When you've got fuk all its worth taking a reasonable risk on someone, Barnes, Arshivan is a reasonable risk imo. Most of those duds have come as very good palyers who've done well in the league and look how that turned out. How is Arshavin or whatever his name is a "reasonable risk", can you explain that to me? Short of you being a *insert name of whoever the hell he plays for here* season ticket holder on the sly or at least having some sort of subscription to The Ruski Channel, I fail to see how you could possibly know that.

Something is not necessarily better than nothing. You'd think all NUFC fans would have learned that after all the duds we've signed over the years who've ended up on massive contracts doing jack shit.

Was just an example, but tbh, if he hasn't seen him play then he has no business in managing a premiership football club. I'm sure he knows who he is, he just doesn't want to take a chance, i think we should, it can't harm us much. Have a word man. If KK hasn't even requested a video of him then he's not the man for the job. We need attacking players, KK wants attacking football, he's one player everyone knows is available, if he hasn't watched him since become NUFC boss then he wants a kick up the arse. Requested a video of him? How does "everyone" know he's available? I've got news for you: not everyone frequents internet forums where people pretend to be experts about players from all over the world. 99% of Newcastle fans won't have ever heard his name. Keegan's been in the job a week and he's supposed to know enough to be prepared to spunk £10m or whatever on a Russian based on nowt but a video and the Sky Sports website bullshit mill? Seriously, has everyone on this forum lost their mind? Wow more than one line in a post from Wullie, have an aspirin and lie down it must of hurt. The lad himself has said he wants to 'move to England' so that's the player covered. His chairman has said he wants him to stay but cannot stop him and have actually 'handed over power of attorney so that we can let an English agency do the serious negotiations' These are actual quotes not shit made up btw, so the player is available, so get off your fuking high horse. One line? What on Earth are you gibbering about now? So KK should sign him because he's available? Glad we've cleared that up. Maybe we should get Luque back for another £10m, he's probably available too.

I too am disappointed KK's not spent £10m on a Russian bloke he's probably never seen play.

Christ Almighty.

I think the sensible thing to do as fans is to assume that Ashley's picked him of a hat behind Keegan's back and start wringing our hands immediately.

BBC will lick up Fergies arse no doubt again and sgow it on telly, even though he still refuses to do any interviews with them. Is that the way it works?

Wise, Adams, Pearce !! What is this, a cockney love in ? Are our new owners determined to turn us into a pale imation chelsea or what. Of all horrible cock-er-nies Wise is the most cock-er-ney and the most horrible. I agree, we need to go back to basics and bring some fucking Geordies in, get some pride back. Someone get on the phone to Rob Lee, Warren Barton and Les Ferdinand quick!

Does that mean if we play them enough times, we'll eventually beat them? Or at least get to sleep with Andie McDowell.

The people doing the draw seem to be labouring under the misapprehension that we beat Arsenal: Bristol Rovers v Southampton Cardiff City v Wolves Sheffield United v Middlesbrough Liverpool v Barnsley Manchester United v Arsenal Preston v Portsmouth Coventry City v West Brom Chelsea v Huddersfield Town

Would the likes of McClaren and Pearce accept a step back from top-level manager to assistant though? I've no idea. I was just bemused by the vitriol towards Pearce. Some people seem to think that the manager's assistant has to be Mourinho or Lippi. I think I'd just rather someone unproven than proven a failure, as such. It's all just a little underwhelming. Proven a failure like Carlos Quieroz at Real Madrid?

If they're anything like the sources of people on here, it means the deal's definitely off.

Who do you suggest Keegan brings in that he knows from abroad?

Fail to see what would be wrong with Pearce. He'd be number two, not the manager ffs. I seem to remember a certain umbrella holding Mike Baldwin look-a-like being alongside Ferguson for a good long while and before him Brian Kidd wasn't exactly Brian Clough when he went to Blackburn either. Calm down with the hysteria.

If Keegan's behind it, I'm behind it. Fuck it. NB: As long as Gus Poyet doesn't ever come within a million miles that is.

Bizarre.

Woodgate knows little of Keegan?

I love how the rags are now banging the "Keegan's not working" drum because he couldn't beat Arsenal at the Emirates (btw God/Ramos's Sevilla got turned over 3-0 there too, they won't fucking mention that will they?), yet a week ago they were telling us that we were the deluded ones for "thinking everything would be alright with Keegan back". Newsflash lads, we expected to get beat there. If you didn't think we would, then you're the deluded cretins, not us.

Don't know if this has been mentioned but Woodgate only trains a couple of days a week because his body can't take a normal training regime. He's totally fucked. We're all desperate for players, understandably so, but I really think we've dodged the proverbial bullet here, no matter how good he was last time. He's 28 now too and already starting to struggle on the pitch as well as off it. We're better out of it.

I'm fully behind KK, I just hope the players who've failed so far are going to do it for him until summer and more importantly, fans aren't affected by the shit that the rags are going to print every single day in an attempt to rock the boat.
