it's all talk at the minute.wait till he goes back to training. one way to find out would be to make a bid and see if they accept.

I really do not see what our league position last season, has got to do with anything!! Things have changed SO much since then. It is fairly irrelevant, don't you think? No not really no. Sam is doing the things that we have needed for so long, building a squad. Yet everyone is having a go at him and his signings already. Best fans in the world my f****** arse. bit over the top don't you think ? Not really no. I've read a lot of people going oh these aren't the such and such players and aren't really capturing our imaginations. These have been the sort of players we have been crying out for. Build upon solid foundations man for christ sake. it seems like the majority are very happy with the signings so far but naturally would like some world class stars to come in.

on the gala field,newbiggin nhall player gets sent off,player walks off the pitch,goes to his car,gets in car and drives on to the pitch and chases the ref.

must have missed the bit where you get a Premier league medal for playing for England You are joking right? Right? :lol: http://www.bbc.co.uk/tyne/content/images/2006/05/10/shearer5_burn_400x300.jpg photoshop

apparently they've had bids in for baines (£3mill),nugent (£6mill) and unconfirmed for defoe (£8mill),but not surprisingly no-one wants to go. Hmmmm, wonder why? I honestly thought they'd at least make a go of things this time. They've sold loads of season tickets on the back of the expectation of Keane bringing in a few decent players.... one or two of my mackem mayes are starting to get worried.

oh yes it does.a nice place to live about 12 miles away as plenty of there players have done in the past.

building for next season ?

4-4-2 ?

that seals it then

aye probably

didn't people say that when chelsea signed shevchenko and ballack ?

i'm sure we've heard this sort of talk before.

and if the football side is providing that much for the other areas then he may have no need/desire to sell or re list or sell at a later date.

if it's quite easy to replace them with better people why is he trying to get them to work their notices............................i think someone's nose is growing

aye,the lesson was learned "don't expect the premier league to act even handedly" did everyone know manu acted as an illegal third party aswell,they made everton drop tim howard for the game against them that won the title.

Come on, be fair. How can you doubt Cole after they way he took Cristiano Ronaldo out of the game every time they two teams met? boumsong done it with terry henry

Don't you think it's high time the man who's just taken over the football club we all support, or in this case his second in command, came out and told us what his plans are with his new acquisition? I for one am very curious about his level of commitment to bringing us success or otherwise, and find it rather strange that we, as fans, haven't demanded to be informed of this earlier, before Mr Ashley got hold of our club immeadiatly. We are after all his ´customers´ and in the middle of season ticket renewal.. THIS WILL BE VERY INTERESTING. I am certain he will cover most, hopefully all, of: (1) His Role. (2) Shepherds Role. (3) Ashley's Role. (4) Ashley's 'general' aims and 'general' plans for the club (Premier League Champions / Winning Champions League - or whatever . . . ) (5) Some 'specific' short-term objectives (next season). (6) Hopefully, some 'specific' (time-related) longer-term objectives. (7) Re-development / extension of the ground (Shepherds £300M plans for Conference Centres, Hotels, etc). 8 De-listing the club from the LSE (when and WHY). (9) That money (additional over NUFC earned-income) will be put in to facilitate player purchases - but NO specific figures will be given!! All of the above, and more that I cannot bring directly to mind, are things that I have wanted to know about ever since the Ashley takeover was first mooted. I would find all this very (very) interesting (cannot understand why any of us would not!) and I think that for the FIRST TIME we will actually KNOW (not newspaper speculation) some stuff about our club's likely future, by tomorrow morning!! yes that would all be very interesting if we had reason to believe it when spoken,you have to remember if mort were to know that ashley wants to spend nothing and purely play on the gullibilty of the fans then he would still come out with all the platitudes and big plans. talk is cheep.

and possibly european football

bridge would be a fantastic signing,the main problem i have with it is "would morinho let him go?" he was far better than cole last season.

i don't think it'll be interesting,he'll say that funding will be made available to the manager for team stregthening,everything is geared towards going forward,aiming for europe etc. any new man in would say these things,doing it is worth a lot more.

how many players currently at SJP wouls have us as their top choice..........possibly steven taylor,all the rest given the choice between us or manu,chelsea etc wouldn't be here. the only way owen is any different is that he is probably good enough to go to one of those. except they won't pay £9m at this moment. On the plus side, this gives Sam a window of opportunity to seal some great players here if we get off to a good start. thats why owen held on when he originally came here.he thought one of man u/chels/arse/l-pool would come in for him. it makes me giggle when people say he doesn't want to be here when practically everyone at the club is like that.
