La Parka

Fuck me. Hopefully we can turn that over.

.........Butt......... ..Barton..Emre.. .........Duff........ ? Weird midfield.

Skeptical to begin with. Hope he is a success but I can see it ending in tears. I'll still get behind him like!

Orly?

God luck lads. I got work so I won't know the result till tonight

Spot on. I f****** love the man, he's superb. I'm also a fan of Kammy, genuine legend. Agree completely. His hosting skills make the show.

Both. I'm talking about players who were bought for the future in general. I always think there's a lot more satisfaction in seeing 'one of your own' come through. In the future, it's going to be harder to get top quality kids unless they've come through your Academy as anyone with ability will already have been snapped up by a bigger fish. Of course there will be some that will slip through the system to resurface later, but I would be surprised if they will be as prevelant as they have been in the past. Supposedly, Lyon has managed to stay on top in France by snapping up quality young players (not Academy players) from all over Ligue 1. Year after year, they buy young, play them for a season or two and turn around and sell them at exorbitant prices. Not bad business being the middleman. Or so that's what I'd read somewhere. Like Ajax then (though their youth is more cosmopolitan).

Hillsborough. Had wooden seats when I went!

Do you want to try? 'Cos I don't. Change the title to: Another one of those pointless board threads that goes around in circles or something.

Its more of a side effect of growing up.

Any chance you can split the thread or something? Move all this bullshit somewhere else? What has this board discussion got to do with fabio. I'm tired of these shitty politics coming up over and over again.

It was only a joke mate. Blatently had terrible acne as a kid! Never had it, but its a bit harsh picking on him right?

FUCKING HELL IS THIS SHITTY POLITICS BULLOCKS STILL GOING ON IN HERE! ARN'T WE MISSING THE POINT HERE?! Good luck to Fabio, hope it turns out well for him!

Good luck Fabio, hope you survive the fickle fans.

Leave the kid alone! Fuck me! Why bother commenting on his complexion?! Sad tbh. Good luck Ole!

Me too! woop!

s***. Hope the frail fucker gets injured. That will help NUFC a great deal. Keeping him out the team is a good thing tbh. We aint got the quality to supply him leaving him to be largely ineffective.

If his wage cant motivate him then nothing will.

Shit. Hope the frail fucker gets injured.

Good post. It seems people are envious of Wenger's achievements at Arsenal yet don't want to see the same set up implemented here. Strange. Iz becoz we canna parayde dem lyek. If dey not heard of dem den they must be shit innit?!

Hopefully so. Done nothing to deserve it, and, unless he gets his arse in gear it will be his last cap.

Because its not Albert Luque. exactly.

Exactly. These are the people who expected Diego, Naldo or Deco to walk through the door. I will say what I said in the summer. We are not an attractive prospect, we have fallen behind (big style). Best way to move forward is with young, hungry players, not big name, big money players (which we could never attract anyway) IMO.

Aye, you'd think so until you notice it's actually Michael Bridges who's changed his name by Deed Poll. so you are happy with signing 17 year old kids, where one out of twenty or something will make the premiership, and are confident we will match the top 4 teams under such a policy I will tell you here and now, you can believe all the hype bollocks, cliches or whatever you have done in the past, but you will NEVER match the top 4 teams unless you have players that they themselves want, and sometimes that means paying top dollar for these despicable "trophy" players. If you disagree, I wait for the response when Keegan makes his first decent money signing. I think the transfer policy so far under Ashley has been an absolute disaster. I agree, for a club with massive ambition and supposedly loads of cash to splash, extremely dissapointing. Who did you expect to come here? As big as our wallet may be, are we really an attractive proposition? Shit, mid table, mediocre. Not good grounds for a move.
