come on then......you want someone to ask......whats "the plan"?

Absolutely. give it time....within as week or two it'll be so outlandish it'll be entertaining.

maybe it was the one day they could get everyone together in the same place. on the other hand why would ashley wait till he got keegan to london to kick his arse ?

So i take it Ashley invited him down south to tell him how good his joke was? just possible they may have wanted to meet to talk over the summer's transfer moves. So you have it down as pretty much a coincident? Im not sure i do to be honest - at first i read it as a joke as well but the manner in which it was said and the context of the subsequent message made me think otherwise. yes that comment i took as a joke but the meeting well.....i'd have been more concderned if the heirarchy didn't meet before the window opens. Thiz is it though - i thought they had already met about transfer targets and that they'd swapped lists for keegan to scout and Wise and Co to pursue, what else needed discussing to the extent that he had to bring forward a press conference and censor the questions in said conference. what else needed discussing ? i'd much prefer it if they met at least once a week to discuss developments etc

It's one of them. i'm losing the rumour here.....is it KK stuttering or the club in general from what you've heard ?

do you mean judge them on when they do what they say they will do ie buy nobody in January ? I agree that you shouldn't ALWAYS judge people simply on what they say, there are a number of examples over the years ..... yet boro and woodgate admitted we outbid spurs on fee and terms. so they say walked into that didn't I ?

NE5 have you worked out the difference between what people say and do. yes mort said that but the only player we know they actually went for (woodgate) doesn't really fit into that does it ? sometimes people put far too much into interviews, disecting each sentence and making out they are hard and fast rules.

might be 02.22 where you are kidda....not in the place we are all bothered about

big physically. didn't think he was a regular starter and don't think he' cut it in the prem

probably already posted but mancini rumoured yo be going to stamford bridge

i herad a rumour a while back that if hull got promoted they'd be interested in shola and this was part of the reason for sholas reluctance to go to stoke permanently.(plus due to his performances for them i think the potters went rather cool on the idea)

at the same time as a bid for gomes has been turned down off spurs. were spurs in the market for 2 keepers was was the ITK not really ITK ?

the size of hull and the surrounding area makes me think this could take off.

Hull in the prem ? they might re-open the tower nightclub specially.

june 1st isn't it ?

aye.......next season the way some are going on

apart from press reports which are often wrong or downright lies, what makes you so sure we are after him in the first place ? Hence the word potentially. Do you need a definition for that? i read it as potentially signing for spurs. if he did why should we be pissed off if we aren't even sure we were in for him in the first place.

as far as i'm aware neither NUFC or gala have made official any bid from us.

right so we are supposed to be pissed off about a player we aren't even officially linked with. everyone slags off the press for telling lies then believes everything they write.

i've took gomez as top scorer(23) and to finish in the top 3(7.6). he's in the easiest group,easier side of the draw and playing for the tournament favourites. opportunities to lay (fnarr fnarr) later.

I can't say I agree with that - I'm of the opinion that this is an Ashley drive. This is no more than speculation, but I believe Denis Wise's "Newcastle Reserves & Development Squad" has two very specific goals. Firstly, nobly, the hope is to find the new Cesc Fabregas - a player that costs next to nothing, spends a year or two developing before establishing himself in the first team. However, some quotes have led me to believe that the second hope is to find the next Nicholas Anelka - a player who costs next to nothing and is shortly afterward sold for a 20m profit. That's a fantastic return in anybody's language but to me, if persued as a policy, smacks of profiteering and even becoming a "selling club"... Am I being alarmist? Personally, I like the new setup, but only if it works properly and it must be said the jury is still out on that one too... yes and no. unfortunatly today players can force moves so you sell for what you can...if you can get in the right manager and players you may get a squad high enough up that players don't want to leave.
