We have spoke to Baines and he wants to come but we are not offering him what wages he wants so he wont be coming here until we decide to re negotiate with him. Thats according to his cousin who I have been speaking to today.

Cant see Everton selling him, they have a paper thin squad as it is so I doubt that they are going to sell there best defender.

Really cant understand why anybody rates this fella. We might aswel get Viana back if we were going to bid for Deco, he would be more use to us.

Problem with that article is that the players mentioned were all proven in there respective league. Marcelino looked a class defender for Mallorca but didnt want to play for us. Same goes for Luque and Boumsong

Would be good for him to just train with the senior squad. He already has a big ego, imagine if he got his first cap for England, we would have trouble on our hands and he would want away to one of the top 4 straight away!

A team like Everton? Why not us?

Whats wrong with them demanding that price for there best player? If someone really wants him, they will pay that ammount and then Charlton will sign 2 or 3 players with that money. If they dont sell, he will just get them back into the Premiership on his own. Either way, Charlton are winners.

So did I. They must be signing someone. *Shevchenko* Cough Aren't they shifting that Gillardino too? Maybe someone else out there they fancy as well...Etoo? Henry? Corradi? Not a bad move, getting rid of Gillardino. Never really impressed me when I have seen him play.

Jesus wept, looking like a tin pot club again!

Thought Helder did a decent job when he was here, tbh.

Agreed. He is just staying in the comfort zone for me. I aint too sure wether he would be able to adapt his game to the Spanish/Italian game.

If my nan had a dick she would be my grandad. No she would be a ladyboy! http://westgroup.biology.ed.ac.uk/pics/ladyboys.jpg

Agree with you there Nobby, wrong move if you ask me. How Sam you'll got a bit of cash now so use it, you aren't at Bolton now. Just because he has abit more money now than he did when he was at Bolton doesnt mean he has to spend it. He would do at least a half decent job and add some strength in depth to the squad to cover for injuries, ect.

Would do a half decent job for us, IMO. With Zoggy looking like he is on his way and Duff injured till November, he could do a job, just like Sibierski did. He must have done something right for Rafa to start him in the CL final?

They should have got shot of him to Chelsea when they had the chance, look how Lampard and Gerrard play for England, hardly world beaters are they?! Alonso is a better player for Liverpool, IMO. He might not have the drive of Gerrard but he certainly has a better passing ability and is just as good a tackler as him. Sissoko and Alonso would be better in the middle than Gerrard and Sissoko/Alonso.

Agreed, like a better version of Faye tbh. Breaks up play and gets about well but a very limited player. Honestly think that's harsh on the lad, he's a much better player than that. Looks good for Liverpool at times because he has a very basic role, namely to win the ball in midfield. Meanwhile Alonso alongside him has the task of passing it from the middle, while at the same time playing as a ballwinner in midfield himself. They play with two holding midfielders for the most part, think its easier to look good for him in a system like that. His touch can be a shambles at times too. I agree to an extent. Sissoko's only job for L'Pool is to win the ball.. but Alonso doesn't break up much play himself, a Spanish version of Michael Carrick. Comparing Alonso to Carrick is very harsh. Alonso is alot better than Carrick and vastly underrated by many because he isnt English. For me Alonso offers more to 'Pool than "Stevieeeee".

Totally irrelevant. Its like saying am getting paid at the end of the month, i think i'll stick the £50 note down the drain. This all good if Ashley takes full control and he is willing to put this kind of money in and its not just paper talk. Why not burn it in blu bamboo with Dyer, Jenas et al?! Even better idea. You have to be dressed up like batman & robin though and be a cocky arrogant cunt

The majority of fans will be on his side, I just worry about the people that will get on his back as soon as someone missplaces a pass. I think the problem for sam with joining newcastle is that you crave instant success and he isnt the kinda guy who will give that. His first 2 seasons in charge of us weren't great, we were very lucky IMO to get promoted however after that he really came into his own up until the end of 2005. Given time I think he will do an ok job with you but I'd be very suprised if you finish higher than 10th next season Aslong as we are going in the right direction.

He is currently in the Freeman getting his lungs and chest looked at!

Does this mean that they will have to re-apply for league status, starting from the bottom?!

Yes. He was the right man last year when we appointed Roeder. If he can get cheap players playing well, im sure he can get decent performances out of expensive players. Its just big egos I aint sure he can handle.

I'd take that deal right now. Owen has no interest in us, he is avoiding questions about us at England press conferences, the only thing he's ever talked about since he's been here is fuking England. A c*** of the highest order. thats quite pathetic really. can you show me a quote from owen which says he doesnt care about us and wants to leave? Because he's treated us as well as we've treated him. We've put up with two seasons of injury, while paying his ludicrous wages and in that time all we've heard from him is him pining for England (Literally) and when confronted to commit to the club the cunt hides away, then dismisses any attempt for anyone to ask him questions about his future. (Whether England asked the media or not, no doubt he asked England to protect him) I'm noy happy with his actions, call me pathetic i really dont give a fuk, but at least your up front with your opinions unlike Mickey the unloyal prick. He's gone as soon as an offer comes in and he'll not feel bad about leaving a £10m+ hole in a club who 'rescued him' so he could go to the World Cup. So if the media ask him a question about England, you want him to talk about Newcastle? Still think he will be off, if not this summer, next & who could blame him!
