That would be a great way to lose Keegan before he's even begun, I seriously doubt it.

If this happens I wonder exactly what the Spuds fans will say? Earlier he was a s*** mercenery with no interest in Football, known to be a money grabber and not fit to tie Dawsons shit laces No doubt now history will be re-written as Woodgate being a great lad who is not interested in money and is happy being paid £3.50 a week if it means playing for the mighty Spuds. Oh and also he'll now be the second best defender in the country, second to the best defender of all time, Ledley King

There would be no point in doing that at all, Spuds point blank refuse to pay over £45,000 a week to anyone.

Given Carr Taylor Cacapa Enrique Milner Butt Zog Duff Owen Smith Hopefully that's the formation, either that or switch Duff and Zog.

As I said he's not particularly fast running with the ball, he also has the strange problem of almost never making good runs in behind the defence. So yeah its not really obvious, the only time you can see his speed is when he chases the ball down, which is also something he doesn't do enough of..

no doubt some ITK will claim we are paying 7m cash upfront and they were offering £3.50p upfront and the rest based on how many times he breaths in the next 10 years Both ridiculous and shortsighted comments. Spurs have a rigid wage structure - we all know that. If Spurs are paying 8M transfer fee, and we are paying 7M transfer fee, yet Spurs are paying 50k per week wage, and we match Woodgate's current pay 70k per week - within a year our expenditure on Woodgate would have matched Spurs, and after a year we would start paying 20k more per week than Spurs. What is there to laugh at Spurs if we are getting Woodgate on the basis of paying more money? We're paying him what he gets at Boro from what I have seen, which is £59k.

He probably means quickest on the ball. Martins is very fast when running without the ball, but he hasn't got the control to run particularly fast with it.

Mansfield off the bar twice! EDIT: Ah second one was a save actually

I considered changing my post to "Are you being serious?", but thought, fuck it I want to say this anyway wether he is or isn't

To be fair we are obviously paying him twice as much as they were willing to. Why else would he come here? More charasmatic manager?, billionaire owner?, plus he's a north east lad who doesn't think London is some kind of wonderland.. I'd say those are all possible reasons as well. Maybe he also thinks that, shock horror, Spurs aren't as amazing as the London hacks would have us believe? They've done well over the last few years, but have shown that the clubs obvious limitations makes it almost impossible to kick on and move into the top four. What must Woodgate have thought when they offered him as much as they could and it didn't even match his Boro wages?

Err, its just a question davey boy.. answer it, don't answer it, its that easy I genuinly just wondered if anyone has looked at the regulations on this?

Its exactly that continuity which could have seen us relegated though.. We got 9 points from our last 13 games under sam with a loss and a draw against the Premiership whipping boys, and the games were just about to get harder.

Why is that?, I find that a bit f****** ridiculous! not that it's a state secret or anything it's published on the Newcastle Football Club website. It's a pain in the arse but you have to have a license (which you have to pay for) in order to publish fixtures and we don't have it. It's stupid but we run the risk of being shut down if they're posted as we don't have the relevant permissions. Sahree. It does seem absolutely incredible that people can try to charge people for a couple of words! Will they be charging for the word 'and' next?? Does anyone have a link to any details on this because I just find it hard to believe it can be this crazy. I mean I can get my head around licensing for an entire fixture list, or even half of one, but not a few names, especially if they're not even in the correct order (its not even a fixture list if there in the wrong order! )

He was 26 when he joined Wigan, he's only 28 now (29 in a months time).

Sounds like it was written by Jol or some other Spurs fan

"alot of them are quite smug and DELUDED..." Not many people like that on here is there? This forum is a eutopia of common sense and realism in comparison to any Spurs forum I've ever been on. They are completely deluded, from there belief that they were a top side the moment they finished 5th once in over 10 years of lower then mid table mediocrity. To there gang of ITK's who think they know not only everything that's happening with the Spuds but also everything that's going to happen at every other club as well. Obviously they must have plenty of decent fans, but overall they are the most deluded fans I've ever witnessed apart from the Stoke lot, who were frankly insane!

One good game from Jenas and we should want him back? Bollocks mate, the goldfish bowl is in the lads head and he'll never be a top player..

45-50 IMO. Had Allardyce stayed I'd be predicting 35-40.

Nothing that annoys Spurs fans is ever pointless

Well Berbatov's 2 years younger and a better Footballer IMO.

On the outside, with no real knowledge of him personally, that's how he comes accross I agree. Still this certainly gives us a chance if the bid is made and Keegan+Shearer both go to speak to him. Keegan can talk about the Newcastle revolution, the others big players we're going for and big things in the near future with his usual ferver while Shearer can just say "I think your the only player who can finally fill my boots as Newcastle number 9, will you do it!". Who knows, as I said I don't think anyone is really expected us to sign Berbatov, mostly due to Manure wanting him. But who knows, we've got more chance then most of getting him..

End of the day mate he slept in his Newcastle 'Berbatov number 9' shirt, he dreamt of playing in the same shirt as Shearer and he may just get that chance

I get X X X.. Quote please Mr Spud

So why are you using a quote from Bergkamp instead of a quote from Berbatov? Because you have no quote from him that says the same thing, so you use a Berkamp quote as if that's some kind of evidence.. bizarre I don't think anyone on this board is expecting us to sign him by the way. Who knows how much he's changed since back in the Keegan days. But common, lets not be stupid, its obvious he was a fan of both Shearer and Newcastle. If an offer is made and Spurs accept then I can see a possibility there. Keegan with his ability to sell snow to an eskimo as well as the promise of big things to come and talk of a Chelsea style revolution (only less boring). Plus perhaps the offer of giving him the number 9 so he can finally have that 'Berbatov 9' shirt for real, and who knows, he might just take the offer. Also there's the possibility of Shearer giving him a call and meeting up to have a chat about his future

That's because, after looking back at past posts, I've realised I mistook you for someone else I apologise.. Still can't agree at all that Gullit is 100% correct though and frankly even the parts where he could have some point (expectations) are so vague they're completely meaningless.
