Dyer is basically leaving Newcastle to join Newcastle. Bowyer, Parker, Bellamy, error prone defence, laughing stock club, chairman who loves the media attention and overinflates everything.

Although I buy that, I have a different take on things after all we always sign the midfielders/strikers we want. I reckon our joke defence actually puts off defensive signings - joining could easily make a player part of a joke defence, destroying his career. Thus to get better defenders, we may need to first show in this forthcoming season that we are better defensively.

Jol, realistically, how many league games will Taarabt get this season? He's been prominent in pre-season, but will that translate to competitive games?

And it seems to me, that he lived his life, like a candle in the wind, and he even got injured, more times than he bought bling.

He's coming back! http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~riks/fumaca1.jpg

Laporta said today that he's still an important player and not for sale.

Kieron Dyer is ten times the player Smith is. However, I reckon Dyer will fail at West Ham - bad career move.

It's Matty Patisson.

Wassup Dave? EDIT: aah.

Usual first teamers Martins, Geremi, N'Zogbia will all be substituted I reckon.

I wasn't on watch and its too late now.

Something like that. Someone on here came on saying that he was this guys friend and business partner, and that the guy hadn't spoken to Oliver for months.

source ? He's Manchester United ITK

Guiseppe Rossi? yep. Ridiculous comment in that case then. Rossi couldn't get a game here last season when we had hardly any strikers, how exactly would he contribute at all now that we have Viduka, Owen, Shola and possibly Luque in the fold? Not to mention Carroll if he isn't loaned out. Smith can play a few positions and will get plenty of games so he's a worthwhile, if underwhelming, signing. Signing Rossi would have been pointless in the extreme. Rossi prefers attacking midfield to up front, and can play on the left. He prefers to play off the front man. When has he ever played out on the left? For us versus Chelsea. Did well. Did well as in he looked out of place but worked hard? Saying he can play left wing is like saying Ameobi can play there tbh, it should be a last resort only. Was the only player to get in good attacking positions, and didn't give the ball up too easily.

Can't see Rossi as a useful out and out winger either, as he's horribly slow. Soft as fudge as well tbh, would get murdered in CM. Could you really see Rossi getting a kick for us next season? More so than Smith if I'm honest with you. I wouldn't get either, but I'd definitely prefer Rossi of the two.

Thats the BBC for you, taking a story off the net if they've jumped the gun.

I'm a bit confused by the double negative in what you said there. Did he say that Smith isn't coming? Or did he say wait and see?

Guiseppe Rossi? yep.

Sevilla are a good team, so hopefully some good players play for them, and hopefully one of these good players is him. Unless he goes to citeh, in which case, hope he's shit

Villareal have signed Rossi for an undisclosed fee. I would have definitely preferred Rossi.

Another DLC. Sam clearly wants a defender who can play both in the left and the centre. Move to 3-5-2?
