He will be back next season.. In a Red shirt.

Over the hill tbh. not worth the money we would have to pay for him.

Martins on... oh no..

about time Manure stopped pissing about and stuck a couple past West Ham.

Meh

Quite like the look of Hunt at Reading too, Sorin might not be a bad shout, although maybe a bit too old now, would certainly be an allardyce type signing.

Jlloyd Samuel isnt the answer to anyones defensive problerms.

Love to see what Allardyce could do with Luque if he isnt already signed, sealed and delivered to PSV's door. Bramble will no doubt get "Yet another chance". Unfortunatley Id say Carr and maybe Babayaro might have futures too. Gooch is as good as gone, Moore wants to go regardless. Owen who knows, I think he will stay, but stranger things have happened. Likewise N'Zogbia Sibbers will probably get another year extension as will Nobby. Will be interesting to see who gets another chance and who is shipped out. Like someone said earlier he will definatley want to analyse every player first when he gets here, problem is after Sunday they go off on holidays til pre-season, so where that is going to happen other than personal meetings who knows.

Whats that parnaby like that has turned down a new contract a Boro, I thought he was tipped for decent things a couple of years ago, but he seems to have gone a bit Peter Ramage.

I dont know where people have got this luke young fetish. Personally I am convinced he is scarecely better than Carr. He hasnt been on the form that got him called up to the England setup in years, and even then he wasnt really all that. I cant believe Martins will be for sale, other than the fact he is probably the biggest fan favourite behind Nobby, he has unlimited potential. Viduka wouldnt suprise me at all, infact its got big sam signing all over it, a cheaper and better version of Kevin Davies and will give another year or so for big Andy to learn his trade. Distin looks set for Pompey as does Bramble. Would expect some big names coming our way (albeit over the hill ones).

After he was loaned out to Celtic, Fat man left it down to Souness if he wanted him back or not. If the new manager wanted Bellamy he would get him. Bellamy plus 5/6m wouldnt be bad.. although naturally Id prefer to keep Owen if he wants to stay.

Yeah would be quality if everyone is singing his name. Then it transpires next week we havent even been talking to him and get someone else in.

Terms agreed with Spurs. Has his medical next week . That's from his agent. Younes Kaboul at the same stage of progress. Looks like Levy has finally opened his wallet!! Would have just kept Berbatov if I were you, but Bent will be an adequete replacement and will work well with what you have left, plus if you rape them for as much as you did for Carrick you will have an odd £20m extra in your pocket.

well what about roy keane....the sunderlands fans can live with it We need something long term to develop. Phil will not stay here long term So is SA the man to do it LONG TERM?? Exactly, like I said before, this is a man who said he would be retiring from football this time next year when his Bolton Contract run out. So he has a great season for us next year and we do well, Steve McClaren gets sacked as England manager. Do you think his Whoreish behaviour wont return to get the England managers job, and would the FA have any better prospective English managers. Would he be able to turn down a bigger job? The flip side is, he doesnt do well and half of the fans will be on his back after six months calling for his head and we are back to square one again.

Didnt Big Sam say he was going to retire after his 10 year contract ended at Bolton, leaving nearly into the 9th year? Would you trust him to turn down the england job if he does well with us and McClaren gets sacked? Why would someone like Big Phil want to come here at the expense of tarnishing his reputation just for some more money? Theres plenty of ways he could do that, take over Russia for example or the USA team, If he wanted to come to the premiership he would be hungry for it. I hope the same is for Big Sam to make the step up and try and win things with us.

Big Phil must be getting pissed off on the phone. "No it really is me, and I am really interested, why doesnt anyone believe me?" Big Phil is the topline, top draw version of Big Sam, they would both shake our whole club up and both embrace new technology and fitness and training methods. Scholari is just an infinately better manager all round. Never going to happen though.

He was always said to favour playing in the middle and was tipped to end up playing there so it wouldnt be a suprise. His versatility is an asset, but he might find himself employed in that role this coming Sunday now Parker and Emre are out.

oh its just a matter of time, but to be in the same leagues as the good majority of European leagues the MLS would have to jump light years with the other leagues falling significantly back, the latter just isnt going to happen. Football is constantly improving, Newcastle can go out and buy 6 decent players in the summer but it wont be considerably relevant as the majority of other teams will make good purchases that move their team forward. The good thing about the American/Canadian league is that its got so much potential and you cant even see the ceiling, and its the fastest growing sport and biggest inner city sport certainly in canada and alot of the states.

Ben Haim, Distin, Sidwell, Viduka, Appiah, Tuncay, Then spend money on Baines/Matt taylor and micah richards wouldnt say no to Nugent, Bent, Barnes, Bale, Campbell, Hunt (reading)

If Stevie G did his cruciates or broke a leg then Liverpool would be f***** Honestly that club never has serious injuries ... then again no club can rival us on the injury front Cisse got off pretty lightly then did he? Few clubs have had the injury nightmares we have had, but then few clubs have been run as shoddy as ours.

Coming to a st. james park near you...

Taylor and Certainly Milner have the right to feel agrieved about this, but theyre time will come.

Tough Choice between him and Sven really. Think he would certainly shore us up and give us some stability and momentum, but I also think he could turn out to be another dalglish. Who ever takes over needs charisma imo. Sven and Houllier just dont have the open passion that the crowd will take too, albeit they are both much better qualified than Allardyce.. ...but then werent Souness, Gullit, Dalglish and Robson? The crowd has to be behind the new guy in charge, it would be much easier to turn on Sven or Houllier when they dont looked asrsed in the dug out when things are going wrong.

Cant see Owen going anywhere in the summer. He would be hated not just by Newcastle fans just for his lack of loyality after all the faith and money we have put into him. but more importantly because wor Al would give him a real kicking.

So quite outrageous paper talk so far.. Allardyce is coming in Speed, Mike Forde, Ricky Sbragia, Ricky Sbragia have all been touted and Im sure Hull and Carlisle will be thrilled the papers are talking up Phil Brown and Neil McDonald! Then Campbell, Nolan, Anelka, Davies, Jaskilinen, Ben Haim are all apparently targets! so more than likely we will end up with bruce and terry mac staying on...
