Hope this is true like.... It is the Express. Voicemouth for the anonymous NUFC 'Club Official' Going to happen in my opinion.

Freddy Shepherd has said he wants to buy the club back.

Our best right sided option involves BenArfa and Marveaux on the wings swapping.

Barton is being how he is being because of mismanagement, in particular because Llambias interferes in management of players when he has no people skills. However Barton's behaviour is now unreasonable regardless of what is true and false and regardless of how he is handled. Perhaps people should be using twitter to bring him back down to Earth #shutupjoeybarton

You only have to see the tweets about Cabaye to realise that Barton didn't respect certain players.

I've not read the last ten or so pages. Where is that being suggested? Local press. Started end of last season apparently including a fight with another senior player. Depends on whether you believe it but there is evidence about Cabaye on Barton's Twitter.

If Barton had been bullying younger players and Cabaye then he had to go. All depends on whether that is true though. Although some may remember Barton having a dig at Cabaye for the crime of signing for the club, and you got the impression Cabaye had his card marked from day one.

I'd say Llambias is worse personally.

What if every single player handed a transfer request in tomorrow morning. Surely that would make those up top realise that things can't stay as they are.

Sewelly. You are every rude word ever created in the history of the universe.

A good preseason would have been really beneficial to his form and fitness for next season, but he hasn't had one.

You're more concerned about a few meaningless friendlies than us barely touching a penny of the Carroll cash? More the injuries, and the fact that certain players aren't getting a good preseason which will have a knock on effect on their season. Remember how Barton considered a good pre season as key to his form last season.

I am more bothered about the club's inability to keep star players happy and the terrible preseason we are having than the club's transfer policy which in my opinion is entirely reasonable.

Trouble is however that apart from the striker, who we intend to sign, we have a large squad that takes us to the limit of what is allowed under league rules, we can't get rid of the turboshit players,and we won't allow a player to be paid a weekly wage yet unregistered to play for us.

Doubt he would fly with a broken bone, so we can rule out a fracture. However muscle damage could still be severe. Must remember that such a long period out with such an injury can weaken muscles and make a player more susceptible.

Given the discovery that the Carroll money can not be included on the accounts submitted to UEFA to be allowed into Europe (therefore meaning that spending the £35m incurs a loss that could see us banned from Europe) does this make the decision to sell Carroll even worse? Llambias should be sacked for that amongst many other things.

Wouldn't say Zog would choose Villa over Sunderland because of the city. Zog would live in Newcastle.

There are really several truths that people seem unwilling to comprehend: 1) There is a limit to the number of players allowed in the squad. We are close to that limit, the inevitable new striker will be the last before we fill up. 2) The board will not sanction high earners being ineligible to play for us in the league. Therefore we soon have to sell to buy, and the final player is worth waiting for. 3) Interest in players outside of the 25 is low. If we don't want them, why should someone else? Those who might leave are on low wages, leaving a vacancy for a similar squad replacement. 4) We are trying to sign a striker. 5) We signed what the football experts at the club see as a suitable alternative to Charles N'Zogbia 6) Players always cost much more than the quoted wage and transfer fee, for example loyalty payments, plus of course signing on fees and agents fees. 7) The Carroll money does not count with regard to the new UEFA entry rules. Spend all the Carroll money at once, then expecting more in future windows and we can seriously jeopardise our prospects of getting into Europe in the future. 8) We aren't that bad and have already improved the side.

It is simple. Marveaux decides to go to Liverpool. We go for N'Zogbia instead. Marveaux changes his mind, we sign Marveaux, end our interest in N'Zogbia.

I was wondering whether because of the timing of the Carroll sale and the new financial rules whether we are actually allowed to spend the money?

We go for Marveaux. Marveaux chooses to sign for Liverpool. We go for N'Zogbia, wait a bit because the price is exorbitant (£3m extra for not being in Europe). Marveaux decides he wants to sign for us instead. We sign Marveaux. No more interest in N'Zogbia.

We can afford to spend money, but do we need to? We remain committed to signing another striker. Once we've got him, that is it, we have signed all the players that we can probably afford to sustain over five years, plus the PL won't let us play any more than that. This is why so many players have been told they can leave, or Pardew is willing to sell Nolan, selling improves our buying opportunities. I expect a good player to come in should we offload Smith, but no-one will match his wages.

I think we can better than him.

Just belatedly turned away from him on the calendar (June Guthrie, July Routledge) He has a massive cock.
