His injury record isn't too bad to be fair, he fucked his hammy then played a full season. Had a niggly season last year with a groin problem. But he's far from a Dyer or a Woodgate.

Why do we have to spend money? If the right players are available cheap, get them. The market is massively inflated right now, spending money is a bad idea. Look at Torres, Carroll, Bent, Henderson and Jones. All worth half that or less.

We seem to be doing out Business quite privately, Cabaye and Marveaux were out the blue, so lets just see what happens.

Don't think there is much need to get rid of Guthrie, he is on low wages, and is ok for league cup games ect.

This. I'm not saying we're doing poor business in this tranfer window. We're buying actually good players for almost nothing. Sadly, by splashing virtually no cash, it seems to me that it's same old Mike Ashley. So basically, since we have a lot of money, we have to splash it? Despite Ba being a good player and Marveaux seemingly a good player with a decent reputation? No point in splashing cash for the sake of it. It's not like these players are shit and just squad fillers. Ashley does a good job in getting players in on the cheap and he gets slated, would you rather we did a Liverpool and splash 20 mill on someone like Henderson?

Ben Arfa is going to play behind Ba. I can't see him being used on the left.

Not impressed with Bartons tweet.

It's a risk, but it could be for the best. I'm probably the only Ashley fan around, but I have faith in Pardew and Ashley.

Craig Gardner would be no more than a sideways step in terms of ability. He has more to his game than Nolan, also is fairly young.

I think the vast majority of people recognise Nolan's importance off the field. Yep. We offered him a contract, he won't want to stay just to be an off the field role model.

Craig Gardner would be a massive upgrade on Nolan.

Exactly. Our team still looks pretty sweet in midfield. HBA Jonas Cabaye Tiote Barton

I love how people want Ben Arfa in the middle to replace him, but as soon as we let him go Mike Ashley turns into the biggest cunt ever...

Makes good business sense. Another good move from Ashley.

Little known fact. I named my cock after him 5 years ago.

He is quite good like.

That is one poorly written article.

Don't think he fits our current style, we would have to chance our game to get anything out of Gameiro.

well you've gone from title challengers to should have qualified for the CL, i think they have enough quality to make the CL too - aside from the fact they don't have any decent strikers, redknapp knew this hence some of their ridiculous bids in the january window I meant in the same way Arsenal were challengers, then they ended up 4th. I expected spurs to go strong until March or so then drop off. A bit like us in 2002.

We had a deal agreed with Seb Larsson, but Brum decided to go back on it. January is a tough time to sign people though. At least we have played some good football under Pardew, its just getting the consistency. Unlike under Souness when it was other teams shitness, and scraping wins here and there.

I'm not sure what you disagree about then? Either way I'm content with Pardew, see how he does with a full summer and a chance to build his own team.

From what I remember, not many people at all backed him when he first took over. Everyone was furious with the appointment.

So you didn't think Souness was going to ruin us?

Yeah they need a striker, but I expect Defoe, Pav, Crouch could get enough goals between them. I think they should be CL easily. Not miles off. They have the best midfield in the league by far. If Pavlyuchenko had consistency they would have qualified for CL.
