Like a Wes Brown or a Crouch? Aye, exactly like that. For fucks sake man just because I'd like someone a bit more proven it doesn't mean they have to be old and average. Has this lad ever found the net on a regular basis? Name someone realistic then. The only experienced strikers on the radar seem to be the likes of Crouch and Pav who as you say, don't excite. /we have a proven striker in Ba.

Bollocks! Bollocks?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Doesn't even feel like he plays for us anymore it's been so long. :-[ I will be beyond happy if he ever gets a good run of games for us.

he hasn't actually said he'll be definately playing though. looking forward to Arsenal sat, ill be playing That's not exactly confirmation that he actually will be playing, considering he's having a go at journos who sit behind their desks and pass judgement all day. Reads to me that maybe he's been told that he'll be involved somehow. What other activities constitute 'playing'? You know what I mean. I think he was using it to make his dig at the journos. Not neccessarily meaning that he definitely will be playing. Fair enough. I'd be enourmously surprised if he had any chance of actually playing all things considered.

We're way past E already to be fair.

Glad to see that Pardew disagrees with you. It may be tough to break into the top 4, but refering to Enrique he said - “Unless we can become more competitive, finish in the top eight in the Premier League and, eventually, qualify for Europe, this will keep on happening. “It is extremely hard to keep hold of your best players without that status. “In the next two or three years we have to get back into that sort of position and then we can keep the best players and attract even better ones. “That is the challenge we have ahead of us. I don’t want to be in a position as manager where this keeps happening year after year – so we have to progress, and we have to improve."

Lost Carroll, but got Ben Arfa for a not inconsiderable £7m. Then got shot of Nolan and Routledge, and replaced them with Cabaye, Marv, Ba, and by the look of it Obertan (Abeid I don't think is fair to class as a first team signing yet). Look, there is no doubt we need more, a fucking decent striker for a start as you say, but the point was that we are not showing the ambition to compete with the likes of Everton, Villa etc. I would (again with the caveat, as it stands) disagree with that.

Looks to me like that is exactly what we're doing. Do you think any one of those clubs has done better business than us this summer as it stands? Villa probably have. Have the other two done any business? 11 players out (2 in) including their 2 wingers, of which they have replaced only one. How have villa done better exactly?

Sounds familiar.

Absolutely agree. And I don't understand why the club don't seem to have any comprehension of the damage they are slowly doing to the club. They need to keep the people of this city interested in NUFC because if not, we are not Man Utd or Liverpool who can fall back on the overseas markets and tourists to keep us going. Spot on.

We may have the third best supported team (attendance wise) but where do we come in terms of actual premiership gate receipts?

Fat but as mobile as feck, cept when my tea is meant to be ready, lazy moose. P.S, if you never see me post again its because she has read this and crushed my head in her Pat Jennings sized hands.

Fair enough.

Nailed on.

Until such times we wipe our nose, pull in a profit, or after 3 years Ashley finally gets some co-investors on board. Which is fair enough. Co-Investors? The guy has no mates other than the brown noses he employs Who the hell is going to take on the shit storm he has created Indeed. As I said, it's 3 years since he asked for some.

We're playing hardball.
