"Unserstand"? OP update ffs.

We didn't think the bid would be accepted, so offered him s*** wages to ensure the deal didn't go through the truth behind this would be interesting. is there any proof we even bid ? SSN dude said the Twente president said there had been a bid. How substantial that is, is anyone's guess. As usual, we'll never know! Ashley might have a relationship with the Twente president after Tiote and just asked him to leak that "info" to the press.

Pulis, man. Still trying to "evolve" Stoke's play. Just wants Premiership stability first, right?

Next person to complain about N-O thread moderation gets excommunicated to RTG.

Seal of approval. Honestly is a cut above.

I loved that little bit from SSN. How the Mackems heard it. "Yes, to the North-East we go... ...but it's not about Sunderland, but their more illustrious neighbours, Newcastle! Everyone's favourite team, the Barca of the North!"

Berbatov or Klasnic £8m

Bruce eating their transfer fees.

Aw, would have liked Arteta to have gone to Arsenal.

Leave, and score lots elsewhere Also, rediscover pace, stamina and liveliness

Gyan transfer request

Since when did that expression mean 'pissing yourself laughing'? Well you must be 'pissing yourself laughing' at your own club as Crouch is better than anything you have by a distance, he would walk into your team. C'mon Wearyside, you normally dress your wind-ups up a little better than that. F for effort on that one. Nothing to wind you up about, Crouch is better than anything you have. Enjoy Macheda with your £35m. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0qm5Z4srID8/TbTWkcppdwI/AAAAAAAAAH4/3a54QSBVGig/s1600/JGKxb.png

Aye, bet Bolton are feeling they got the right shitty end of the stick having Sturridge for a year. Likewise Sunderland with Welbeck. /Have no problem with adding the option of Macheda to our strikeforce for the season. Could you miss the point any more, do you think BottleDog? I'm not sure Beren. Do tell me again what is your point actually is, and why presumably you think that cases like Sturridge for Bolton don't make a mockery of it. In this day and age, if Citeh/Man Utd/Liverpool can loan players within the division, who aren't allowed to face their parent club, they've essentially got agents at other clubs. So basically, the big clubs can use the smaller clubs within the division to take points off their rivals. Also, the big clubs get to give their youngsters/newbies time to bed in to the Premiership without having any of the risk of dropping them points. They then get first-team ready footballers back. Clubs who don't have limited resources aren't afforded the same option! We need our youngsters because we can't afford two superstars in every position! All this just serves to increase the gap between them and us, when we should be trying to bridge the gap - even if it is unrealistic. It should at least be our aim. Furthermore, I haven't seen anything of Macheda (admittedly not a great deal) to suggest he's any better than what we have here. Also, I dislike Man Utd. Also, I don't think a short-term loan is the answer to our problems. Is Macheda a replacement for Carroll in your opinion? Or is he akin to unproven entities we have enough of at the club? Sunderland are suffering having had Welbeck yanked back from them, and wouldn't be surprised if Bolton struggle for a cutting edge up front soon (though Klasnic has had a decent start to the season). I want a long-term solution for Newcastle that is engineered with us as the number one priority. Not the development of the loaned player, or for the loaning club. Of course, I have no interest in helping the bigger clubs to get bigger, but that has to run alongside the fact that Bolton and Sunderland could have been in a fair bit of trouble without those loans so I disagree that they'd agree with you that they've suffered. More importantly indeed, newly promoted teams would be severely disadvantaged if you took their ability to loan players away, thus making the divide between the divisions even greater; something I'm sure you'd be against. Out of interest, would you be just as sickened if we brought Sturridge in on loan (independently of whether we sign a permanent striker or not)? Bolton and Sunderland definitely benefited, no question, but that was ancillary to the motive/outcome of the loan IMO. You have a fair point re: newly promoted teams, so maybe concessions ought to be granted for them if they're struggling to get bodies in and they can't get them in from the lower divisions. Re: Sturridge to Newcastle. As a permanent signing, yes. I wouldn't want a loan from within the division though as I think the rules should be amended.

Staring competition between the two for who gets the starting RM spot. First to smile loses.

Fucking genius SSR.

Don't want him. Loans within the same division should be banned. If he's shit hot, he'll go back to Man Utd and be fully-ready for the rigours of the Premiership. Or we'll pay a king's ransom to keep hold of him. Load of bull.
