Refresh. Refresh. Refresh.

You've just taken another hour away from atleast 20 people who read this board.

It's James Taylor I think.

Already being discussed in the realistic summer targets thread.

Shields Gazette run the same stories as the Chronicle.

Highlights of games would cost extra money to broadcast on TV (because of the existing TV deals) so you'd need a very large subscriber list to make it viable. As already stated MUTV do this but that channel makes a loss.

why? Considered as one of Liverpool's best prospects who they've handed a 3-year deal too. They may consider loaning him out but at the moment they seem very impressed with him and I highly doubt they are willing too sell him.

Would only be able to show non-competitive matches because of the TV deals. Basically it would be a glorified version of NUFC World but with phone-in shows on in the evening. Not sure if we'd be replying old games as MUTV do but some other clubs don't.

No chance of us getting him.

Your judging these problems based on reading about him in the papers for 2 weeks? Personnally I don't think he's done anything wrong, he's 27 so this will be his last major payday so what so wrong with him trying to get every penny he possibly can.

Have we learnt nothing? Signed Duff after an injury ravaged year and he's subsequently hardly played and never regained that high standard. Emre, Dyer and Viduka have laso been perma-crocks over the last few seasons. The last thing we need is an aging player with a poor injury record. We've seen with Emre that even if you have the footbaling talent if you can't get n the pitch then your useless.

Do you feel that Boothroyd might be losing it a bit? I thought he was one of the best young managers a few years back but he seems to have lost it now, I saw some comments from him recently saying that he didnt think he needed an assistant manager, which to me is a mistake. Also a lot of Watford's best players have been sold and Boothroyd's buys havent been the best.

A striker. Not sure who like, I wouldn't have minded Crouch. Also a creative central midfield player, again not sure who.

Don't rate him.

Correct me if im wrong but I don't think those are the quotes that were said by Keegan. I thought he said something along the lines of their is nothing to talk about at the moment but their will be in 10 days.

He's played a season in this league and not really done much to shout about. Hardly the same as Bentley is it. The only comparison is that he was let go by one of the top 4. Compare him to Bentley in 3 years when he's one of the best players in the league. Norwich were in the Premier League when Bentley was there iirc.

He'll fit right in here. I can't recall seeing him play so I won't pass judgement but the lack of assists could be down to the fact that Bolton scored a pathetic amount of goals after Anelka left.

I suppose he's not too bad for £2m.

Hopefully we've paid £2m at an absolute maximum.

Right now we can't afford to sell as we only have Duff who can play on the left wing and at the moment N'Zogbia is also our backup LB.

Best shape of his life my arse

Fingers firmly crossed.

Wise in Dubai is turning into the new Keegan in California. Depending on who you listen to he's been in Dubai for weeks.

Sidwell has completed his move to Villa.

"people from Newcastle, not some cave in afghanistan"? sounds a bit of a dodgy quote to me! Why would Ashley tell a local paper in the London area anything? If he was going to talk to a local paper it would be the "Newcastle Evening Chronicle" not the jellied-eeels "London Evening Standard" Grief!!! it was part of a wider thing to do with sports worlds results. on that note i understand his holding is up to 72% But, why would he speak to a L O C A L evening rag in London?? His company is based in London. He lives in London. Just a thought. Plus who in their right mind would want to talk to Oliver I agree about Oliver!! BUT, if he wants to talk to a LOCAL paper (about Newcastle United) he would not talk to a local from way down there. He would talk to the nationals, or to a local here in Newcastle. Some people (who quote from it) do not realise that the Jellied Eeels Standard, is a LOCAL RAG (because it is based down there!!) . . . . It might be "local" but it has a massive readership, including people who work in the city which makes it an ideal place to talk about the Sports Direct stuff. Also as mentioned before these quotes haven't just been given to the Standard they are on the websites of a few broadsheet papers.
