I wonder whether the slight delay in announcing signings is anything to do with the time difference to Saudia Arabia... Hopefully another 8am reveal. HTL

Hopefully, like with Trippier, the actual fee turns out to be less than initially reported...

First.. May the battle continue today!

Must be on his way. Expected him to play as a goodbye to the fans. Disappointing.

Any chance of some chants along the lines of hoping he has a heart attack?

Relatively pleased that he's staying tbh. It was a terrible season but I'm happy to give him another year. If we improve the squad, we should be mid table to top 10 again.

I'd like to see him get until the end of the season. Yes he's been useless but there's nobody available to take over, and the unrest with a change of manager is far from ideal. Over the next few weeks, our more important players should start to return. Pardew has said he'll play Cisse through the middle, so hopefully no more Ameobi.

Frustrating because we had a good chance to push on and keep up, but Chelsea and Spurs have improved. We still have a great core to our team. Beat Villa on Sunday and hopefully have Tiote fit after the break. HOWAY THE LADS!

Sadly, I think AC is going to be our only signing before the deadline. I don't particularly want him back although it would be handy with multiple competitions this year. I'm predicting and undisclosed fee in the region of £14m. I'd much rather we paid extra to get Debuchy than bring Andy back.

What's our rate of conceding with and without him?

Steven Taylor to score in a 2-1 win. HOWAY THE LADS!!!

"We was.."

Delighted he's signed. Very useful player to have in our squad and a great professional, never any issues with him.

Unrelated but is that picture genuine? And if so, where can I get a big version of it?

Nice touch from the Arsenal fans.

That second one is quality. Hope that takes off.

Just realised I've been in this thread for about 4/5 hours? I'm off for some food, I'll be back to read Pardew's smug quotes.

Mark Douglas >>>> David Craig.

Wish him well, he was a great player for this club.

Are we signing them too? That'd be a Pardew signing, the silver haired fox.

Pardew's arc. 2 Dembas, 2 Ameobis, 2 Taylors.

There's a Facebook page dedicated to his move to Newcastle...

Maybe he has two dodgy knees? *forever alone meme*

SSN better get a picture up of him arriving at the ground. TEAM FULL OF DEMBAS!!!
