Sad he is the only person at any level at the club willing to come out and try and tell the fans whats going on. Whilst the time is probably fast approaching that fans will be turning on him when we are losing games, I would find it hard to abuse him, knowing the fact he was never good enough to begin with is hardly his fault. Everyone here would have done the same. Roeder #2.

Bloody Kinnear! At least it looks a bit more repectable than the 4m bid we tried yesterday, wonder if it will be 6m tmrw...

Lucas Neill. Ugg I dont think there is one player that sums up the word mercenary more, he is overated to the hilt aswell.

Signed sealed delivered hes theirs. just as well too, with his delivery he would have ended up back in cameroon.

Joe clutching at straws tbh. so did those two midfield loans exist? how long does kinnear have left, when we get thumped by blackburn on saturday his tenure might become unbearable.

The quotes were on .com first aswell.

Have a hug. Llambias is the source of all the trouble. Whilst Ashley should be getting more involved, its the gimp he has sitting in the chairman seat that should be running things and sorting things out. Ashley is at fault for appointing him and failing to sack him as he is sitting at home whilst everything is falling down around him, but I dont blame him entirely for everything thats happening (or not happening more likely).

Going to be a huge anti climax when eventually he does score and the commentators are creaming themselves saying "here comes the mask", when he doesnt get one out. Seriously they were banging on about it in the West Ham game, he has said it wont come out again, it was a one off thing and he isnt actually allowed to do it.

What did Kinnear say about Appiah? Oh and the spurs itk reporting that Appiah has rejected our 6 month contract offer and is looking for a longer deal. 1878 i think we asked for Baines or Lescott tbh. With Bale apparantly being loaned out, i guess lb is a priority (redknapp has said before that we're short on left backs). Said we were going to take him on trial here, but you nipped in ahead of us. Or something similar. Just the usual, Kinnears passes his transfer wish list to Wise who smiles politely before shredding it when Kinnear is out of the room.

Did Spuds actually sign Appiah yet? Saw Kinnear was lamenting the fact they got in before us.

Ferrari sounds like a good bet. We were linked in the summer aswell. Saviola is possible if we are thinking of putting him as an attacking Midfielder. Seems a strange one for upfront though, with Owen, Martins and potentially Lovenkrands all the pacy striker type. Wouldnt complain though. Still need a LB though. Ferrari, Meireles, saviola, lovenkrands and Riise/shorey would be decent enough, given the options this time of year.

Given Edgar Colo Bassong N'Zog Geremi Guthrie Butt Jonas Duff Owen Is how I reckon we will line up. Would rather see this. Given Geremi Colo Bassong N'Zog Duff Guthrie Butt Jonas Xisco Owen And that was very painfull having to type Butts name in there. Wouldnt be opposed to switching Butt and Nzog and giving Kadar a run out though, has always looked the part in the reserves.

Surely got to start tmrw night? Carrol, Enrique and Taylor out. If he manages to jig the team round and Duff is partnering owen I might just lose it.

Burdisso makes the most sense as he can cover the centre aswell. Sorin might be most likely given the level and age we have been looking at. Thank christ we arent interested in Quashie, think it was a ploy to show the getting Ferguson isnt the worst route possible, albeit close.

Shame to see him go, he could still be a fantastic player, but I dont want anyone at the club that doesnt want to be here and turn things around. He will be missed as much as Milner is. I do wish someone should muzzle him and his agent though, it embarrassing for everyone, and each time he makes these desperate pleas the clubs that actually do want him are going to bid lower for him.

Agree, think Burdisso is a shoe in, which would be fantastic. That said we will probably end up with someone much less flattering. The Italian though ... I have no idea, but I'm hoping it's a midfielder. Aye.

Looks like the club has paid Vital Football to big him up! http://www.newcastle.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=139019 IF he is up to it, deal from now to the end of the season is more than acceptable.

Whilst there has been alot of pap linked so far i would be more than happy to take all of these guys linked - onouha, burdisso, riise, mendes, johnson, bentley, Meireles, jo (On loan)

Nigel Quashie, I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Rather have smith, thats only because ive almost forgotten how shit he is.

True, but a little over dramatic. Elano or Jo would come here in a shot imo. I think its more about our top brass wanting to steer clear of the players than them being out of our league. The reason Elano isnt going anywhere is because of his reputation of being a tantrum throwing trouble maker. Jo would seem a gamble for any club in the premier league. Whilst we are struggling and have kinnear as a manager we are still alot more attractive to players than you are putting it.

Kris Thackray... was with the youth teams but let go at 16, plays for Reggina now, although I think he is out on loan to a lower league team.

What happened to that Geordie that was playing in Italy?

Wow there is so much positivety in this thread i dare not spoil it... well ok, he isnt even rated by rangers fans, smacks of desperation alround. this place will implode when its announced he isnt good enough. the up point is we will probably sign him regardless

Build the reserve team around him?
