Lots of Yorkshire bitter in this thread. Good luck sonna.

Six pack on this motherfucker!

Striker/forward. Ah, gotcha.

Season Ticket? /Stifler, always blaming the fans.

What makes you say Ashley expects more than 10th? He wanted 8th+ the season before last. Last season he wanted at least 10th after Pardew f***ed up (the excuse being no investment), and getting the bare minimum probably saved the fecker from a sacking despite the dismal second half. Reckon the target will now be back to 8th minimum, and if we get the players in, there'll be less excuses for the manager now. From all the information I've read pardew was under no pressure at all last season Despite that awful run. He made the target they set. Not sure how we played good or bad factors into it in any way. If he fails in the same way as the post 5th season, and can't make any excuses, he'll be gone imho.

Probably the same as Janmatt. Just a day trip. Be down the Bigg Market later before heading back to Monaco.

Lee Charnley.

Not Janmatt, but cute. Make a nice couple.

If we loan out those lads again, with the possible exception of Good, we might as well forget about them.

Ok.

But Nicollin, who adopted an uncompromising stance in January, was less than impressed with Cabella's decision to head for Tyneside. He told Foot Mercato: "He wanted to go. I wasn't happy, but I told him, 'Congratulations'. "In England, there is Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, which are above Newcastle, but Newcastle is a club with a lot of French. He likes them, so great. "Personally, I would not go to Newcastle. But hey, I'll see him when he plays against a club in London! "He has what he wants, fine, we'll see. But in any case, he has the ability to succeed in England, that's for sure. "He is frail, but he's hard to catch." "It was not the 15 million euros, but it is not far." A different interpretation. Still, Nicollin is a massive arse.

Not all of them to be fair. http://www.themag.co.uk/the-mag-articles/monaco-fans-saying-emmanuel-riviere-newcastle-transfer/?

Not really, having a partner that fits with you're strengths and weaknesses are is always important. Regardless if you're Alessandro Nesta or Steven Taylor. Not sure what Taylor needs alongside him. Someone who's managed to acquire an O-level is my guess.

Maybe being contrary for the sake of it because I really like Mapou, but surely a good centre back should be able to play alongside most people and still excel. Technically he's great, his recovery is great, but he has a problem if he can only function alongside a certain type of player in the Premiership.

That's the downside to getting a replacement in early. This club!

Feckers getting my hopes up.

Wait, what. Happy if I can see it, but Google just gives me the godawful news page on the SD site and guessing it's not there?

Is Ryder trying to imply something there by putting "delayed" in single quotes? The git, I'm all worried now.

Man, I hope that you do. Would indicate an awesome summer indeed.

Does seem low when GFNF were saying Nicollin wanted €18m inc bonuses. Most seem pretty sure it is £12m. Still struggle to imagine what these bonuses would be. Clearly not success based considering our aversion to the concept, and if they are appearance based, we'll just pull a Gutiérrez (allegedly).

They seem more than capable of patting their own backs as Pardew cringingly demonstrated today, though in this instance popping out and picking up the Dutch right back seems more than adequate tbh. It is adequate and should be treated as such. After all we have been conditioned not to expect any signing even after selling our players. I don't think anyone should be expected to jump in joy cos we would have a decent replacement for one of our best players though. Exactly right. Expectations are now so pitifully low that there's excitement over merely replacing a proven quality player with one that may not be as good. And at the very least will probably take several months to adjust to the league in exactly the same way as Debuchy did. The only ones with pitifully low expectations are those who said that the asset stripping would finally kick in this summer, and we were incapable of such a seemingly professional switch as this. Bring in another world cup right back before the last one has left the building? Not under this regime! No one expects anyone to get warm feelings over Colback, or forget that Debuchy is going and maybe Mbiwa is soon to follow, but surely we're allowed a bit of a spring in our step after the last three signings?
