Source? Don't just change the thread title and not tell anyone. Chronicle. Was in the other thread.

We've been ripped off.

Why on EARTH would we ever wait so long to try to do these sort of deals (whether they are half-decent players or not is another matter). What is wrong with January 1st or January 2nd? (rather than February 1st or February 2nd) The same reason it happens for everyone. It's the way the market works.

Surely he would have been included in the Shay Given deal no? Actually saying that if they're valuing him at £6-8 million then he's worth as much as the most consistent Premiership keeper of the last 10 years.............. Man city had to sign Given yesterday to qualify him for UEFA Cup, so any swap would have had to have been put to one side as such deals take longer to complete.

Do not misunderestimate the joke in here.

Dacourt to Fulham.

He's being paid in bacon butties.

I think the club has a policy of not announcing youth team signings.

Like I said, they've probably invited him there to put him out of the way while players discuss terms in the stadium.

Ashley, Llambias and the Communications guy have let SSN base themselves in the training ground Which means that the players are now touring the stadium. Suckers.

Quaresma and Jenas straight swap apparently.

Johnson is six times better than any of our other midfielders.

Only worry would be matching his injury record with our injury record and his alleged problems. That aside though, he is by far and away the best under 21 Briton.

Jonas couldn't cross yesterday cause he was on the left wing he kept having to double back. He needs to be on the right wing. He's a much better dribbler on the left, he becomes ineffective on the right.

Nah i reckon the yellow ticker will say "newcastle sign 2 snowmen" Can't see either passing a medical due to being prone to melting

Probably just his own way of trying to reassure the fans.

The Newcastle manager tries to sign Hyypia every January. Nice correlation at how Hyypia becomes slightly worse, but Newcastle are still getting worse enough to want him.

Not something that's gonna happen with Kinnear. Ashley will need to tell that he's not getting a new goalkeeper, and Harper would have to crock himself before Krul jumps off to PSV or similar.

Did you miss the close finishes in the Premiership and the 2 lost cup finals, 3 lost cup semi-finals, numerous quarter-finals and losing to the hicks a few times. Players come and go. He's gone. Thanks for 11 years and now you're a Citeh player and i hope you lose all your games (apart from when i suits us that you win). We were there though, those defeats were disappointing, but you always felt that we'd be back the next season. I'd been off Given for a couple of years, but he was nearing his world class best once more, and there is no coming back from this one. Doom approaches.

NUSC should put this up on their website where the press will be watching.

The sight of Given in another team's shirt has got to be one of the biggest lows since I've been following NUFC. Up there with the departures of KKx2 and Robson.

Are you a lovechild of Martin Jol and Parky?

Officially the end of an era then.

If the worst happens, I'll be pleased to know we've got him around next season. I'd say he is the quality you'd expect for a yo-yo player.
