Oh did he? I think Newcastle's first team is pretty strong in FM2011. I had to do plenty of editing. Other than Coloccini and Carroll I'd have no problem with the attributes...

Oh did he? I think Newcastle's first team is pretty strong in FM2011.

While Bassong was great during his time here, this year from what I have seen he isn't way better than Williamson and Saylor. Would prefer a better prospect as the Willicini partnership is doing great.

Daniel Cardone

So another Vukcic?

To be honest, even if Carroll's still here, if it's Hughton who is the manager now, we probably would have to battle for relegation. Despite some early positive results, the team under Hughton was unable to perform consistently in every match and always lose some easy points. In that sense the hiring of Pardew is spot on. Probably a bit too early but in the end it is a correct decision. Souness main fault is his transfer. We aren't THAT bad on the pitch. We still have some quality players and we are just no longer a top 4 team. What hurt most is those ridiculous transfer fee and wages paid out that finally force us to hire Sam in order to "restore the team cheaply".

His football career has finished. Fact.

The french boy from Lens?

It actually implies that Pardew is ready to let Forster to fight for the No.1. Good news to me. On the other hand, it is meaningless if Pardew praise him but mention that he would have no future at Newcastle.

He will regret going to Liverpool.

Our gate receipts are pretty impressive considering we are in Championship. Turnover for the coming year could be close to 90m excluding Carroll's money. And seems like Liverpool would be in deep deep trouble for the coming year's figures. 121m wages are terrible for a club with only Europa places this year and no Euro competitions next year. They may have to sell before buy. Liverpool still have a pretty solid turnover though, even considering the loss in income due to missing out on Europe. The key for them will be Fenway, who are surely in for the long haul. They've already ploughed in some serious money. I did think our wage bill would be higher, keeping it at 56% was a surprise. We need to offload a handful of high earners this year, as "extra" players' wages (Gallas, VDV) will have been offset by the CL revenue and other clubs picking up at least some of the tab on people like Keane and Bentley. Pleasantly surprised by the figures shown. I thought that that 156M for property development for Arsenal was included the last time Conn did this? I just do not get Man City or Chelsea. Honestly. They must know something we don't about the new financial constraints. Man City's commercial activities magically increasing to 53M? More than Arsenal's, and not far off Liverpool's? If the fair play regulations mean even a tiny fraction of what they're supposed to mean then they'll get laughed out of Europe. I do not believe in their owner. All Americans are just "investing for money". So in the end Liverpool has to balance their books. But I don't see any chance that their wages could go down and so very likely they would have a loss of at least 40m for the coming year. That's devastating. That's why I always said the transfer of Carroll could nail the coffin if Liverpool could not get back to Euro competition this year. Do you notice that recently some people are saying "Liverpool does not need overhaul"? That's PR when means they do not have any money to spend. If Dalglish cannot continue to do his job superbly, I could see Liverpool doing a Leeds, really. That's why Smith must be sold this summer. With Carroll's money we are capable to bring in 2 established stars and challenge top 6 next year. Smith must go. Unless UEFA specifically states that "related party transactions" will be excluded in calculating the financial fairplay rule, they would not have any trouble. Say, Man City invited to play a match in Dubai for 500m. Done.

Yes they are very well run. People on here have used them as an example of a club pursuing their ambition by throwing money about. That's a myth - they invest what they can afford. The key reason is the wages structure. Look at their squad and you will find their wages unbelievably low.

Spurs' figures are unbelievable, btw. The best in Premiership I would say.

No point for Canales to stay then

Yeah, I think the lineup I predicted for yous had the likes of Carroll, Tavernier and Vuckic in. I wonder whether Vukcic is alive.

It seems like he's very close to making our first team debut last year but his squad status seems to regress this year? What happened?

Sorry for bringing that up again, may be I better remove that post....

Sameobi and Shameobi starting is a must.

I understand Sturridge is good but 75k+ ppw wages seems a bit too much. I would take him if he can settle for 60k wise, but that's unlikely that he will take a pay-cut after those glittering performance @ Bolton. Definitely out of our radar. And also, is that the first evidence we have to prove that Carroll was forced to submit the transfer request?

I'd take him for 10m. Barton, N'Zog, Jonas and HBA would be a devastating attacking set-up.

He seems to be even taller and faster than Ranger.

I'd prefer Sameobi over Carlton Cole.

Ba is a gamble. Stock City turned down the deal after Ba failed a medical. Could be down to not enough money but there's uncertainty.

Finally a post I can agree with you.
