James

Two clubs per season is allowed. We couldn't sell him on until next season.

Karen Brady said he was joining us in her column this morning.

I'd leave it open until 31st January, and close it after that until at reopens at the end of the season.

Repeat ad infinitum

SSN said Zayatte is off.

He's good on youtube, but that's youtube, and he plays in a division worse than the Dutch and Scottish leagues.

AMC playmaker.

It is possible that we gave Valencia the money, but they can only loan him to us this season due to the two clubs per season rule.

Makes you wonder why they bothered to sign him then... ... they have just signed him right? I'm not missing something am i? He signed for Valencia today. It is thought that Valencia owned half his economic rights, as is the practice at Spanish clubs atmo, but exercised their option to buy him outright in the attempt to get more money from him in the future.

Read the above post.

The question I'm asking is not what you expect us to do with the players we've got, but your expectations of the club full stop.

As we saw last season, coming 12th is avoiding relegation.

For me, top half plus entertainment is a minimum, but I can't see why we can't challenge for a UEFA Cup spot, or even get a run at 5th place if luck runs in our favour.

I think the reason for so many differing opinions regarding who we need to sign is down to people holding different expectations as to what the club should be aiming to do for this season. While the transfer window remains open, what were your expectations for this season, and why?

Tsunami, genuine questions: What do you think is needed to save our season? And what do you think is a 'saved season', top 4, top 6, Europe, what?

That's it in a nutshell. No it isn't, pretty fucking far off even. He's said countless times he would be very disappointed if there were no new signings of the required quality. He wants the best for the club he supports, as we all do. He just expresses his concerns whereas others are willing to have blind faith in Keegan's magic and Ashley's intentions for us to challenge the top 4. I respect both stances, but the realistic part in me says that we have so far failed to strengthen to the extend that we needed to and I seriously doubt that they will be able to complete the transfers on the very last day of the transfer window where they have apparently failed to do so in a number of cases up until this point. Perhaps some people just need to accept that challenging the top 4 was not an option for this season.

I bet he was only on £80k in the first place, hence the increase wasn't that difficult.

He's a classic confused Newcastle player. The question marks round his name clearly demonstrate uncertainty over his own ability and his commitment to the club. The rest is regarding his past, he's telling the fans he can't guarantee he'll stay on the straight and narrow which in turn could start a dressing room revolt. Those aren't question marks, they are stars, obviously you don't have the particular font on your PC.

Easier said than done.

Where are you getting all this Valencia stuff from? The original news story. He is signing for Valencia, where he has already had a medical, and they are loaning him to us.

Doubt we'll complete any signings, but you'd expect to hear some twitter, especially abroad. Plus Gonzalez has to sign for Valencia today.

After knocking seven bells at that guy, he later proceeded to knock the teeth out of a 16 year old who just happenned to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I certainly haven't done either, and I haven't been in a fight since I left school. Don't tar the majority with the actions of the minority. I won't boo, but Barton has to move mountains to fully regain my support.

They can't sign off us, but we can sign off them.

He needs to sign for Valencia by tonight first!
