I did realise but I thought "meh" Think we'll sign two players next month tbh. I'm expecting Ridgewell and another player (defender). Cissokho, as much as I would love him here seems to be out of our price range.

Great Goes without saying, obviously, but that's pretty f***ing abysmal. They'll have had a year and a half to replace Carroll by the time next summer comes around. Inexcusable really.

What's 7th worth though An extra couple of mill in prize money? A fixture list in Europe that will see our prem league position plummet I would rather us have a good crack at the domestic cups It also makes the club more capable of convincing potential signings to come, and existing good players to stay (though that's far from a priority it seems). You can show them the league table and say 'look at us, we're in a good position to push on and we think you'll help us do that'. Do you think we got Cabaye here by telling him that the target was to avoid relegation, or that finishing 14th would be acceptable? Like Dave has essentially said, finishing 7th would show ambition really. It would be a massive plus if 7th turned out to be an Europa League spot in the end too - it will indicate to potential signings that we're a club "going places".

:lol:

Sums it up really.

Don't really rate him.

Absolutely no need for that especially when we had just won and he contributed to that with an assist. Idiots.

Can only go well tbh

where has this come from? just i've seen a few people saying it but i didn't know there was a problem? some lad on RAWK was saying it as well Sore knee apparently. He'll be fine for Friday methinks.

Seriously, how does Dalglish "inspire" his players with that boring voice?

Fair point tbf. Indeed.

This I think.

Here is said tweet from Douglas: Mark Douglas @MsiDouglas Mark Douglas No bid made for Aly Cissokho from #nufc, despite 'French reports'. Defender is in the UK but Toon not in yet. Would cost £10m plus I reckon

Tiote in front of that and that's arguably one of the leagues best defensive units. With Saylor, Williamson, Simpson and Raylor as backups we would finally have depth. Still seems like wishful thinking mind. Probably wishful thinking yes but we can dream.....

Tbh, whilst I'm very disappointed and frustrated, I'm not surprised that we've called off the striker hunt. As soon as the Maiga deal collapsed, I had a little feeling that we weren't going to pursue anyone else (despite what Douglas/Ryder's tweets said otherwise). Our alleged other targets would cost about £10 million + and we all know very well that such a price is no go with Ashley. Someone said it before, guess we put all our eggs in one basket with Maiga. "We tried."

Out of the Cup methinks.

Brilliant I'm suddenly upbeat about our chances of getting something from this game. Bellamy will be the main worry tbh.

Oh well.......don't worry lads we've still got this lad: http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS-RHLdZc5XCiv8VHSNsM2tg_k5vsoy9VYS7Bujvvy3zvOb-NJbi9TL0sqa

Congrats Joey. (The name Cassius though, hmmm).

Don't jinx it (Although I may have started such proceedings a few pages back......)

Didn't know he was Boumsong's cousin, strong footballing family Really? Strong footballing tradition indeed
