Fuking idiot commentator banging on about Roma not using their extra man and not taking their chance. Scholes was sent off only 4mins ago! Fuking plum, even Mr Gray had to have a word with the retard.

No he said he'd not be signing ANYONE over 25. His words, not mine. I'd like to see the quote to back up what you have said. I know he said he'd focus on people under under 25 but I don't think he said he wouldn't sign anyone over 25. http://www.football.co.uk/newcastle_united/roeder_eyes_young_recruits_241927.shtml "We will be looking at a lot of players between now and the start of next season and they will be young players aged 25 and under. "I do not want to bring in big names who are past their shelf-life, but players who have their best days in front of them." The thread i remember it from: http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=36428.0 He does not say there he does not want anyone over 25. He says he will be looking at players aged 25 and under and doesn't want big names who are past their shelf life. Says nothing about not buying ANYONE over 25. Jesus Christ you go on like me ex-lass, and tbh, if you knew what she is like, then i'd be banned for over a month from here due to insulting a forum member so badly. Its blatantly obvious what he means, try and twist it however you like but he's banging on that the palyers he is looking at are 25 and under, and nothing above will do.

mackems.gif mackems.gif mackems.gif PS. Some fat old Turk who can't be judged without a trial won't be the answer to our left back problems. Considering his contract expires in the summer, meaning he's no good to us now.

Under 25 GR, remember?

I agree with the first sentence. However, my guess is that, if Roeder stays, he'll do even worse next season. That would leave NUFC in search for a new manager im mid-season, before Shearer's time. Not lovely, but likely prospect. Is Shearer even taking his badges? From what i've heard his not even thinking about management right now.

Good set of free players there. If Nesta is on a free, we should pay the earth in wages to bring him here.

Shorey signed a new deal in Oct/Nov time.

Do you mean was he a bosman from us to Man City? he was just on lan to us from PSG no he means does his contract still run out at the end of the season, i think the answer is yes btw. Ben Haim hasn't signed for anyone either.

Argh! I think Emre would do a better defensive job, especially needed to protect Edgar. Also with no target man we might as well not be crossing at all, so passing would be more effective, and Emre is again better than Zoggy & Duff in that area as well. Not his strongest position i know, but needs must.

Who would you play/drop? (sorry if there is a thread for this) --------------Given------------ Nobby--Taylor--Gooch--Edgar Milner---Butt--Parker--Emre ----------Dyer----------------- -----------------Martins--------- I'd play Gooch & Taylor at the back to give some height & strength against a rough and ready team, same with the central pairing of Parker & Butt, Nobby restored to RB as he's the only player capable, and i'd try Edgar again at LB, deserves another shot imo. Milner on the right to link up with Nobby again as it works, and Emre on the left as he'll track back and help out Edgar no ends, also might as well have him as we have no targetman to aim for, and he maybe able to put some decent balls into Martins from there. Martins upfront with Dyer to knacker them on the counter, and keep them pinned back as they will be frightened of the pace both posses.

"my information is that as long as United are playing Premiership football next season, the board of directors at St James' Park have no intention of changing their manager." Fuk me the ambitions of this club are superb.

