Okay, so he says it's not for him "at this time". Things could very well change but I reckon he'll still be with us for the whole of next season at the very least.

I sincerely hope this isn't true.

All this over-analysis man. f*** sake.

Pardew has said he doesn't want the England job and he'll stick by that I reckon.

He's a good squad player so I'm all for him signing a new contract.

:lol: That can't be real :lol:

That poster is an ignorant dick. Yeah, that post wouldn't look out of place on RTG.

Yep, it is all ifs and buts. What I envisage in January is that we'll probably sign 2/3 players. So, I reckon Maiga is pretty much a done deal; I think we'll get Ridgewell in the end (he has been mentioned recently in the press) - will be a decent signing as he'll be able to cover both CB and LB. Don't think we'll sign Pieters though unless we really want to sign a LB. The third player could very well be further defensive cover, not sure really! We'll see.

If we are loaning out of youngsters to gain experience, it would be counter productive to recall them to sit on the bench due to injuries plus I have a feeling that having spent a net half a million pounds in the summer and not getting the striker we craved, Derek and his "dominoes" have a few irons in the fire here. It should also be evident thatg an injury to Saylor or Colo could have serious consequences for us. That is why I think someone like Peeters rather than a Ridgewell is targeted in january as well as forwards. Furthermore, with the club refusing to meet Danny Simpson's contract demands, I can see us selling him in January to someone like QPR or Villa or someone of that ilk and replacing him with a better option. Indeed it could be counter-productive to recall the youngsters but if the injury list happens to grow, we won't have much choice but to recall them. Plus they'll certainly have more a chance of playing in the first team if injuries/suspensions do indeed hit us hard. Regarding the Simpson situation, I wouldn't believe what the Sun has written a couple of hours ago. Of course, Simpson's contract issue isn't really news but things could very well change in the next few months.

The thing with player loans is that we can easily recall them if need be. Of course though, we'll have to actually specify the recall option in the loan contract.

The Sun's sensationalism As I've said before, I do rate Simpson so I'd actually prefer if he signs a new contract. If anything, he'd be a good back up. His recent performances have been great so as it stands, he's still first choice. If his overall performance this season doesn't really improve on last season's, then we should probably be looking at someone else to be first choice RB.

Ah the Silver Fox

Just seen that it was Wireside who posted that. :lol:

An interview with Ba (from the matchday programme on Saturday):

Almost sure that Dalglish has some input in transfers too. I imagine Kenny has to approve suggestions by Commoli before anything happens. So it's quite annoying that Liverpool fans are quick to blame Commoli for any sort of flops even though Dalglish should probably share some of the blame like.

But it's all Commoli's fault!

It would be absolutely brilliant. For one thing, it'll be seen as a big fuck you to Enrique and Carroll

Messily, presumably.

Honestly have no clue what it is. An atrocious reality TV show about Essex. Bit like Geordie Shore.
