There's nothing wrong with quite a few of the comments posted, a lot of them are either misunderstandings or inuendo's. A lot of them are incredibly stupid and funny though

Why did Querdrue leave Boro and why is he now leaving Fulham one season later?

I think the point of the debate was what if we could have those five £10 million players and Ronaldinho? In other words what if signing him had no effect at all on other signings.

If nothing else I can now at least keep him in my Newcastle team in Pro Evo He's fucking awesome, Newcastle's best player for me

I'd take it in the mouth... and swallow.

Don't think people are using the American meaning here mate..

I think you have answered your own question. I think you need to stop smoking crack. ? Hands up if your think we should be giving trials to overweight & unfit players? Sam wasn't even there to see him the first day. Complete waste of time. What?.. that's the point of a trial for f*** sake! Until you give a player like this a trial you won't know for sure if they're unfit or what other problems they might have. Duscher is obviously a player Allardyce has seen in the past and been interest in. But given the problems he's had at Depor (lack of fitness ect) and the fact he's been released it was decided to give him a short trial to see if he's still the same player or not. Obviously he isn't the same player and so he was sent away. Exactly the way a trial should work.. again, what on earth are you complaning about?

Uh oh, NM's on his Luque high horse again. Expect this thread to hit 100 easily now..

Owen - surplus to requirements even though fit Martins - 4th choice striker Viduka - money grabbing lazy c*** sort of like that you mean? How about Owen - Madrids best goal scorer before we got him Martins - Loved by Inter fans Viduka - Boro's best player

Well yeah of course he won't have $4 billion all in cash (probably $3 billion or so).. As with everyone listed by the likes of Forbes his estimated fortune will include assets such as his home, private plans, boats ect. Though it doesn't include shares, of which he has at least another couple of billion dollars worth.

What the fuck are you on about now?

I'll second that!

Also that list was made just before he made $2 billion from the floatation of Sports World, which doubled his personal fortune to $4 billion. Which would put him up to number 214 (of course some other billionaires may have increased there fortunes significantly that year as well..). However, we're owned by the Lerner family trust, which manages the wealth of Randy Lerner, his sister and his mother, who all are individually worth pretty much the same amount, so you can triple that figure and ya booh sucks. That means we can fail to sign players who cost at least double the players who can fail to sign. Yay! Oh .... Actually no, tripling Randy Lerners fortune wouldn't put it close to double that of Ashley's. It would basically make them level.. so boo sucks to you fritzey..

The shares have tumbled since then & I am sure he has something like 40% to 57% stake in them. He has also paid £100 million to buy the Toon. Obv the quick £30 mill he made off those Adidas shares will more than likely cover him paying off most of NUFC debt off. The share price has no effect on his personal fortune, the £1 billion I referred to was earned by selling 43% of Sports World on floatation. Of course it effects the worth of his assets, but that's a seperate matter.

Keep on responding?... He didn't respond at all until now. Why didn't he say he wants to stay weeks ago? Because now that a move hasn't materialised he's decided its safe to ingratiate himself to the fans. What he really should be doing is asking for a new contract, without the release clause. No he couldn't, proven by the fact that nobody has put in an official £9 million bid..

I agree, something as small as getting married is a pretty insignificant event compared to a pre-pre season holiday.. erm training camp in Austria.. Looney

You are wrong, he was good, not great but not average either.

What the fuck are you talking about?...

Not sure if he joined Milan that same summer or the year later. He joined Milan the same month as that story (June 2002).

I'd like to actually see NUFC.com's words, rather then ICNewcastle.. Also how do we know Rivaldo didn't agree in principle to the move before Milan came in and highjacked the move?

They reported the rumour, but did they ever claim it was happening based on there own sources? It probably won't happen, but I'd be suprised if the deal wasn't being discussed between NUFC/Barca and Deco at the moment. Is all I could find searching.. Here we go with Figo? Real Madrid midfielder Luis Figo could be a surprise arrival as negotiations with the Portuguese star suggest some cause for optimism. The man who cost Real £37m when he was signed from Barcelona five years ago may come to Tyneside on a similar contract to the one that saw former Barca colleague Patrick Kluivert arrive last summer. Figo is apparently keen on the deal and a year contract with two exercisable one year options may suit both parties. Amid the stuff and nonsense overflowing this weekend, apparently this story has some substance. http://www.soccer24-7.com/forum/showthread.php?t=79532 So it was definitely not the same kind of story as with Deco then. Which is encouraging..

Based on what Andy? How many times have you gotten something like this right? I can't remember so I'm geniunly asking. Are you seriously saying your sources are more reliable then the likes of NUFC.com? Personally I am still very skeptical about this happening, despite NUFC.com usually being very reliable. But not based on some so called ITK.....

Reliable? I would say so, look at all the ITK stuff AH has come up with in the past! Is this a woosh? I'd definitely trust NUFC.com's sources ahead of anyone on this forum.
