And then come ACON (assuming Shola goes with Nigeria as well) we're left with Lovenkrands as a lone striker. It actually hurts.

As back up to Ba with potential to improve it's not a bad deal. Obviously it's not an exciting deal but this is about as good as it's going to get under Ashley.

Mackem at work reckons Sebastien Larsson is better so they don't need him anyway.

Add in Taylor and it would be a fantastic window Provided Jose stays.

This would be a disgrace.

Me too

Bruce wont be. He must've ran up one hell of a bill on iTunes finding the perfect song to play when they beat us. he was celebrating more than most last time iirc The ball bouncing in off Gyan probably saved him his job to be fair.

It's impossible for Cabaye to not look flawless. Definitely the new Ginola (since they're both French and dreamy obviously).

So lets get this right. You have a better defence. You have a better midfield. You have better forwards. Amazing,simply amazing how you continually conspire to finish below us year after year. Lets get one thing very,very clear,Newcastle do not have a forward anywhere near the class of Gyan and I mean not even close. You might not either if Gyan gets his way Pwned

I'd be gutted if we'd signed O'Shea. Brown is an ok verging on poor player and he'll never stop being injured anyway. There's always the glorious moment when reality dawns on them every season. This time it will be truly epic .

Yes please. Any mention of the price Citeh are looking for?

Making Coloccini captain doesn't put us in the Champions League next season so I'd say no. Obviously, but at the same time, with them being amigos, Enrique might feel obligated to help him. Maybe they should offer the role of vice-captain to Enrique and see if it makes a difference (doubt it will though).

Making Coloccini captain doesn't put us in the Champions League next season so I'd say no. Chuffed to bits for Colo though. The right choice

Those youtube videos are depressing. He might well be the first footballer I've ever felt genuine sympathy for.

never lost a Derby iirc. Neither have a lot of our managers to be fair.

To be honest though free and injury prone: I'm surprised Ashley hasn't already snapped him up.

Wanted us to sign him badly back in 2004. Still kinda torn as I remember the player he was but his fitness problems scream Dyer at West Ham.

That's how it sounded to me. Hope so, anyway. That's how it sounded to me. Hope so, anyway. Sounds like it's a case of http://calawreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/blue_haired_lawyer_simpsons.jpg?w=150 vs http://www.iphoneworld.ca/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/lionel-hutz-iphone.gif I wonder if Ashley's a cheap skate when it comes to getting a lawyer too.

"Like a new signing" etc etc... aka. Nolan's replacement. Funnily enough the Scouse Mackem at work said he had a nack of 'being in the right place at the right time' and I thought of Nolan . He didn't have much else positive to say about him though other than that they should never have lost him for free.

"Hopefully we'll be able to have you in again some time." "NOOOOOOOO...I MEAN I DO LOVE COMING IN."

Eh? That's not what he said at all. It was actually.

Basically admitting Ashley's a tight fisted git.
