would probably prefer shorey, either would be good competition/cover for Enrique.

He is the new pablo aimar.

(but slower) Surely not! (bastards!)

De Jong would be a usefull addition at that price. Good age, Good experience and great versatility. Maybe an alternative to Inler.

No replacement for Round (more bile from the papers) http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2008/jul/16/newcastleunited.premierleague To be fair if Ashley was that concerned Terry Mac and the Tea Lady wouldnt still be here, or are they one and the same these days?

Must be signing for Spurs.

Carr never disliked one of our players as much as lee dixon. carr comes close, although i cannot remember many players worse in a toon shirt than alan smith. my anger has calmed given the break. no players ineptitude has made me strop like a child in the living room when watching a match as much. robert frustrated the tits off me in his last season but i wouldnt line him or anyone else up with the former two.

ok. i will stop flapping like a girl. id would hope we have the option to sign him though.

Cant honestly see the point in this loan deal, unless we have an option to buy. the main problem with enrique is his lack of experience. getting someone even younger, inexperienced and to an extent fragile seems mad. it would seem crazy even if it wasnt a loan. we need someone for enrique to learn from that we can depend on, not someone half the board will rip into if he has a bad game, whilst the other half say, give him time he will be better next year.

Good news if true, will be a good experience for him.

Pushing more through the internet and the official site is the way forward. They can really do alot more with it, that said if they actually bother to film some more stuff to go in new sections they have put on the official site it wouldnt be so bad. Internet and tv will probably be combined before we have enough content to put on a 12 hour tv channel let alone 24.

Break top ten for me, (providing Ashley will get his wallet out for a decent player or two this summer) anything else would be a huge failure. We have a talented squad of players, should we add a handful of immediate first teamers and get the best out of what we have we should be looking to push us high up the top half of the table as possible. That said, depending on what our rivals do in the market I wont be throwing a tantrum if we end up behind, the big four, Spurs, Villa, Everton, Mancity etc...

I dont see villa as a step up. granted i am a touch biased. Spurs bound 100% me thinks.

Great signing for manure, he is the missing link since rvn left. dont think it will harm spuds in the slightest either, they can certainly use the money on a decent replacement or two.

Certainly fits into the warts and all categorie Keegan hinted we would probably be forced to go for. However, the Mail trash is completely irrelevant considering the fact he is all but a Benfica player and has been the last couple of days.

He should do, depends how much he is taking part in the reserve games either side of the Hartlepool match. Wouldnt really be expecting us to go with a strong side from the start, probably a different mix of experienced and unexperienced either half.

They need to be careful, id love to see legal action taken. Could you imagine the uproar if it was an Englishman coming out with some of the quote those tossers have? I'm suprised they havent called for the EPL to be cut adrift and abolished.

Not too concerned for most part of who it is we actually sign, I have faith in KK and the scouting team to pick the right players for us. More concerned we get the amount of players we need in the right areas of the pitch, I still think we are short of any real creative genius in CM (although maybe time will tell with Guthrie/Guiterrez). We also need defensive reinforcements back up LB, CB and maybe a RB. Should Ameobi leave, another Striker too. IMO, we need a could 4/5 players more.

Funny how he bigged up Arsenals interest last time and nearly ended up at fulham. I would be shocked if either Arsenal or Spurs come in for him tbh. That said his attitude isnt far off Gallas so maybe he will be on Wengers list after all.

Decent, low cost cover for Barton (of whom nobody knows where the future lies).

Whats the idea with this gadgee? Italians playing hardball on the price tag or just everyone keeping heads down, denying his existence in the hope the inflated fee might drop?

No contact in over a week hardly sounds like we are set on bringing him in. maybe a good sign we are looking at squad players though.

You crazy stalking bastards! lol

With all the old women like panic over not getting any players in, I feel it unfair that the coaches situation gets left behind. As much as everyone does or doesnt like terry mac (mainly due to his lack of coaching abilities) surely this is a situation we will be looking at now Round has left. Personally I wouldnt mind two more coaches, although whilst it should relieve keegan of a little pressure you could say it might take away from his magic working with players.

too cool for school.
