I rate Gundogan highly, one of my favorites playing the game right now.

if Mike Ashley offered Pixel Replay a sum to sell up, would he? I guess if the price was right?

Would you consider taking him back knowing full on he's mercenary (knowing his true colors) if it meant he'd be our main central option and Remy & HBA would be on the flanks? Helping us massively in the goal scoring department? Just curious your thoughts. Probably not, mate. I think we got the best 18 months of his career out of him anyway, tbh. Much rather we look elsewhere at a player who'd get the absolute out of the likes of Hatem and Remy. Fair statement, and the most preferable. Shame that the best striker we've had since Shearer was such a mercenary. He'd have scored many many more goals for us had he not left. In an ideal world, I'm with you - someone better to get the best of out Hatem & Remy for sure. But I'd not say no to the opportunity to get Ba, if that was our only option -- if that makes sense? Disco's pretty spot-on above though.

He scored 16 then 13 in the two half seasons we played him in his preferred position. Where else would we get a 30 goals a season striker? Bold. You think there is a realistic alternative who would score 30 in the Premier League available to us, penny pinching Mike Ashley NUFC? I haven't implied either way but to be honest, we simply don't know. This 30 goal a season striker you are referring to was signed on a free transfer, so it's not beyond the realms of possibility that viable alternatives are out there. Signing goalscorers on the cheap isn't common, but they also aren't isolated incidents (Michu, for example). Penny pinching Mike Ashley NUFC also purchased Cisse for a decent sum, which no-one expected so you just don't know with us. I'm beyond predicting what the guy will do tbh. Our transfer policy is extremely predictable. The first page of our investment policy reads: "exploit contractual circumstance and/or maximum age 26 and/or notable sell-on value." The only mitigating circumstance refers to Newcastle's position within the league at the time. For example. Cisse was signed when Champions League qualification was a tangible goal, and a modest investment would likely prove fruitful. Similar to the signings of Sissoko, Debuchy, etc, when relegation was equally as tangible an outcome. Forced investment. If we're still in mid-table by the time January rolls around, I'd be surprised to see any investment whatsoever. If a key player leaves, perhaps then we'll sign someone. But that wouldn't be 'investment'. Our policy has been and always will be reactive.

Would you consider taking him back knowing full on he's mercenary (knowing his true colors) if it meant he'd be our main central option and Remy & HBA would be on the flanks? Helping us massively in the goal scoring department? Just curious your thoughts.

AP will create a position called a box to box CF with Gouffran.

Wasn't he a big leader In the dressing room as well? Despite the goal selfishness he had presence about him and seemed to care enough.

I'll take your word for it. Not that bored.

I should have realized you call EVERYONE out in those threads. All good man, just wasting time that's all.

NikeID's add 40.00 to the price tag fwiw. Its not too crazy.

We could use that fucker to play CF next to Remy & HBA (Gouff)

I'm sure tons of folks would say the same about your electronic purchases dude. No need to call people out in another thread in that manner. Esp those who actually spend their own time to help you plan your f***ing vacations around the country. Having said all that, you're helping me with all of my electronic purchases in the future given you own nearly every good device.

"internationals" HBA should be looking at the list and saying to himself he needs to put the work in to make that squad this summer; whatever it takes.

Some top Adidas kits here, I'm generally not impressed with their stuff these days - but the WC kits look good.

Matchday revenue solely tickets?

He's probably in the best form he's been in years, right? And he's playing every week, he knows he's the first choice striker here for the foreseeable future as well. If he signs on, and we have a relatively decent season, he scores tons of goals and goes to the World Cup for France I think he'll sign on full-time.

Even worse, ack.

Red Bull West Ham?

I believe the home kit posted above is a reproduced mock-pic of the leaked shots that show the details of the chest area. http://i312.photobucket.com/albums/ll349/Todosobrecamisetas/Selecciones%202013/ADIBADGE1.jpg Todo Sobre Camisetas has loads of leaked/rumored kits on their site - including a ton of Puma WC kits, some Nike and Adidas.

Two 6'3 CBs, makes Tony Pulis and Pardew giddy. Also, those 2 would fucking boss people around - the bash brothers.

Caulker + MYM would be a class long-term partnership.

He and nearly all are fine to go as long as it's abroad tbh. Don't want to have to see a player week in and out showing his true worth in a system or style that suits his abilities. (Routledge) Having said that, I hope he stays and it's Pardew who is gone. Sylv has so much ability, shame we aren't seeing it every week, or more often. Be it manager and the players own fault, or unlucky injuries etc.

I just remember watching that from my apartment and standing in the living room in the final minutes of the match...in dead silence leading up to that and then just falling back over thinking holy shit. Mental goal, situation, celebration etc.

I get most nervous when he has the ball, he absolutely hates it. Although kind of makes me laugh when he gets a rush of confidence and plays a low pass about 15 yards up field. He's the un-droppable CB for me atm. He's playing well with MYM and I don't want to see Mapou get harshly dropped for Colo. No need to change a decent CB partnership unless its broken; mind you that could happen on Sunday vs Spurs, but would be harsh on both Willo and MYM.
