Aye, surely he would have come out with a personal statement that he's decided to leave if this was the case? Because no way would he accept these dragged out talks otherwise, which makes me believe that there's stuff going on behind the scenes.

And I just thought that it was more or less done and that we just signed the new Dogba!

Still not sure what to believe. I guess I'm 50/50, or maybe even leaning towards that it might happen. If it does happen I'm pretty sure there will still be more than a handful of twists and turns. Can't see it happening tomorrow even though I I wish it so damn much. This is Newcastle, IF it's gonna happen we're gonna have to suffer more first

Eeeeverybody wants some Puuuushing!

Free from work today Now watch me waste another day of my life..

So strong, quick and composed. Don't think he made a single sliding tackle when playing for us At least he didn't go down very often. Very classy player.

Wonder why Rafa's so quiet.. Is he not allowed to make public comments about his contract situation anymore?

Some twitter user (lawyer) claimed that there's strong rumors of Richard Barham working on the deal with Ashley. That person then withdrew that and deleted his post. Yeah, it doesn't mean anything.

Has a thread on this forum ever reached a 100 pages this quickly? (almost 100)

Got home from work, had to work a bit so didn't check this thread until now. Just read the last 10 pages and I'm no wiser or know what to believe

If Rafa has decided to leave when his contract ends surely he would be allowed make a statement himself if he wanted, whenever?

How would the Chronicle be able to verify that the call/email actually is from the Bin Zayed Group? No idea how this kind of stuff works.

If it's not made up bullshit (which is likely) I still don't understand why they would bother to contact the Chronicle telling them stuff like this :lol:

Hope it's a similar case to when I tell my mates kid I bet that he can't get me that beer from the fridge within the next 30 seconds. He always gets me a beer

Should try and get tons of Geordie lasses to the airport to greet them with yoga pants and camel toes.

This sort of bullshit only happens at Newcastle

Say that this was true, why would the Bin Zayed group waste their time? Why would they release that statement if it was a lie and they can't afford it? Surely they have more important things to do. I would understand if this all was made up, or they were Ashley's mates or similar.

He the one from Marra-cash?

What?

Was intense for a while, but now it's just...

Actually quite funny

That's an excellent point, you fucking cunt

Today many of us have been what Kaka is basically every day on here
