OFFICIAL!!! :frantic: :frantic: :) :naughty:

He wont fly out to anywhere before everything is decided more or less i imagine.

20 years old Youngish! Done pretty much so far for his age.

I'm ok with Santon leaving IF we sign a quality LB.Cannot see us going for one though. Jetro Willems please!

Siem de Jong: "McClaren likes us to keep the ball, which is different to the previous set-up" Might be totally wrong, but i have a feeling that Anita will have an important role for us. Whatever some of you say i have a lot of belief in Anita as a player and in a functional football team with a manager who believes in him i have high hopes that he'll show that he's more than good enough!

These high expectations will make it sooo much better when he fails at Palace! God i'm gonna enjoy it!

First friendly against poor opposition but i thought i'd post it anyway. Sounds like a typical Colback performance... "Anita looked extremely composed and dictated the midfield in the first half. The Dutch midfielder was constantly looking for the ball and started most of the Newcastle attacks. Playing alongside Colback the pair looked comfortable together, frequently rotating between who would stay or push on. Anita gave a performance that resembled a man not happy to sit on the bench next season." "Colback seemed to take it easy tonight and although was typically comfortable on the ball he didn’t do much to impress. The centre midfielder formed a nice partnership with Anita but the latter was more impressive on the ball tonight." http://whatculture.com/sport/gateshead-0-1-newcastle-nufc-match-ratings.php I have no idea who this dude is.

If he doesn't want to come here i can't blame him! Don't know much about his character though...Also, sometimes players who think highly of themselves can be really good at the big stage. They don't give a shit who they are playing against, they are still confident mor often than not. Cannot be too much of an ass like Balotelli though.

IF we get him and he does well i can imagine that it wont take long before his agent starts trying to get him a new club straight away, just my gut feeling! I guess it's "good" we're used to not have good players for long

They will probably mention him in an email from McClaren..

Well, he's the only one who can fly a spaceship tbf.

Wow, Colback looks up for it, makes a two footed dribble past two players and then plays a sublime through ball to Cissé!

Good run by Janmaat. He got the ball and ran 10 yards.

Gonna need a winger from the video i saw So true That's why i want a LB so badly as well.

It certainly was. Hit IT with docent power and very good precision.

No fucking way that was a penalty.

looks to have great technique when it comes to heading the ball.

Cabella's been smiling like the Joker in the photos.

I think McClaren will pick his own captain, and he'll probably try quite a few different ones to find out who he prefers.

It's a friendly I know but still annoys me like fuck

De Jong brace me thinks.

Fucking Colback as captain!!!

Joking..
