We definitely don't make good use of the loan system re: outgoings. Even when we do loan players out, it tends to be right down the divisions which is not as much use as the likes of Arsenal, Spurs, Man Utd loaning players to other Premier League clubs and getting top flight experience. Have we ever loaned a player to another Premier League club other than the dreaded Lua Lua incident? Robert to Portsmouth?

CTB.

Fair enough really.

Finally seen the incident. A harsh red card imo. There was a little bit of contact though so I guess as is the rules these days, any sort of contact on a player off the ball is deemed as "violent conduct".

I have no idea what its saying but the pictures cracked me up Same

Is the number 38 in one of the photos, Phil Airey?

Great potential, never really fulfilled. Interesting. Would he have what it takes to play in the PL/can he fulfill his talent here?

I remember being somewhat proud at the time It was mainly because it was a Newcastle United frontline starting upfront for England.

Woop, I'm looking forward to his interviews already

Simon "Cunt" Bird is at it again I see.

Ah I missed this thread (not). Should we expect tweets from cwarr07?

A couple of loan deals couldn't hurt like. I'm all for loans mainly because they would provide much needed cover in some positions. A permanent signing and a loan or two would do me this January.....

It was the England-Brazil game where the front 2 was indeed Smith and Owen (it was also the first senior England international match at the new Wembley!). It was England - Germany where both started as strikers and where Owen missed some clear chances. Wasn't that the first at new Wembley? Nope, it was the England-Brazil game which was the first senior international at the new Wembley. I remember it because I was invited to the game by a couple of mates, couldn't make it though because I had an exam the next morning. Booo.

Just seen this update on Obertan, all I can say is, f***'s sake! FWIW, I'm basically of the same opinion as Dave: There is literally nothing else but an injury to Obertan that will force Pardew to make changes to the personnel/system.

What a post brummie

Don't do it Pards, Smith has to be let go!

Solid pairing tbh

So it's actually happening? :celb:

:lol:

See ya Alan. we'll still be paying the majority of his pay. Indeed, by releasing him early, he'll still have a generous payoff........

Ha, nice

See ya Alan.
