Translation: "Newcastle fans, please don't turn off the telly! You're our main audience! Please! Come back..." You're not wrong either.

Are there only 13 players in the world? I reckon there might just be a midfielder out there better than the s**** we've got. Well who are you saying we should have signed, realistically? I'm not paid by the club to find players. The manager and his scouts should have found someone.

He'll have Gerrard in the middle with SWP on the right IMO

That's a fantastic line at the end mate, you should be really proud of yourself. Why didn't you just ask if I was gay, or black? Not impressed at all, and I'm not wasting my time with you anymore.

thjey did both at the same time, rather than do one first then the other later. his second signing was a young lad from AC Milan's reserves (Vieira) and his 4th a raw 17 year old poached from PSG's youth side who had only a handful of senior appearances (Anelka). and with people like comolli and dein working for the club he could afford to delegate some responsibility to them so that both approaches are pursued simultaneously. it seems we're trying to do the same thing. Arsenal weren't in the position we are in when they appointed Wenger. They were a top 5 team when he took over.

Geordie nation, init.

Good post. It seems people are envious of Wenger's achievements at Arsenal yet don't want to see the same set up implemented here. Strange. Iz becoz we canna parayde dem lyek. If dey not heard of dem den they must be shit innit?! seems like deja vue here. Under Souness we were told that it was fine to clear out the bad eggs because Alex Ferguson did, now we are being told its OK buying a load of 17 year olds because Arsene Wenger has. Quite incredible the complete rubbish that people get suckered into believing, and all because the fat bastard ate all their pies or something......... Not to mention, that Bobby Robson has been down the same path and didn't match Wenger ie Bramble, Ambrose, Viana, Gavilan, Cort, Cordone, Jeanarse, Lua Lua, Bassedas, O'Brien.............. his best buys for the club being Woodgate, Bellamy and Robert by a country mile. Agree with that. It's ok building for the future, but it should be done after the main squad is built. Arsenal didn't go out and find youngsters whilst Arsenal were shite - they built a good team before then building the academy. We're desperately short of players who can improve what is essentially an awful premiership team. We should be looking for those players now. But Keegan has said the players he wants are not available in January, so what is he to do? Does he buy other players now for the sake of getting people in or wait until the Summer to get the players in he wants? Do you not feel you've heard and seen it all before though? I have absolutely no confidence that the players we can get in summer will be any better than the ones we could get now. We'll certainly be in a worse position in summer than we are at the moment.

Obviously the ideal is a bit of both. Developing the first team and hope youngsters come through later on. I don't think the last two weeks in January is enough for the new manager to convince very good players to come here (and their teams to sell them) though. Ashley's fault for the timing of the sacking. Allardyce should have gone before Christmas.

It's not about bringing these players in, it's about NOT bringing in players who can improve the team now. Very disappointing from the club. Other clubs have bought players in January, so I'm not accepting that it's impossible.

Gonna have exactly the same problem in summer then.

We made an offer. They turned it down. We're not going back for him. Thanks for the info Mr Mort... I'm right though, as I've been about all of these deals in the last few weeks Its still nothing but guess work whether you end up right or not Not always.

Injured.

Probably a good thing. Shows Capello knows his football.

s***. Hope the frail fucker gets injured. That will help NUFC a great deal. Keeping him out the team is a good thing tbh. We aint got the quality to supply him leaving him to be largely ineffective. Ameobi and Carroll are better than Owen then?

I don't understand your desperation to sign a player you know absolutely nothing about? Its deadline day, lets take a punt on someone!! I'd rather it be someone who would improve the team this season. We've got the money, I don't understand why people are worried about inflated prices. It'll be worse in summer if people know we're looking to spend big.

Shit. Hope the frail fucker gets injured. That will help NUFC a great deal.

He's better than Martins tbh, certainly on current form.

Aye man, f*** building for the future. No being serious! lets just watch the youth side, instead of the shower of s**** we've watched all season This is how Arsenal have signed players like Fabregas, Anelka, Vierra etc. in the past btw. Worth pondering. Arsenal let other teams do the hard work, and then use legal loopholes to steal all of their best youngsters. We need to be part of that deal somehow.

More likely to use toontastic anyway

Kev, if you're reading this.... Please don't think that Martins and Geremi will turn us into a decent team. They've tried before. They won't.

We bought 5 tickets for that match. 4 of them (man united fans) don't want to go now
