Straight red within 5 minutes banned for another 3 games! Can't wait to have him back! Shame Barfa and Ireland are coming back too.

Toothless Other than Enrique costing us three points, we looked ok until the final third, absolutely nothing upfront and little creative behind. Frustrating.

Williamson caught ball watching again.

Good god, Harper takes 20mins to release the ball. Barton is going to knock him out if he does it again.

Finished. Not a fucking chance of scoring.

Newcastle only, would possibly change if any Newcastle were players were in the squad!

Yet again nice to see they would rather come out and make stupid comments to other people when they should be addressing the fans. For the love of Mort, bring him back please.

Helps having players that give a shit tbh and for the most have been fit. Bar Carrolls departure I think I am the happiest I have been with having faith in players than I have been in years. We have a new breed of heroes then we have Alan Smith.

Crackin, come on!

Is he playing on the left or the right?

Can't we bring him back as tea lady or summat? I am pretty sure he would do it.

Probably wise to change things a little more slowly than that. Depends how quickly we can get deals done. I'm sure alot of my outgoings list wont happen ie Raylor, Smith and Best. It will be a long summer and Pardew had already spoken of completely rebuilding then to make the team his. I would say 5-7 in is certainly dramatic but realistic imo. We did it before with Big Sam.. look how that turned out! Ok point taken. Two strikers will take up the majority of the money and are the most important. Wingers and Full Back cover close behind.

Need 7 players this summer minimum. 2 wingers (1 for each side, maybe winger cum striker) 2 quality strikers 1 DM cover for Tiote. Wouldnt taking a punt on Samba if we can get him, kill two birds with one stone (replacing Campbell) 2 Fullbacks We will either buy Ireland or someone similar for the centre if his loan signing is anything to go by. Will be tough to keep that under 40m . Selling Xisco, Smith, Perch, Routledge, Raylor, Lovenkrands, Campbell and Best will probably not even give us 5m either. They all need shifting though. Probably see some of the bairns leave like Lua Lua, Donaldson, Tozer and Grieve. It will be interesting to see if the former gets any games when he recovers from his ankle injury. He is still young but should be breaking unto the scene if we are going to keep him.

We are playing a pretty inexperienced team tbf. Still 4-0 down to 10 men is a little scary.

So is he injured then? or might he figure on the bench on Weds?

Ship out - Best, Lovenkrands, Smith, Xisco, Raylor, Perch, Routledge What we need - 2x Class Strikers 2x Winger Cum Striker 1x DM (Tiote understudy) 1x RB to push Simmo 1x LB (backup for enrique) Little depressing 7 out 7 in when our squad is already weak.

yarp.

We obviously wanted him to stay and were holding out for a higher bid. Carroll's agent threw the toys out of the pram, because we were putting his big pay day in jeopardy. Carroll obviously had most of this set up well in advance of today. 15minutes to agree personal terms? really? I agree with selling at the price to be honest, I am sure we had a price in mind to sell him for aswell. Its totally unacceptable this should all transpire when we have no time to get a replacement. On the flip side we should have known it was an outside possibility and should have been looking to bring in another striker regardless.

Thats it, I'm posting spoilers, if I can't be happy no one can!

cud be the most expensive 35 million ever, if it goes tits up. One night out on the lash with Stevie G will do it.

Can we delete this thread and pretend the whole thing never happened?

We are still putting together another bid.

Looks clearly gutted. As if he didnt know anything about this until today.

Apparently rumours said we did and got knocked back.

sod it, lets go the whole hog and spunk 30m on him.
