He wouldn't be a shock as such.

Aye.

"Ranger calibre": maybe a youth player with potential? So probably Lua Lua/Vuckic.

Maybe Harper? EDIT: scrap that, just saw Douglas' following tweet.

That is brilliant

Definitely. There's absolutely no reason to even consider selling Colo.

Don't believe that like.

oh I hope not, but this being NUFC, anything can happen

Nice one.

Go on then http://i55.tinypic.com/10giedv.jpg

:lol: wow.

Hope we actually start the season on a Saturday at 3pm.

Not highly, but he's better than the rest of the rot we have and at this moment

I'd take Best over McFadden any day.

Hmmm, nah.

Don't think so, whoever we bring in as the "big name striker" (from one of the European leagues) will get it imo (maybe Erdinç).

Can't believe they're actually going to appoint McLeish :mackems:

Will be a good signing if he's brought in purely as back-up.

This. I'm quite confident that we'll bring in Erdinç by the end of next month (could be misplaced optimism on my part ). But I am sure we'll bring in another striker during this transfer window.

If he's on a reasonable wage and is signed as the "second choice" striker, then it is a decent signing. There's always going to be questions about his knee however..........we'll see what happens I guess but all in all, I'm happy about this signing

I think the club's offer of £55k until 2015 was more than fair. Indeed but quoting M4 again:

I would have liked Barton but after seeing him captain a game this season (shout and scream at everyone) I'm not sure he's the right option. At other times, he has done okay as captain. Man U at home being an example.
