You're right about your knowledge. Rbinbo returned to city a while ago.

That mutant on twitter reckons smith won't play today.

Onouha played?

Lies of the world reckns we won't meet his wage demands. (according to twitter).

I'd be fucking delighted to see the back of smith. Woefull player.

Surely not? Why would they reject west broms offer (if there was one like).

We could certainly do with a defensive midfielder. We're going down without a creative midfielder/attacker. Spot the difference. Happy days if we get both though aye?

Agree wi most of that. Think we will address the striker situation though.

€8m? Wow

Please merge mods. Apologies.

Sorry, just seen this. Erase my thread mods!

The 'itk' on twitter reckons he's off on loan?

We're haggling over the future fee apparently. I reckon this will be sorted next week.

Or he's trying to pull a deal off. And also not trying to get into bother fr speaking to a player illegally.

Who's the twitter guy dave?

Sorry, in jesmond having medical according to caulkin. Nuffield.

Staying in jesmond according to caulkin.

Another piece of good news!

Why hasn't he put it on his Twitter feed? I didn't ask!

Simon bird just sent me this: Looks like it. He's here in newcvastle and had medical

I think that's what we all expected though, wasn't it? He said he was 3 weeks behind fitness wise Blackpool is nearly seven weeks after we signed him. It still puts him 3 weeks behind the rest though.

Watch this space, I predict great things for this chap. load of bollocks if you ask me. what did he expect in our first game, away to man utd? and for the record, id dont think bartons was a yellow, if you gage it against some of the tackles scholes put in, and got nowt for.

*wullie

Can't be arsed reading if it's already been posted. Their president apparently said ' it's important the English know they are not stupid '. We'll still strike a deal IMO. Echo what willie says though, time is of the essence.

Think that fella from the journal has taken his place.
