It's not about what's fair and what isn't. This is a football club and we need the best players playing wherever we can get them, if it means another decent player has to drop to the bench then so be it.

SWP is a terrific footballer and if we can bring him in for 6 months then that's great. Solano is too old and slow to be playing a full 90 minutes in right midfield and as much as I love Milner, SWP is a much better player.

Happy to see him go, providing we replace him.

Polygon, the company which is considering a rival bid for Newcastle, has financial links with arms companies. (Daily Express) Haven't read the whole article but I for one want our club to have nothing to do with a company that deals with arms companies.

As for Coco. We signed him on loan and then a week later he decided he didn't like England and fucked off back to Italy, so the loan was cancelled.

I'm not really expecting CL just yet. We are in a rebuilding period and as long as we continue to make progress and build up the squad I'll be happy.

On the plus side all we are doing is bringing him in to train with us for a week and their is certainly no harm in that.

Never seen him play but fron the .com report and the wikipedia site it seems like he is a striker who can't score.

Wasn't my first choice but he's done a good job so far.

Top post.

Whereas as Butt, who gave away the free kick and had several other dodgy moments, is a siant.

If Sibs cant play 30mins tonight he wants shooting. If GR couldn't see we needed to change it at 60mins as we were slipping he needs shooting. If you cant see the above two facts then you need... Problem is with Carling Cup, you don't know it was going to be just 30 mins, if it goes to extra time he's gonna have to play 60 mins. I'd rather keep him fresh for the weekend and then Tuesday.

Blaming Parker and Roeder. From my piont of view you couldn't have done anything differently, you set up an attacking side and Chelsea will rip us apart. Plus people forget Sibbers is 31, he'll do well to get through all 4 games in the festive periodwithout playing tonight. If you want to piont fingers blame the linesman who denied us the goal, Solano for getting skinned by Robben and Butt for giving away the free kick. Really however no blame should be put anywhere, it was a respectable performance against a far superior side and we were only beaten by a wonder goal.

Gonna delay the whole Carling cup as there is no free date for them until the 8th, which is when the first leg of the semi finals is due to be played.

As for the content I am just glad to hear we are going after a left back, anybody has to be better than Babayaro.

People on this forum are so kneejerk about this. Do you really think Glenn is going to go into the meeting with no idea who he is going to sign, I presume he'll go in with a list of players and Shepherd will tell whether based on the money the club has whether they are viable options or not. As for the budget I imagine he will have some idea of what he has got.

No Boumsong banner anymore.

Also, I don't the goal was a foul. The only reason Given ended up going to ground was because he was off balance and then tried to get the boll with his feet.

If you notice before and after it the goal was Babayaro marking Bouazza, he just decided he wasn't gonna bother marking him on that particular corner. The problem in general with corners is that Given doesn't ever come for anything and we are far too small.

Apparently we made a bid for Kerzhakov the other week.

Anybody know how many people are epxected at SJP for the game on Wednesday. Hope their aren't loads of empty seats for a Sky game.

*Yawn* Been discussed in other topics.

Lets be honest Sibierski is decent but not amazing. Sibiserski's main asset is his aerial skill and what Shittu did well was stop him from winning anything in the air. However I would have liked to see how he would have coped against a faster and more skillful player like Martins.

Didn't go to Plymouth because Hollaway had a look at him but then decided against taking him.
