At the Stadium of Light? I doubt it.

That's the worst bit of the lot. How f****** dare they say something like that about KK, who has proved himself one of the most honourable men in football over the years, who walked away from a massive England payoff? f****** scumbags. exactly. disgusting that. i dont think he's ever taken a pay off has he? Nope.

Ten years?

Thought it had been a while.

Switching to Barca vs Valencia at 9. Barca have had 24 shots and Valencia have had 1. Score is Barca 0 - 1 Valencia. Fucking ouch!

Not his fault tbh.

Typical Boro. They are a club in league with the devil.

Not happy with Boro playing 120 minutes here like. We need them to beat Reading on Saturday [/very depressing state of affairs].

I'd love to sign Poulsen. He did what I've wanted to do for years.

Violent conduct ffs.

Shows up a serious glitch in the rules that Aliadiere can end up being banned for four games for next to nowt while Martin Taylor will be playing again in three.

Get shot of him.

Parky is heartbroken.

Not sure if they are the best exmpales, as the same club did not buy all four of them. Wegner & Ferguson did not sign any of them are you doubting their scouting networks? What's the fact that the same club didn't buy them all got to do with anything? . Because you have cherry picked 4 good players from 4 different clubs & said look what I could of signed for about £28 million & made it sound as simple, when it isn't as easy that. The same clubs have signed Darren Bent, Zat knight, Krøldrup & Bianchi for more than £28m. Fair point, but I wasn't saying that it's easy to find four players like that. However, even one or two will totally transform a team like ours.

Dunno about Deco, not seen him either, but I think signing a 30 year old (31 in the summer) who would command a mega wage, a hefty transfer fee and who is on the outs at a bigger club would be a huge mistake. Would he really have the hunger at his age? Smells like Butt, Kluivert, Duff etc all over again. Ashton's a crock and can't even get his game ahead of Carlton Cole when he's fit, Bridge is extremely overrated and I feel Brown is a player who looks good at Man Utd and not so good elsewhere when the pressure is on. They were just examples. But they're the type of easy options that we go for too often and end up regretting. They've also been heavily linked with us - I realise that means next to nowt like.

You rate him the Rio bracket. Dont you think Shearer would break the domestic club transfer record. Dont let the battering ram we had in his last few seasons get mixed up with powerhouse we signed. Ok more then, just adds weight to the idea if you want world class, you have to spend a lot of money. Alternatively, you could take the view that a good scouting system will save you millions. Instead of Shearer for £30m, I'd rather have Berbatov, Young, Arteta and Elano for a combined, what, £28m? Well lets put that world class scouting system to work then! Oh hang on... Well, quite. But I hope we don't go and buy Ashton, Bridge, Brown and Deco for a combined £893m. All players that would improve our shithouse tbf. I would probably take all four of them for around £35/40m though. We'd still need another 4 players imo. I'm staggered. I'd pay £20m max and think we'd been ripped off big time.

In millions yes. But I think we have only broken our own transfer record once in the last 5 years & we ain't broke the WORLD TRANSFER RECORD for a while. Of course transfer fee's have went up in that time as well. We've not spent £48m on one player? God, the fucking skinflints.

£150m is a gross exaggeration and would be typical Newcastle. Villa and Citeh were in no better positions than we are at the moment when new managers came in and were given money, ditto Everton though it's taken a bit longer there. Their managers have added to players who were severely underperforming with good players and by extension got the best out of the other lads. We have some good players currently low on confidence and we have some absolute dross. The last thing we want to do is go spaffing cash on either overrated Englishmen or big names who are probably on the slide at bigger clubs. I really hope we look further than that, which is what the likes of Spurs, Everton, Citeh and Villa have done.

nah, Man Utd fans did that after 45 mins with one of theirs. he's since gone on to be the best full-back in the league. the weird thing is Enrique looked alright when he played and seemed to be quite comfortable with the physical side of the english game. Did they though, or was it a few daft buggers from here, there and everywhere who'd never so much as seen Old Trafford? dunno, probably the equivalent lot amongst our fans writing off Enrique if anything tho. seems to me more are just perplexed rather than writing him off, since what he's shown hasn't been terrible like some of the others. Fair enough. I still feel that a good few posters who I would expect to be more level headed have been overly critical. I don't give two fucks if he's misplaced a couple of passes since he arrived, big deal. I've seen nothing of him that suggests he can't be a very competent Premiership left back (let's face it, the competition's hardly brilliant for a start). That's not the same as saying he will be, but I wouldn't expect much more from a kid in a new country than what we've seen so far. A run of games would do him wonders. I don't think he'll get them either fwiw. Another foreign NUFC success - and it'll be all his fault as per.
