Couldn't give a f*** if he's speaking English or not, the fact is! I think Spurs are going to go a lot further this year, the way they destroyed Roma was fantastic to see as far as watching a game of football goes and if we can play like that I would be more than happy.

They always play their best football against better oppositions, but lose points against weaker teams. Isn't it?

I see...

I was just frustrated somehow. Sorry mates. Won't happen again... 

Fuck me...I thought that this is a NUFC board. I don't give a shit about Tottenham tbh

Alot of those saying he signed hes signed calm down also look like idiots

Let's admit, that we are all idiots BTW

Would be an excellent move. In fact I wouldn't be upset if we just bought him outright for the £6 million.

 

Tiago is a holding player who is more of a playmaker. Similar in style to a Xavi Alonso or Michael Carrick. Will also score the odd goal.

 

So a line up of this would be better?

 

Jonas      Tiago       Zoggy

 

               Duff

 

Personally, I would go with this

 

------------------Martins----------------

 

Duff--------------Owen----------Jonas

 

----------Tiago-----------Barton-------

 

Warnock---Faye----Coloccini---Beye

 

 

Assuming we sign Tiago and Warnock of course!

 

 

You're forgetting Eto'o man

...and Taiwo

Don't know about everyone else, but I have my doubts that Owen behind Martins will work, I think Viduka was pivotal in the front three we had last year simply to hold it up and bring others into play, I don't think Oba can do that.

agreed

Looks like a blacker Jermaine Defoe avec dreadlocks to me.

avec??? Tu parles francais, n'est-ce pas? :-)

I still think he looks dead familiar, despite me not having a clue who he is.

 

That's what I thought. Can't put a name to his face.

Same here...

Newcastle agree Derdiyok fee with Basel

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

According to Swiss press,fee agreed(no mention on how much)

 

POSTED ON SKUNKERS- could be bollox

 

WTF? Nothing new here on the Derdiyok front... Not mentioned in the press - so it seems to be bollox.

 

Is he worth it would you say?

He has bags of potential, but atm he's struggling to score on a regular basis in the Swiss League. All the rumour stuff has probably had some bad influence on his form. I would take the risk, but only at a relatively low price....

Would be over the moon...  :thup:

 

Is it true that an agreement has been reached regarding Derdiyok?

There was definitely nothing in the swiss press.

Unfortunately he's in a bad shape at the moment BTW. Not saying he couldn't develop further, but he's already struggling a bit (in the swiss league, which definitely isn't high standard).

Would be over the moon...  :thup:

According to someone on another site he's 17 and has only just been released for a young offenders institute

 

JB in the making?!? :-/ OMG

he was the player in the stands with the dreads then.

gomis

Kevin is obviously under the impression Anton is an Argentinian then.....

That's why he said, that he won't sign South Americans... :-)

WTF? More like "Smith ends Newcastle's misery"

Devant, un doute subsiste quant à la titularisation de Bafetimbi Gomis, qui a débuté sa préparation tardivement. Il pourrait être remplacé par David Gigliotti, à son avantage lors des matches amicaux. Dimanche Lyon - Toulouse Lyon: Nombreux blessés. L'avant-centre Fred (tendinite à un genou) et l'attaquant Kader Keita (opération à un avant-bras) n'ont joué aucun match de préparation.

 

Can the people who paid attention in French class translate that bit in bold....is that saying he was late to training or that St. Etienne began their preparations without him?

 

It says that there are doubts about the availability of B. Gomis (for the friendly) because he started the preparations late....

Sorry, already been answered several times. Good night then... :-)

Has looked pretty class whenever I've seen him for NI. Haven't really seen him at Fulham much.

 

Hes super for Northern Ireland

 

Im biased tho as im from NI

 

But id like to see him in a decent team getting decent service

So, can't be us then... :-)

Ramage used facebook.

 

Fookin irony witha face like his.  Would be better served going for face block

:-))))

I really hope Warnock isn't one of the three. Obviously Coloccini is one and two others should definitely be a striker and a central midfielder.

agreed...

I don't see any valid points, why we should keep him... Get rid of that useless twat.

Thank god. I fuckin hate that club with a passion... 

 

IMO, assuming we get Coloccini, 3 more signings should follow. The names of Inler and Baptista are being bandied about, and I think both are class players who would improve our first team no doubt. Alongside these 2 names (and Im only dreaming here), I would love to have an experienced midfielder in the mould of Anatoliy Tymoschuk. The fella is a beast in midfield, and I think central midfield options of Tymoschuk, Inler, Barton, Butt and Guthrie to pick from would do very nicely for this season.

 

Break the bank for Baptista, Inler and Tymoschuk, and we've done a decent bit of summer business:

 

Jonas

Guthrie

Bassong

Coloccini

Baptista

Tymoschuk

Inler

 

 

would people be happy with that? is it realistic enough?

yes and yes
