As long as his teams never take any points off us, delighted for him.

Or he doesn't need to comment on every player/rumour? Never more than a rumour was it? Douglas has stated that Jonas is not on the list and the player want's to stay. Of course that means nothing if an offer comes in that exceeds his worth to us, but that goes for any player at any club (whether or not a manager has said previously that he'd want to keep them).

I can. Phew. Is it getting hot in here?

This won't end well if we get him. Not the striker we should be going for,we need someone who can come in and do it now, not in 2 or 3 seasons time.It's an ambitious move but the sort of move clubs like Spurs would do and can bring him on slowly,he won't get that chance with us. He may well go on and do the business but for me it's a massive,massive gamble. Would be suprised if you got him anyway tbh, your bid will make other clubs come in for him. aye supposedly Liverpool are interested (then again young english and overpriced of coarse they're interested) and I imagine this will just get them to move for him. Would be delighted if we were in for him. Even if we loaned him out for the season, it would show some intent to continue bringing in the brightest British prospects from the lower leagues like Taylor. Looks quite the prospect from the little I've seen of him.

"He's a great lad and we were all gutted to see him leave Newcastle but it was a no-brainer, really. He had to go and test himself at a fantastic football club with great tradition" Aye cos we have none of that, especilly for a local number nine. I like Joey, but he can piss off with platitudes like that for those fucks.

Kiss of death.

Interview with him on nufctv this afternoon. http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20110622/sylvain-speaks_2281670_2380305?

I see, we're talking about slightly different things here, all my original post was saying that that in my opinion out the whole squad only those 3 were unsellable, or rather should be unsellable. For what its worth, I actually agree that everyone is sellable as things stand at this club. As things have always stood at this club.

Tell you what. I think it might be easier if you just reel off the positives about Birmingham tbh.

Might be a bit Giggs here, but just watched a nice little interview with Graham and Alan Carr on nufctv. Think it's the first time I've seen the bloke.

Don't doubt his leg's fine, just hope his head is. I certainly won't be feeling that great anytime I see some lumbering meathead baring down on the lad.

FYP Christ, forgot Lovenkrands. I'll let him off Smith, he's reserved for West Ham or Leeds at a push, fingers crossed. Anyway, good luck Chris. Hope you get enough time to prove whatever you might be capable of this time.

A collective sharp intake of breath (followed by a sustained period of holding said breath in)?

Buy Best, Routledge, and Perch off of us and I'll be delighted. Fkn Birmingham City though?

http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/pardew Mon Dieu! Make a cup of tea and put a record on. Have a tete a tete, or a deja vu. Have no regrets, or a rendezvous. Or a ménage à trois. Or a soirée. Or diner à deux... Alain Depardieu! Sounds suspiciously like a Flannigan and Alan Mulligan & O'hare track.

Smith's no quitter. Unlike Nolan, he'll have a realistic first team role with us this year.

Would prefer to spend big on both. I want him. We need him. I will be shaking with rage if this doesn't happen!

I hear that it's just that much harder to break a Spaniard now that waterboarding seems to be frowned upon.

Oh ffs. Well played Nathan.

Would be surprised if we were ever seriously in for him. Would be absolutely stunned if we are now that we have Sylvain.

July is when we start selling. Welcome Sylvain! All the luck in the world to you.

We'd have no doors left if he was 3rd choice.

My new favorite, pushing Pear and Dean into a respectable second. Well played.
