Make it for moolah?

In for embarrassment.

http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,95403.0.html TaylorJ's setting a league up

Only for the group stage apparently.

Nobody knows what it means, but it's provocative. Nicely played.

Dog is becoming a monster.

Han Colo must pay for this.

Can definitely see that. Bit shit to be a stepping stone, mind, but I suppose it will give us some canny players to watch for a bit.

Reet, so I'm not that arsed about who we actually do bring in given my current enthusiasm levels but thought I'd throw some names out rather than just shitting on other people's suggestions. Jordy Clasie from Feyenoord would be my first shout for a Cabaye replacement, given that he's the closest thing I've seen to him this season. He's only 22, has 2 years left on his current deal, is in a league we'll be aware of and is pushing for a starting place at the World Cup this summer. Plays the game very similar to Cabaye, albeit from a deeper role, but I wouldn't be surprised if we're well aware of him. May need another year or two in the Eredivisie, but seems to have everything to his game bar perhaps stamina from what I've seen. Jean-Paul Boetius and Tonny Vilhena from the same club may also be worth a look, the former being a 20-year-old flying winger who can play on either side and the latter a mobile left-footed central midfielder. He's only 19, though, so both may be too young to make the jump so soon, Unbelievable will be better placed than me to comment on all three, but I've seen Feyenoord a decent number of times this season and they've always caught the eye. Davy Klaassen from Ajax is 21 and has a lot of Kevin Nolan traits about him. Could see him getting goals if given the same sort of freedom he has now, but not entirely convinced about his all-round game aside from that. He wouldn't be the most inspiring signing but can see him having a decent career. I really like Ezequiel Schelotto, who is owned by Inter but has spent all season out on loan, but he may be too Jonas-like for a lot on here. He's better technically, though shares the "El Galgo" moniker due to his style. Would be right up our street in terms of "hard-working wide man". From closer to home I've already mentioned Oussama Assaidi and Marko Arnautovic before, the former we'd probably have more chance of landing than the latter, but both would be players who could bring some extra creativity and invention. Jordan Mutch may be another one to take a punt on, given the season he's had, plus the fact his contract seems to be up next year. Good fantasy league player but is actually impressive in terms of his all-round play and is still young. The only serious suggestions I could make from the SPL would be Charlie Mulgrew and Virgil van Dijk from Celtic, but I highly doubt the former would come here to be a bit-part player and the latter appears to have a lot going for him but the quality in the division is so poor it's difficult to tell if he's the real deal or not. Finally I'll hoy Majeed Waris out there as well, for a livewire striking option. Not getting enough minutes at Spartak Moscow and has done well on loan at Valenciennes since the turn of the year, scoring 9/16. Only 22, should be heavily involved for Ghana this summer and it could be a good time to get him with his confidence high and form good. Shit away, folks.

It's on Radio Newcastle too.

The actual trophy lift got me, proper ripple of applause went around the place.

Get Christie Elliott in then, local lad too if we are going down that route of daft signings Sticking to my original criteria of game time I can't advocate this. Plus he's gubbins. Shaun Hutchinson, then we'll talk.

I'm totally sold now. Apologies to Luca.

I'll take the heat for the Nigel suggestion but Evans is quality. Just a good solid all-round footballer. Just so bang average man. So average. 29 and never played outside of the US.

I'm coming around to the idea.

Based on that progression he should be ready to sign for us in about 20 years. Might be past it by then.

Hey, at least there's some logic behind it. Was hoping the answer was just going to be "bought him on FIFA and he's been class for me". Better than the Brad Evans shout, I suppose, but still poor. 2/10 wnb.

Come on guys, we're still young.

Nice polite round of applause.

One day, lads.

He can probably spell his name right, tho.

Because if Hull won it's another nail into the coffin of NUFC's stupid "no point trying in cup competitions" mantra. Not everything revolves around nufc you know. Why wouldn't it? I don't care about Arsenal's trophy 'drought'. All I care about is NUFC. Yeh ok you wanted Hull to win because you care about nufc. Think people just general support the underdogs, marra. Nothing to get upset about and it surely doesn't mean we all "hate Arsenal".

He seems nice as well.
