Why do people assume the size of stadium, statue of club and crowds should play a part in his decision. Look at it in a footballing sence, he's going to a club with an up and coming manager who likes to play open attractive football. They also have other young talents they are developing like McCarthy. We on the other hand have a negative manager, who's really a coach and have a history of looking for instant success rather than focusing on the long term, for example we seem to always rush players back to early. Not every decision a player makes is going to be based on crowds and club history.

I thought Ryan Taylor was shit, but the number of times he, and the rest of the defence had no option but to hoof it long was unbelievable. None of the midfield were making themselves open for the ball. There wasnt really anywhere else for the ball to go but long to Carroll, purely because of the way the team was set up.

It really was total shite today. Hughton is to blame for this negative bollocks in the way he sets up the team. We should be going out to attack teams like this, not go out negative from the start. Its not even playing it safe. Who gives a fuck if we're unbeaten if 14 or whatever, thats 3 away draws in a row. We might as well have won 1 and lost 2. Utter bollocks, from Hughton!

Jonny Hall, I have read the thread properly. People are basically congratulating him on such a great transfer window. I understand some of it is toung in cheek, but I don't think acting like a normal owner in one window and not being a cunt is enough to get excited about.

Fuckin hell! Its no wonder the fat cunt hung around at the end of 08 if were this easily won over. I'm only surprised we have done fairly well in this window because of the shocking standards Ashley has set himself. We've had no cover in some positions for going on 2 years. By sheer luck its taken so long for Jose to get injured. The defensive signings were a bare minimum in my opinion. If anything they've came a window too late. 2 average loans. In average I mean Coventry can get that left back on loan. Its hardly a brilliant piece of business. Welcome, but nothing more than should be expected. I give them credit for Routledge, but I'm not getting carried away by it. Good signing, yes, will it make me change my mind on Ashley, no. Moses would be a very good signing though and we would have had a good window. Something we should expect. I'm not going to get all stary eyed about Ashley just because he's had one decent transfer window as opposed to the shocking ones he's given us in the past. He's only in part rectifying the mess he made in the summer.

That was about 4 or 5 years ago.

Bollocks to be fair. We have a decent support up there, but certainly not as many fans as Man Utd, Liverpool and teams like Everton. Not to mention Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs.

Bit gutted im missing tomorrows game now because im in London for the night.

I don't think Ferguson cared much about keeping and developing Simpson, that's probably how we got him after Rossi.

I was mascot for Berwick v Newcastle in that pre season game and I got to meet him. Was amazing! Got a tour of the Newcastle dressing room before the game and went round every player shaking their hand, including Nickos. I remember being frightened of Andy Cole I was so amazed by him. haha. Must have been about 8!

Because the manager buys the players, picks the team, picks the tactics and motivates the team.

Morale must be getting low now.

They'll probably sell him for what they owe Watford and just give them the money. Gets rid of that debt.

Saw that. Its strange that I now hope most bids we make for players fail, despite us needing to bring players in.

We used to shop in all the decent shops, now we rake around the bins out the back of Aldi looking for scraps. A very average player who wouldnt improve our first 11 one bit. And thats saying something considering the centre of our midfield. I assume all our scouts were paid off when Keegan left or they arent aloud outside of England. The standard we now go for is pathetic. The least we could do is try and sign some exciting young players, never mind someone who would improve our first team.

He's at the heart of nearly all our periods of pressure. Thought he was brilliant tonight. Granted, the final ball isn't always great, but he puts the fear into defenders and can drag them all over the place. If we had someone with better movement up front we would gain far more from him in terms of assists. His workrate is good too. The opposition don't usually get many chances down their right, and that's because of both Enrique and Jonas working together. One of the first names on the teamsheet for me.

He's not awful now though, he's just been playing in Peru. I probably worded it wrong. Ive no idea how good he is now, but even if he did turn out to be awful, its not much of a risk anyway.

He might be awful now, but its not much of a risk unless he's coming in instead of someone else. He can't be any worse than fuckin Pancrate, and if he is, he won't play.

I await Hughton and co praising the current squad and the quality of our strikers. It will probably come at the end of the month though. We will go from needing to bring players in, to 'we only wanted to bring in players of a certain quality' and other gash excuses. We will sign nobody decent.

Yeah, another who could turn into a quality player. Suppose its a gamble at the moment, but this time last year, McCarthy would have been a great signing for the future. The kind of player we could do with at the moment.

Its ashame we didnt go for James McCarthy when we had the chance. He will turn into a quality player.

With only bidding 'a million or so' for players, we might as well give up. We're even struggling to bring in shite.

The playing squad last year should have been good enough to keep us up, maybe appart from CM. It was the turmoil and the shitty managers that relegated us. If you look at the squads of some Premier League teams, they are utter gash.

The players would deserve a big celebration for what they've done without a proper manager. Don't think there will be the same enthusiasm on the terraces though, because as some say on here, the futures not very bright whilst Ashley is still here.
