The People ffs.

The transfer window's been open for 22 minutes and we've not signed anyone yet? Fucking sick of this shambles of a board.

Apparently there's a picture going round of Paul Scholes with his knob out.

Just seen a picture of him in a Fenerbahce shirt, I'll try and get a link.

Christ, this bloke's dull.

There's no way on God's Earth anyone will pay £8m for him... is there?

Terrible. That´s not so bad considering the idiots that we had managing the team at times felt players like Amdy Faye and Alan Smith would offer more in midfield.. How many starts has Owen got in that time? When did either of those ever get picked consistently ahead of Emre? Very little to do with selection, very much to do with his injury record.

He goes with my thanks for some really great performances and great goals (that one in particular) but didn't do it anywhere near often enough, mainly through not being on the sodding pitch. Thanks for being shit hot on Pro Evo too. If we're getting back what we paid or more, we're laughing.

Already been posted, Defoe's mate come on and spilled the lot

Disgraceful from Gerrard.

I like Emre a lot as a player but he's fuck all use when he's never on the pitch. If you could guarantee at least 30 games a season from him, I'd keep him in a flash but otherwise he's of no use.

Panic stations in may. Mental.

I love how it's now become accepted fact that shepherd never signed any player for less than megabucks.

Sorry. Little less subtlety next time!

Apart from '73 you mean?

I don't doubt it, it usually appears in those sorts of things, but unless SWP is wanting to go down the Bigg Market, get arseholed in Rewind and start a fight outside KFC, the Toon's nightlife is really not a pulling point imo. It's fucking shit. Not really for this thread but I thought I might as well stick my two-penneth in anyway.

Could well be. Depends who you're after I suppose. I was thinking Stevie Taylor, but it's possible he might change to a lower number like 5 or 6. Do you think the club shop will take it back if they do decide to change? For Taylor, I'd leave it mate, be on the safe side. Can't see them taking it back either when it's a wasted shirt and you've been wearing it for two months. Middle of July is usually when they're announced and can't change after that, I'd give it till then.

Thought we were talking about him coming to Newcastle?

I know he can hit a great direct free kick but what are the rest of his set pieces like? For £2-3m I'd definitely take him like as a squad player. You can barely buy an average Championship player for that these days and he's impressed me whenever I've seen him, the game at St Andrew's turned round when he went off.

Shit team. If we'd had Ashley Young on the pitch during the latter qualifiers, we'd have done it and even now he's being left out. Ridiculous.

And hike the asking price up.

Seems daft to me as well. I'm desperately disappointed that we're not going to feature this summer. Couldn't really give two fucks about this friendly though.
