Dont think anyone is interested and like you pointed out he will have to take a big cut in wages wherever he ends up. Its his time to step up, he hasnt shown any interest in the past though. As other people mentioned either his attitude stinks or he simply isnt good enough. I would pick the latter considering we have been in situations where attitude could be accepted to get results. Granted he hasnt been given an extended run in the starting line up, but he also hasnt been picked by the past 4/5 managers when fit. Stuck with him til his contract runs out imo.

Not really sure Djarlo is up to it, certainly an improvement on what we have though. Should bring him just for his wife tbh. Best mates with Veluso too, maybe we can nick him from Genoa in the summer!

So take out the flashes of pure brilliance and its kind of like having Smith, Shola, Perch, Lovenkrands and Guthrie then. To name a few. Surely he would be an upgrade. there are better upgrades ..and mainly in more important areas. Not to say we couldn't improve in CM/AM we have to at least ship Guthrie and Smith out. Then we still have Nolan, Gosling, Barton and maybe HBA to fill that role. As I said earlier, along with CB its the least likely position I could see us strengthening this January.

Just check his twitter..

Just hours to go til the end of the season too.. Just a lot of em. Taarabt wouldnt make a whole lot of sense given the other positions we need to strengthen in. Being Newcastle I guess that means it will likely happen.

Would be a big gamble to assume he could make the step up. Type of player i hope we are looking to sign though.. ie his pace/versatility.

Split on Keane. On one side I think he could flourish given an extended run of games and the chance of a partnership with AC. On the other side he could be a huge disapointment and going for someone completely different might be a better idea. He would bring alot of experience, which we are definately missing right now up front. He has more of a footballing brain than our entire front line too, I'm not saying that is hard to match or beat though. Babel is a decent shout although I think he could be more of a gamble than Keane. We need someone that we will be consistent and reliable so the likes of AC and Ranger can come through at the right pace. Our budget might give us problems finding that kind of player.

We will bring in two players at the most. Some classic knee jerking today, granted we were always inadequete upfront and some people have always questioned the midfield.

Downing and Adam Johnson on either wing, SJH will be having a wet dream. This would be ideal. I think we will see a LB in on loan and a Striker. Really hope the striker is significantly better than what we have, we need to ship Xisco, Best, Lovenkrands and Shola out, the latter two can wait until the summer. I think we will be in for Keane without a doubt. I expect him to end up somewhere else though.

Would be a solid appointment. Nice mid point age wise between Steve Stone and Willie Donachie. Some solid experience behind him now too.

Blatently just saying no exits, can't believe people are getting their knickers in a twist. All talk anyway.. Blatently selling the likes of Best, Xisco and Perch.

If Liverpool lose once or twice more over the next couple of weeks there will be a swift sacking of Hodgson and hiring of MON, imo.

:clap: Legendary interview.

Yup Think Taylor will take Willows place though, his tongue is far up Pardews ass.

Going to cost a lot of money to get an upgrade on Nolan, which is unrealistic in the short term. Depending on how he returns from injury maybe Gosling could be molded into that role. We desperately need a decent Striker in January. Ranger looked bright today but he is still raw, an injury to Carroll and we are looking toothless again. With a bit of luck we can offload Xisco, Best, Lovenkrands and Shola even if its for peanuts. Probably more realistic that the latter two will be kept on until the end of the season.

What a guy, certainly slowly becoming a fat cult legend. Nolan nt jdckelly for the record, although jdckelly is great too I'm sure.

Yeah but he is alot like a battered wife, he will come back for more and take it. His West Ham connection will be strong. He would definately benefit going back to the championship with Ipswich or Sheffield United, premiership management will be a big pull though.

Sweet, good gig, hope they look after him . Good move if true. Can see him hanging about for the West Ham job though....cant be long.

Not many other people will get that. Collingwood is great. as if, it's bad kama to say that. You will wake up with a horse head in your bed or a ho.

JITTERBUG..

"Uh, Earth to brint..." Brint: ..its like the way Ashley runs his football club? Lambias: Or like, doesn't, it's like, ex-squeeze me, but have you ever heard of public relations? Brint: I'm sure Ashley's heard of public relations, he's a male buisnessman. Lambias: Uh, earth to Brint, I was making a joke. Brint: Uh, Earth to Lambias, duh, okay I knew that! Lambias: Uh earth to Brint, I'm not so sure you did cuz you were all 'well I'm sure he's heard of public relations' like you DIDN'T know it was a joke! Brint: I knew it was a joke Lambias, I just didn't get it right away! Lambias: Earth to Brint... Pardew and Ashley: Would you guys stop it already?

Heard he got a parcel from Hughton this morning containing a Cigar Cutter and picture of Pardew.

Like to think they will play out of their skin for Hughton on Saturday...celebrating by revealing pro hughton messages. If we score I would expect the players to go straight to the fans and run past the dug out blanking the coaching staff. They should certainly be fired up for Saturday. Could certainly go one way or another. Past this weekend though is anybody's guess. They dont have much choice but to give him a chance, if he is any good I am sure they will take to him, but if he is every bit the cunt he appears to be the half arsed performances will be obvious.
