. Just say we're Tottenham, they'll let us sign him next Saturday.

Aye that would be crazy, I mean not only is he past it, he's not even our player anymore..

You don't get it, the comparison is ridiculous. We want a couple of players, comparatively Villa desperately needed players. We want Premier League players, Villa will take anyone who can improve them from the god awful position they're in. Its a silly comparison.

Well yeah but Villa really needed to buy, they're 13th and 22 points below us FFS. If we needed to buy that much and didn't then I'd be livid. But right now, while I'd like to see us improve, I wouldn't be distraught if we waited till the summer.

Then that's the end of that I'd say. Just a suggestion, who knows, but IF that was the case I'd say he can go and f*** himself to be honest. I agree if it is but all the reports have suggested that he is keen to come - everything points to the fact that Ashley has a new crane to lift him back up and is trying to play football manager again - we will see but I will be very surprised if anyone comes in by tomorrow of any stature. If he was keen to come why would we not just pay the £13m and get the deal done? If there's a loan fee which we don't want to pay then that would suggest it's Townsend that wants it to be a loan deal initially. I reckon it's us who won't commit to the £13m and want a loan in case we don't go up. While we all think we'll go up i suppose paying £13m and getting a player in on Premiership wages would be a risk, if we then didn't go up. Good point. Weren't earlier reports saying it was Townsend who wanted the loan first?

Townsend may not want to commit to it.

He's never looked like a Footballer to me like.

McCarthy cost £13m 3.5years ago before the transfer market massively inflated. Any competent Premier League player is going to cost a minimum of £15m now. Just look at the daft money Palace are spending on mediocre players. McCarthy has actually played very well this season since getting his fitness back too. Previous two seasons he was pretty poor and we'd have probably snapped your hand off for £16m. Especially pre-takeover. I suspect £20m would get it done if McCarthy wants to leave. Otherwise, I think Koeman would be happy to keep him in the midfield rotation regardless of the sums offered. Premier League prices are crazy but the only solution is to buy from elsewhere. I know prices are crazy like but I can't agree that any competent Premier League player has to cost a minimum of £15m. But aye like you say prices are very inflated and the only way to avoid it is to buy from abroad.

Cullen Crisp Senior, dangerous drug dealer and all round thoroughly scary badey. Expected Arnie to turn up at St James Park when we signed him. http://application.denofgeek.com/pics/film/list/schwarzenegger/14.jpg

What a utter scrote sack. Looks like Jamie Carragher Looks like Crisp from Kindergarten Cop.

Are there no games on any TV channels tonight?? I mean apart from the obviously unmissable Barrow vs Lincoln City...

Going up is obviously the main thing. But, Brighton beating us to the title.. fuck that shit.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-only-willing-loan-andros-9651438 He's failed to justify his price tag but they want their money back Aye as much as I find it funny that they want a fee they don't feel he's worth I'd still pay £13m if we had to. I think he'd be worth that for us, now and in the future when we go up.

Benitez is way above our station at the moment, but he's here because he believes we can go straight back up and fulfill the clubs potential. Hopefully he can convince players like Deulofeu of the same thing. Not the same thing in the slightest. I'm saying that while the club currently are at Championship level our manager's reputation is above that. As a manager he's not below the likes of Deulofeu and he may be able to persuade him of the same thing he himself believes, that we have the potential to be a top club.

Things aren't going to well and a tabloid just happens to come out with a disruptive article, well I'm fucking shocked We'll see very soon if any of it is true, because our manager wouldn't accept that kind of interference. My bet is its nothing but opportunism. We haven't signed anyone in January so its very easy to play on peoples fears to sell papers.

So Big Sam will get relegated. Alternatively, get a life. Or alternatively you could just stop telling people what they should and shouldn't want?

Is it time to panic yet? Need to sack this fucking useless plan A wanker like.

Africa. Ah shit aye

Where's Atsu?

I don't think selling tickets for £1 is a bad thing to do necessarily (though as is pointed out above plenty buying them may otherwise have paid full price). But the fact they have to do that shows how fucked they'll be financially if they lose the Premier League TV money.

People keep saying this but we'll have a hard time finding PL standard players who will be big part of the team next season should we get promoted this season. No one of any real quality is actually going to join us in January and Rafa will know that. Nobody of the kind of quality we'll be able to buy next season no, but I think we'd be able to attract better than Cleverly right now if we pushed the boat out. But why bother when you can just get someone good enough on a short term loan (like Cleverly) and then go for the real quality next season.

If we were looking for players for next season we'd be after someone better than Cleverley, so don't think there's much chance of agreeing a obligation to buy.

Well financially for Sunderland they're a bad thing obviously.
