Fucking love him, so happy he got a goal !!!!!

No need to bin but aye I think it's been posted before. Still an interesting read, cheers.

I'd somehow forgotten Karl Henry existed. Hope Wolves win but someone murders his tibia.

Honestly between he and Butt they murdered the last bit of lenience I had for poor performers with good character.

*Woots softly*

Like all midgets, SWP seems younger and more talented than he really is. In reality he is 29 and crap. Pass.

Well, I'm kind of split on this the more I think about it. 1) Ashley's not really "asset stripped" or attempted to sell everyone off at cut rate prices, as many feared he would. Given is the only player I can think of who went for well below anyones estimated value, and even then there were extenuating circumstances, so I'm not ready to level the "asset stripper" label at Ashley. 2) Ashley's not really been in possession of an asset like Carroll yet - one which could easily fetch £15m+ - so his resolve hasn't been tested. Is he interested in keeping our best players to help push the club forward? If he did sell would he reinvest? If it's the latter I don't think he'd let him go for peanuts. As for pocketing the cash - I think Ashley's not planning on recouping his investment from primarily player sales; it seems to me he's trying to drive down the running costs via the wage cap so that merch+tv+gates cover it and he'll pocket whatever's left over, with player sales and whatever he wants to put back in funding the transfer kitty. I also think, without evidence I must admit, that he still wants out but has learned to keep from saying things like that in public.

Completely agree with freaky gyrating chicken man.

Sounds like you've done this before. You read enough of them on craigslist and you can write them in your sleep.

Yeah just put out an ad on craigslist. "Are you a straight guy who loves newcastle united? Want to jack off with another straight guy over a potential starting XI? Hit me up. No gay shit, just two dudes with their dicks out. Let's touch them and see what happens. I stress, no homo."

That's why they want Carroll. Looking at the team they've built it's clear they need that big target man, both to deliver to or to help hold up for the other attacking options. Crouch is definitely not it. Probably the last missing piece of the puzzle between them and consistent top 4 finishes + the odd trophy.

If Crouch had even an average leap or average heading ability he'd be a monster with the service they could provide.

I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing. We're safe.

Four more please.

aston cunting villa!? Why the fuck?

I'm off to support Man U with the other Americans. Good luck with this shit, Mike.

Domenech was a psycho who literally believed in balancing the astrological signs of his squad? Also Robert Pires?

There's a lot of players worth breaking a wage structure for and he isn't one of them. Glad it's over with relatively quickly instead of spending the whole window negotiating. On to other targets.

Fuck this gay earth

I, for one, welcome our new robot officiating overlords.

There is, it just doesn't work very well. Oh. I thought I'd killed the server earlier trying, but the Ste search came back with a single result for this whole thread. Figured it was "working as intended" and there wasn't a way to get what he was after.

I hope that "would let him leave for free" would carry the understanding that we'll be the one Vela goes out on loan to. Multiple birds, one stone. I don't think he'd get enough games with you for Wenger to send him on loan, i don't think he'd want Campbell THAT much to sacrifice Vela. If pardew wouldn't start Carroll + Vela every game possible there'd be major questions asked of his mental faculties.
