building up suspense? Can't wait

Thanks for the summary M4 (Haven't really bothered to listen to it myself )

Lee Ryder @lee_ryder Lee Ryder #nufc I think the plan was always for Williamson to play first half only, but looked a bit rusty after so long out, not sure if Sat too soon

I would prefer Simpson to stay. I think the lad is a decent enough player and is a competent enough RB for me. He does have about two years left on his current contract so he could yet change his mind. In the future, if we end up moving Santon to RB and sign a new LB, then Simpson would be great back up for RB. But as it stands, if he wants to go then we can't really stop him though really can't see him leaving in January. He is our first choice RB atm and don't think Pardew will let him go.

That's crap news. Best of luck to the lad.

Yet he hadn't been training with the first team squad for months, he's not likely to be rushed straight into the thick of things - it would do his confidence more harm than good. This isn't football manager, if Kadar's attitude or training hasn't been up to standard, we're not suddenly going to go back on everything just because we've not got a recognised CB. Preferred position or not, without the months of training, Premier League standard of fitness/match practice, lack of experience - Kadar is not going to make a difference on his own. This is the real world, not a computer game. If there's a future for him (and I'd like there to be), he needs to do whatever it is that the club want of him in order to be training with the first team squad. First choice (captain, even) for the reserves and 'banging on the managers door' (TM - L.Best) for a match day 18 place. He was training with the first team for a few weeks now as far as I'm aware and yes he's probably not up to the PL standard fitness-wise due to his injury problems a few months back but I still would have had him on the bench on Saturday. He has played for the Hungary U21s recently so his fitness should be okay. Also if there are problems with his attitude, then maybe the feeling of being involved in the first team might just give him some sort of kick up the backside to try and force his way into the team. Probably wishful thinking mind. We don't know what's gone on behind the scenes regarding his attitude but for me he still remains a good future prospect and one which I hope we'll keep a hold of.

The stats of ben arfa is good for mifdfield or winger but he plays not lot of game in season 25 (perhaps the coach don't like a player who say shut up pardew bitch never ben arfa had played season clash with coach every time) 109 games holder 63 x decisive (30 goals and 33 assists ) For 120 min play/ one goal or assist for example nasri 300 min plays for one goal or assist example sanchez 130 min play/for on goal or asssist.Every year ben arfa plays >= 8 goals 8 assist for 25 games The only problem he comes back injury if he not plays he is not recovery Yeah Hughsey. Shut up.

Well Bendtner has always pretty much been a twat off the pitch.... http://i.thisislondon.co.uk/i/pix/2009/05/bendtner-500x700.jpg

With a run games, he'll be fine. He showed some promising signs against Norwich so I'm optimistic that he'll be a fantastic signing in the end. Still young as well so he can get better.

I'm not entirely optimistic that Kadar will stay beyond his current contract like. The fact that he wasn't even on the bench for the Norwich game is worrying signs for the lad. He must have thought that he was in contention for at least a place on the bench considering he was the only fit CB available. Most of us wanted him to start too though now as it stands, don't think he'll be starting for the first team any time soon. Shame.

Still ongoing as far as I'm aware. Took about 2-3 months for a verdict when Emre got charged by the FA 4 years ago.

Indeed......

Excellent news EDIT: actually won't get carried away and accept this as definite just yet. Colin Young does have a history of talking s***.....

Does that mean Ba will get it? Wouldn't mind that really, especially if it meant something to him. Hopefully. Though Ba doesn't mind what number he's got really.

Nope, I don't think so. Think I remember Pardew saying that a striker needs to prove himself to be worthy of the number 9.

Should permanently attach one of those leg collars to Suarez's leg tbh.

Too good to turn down and all of that s****. If Ba keeps on banging them in the way he has, how long before the Tiote rumours change to him btw? It's f***ing horrible that we're even talking about this, but with those in charge, it's something that will always be at the back of our minds. If we want to get anywhere, we need to entertain any ideas that these offers are too good to turn down. Spurs have proven that with Modric - who I think is a class little player, but he's not worth £40 million pound, yet they knew he was more valuable to them than that. That's what we need to start doing. Absolutely.

Me, pretty confident we won't sell anyone in January - it's just a feeling I have. Of course, there will be plenty of rumours in the press but I reckon we'll be fine (just). EDIT: then again, there is that worry of an offer being "too good to turn down". Still, I'm 95% sure we won't sell anyone.

d Cutting words from the man whose team play at Goodison Park. Shut up or he'll pelt you with coins. That's our transfer budget.

sign all of them

Hmmm. Guess that sounds positive. The Maiga news will be him arriving in Toon for a medical; the Tiote camp will probably say Cheik is going nowhere.
