Could be really tricky if his budget is a couple of million. Not sticking up for the doddery old git, just saying. if he's budget is that low, he is surely after the wrong targets?

But holy shit, JFK has the easiest job on earth. Gomis, out in the cold, wants to come, cheap. Bent, Out in the cold, knows Pardew. Cheap-ish. Remy, relegated, seemingly wanted to join us in january. cheap-ish. Not sure Gomis and Bent are good enough, but how fucking hard can it be?

and how easy it should be to get some targets "over the line". Which he obviously cant.

Piece on him by Mark Douglas, sums up alot of the fans frustration i think: http://www.thejournal.co.uk/sport/sport-opinion/mark-douglas-kinnears-credibility-stretched-5431652

£2m and option to buy isn't to bad. We desperately need it.

Think alot want to see more of this guy, without Tiote in the team. Hopefully we can see him playing to his potential this year.

Arsenal are a step up, but how will going to arsenal solve his off-field problems? Seems he's just whining.

Corner goal... what the?

Would give us a big boost if he stays. Hopefully we can get someone to help him out on top, but atleast this is something.

Frightening silence. Can only see a repeat of last year, with shola on top.

Has all our goals so far. Worrying thing is that i can see us starting the season with him as a serious option up front ..

Shola is probably considered a keymember of the squad now.

Already sick of this season

Straight red in a friendly? What a joke, would have hoped to get 90 minutes against 11 in preseason.

Closely coming out of the dreambubble that we are gonna sign someone. Won't believe it until a new player actually starts an official game for us and the window is closed.

Hopefully at the end of this summers transfer saga we have strikers that can actually play along with other players, or even together with other strikers. (Hopefully with Cisse still here). Edit: With Gomis mainly playing up top alone, that might be hard

Some on twitter claiming antisemitic comments?

upgrade on shola. Not on Cisse.

We have a shitstorm around us attracting easily avoidable shit like this. No doubt this will affect us greatly this summer.

Virgin Money offer loans for Muslims, sharia banking if you will. That particular brand of high street banking is also such an integral part of society, something that has been around so long there has probably been a degree of modernisation and acceptance from Muslims too. It would be extremely hard for anyone to go about their day to day lives without banks. Payday lenders are a completely different beast. They're relatively new entities that cater to those in dire need and make vast sums of cash off the back of individuals who don't have a lot to begin with. You don't need to be a religious person to feel extremely uneasy that there's an entire industry sprung up around lending money to people who are struggling to get by at frankly eye watering rates of interest. It's sick. And these c***s are associated with our club. And in a region where unemployment is through the roof and more and more people have to rely on them. So if I became a Muslim could I stroll into Virgin and ask for an interest free loan then? Thats a very good answer from David Icke. I'm not very educated in islamicbanking, however i think it is the same in principal. You loan money, buy something, and pay abit more back. Stolen from Wikipedia: In an Islamic mortgage transaction, instead of lending the buyer money to purchase the item, a bank might buy the item itself from the seller, and re-sell it to the buyer at a profit, while allowing the buyer to pay the bank in installments. However, the bank's profit cannot be made explicit and therefore there are no additional penalties for late payment. In order to protect itself against default, the bank asks for strict collateral. The goods or land is registered to the name of the buyer from the start of the transaction. This arrangement is called Murabahah. Another approach is EIjara wa EIqtina, which is similar to real estate leasing. Islamic banks handle loans for vehicles in a similar way (selling the vehicle at a higher-than-market price to the debtor and then retaining ownership of the vehicle until the loan is paid).

If its because of the sponsor, how is it any different than last year? Virgin Money also has interest on their loans, and isn't that the case with muslims ? Hope he stays, won't get anyone better in a million years.

Seems like a good run out, hope we can field more first teamers very soon.

Will he get points as a defensive midfielder however? Tend to stay away from those .. Him and Bellamy at 5 and 5.5 could be good buys!
