Hopefully he will realise that, get Ebondo, up the big for M'Bia and find a striker from somewhere! I love the optimism... pretty blind though... I hope i'm proved wrong but other than a few scrambled loan signings i can't see us bringing anyone at all in Think nobody else does either.

We need about 5 in with those two getting crocked

Well with Barton and Owen out now this should make the next couple of days interesting. Think Ashley needs to blow about 35mil to try and keep us up with those two out and given and zoggy going. He can't risk us going down

Fucking bunch of cocks! Do they learn nothing?

Well Taylor looks a bit like a single mum from belle ailse so you maybe right!

I think most peoples predictions that we'll get slaughtered are pretty well founded. Personally my optimisms peak is at scraping a draw, so if you want optimism then theres mine. All he's after is a bit of positivity tbf!

Been wanting to see Colo in that DM role since he signed, so one plus point is if he mops up well infront of Lurch and Bassong then I think the role will be his. Either way we'll know if we actually know more than those muppets running the team.

Have a good feeling about this one, we'll win 3-1 Howay the lads!

Ahh but Veloso signing means Shay's going to stay haven't you heard? Vital Footballs the nuts

We'll not get Veloso in a month of sundays. Bet after the window's slammed shut we'll have 1 freebie and 1 loan player in and that's it. 5 Window's now with this lot and nothing amazing has happened in any of them, don't see why people think it's going to change all of a sudden.

Nothing in the english press so it's just bollocks for now.

Just been watching a poo tube vid of the italian lad we've been linked with. Not many goals to his name, but fuck me can he strike a ball.

Well if we are in for him, we hold a couple of Aces up our sleeves with Jonas and Colo.

So the posibility of a right back and holding midfielder is a step in the right direction, although we still need a decent creative midfielder or maybe 2 and ship out the likes of Smith and N'zogbia. Either way this is going to be an interesting week and we may see Derek actually do some work for once.

Cause they're whinging surrender monkeys! (Oh and before any of you jump on a racist bandwagon then that last bit is not aimed at black players)

Yes if he still has his pace of course. Scored some crackers in his time although a few years back Look on the bright side then, he could provide an alternative to Martins. Or as a 4-3-3 Martins Lovenkrands Owen

Peter Govankrands

Hmmm trialist b and e I reckon

Might work

All I will say on the lad is if he still has that pace then it will open allot more doors than we've been seeing. If I was Kinnear and Given is wanting out i'd suggest to Man city a straight swap for Elano and get Mbia in for the price his club wants. That would leave us with a forward line of Mbia Jonas Elano Lovenkrands Owen Martins I think that would keep us afloat to the end of the season.

Why go for a side that wins things, surely we would be a better proposition? Won't cost as much and actually to get us to win something would be the biggest buzz they could acheive in football

Even though fighting for survival, Newcastle is still in a fantastic league, has a massive fan base, pays ridiculous wages and is surrounded with just as much glamour as any club outside the top 4. The club is in no worse position to attract players than Fulham were last winter, and they bought plenty. Many ambitious players in the lesser leagues would jump at the chance of joining the club. Yeah I think I can see them lining up already!

impossible, he doesn't talk He does deals through the medium of mime http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/images/2007/09/24/20070924_i01.jpg Take Alan Smith and we'll give you 3 million

No intention to do so I think. Ashley's quite happy to let us take a gamble to the end of the season, he just needs to be ready for the huge backlash heading his way.
