Kanj

I'd say £8 million is a fair valuation of his ability but not with his contract situation etc. He's worth 6-8M in my opinion and I'm basing this off the fact I've followed his career since we first were linked with him when he was at St. Etienne. 6M is probably the true value but due to our current striker situation, I'd be fine paying 2M over that to secure him now and get him going. That being said, If we could do a deal that involved 8M each for Gomis and Remy that would be fine business in my eyes to get 2 strikers for 16M.

You could achieve that by signing Neesy. Neesy's a class dude. I'd sign him.

I guess you could say anyone that pushes Shola further down the pecking order is a good signing

I'd take Bent and Gomis over Gignac any day of the week tbh.

They are now slow and s***. Right, all slow, weak and shit.

Was this like a scare tactic on Millwall? He use this as leverage or something?

Honestly don't think he will. But fair enough. He's made a point to come out and say otherwise whilst being on holiday and such which he could have ignored.

They are fine full backs and looking forward to seeing the Debuchy who was excellent in France and the Euros and the Santon of the first 1/2 of last season.

Debuchy was inconsistent as well, there were a few matches he looked a class above everyone else on the pitch. We can't discount being a player in a team absolutely in a nose dive with low confidence and massive amounts of worry being near the bottom of the league and fearful of the drop. With a new campaign on the horizon the players mentality will be in much h better places. I believe we'll see many of these players in better form.

I find this news to be a refreshing breath of fuck off to Joe and Mike Ashley. Whatever the reason(s) Mick "turned down" the job I'm happy for it. This is a win in my book.

Positive thoughts man, come on

I seem to remember our home kit being released for sale about a week or 2 before the league kicked off and I did a rush order/delivery.

No b/c the Ben Arfa airport photo was good news and exciting for us, this really isn't.

Can't fathom this Gignac as a winger nonsense, I've never seen him play there and he's big target man type lad as well.

I thought he did, my bad. Clearly that's where he'd go?

I absolutely love Cisse but perhaps a combination of Gomis & Remy would be an upgrade? Remy wide left, Gomis up top and HBA wide right? We add 2 goalscorers to our starting 11 with both probably better at the all-around and link-up play and Remy having the lightning pace and Gomis having the pure strength. They may not be better finishers than Cisse, but combined they provide what we're missing?

Our best bet is this and for the financial markets to go rabid again and someone taking a fancy on us. I'd absolutely love for someone with deep fucking pockets and an appetite for football to take us on and save us from this absolute piss take of an owner.

Yep, good points as well. Lee and Speed man, my goodness what immense players.

Those socks man...its like pixelated stripes too.

Remy + Gomis in? I'd 100% support that.

There will be time his style would suit us a in 4-4-2 or times when his physicality will suit us in a 4-3-3. He's a good striker with experience in Europe. People sometimes drive me mad, like we can be so choosy when clearly we have several boxes to tick before we go after a player. I'm just as happy if we sign Gomis as I would be Bent. It improves our squad no doubt and all things being equal - Cisse resolving his issue with the sponsorship and staying - great for our depth. If he goes, then we need another. The further we are away from throwing Shola on to the pitch, the better, and this is coming from someone who likes (not rates) the man. Meaning no disrespect to the Mackem Blaster.

We're lean as fuck in terms of our coaching/physio staff thanks to the massive staff amassed by Fat Sam and the huge severance payouts Ashley had to fork out to them when he sacked Sam and the lot. It's always been a problem since.

he's damaged goods now

This fucking guy... Lee Ryder ‏@lee_ryder 1m No bid for Hatem Ben Arfa from #lfc yet. #nufc
