any idea on time?

he looked attrotious in the first team performances he played this year. Contributed nothing at all to the team. Think its safe to say hes never gonna be world class Cant see him doing as well as thingy at cardiff.

we should be trawling through talent in romania, and poland. They are the 2 biggest EEU countries and ones where the people grow to more than dwarf height. Hungary has good players too, but they dont come for chicken feed, for grannys farm type prices.

"so why would arsenal consent to signing him on loan with option to buy for 15million, than just 13million here and now?" Yeah they might see through that one. Or they might be happy to spend the 13m elsewhere this season.....rumour has it their finances are on a knife edge. The crux of my plan is to hoodwink martins into signing new contract. (which nufc are trying to do anyway) The only leverage we do have is to ask him nicely. oba plz sign for us, but its ok we will letyou go to arsenal anyway. Guess its look more and more likely hes going.....

"why do we do that, instead of just keeping him?" because blondie its very likely hes thinking about moving to arsenal anyway. atmo we would only get 13m for him.

The key to this for me, is its tactical advantage to have "top 4" teams beating our uefa cup opponents. Therefore we could do the same with owen to manu

Thinking about what we should do with martins.... Make him sign a new contract without the clause. However we should then loan him to arsenal with an option to sell him for 15m+ appearance fees. I am not sure if this could be made dependant on us being in europe or not. IF we do make it to uefa slot then he can stay here, otherwise we take the dosh and run. The advantage is he wont be able to play against us in the league, and we get more than 15m for him if he does wanna leave. An assuming we will sign guddy guddy blonde boy, or someother half decent striker.(in next few weeks) ALso wenger will have some time to make himinto a better player, which we could then benefit from; its a gamble but better than just getting 13m.

poor poll choice. infact it looks like rigged poll tbh. Guddy + good striker. imo. AM not sure there is much point in keeping 2 disloyal strikers, and owen can be pathcy formwise, not value for money anymore.

boot the ugly little gnome out plz !

tnx)

list not up at nufc com yet. 3 weeks to our first friendly, right?? anyone got the list )

we should use that money towards another shurker er i mean striker before we lose one in jan.

"You mean loan Carroll out surely?" Well no i didnt mean that. I dont think ameobi has any future at this club. Unless he suddenly produces some miraculous ability we are unawre of then hes just not up to standard. We need to get him(ameobi) games inorder to demonstrate hes recovered from his operation, then he can be sold on for 3m+ to some promotion club. (someone might be stupid enough to pay it!) ATmo its unclear if carroll has enough talent to survive at prem lvl, my gut says yes. He seems like he could make an excellent rotation striker. Could be great for us in cup games, uefa qualifiers etc. However i see your point, he might sink if we throw him into the fray too early, but i dont think hes that fragile, and in my plan he would be the 4th striker in line anyway. He wont be under huge pressure to perform.

its starting to look very likely that owen and martins will be leaving. So VIduka and kanoute +carroll + 15m striker. Loan ameobi out. SHould be enough cover, as viduka will miss 40% the season, given his injury record.

i cant see that fact tbh. ALthough i think 13m is a bit low. 15m or more would be more palatable.

better to get rid asap. Before some mafia hitman takes him out midseason. 13m is not a bad deal for nufc.

yup

Nigeria is one messed up country. ofcourse this could have been a revenge act by GR blaming oba for us not scoring in uefa cup game, and thus losing the players and eventually his job. tbh this could act in our favour, if he is put off appearing in internationals for a while.

HOur(glass) defense is like wet gold dust, slipping through the gnarled arthritic fingers of some crusty old fortyniner.

hmm i might try barter books at alnwick, probably a long shot, but worth a go i guess

the only people happy about all this will be the solicitors. raking it in as per bloody normal.

Thinking of buying the highlights dvd from 96/97 is it possible to get it for under 15 quid. i am guessing the club shop will charge top rate?!

gonna be an uproar whatever they decide!

i used to live in a house with a menagery of bizare characters, and one was a wigan supporter (back in 1998 this is) and when he was drunk, he would keep coming up to me and asking how des hamilton was doing. He never let me forget the moment disco des fell over the ball. Against barcelona i thinkit was!

"He worked really hard all night, but his crossing was s*** imo." nothing new there then!
