I think last season his Tayolresque logic of choosing to make silly decisions did himself no favours. From memory his got sent off for pulling Suarez, put Nasri out for 8 weeks with a rediculous double foul whilst on his arse and then being brought on and rugby tackling Etoo to concede a pen. Oh and I do recall watching one of his first games where under no pressure he passed the ball straight to the opposition whilst bringing the ball out of defence. He's a good player though I just think the reason he is out of the team is the same reason Taylor is.

Get France Football sayin' l'Equipe reporting Monaco are interested in Moussa. Liverpool were too apparently.

Madness. Lets see what he does at his next club.

Football intelligence beats France. Amen.

While Sissoko is f***ing huge - he doesn't play like he is. He's a bit of a fairy sometimes I'd agree he's a fairy in the tackle but he does have a knack of getting past players and never seems to get barged off the ball. Once he gets past he's usually lost control of the ball by that point

Micah Richards is very, very injury prone isn't he and could this be the player Pards was on about for £14m? I would imagine if he signed and he plays RB behind Moussa we would literally have the strongest RH side in the league (physique rather than technique mind!)

That's 'cheating' within the rules. Completely irrelevant. But neither option is irrevalent with this guy though. He takes his society back to the primative age yet he should be held against modern society's standards. The outcry when he has though...

Wonder what the odds on Suarez to catch the ball defending his team's goal to stop them conceding within the next season are? Surely worthy of a daft bet

Micky Quinn article in the Ronnie Gill says that this guy walked out of the transfer talks. Sounds about right for us.

The money needs spent but if you need to pay £15m and assuming its paid up front it would have to be for Lukaku rather than Wellbeck.

The lad is talented but also flawed as his head drops too quickly. He needs to work on his defensive game and first and foremost and stop doing them trademark trailing leg attempts at tackling as opposition players go past him.

Apparently this kid plays left back better than midfield according to a couple of mackem work mates so he could end up there also.

To be fair he's never played with Jack Colback. Just ask hoppaz about wor Jacks dazzling abilities and how lacking in skill Ben Arfa is in comparison.. I never said HBA lacks skill or ability but he lacks professionalism which transpires into the fact that if he was fit and sharp he might have controlled that ball better. As it happens he didn't and rather than track back to try to get the ball back he got up and pleaded at the ref for a free kick whilst they went up and scored. Again, where is the evidence that he isn't fit or wasn't fit when he wasn't being played? Please don't say it's because he looked fat in photos. I don't think I could take any more of that kind of 'evidence'. I saw it with my own eyes. I was in Lanzarote at the time in a bar full of different supporters who were commenting on his weight... http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,91227.21950.html There is an epic NPW fail by Dave too for added amusement

Ok to flip that a player that gave a good return at that wage vs those sitting on our bench who are on much larger contracts yet exhibit a desire to do their best for a team by giving not a single fuck for our club, which would you rather have?

Could you tell me what he actually does? Well he managed to bezazzle HBA on the half way line, taking the ball of him will ease, before going upfield to score in the derby. Gozzas replacement and if he turns out better than expected it will be a bonus for me. Oh and fwiw HBA couldnt control the pass, exhibited no skill whatsoever, fell over then when to confront the ref with gloves on while all that went on. he isn't like, he'll be a starter ie Cabayes replacement. Nah we are looking at others for that. Might turn out to be a semi purple in another position(s) though.

Agreed watched him pass the ball out from the back a couple of times in his early days under no pressure straight to the opposition and then put in some acceptable performances before ending up being shit scared of the ball at home games. Finally ended when he decided to take out Nasri and then take up rugby tackling instead of defending in football terms. Good player but can't put his demons to bed playing in front of 50k at the mo. Williamson was in this bracket but ended up being bestish in the defence after a while of settling in. Maybe another year will help as it seems to help other players at our club sort it out. Saylor is a joke btw should be sold by his backing off comments in the press lately i.e. gone from demanding new contracts to being "made available" and then being happy as larry here. He should take the hint as thue club will sell him in a second if the right offer comes in IMO and he knows it. Rather keep Mbiwa though any day of the week.

Perhaps... http://s3.amazonaws.com/barkpost-assets/50+GIFs/17.gif

Jordan Rhodes has had another good season. Definitely worth a punt IMO.

Anyone else notice he was trying to pass opposition players on to team mates instead of tracking back and defending. Two deffo in the first half, one which I think led to a really good chance for Villa.

Think you had him mixed up with Cisse until the last sentence.

Leave what you said out there man otherwise you`ll end up in endless circles of arguments. Oh wait...

You alter your own posts though after making them, then accuse people of doing what you are doing