Correctamundo.... Fix the head and the body will take care of itself. We all know that Shepherd and Roeder will remain here next season so we have to accept the fact that Roeder will spend the money in the summer We don't know that. We have to pray to any God you can find that Roeder is not here. That man should be allowed to spend NOTHING. Not a penny. In fact, we should be billing HIM for fucking us up. He hasn't really fuked us up with his buying though. Souness you can blame for that, and even SBR, they wasted more money than anyone in my lifetime, GR has been ok in the transfer market, just crap at everything else. If he is in charge and buying, we'll be getting sensible players in imo, although i would like a new manager buying his own team from the start, not playing with someone elses after they've been sacked just after the window has closed. Roeder has been awful. Martins, fair enough, but he's paid £10m for a player with potential, when we need someone who has already realised theirs. He wasted £5m on a player we didn't need. He brought in Bernard AFTER the window closed, and has never played him. And he brought in Gooch, who is not good. He shoudl never be allowed to buy anyone again, although bearing in mind he shouldn't be allowed to manage a club again, thats a given. Can't argue with that Gooch could of easily worked, if he went to another EPL team it probably would of worked for him, same thing with Duff, even though i agree we didn't need him, at £5m i thought it was the signing of the season, and so did most. Martins was a gamble, imo its paid off, he's worth a lot more now than when we bought him, especially if Chelsea are sniffing. If we put Duff up for sale in the summer there is no way we wouldn't get our money back, i think we might even make a profit on the transfer fee, but taking into account wages we'll probably break even. And we'll have failed to buy the left back, centre back and striker we've needed since day 1 - and whom Roeder has utterly failed to get. Is it his fault or the man upstairs? Don't forget GR just hands over a list and FS is the one who goes out to buy. GR has very little say in the final decision on where to spend the cash imo. We all know GR is in a job as FS can control him without much squealing. If you're defending his transfers with Martins, you have to kick him for the utter lack of defenders that we needed more than anything. He's the manager, its his responsibility. My take on how it went this summer between GR & FS: GR "Well i think we need some defenders" FS "Do you?" "Yes, that area needs more bodies" "That's nice" "So would you like to see who i think we should buy?" "No, not really" "But we need them!" "What about the strikers you were looking at, don't you want them?" "Well yes, but defense is also a priority" "Hmmm, this Martins fella, £10m, big price, what about him?" "Well yes that would be great but we need to strengthen in other places as well" "£10m striker, from abroad, should get me back on side with the fans" "It might, but there are other issues..." "Hush, my mind is made up, striker it is, i'll be popular again, everyone likes a goalscorer, everyone likes the man to bring a goalscorer" "Ok, What about if we get a cheaper goalscorer and some defenders?" "No money is for forward, you'll have to sell to buy" "But i did, i sold Boumsong, can i have that money then? "No, we lost money on him, you need to sell more" "But there isn't anyone else" "Well, look for freebies, there are plenty, that Sol was free, why didn't you get him?" "He was on the list, but you wouldn't pay his wages" "Old bastard demanding £80kpw, no chance" "Ok then, so now i've got no more money to spend?" "Yes, that's right, and by the way, i bought Duff, snip at £5m, big name cheap price, i am legend" "Is that it then?" "Yes, so goodbye, don't bother me again until after the window has closed"

We'd get our £5m back for Duff from the Spuds any day of the week, maybe more if to be believed. Bernard will cost the club £200,000 (£4kpw) to find out he was crocked, a month's wages for Luque, or two weeks for Owen. Martins has doubled in price as well.

Don't know how anyone can hate David Batty? Bowyer - utter cunt Dyer - overpaid selfish bigheaded cunt Babayaro - Total prick, only plays when it suits him

They come in a smaller size? Congrats to Parker & Family!

For £1m, yeah i'd take him, but i doubt he'd come here, Italy would be a good place for him to go. Never really got him as a player though, rightfully being kept out of the Arsenal team imo, but would be a welcome addition here for that price.

Only if he really wanted the job. But with Mclaren looking shaky he might be holding out for the England nod again, propbably would be offered it this time as well, basically for England there is no other option English wise. Would love to see Sammy Lee here as well, the guy breathes passion and loves his football.

I think it would. We've grown up a lot since the KK days, we understand its not all about flashy brilliance and scoring as many goals as possible. Some if not most would be happy with well thought out team performances, and coming away with the odd goal and a clean sheet, meaning winning games, i know i would. The added flair and entertaining football would be the icing, but right now some plain cake would be nice. I hate to say this, but true pre-KK supporters already knew that. Lumping long balls forward with clueless centre forwards chasing it was pretty much the order of the day for quite a long time, apart from the odd blip when we weren't fighting relegation. But I'm sure you know this - especially playing in europe which was a pretty reasonable "icing on the cake". Here comes Lisa with her bile. Valid comment. YOU may have "grown up", but some of us already had done so, which flies in the face of your claim that you yourself are a "pre-1992" fan. I've no wish really to harp on about it, and wouldn't need to if people like you told the truth or found a proper perspective. Never mind, I found the comment fantastically amusing and ironic, which is why I replied. Edit: Cant find a logical reason to respond to you anymore.

Beardsley Shearer Ginola Imaging having them three in their prime right now.
