viduka will get it

probably makes sense where you come from Yes actually it does make sense here in Canada... Should make sense wherever you are as well, simple English are you talking yorkie as in a person from yorkshire or a citizen of the city of york ? and what does it mean to "lick a nut"

GOOD! i realise it's very spiteful but i'm happy for you.

probably makes sense where you come from

mickey martins ?

We have been rich for a while now & we have got fleeced a stacks of times because we are big spenders. Do you think it'll be different if we went, "Shhh man, we're skint. Only got £5m to spend". I think the takeover has given it away that we'll be spending money like. your missing the point. This club shouldn't spend £50 million on players at this time, it would probs do more damage as its no garauntee to make any difference on us getting 6th. Without European football to offer your most likely not being able to attract the right type of expensive player for Newcastle. You will get over-priced one season wonders from smaller clubs who may or may not do it again. Truth is we don't need to spend £50 million, so why harp on about having it. If we spent £50 million for the sake and thrill to spend "£50million" then we are complete dickheads and not spending money cause we need to, but because we think we have to, despite the clubs circumstances and managers requirements. We've already bought and sold and received compensation so that we've made money and brought good players in. If Allerdyce pulls a few more cheap ones out for better quality players you suddenly have nothing to spend £50 million on, other than over price s**** that will just increase wage bill and force a rotation system of expensive players. Forget the amount, focus on what is right for Newcastle and wait to see who we buy. If we don't spend £50 million, people will moan as they have now read it in a paper and think it will happen. All I care about is finishing 6th as cheaply as possible. We have good players, but we don't need another £50 million pounds worth if its the type of player who signs for clubs who outside of Europe. the manager needs to spend as much as he can get his hands on to get us as high up the league as possible.

His touch is s***, i won't deny that. But the guy's got talent - he scored 17 goals in his debut season for a s*** English team. Something that is mega different to anything he's ever played in before. He was effectively playing a more offensive position than normal, cos he was the only striker we had. Yet he still put a decent shift in. Movement can be worked on, and that was my major gripe with him, or it was last season as he was a centre-forward, but he was unlike one and was static. But it can be worked on with good teaching. Teaching a striker to move is hardly something that can't be done. And when he establishes causing the defense trouble with running without the ball, he'll come on in leaps and bounds, cos only a miniscule percentage of Premiership defenders can even catch teh b******. Sorting his touch out is down to him, though. We know that it's there, it just needs to be utilised. A good team/good staff will help that. And our staff, at the very least, will be 100% better this season than what it was last. Movement is pretty instinctive imo, it can be improved yes but his is awful and he's been playing in the most tactical league in the world before now so if you think he's got potential in that sense, you might as well argue any young striker with poor movement has imo. He's got something about him, i.e. the ability to do the extradinary but, imo, his basics are so lacking that he'll always be inconsistent. Anyway, as Dave says this has been done to death and it's all about opinions, eh? i'm in the sell him camp but..............his movement aint helped by who he's played up front with...how much movement do you want from a forward playing upfront on his own an?d getting high long balls

FM talk really.....in the not too distant past players like solano,hamman and ginola who people knew little about if anything at all but when brought in were quality. then again if we get linked with giego shaveback from fc porntown someone on here will give us the complete rundown on him

Arsenal maybe cos Wegner is an expert dealing with African players. Fergie would not touch him. i'm talkin about his style of play

he's not a bad player.....................but!!!!!!! i honestly think he'd fit better into the man utd set up than ours or arsenals

if he and owen go(personally if we lose one i'd rather it were martins)we have £22mill extra to spend. And only a few weeks left (given the inevitable lenghty sagas) to sign fill the void's that two top class strikers have left. What's the point when we've got what we have? If Allardyce can get it to click, and i think it's worth him atleast having a go, it could be a cum-worthy-ish-ly good forward line. If it doesn't so be it, but it might. did you watch martins much last season ?

if he and owen go(personally if we lose one i'd rather it were martins)we have £22mill extra to spend.

do we trust allardyce to get in a 20 goal a season striker...he has the cash!! if he can then let oba go....it works on two levels in that i dont think he's suited for the way allardyce wants to play and i don't think he's suited to arsenals style.

the sun......wenger wants oba in anyone really that miffed under the present circumstances ?

We cant all be like Coach HTT but if we were that human race would have died out a long long long time ago

It's a laugh looking back tbh. or a shitter when you realise you got the lot right and missed out a trillion zillion gazillion to one bet that came up

this is really shit,probably get 7 or 8 pages!

venezuela blew me out last night,am now doubling argentina with fc haka (win double)

d'you reckon his accent will be as annoying to spanish ears ?

can you imagine if we had got ben haim and sidwell which we were,by all accounts,very close to....we'd have those two and barton,viduka,rozehnal and possibly geremi for a net outlay of about £2.5mill.

i did and i disagree with you. i agree with toontownman and will also say as the season went on his distribution got worse aswell

Isn't Lahm from Munich? Not that is all that possible any way. i'd heard lahm has gone massivly backwards since his good showings in the world cup....anyone know ?

you've got to change that av.................i'm wasting far too much time in a mesmorised state!
