HawK

It would had been his own fault completely. If you don't do due diligence then you deserve to lose x amount of money. absolutely agree neesy. I was more thinking If he ahdnt bought and we stuck with fat fred, would we have ended up like Rangers? The old cliche, but more like Leeds to be honest. With a swish of Portsmouth thrown in for good measure, and a sprinkling of Plymouth Argyle.

A handsome, self-made billionaire having a great (albeit drunken) time. What's the point? Exactly that, he just doesn't give a f***. Edit: And he knows no-one can be bothered to stop him.

Very good =)

Bellamy/Kluivert

It's a good change to see players decline after they leave, it's still ingrained into me to have seen the likes of Ginola, Ferdinand, Speed (RIP), Bellamy off the top of my head go on to still be successful elsewhere after the board were supposedly 'cashing in'. These kind of transfers have gladly stopped now, for whatever reason, whether it be luck or good common sense. I agree Duff is where he was when he left - a s*** player who has completely lost his game. Milner, none of us can disagree that 10m was a very good price for the lad, and for him to succeed on the back of us making good money on him, I am not bitter. There was no way of us knowing he was going to develop the way he did. Obviously Keegan saw something and tried to stand in the way of it happening but that's another story for another thread. I think the fee we got for N'Zogbia was good under the circumstances, in that because of JFK he was never going to play for us again, and I feel a bit relieved he hasn't gone on to be a world beater, but who's to say he couldn't have gone on to emulate Milner's development to some degree. /Ramble Beye was great for us and the last good RB we've had for a long time.

Can't agree with the entirety, but you do make some valid points. It was a big risk and we've been lucky with how well the team has gelled, although you could say that's down to Mr Carr's fantastic player profiling. I don't have any ill-feeling towards Barton, when he had the shirt you couldn't discount his performances, he was pivotal in our first season back and for that I'll always be thankful. However, I don't wish him back, as I've believe we've developed beyond what he offers on the pitch and obviously unsettles the club.

Na, Pardew has come out and said quite openly he's a player he wants to fulfill a role in the team. He'll walk into the side.

But was it in January and <2 degrees celsius?

I am from Cape Town (It's in South Africa for those t*** that barely leave the house) and I am chuffed. I was convinced we would not be getting a striker in this window but I am happy to be proven wrong in this case. The disabled and elderly? Harsh.

What 35m?

Fuck no, that made it lol

For a very long time, only Jonas has been able to do that for us.

Eh? So how does rooneys count in the euros? Because Rooney's was in a qualifier, Tiote's was in a friendly. I still dont get that, a straight red, unless appealed should be a 3 match ban, to not get any ban for choking someone is ridiculous. Tiote might as well have punched him to the floor and started kicking him in the face...just a friendly after all. Not really. It's similar to European Cup(s)' suspensions for players in that they don't affect the domestic league.

I'm here and f***ing delighted it wasn't.

Daft Punk can make anything sound epic

The quality of that WHL cam, jesus.

As said before I'm not convinced it's entirely down to Pardew he hasn't played out there, but hopefully now Ben Arfa has seen how more effective he is in the English game from a wide position, he'll relish it more.

That's how I feel about Obertan. Seems most other people see him in a different way. After criticising people who were saying he should be in the side yesterday, I'm surprised you have even shown up in this thread. I never said he shouldn't be in the side. I said it's not fair to call Raylor and Simpson crap and someone who had only played 3 games brilliant. Sometimes when you're wrong it's better just to hold your hands up and say fair play. That would be now for you. to be honest he has a fair point. I was going to make a reply, typed out 2 sentences, then I thought I just can't be bothered. What's happened to this forum

I'd be more embarassed of having Brady in the board-room than Ashley, I feel sorry for their fans :/

Maybe he means squash

Just like enrique did, but got slated for doing it.

Was at an antenatal class for this one, come back to see the result..
