Dont forget, Saviola

Replacement for Geremi maybe? Hopefully we can get Ebondo in aswell, not entirely convinced by Taylors defending, will be handy for beefing up the squad though and his versatility will be very useful. Can he actually play LB?

If we have two subs left in the 88th minute we should put him on then sub him in the 89th.

I think its a knee jerk move from the Barton injury but a good one. I think we will certainly still be going all out to get one of Veloso/Mbia/Donadel/Quashie, ok hopefully not Quashie. Could very well see us step aside from Veloso as part of the Nolan agreement. Nolan will be a solid player to add to what we have right now, he might not be a world beater but he is a better option than Ferguson or Quashie and will give us an extra option. Cant see how anyone can complain given the state we are in. In an ideal world we would be looking at players on top of their game not getting them to recapture it, but we are far from said world.

Praying bartons is only 3 weeks.

Perfect move for him tbh. Wont get a guarenteed starting place anywhere else, wigan are a side on the up. Would do a straight swap for scharner though!

Thank fuck smith will be back for saturday.. ..oh fuck wait a minute

sorry been on the road whats the deal with nzog? injured, transfer, just being gay or all 3?

Didnt think he actually did much in the Hull game, be suprised if he gets much for that.

Just Hull to contend with now? 500 though, thats half the wages Ashely is paying him every month isnt it? Not to mention at least 50x's more than he is worth.

Harper's cacking his pants right now.

Dont think we will be seeing either on tyneside unless they are playing against us.

9m plus johnson would do me. Apparently we are asking 10 and Johnson, City just want to pay 10.

would be some signing for them if they get him.

Defence is dodgy at best, but midfield is certainly worse.

Whats your perfect Sunday?

Harper with Krul on the bench. That is until Fabio gets here!

Newcastle vs Man City in the summer as part of the deal? I doubt it. Would be nice to thank him properly for his service though.

I'm expecting to see a pig fly past my window any second now ... or at the very least a slice of bacon. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_4853763,00.html The guy really seems like a whining cunt. Will fit in well with at Arsenal.

No one wants to sell. I understand TBH. Think they screwed up the title tbh or have back tracked, just says they didnt want enrique, just straight cash 4m upfront. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1128645/Put-shut-Celtic-tell-Newcastle-4m-plus-Enrique-prise-McManus.html?ITO=1490 ....................................................................... Didnt catch this in the article but my italian is very rusty. Vital football said the article says Donadel is expected on tyneside in the next 48 hours, it is an uber optimistic article though. http://www.newcastle.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=140926

Likely to drop interest in Mbia if so? Dont know much about either to be honest so not sure if thats a good thing or not.

Thats the guy that denied a move was in the offing two days ago and said he wanted to stay in Florence, right? That was before Kinnear said we were close on signing a 5m midfielder mind.

He would have been about 6 at the time, he started playing for Spurs in 1993. Calderwood turned down a significant pay rise from Spurs to leave to go to Northampton Town. He was rated to be an exceptionally talented coach, somewhat higher than his perceived ability as a manager. What! they start them young down there..

If the stories were true he was going to train today and sign tonight, havent seen any news from anywhere to confirm he came over though. I'd think it will happen tmrw if its true, but I'd doubt we will throw him in against City, he might make the bench. With Taylor back i'd think we would have RB covered. whos the cover? Taylor will start at RB.. Ebondo on the bench if he signs.. otherwise Edgar or even Geremi would slot in there.
