never mind then. I read on twitter earlier today he's travelled(/ing) with them to Bournemouth He is.

We might be bringing Saivet back man. Calm doon.

Probably,but you know that's never going to happen. He's not in their squad.

Shame he has the body of a chocolate santa though. Well, yes.

In this case apparently not. I think loan deals will be less stringent and of course we have rather recent medical records of Townsend. Word is that he doesn't have to be on Tyneside in order for us to get it done.

I've no doubt that De Jong has twice the footballing brain of Mitrovic.

Or know fuck all and make stuff up.

That was Graves.

Keith Downie taking the piss now like.

Hope we get this recalled loan over the line. Im sure they are working tirelessly to pull that coup off.

All the local journo's have clearly just been briefed.

Wonder who they will end up with? Duncan Ferguson?

45

Rafa wanted him gone in the summer, he's wanted to leave for 2 years and he's shite.

Talking about it on SSN next. Will be the usual guff though.

Aye he did.

One of the bairns could play instead and do a better job. He's a knacker man. They did though, and we lost 3-0 to Oxford. Aye, that's why we lost to Oxford, because Tiote wasn't playing.

One of the bairns could play instead and do a better job. He's a knacker man.

It is possible that they have a numbers limit in the squad. One in, one out or whatever. Perhaps we are signing a centre mid replacement.

Gone apparently, 2 year deal. Somewhere in China.

Normally I'm really negative about deadline day but since Rafa is here I'm just thinking this one might be different. Dunno, just a hunch.

Aye Caulkin is sound but I think it's more disappointment from Rafa's side, rather than betrayal.

This is the bit that annoys us as fans though. Say they want a loan fee of 1m or whatever and we decide to haggle over it. That 1m (which is peanuts these days), could be a clincher for our promotion should we pay it and sign Townsend. I understand them want wanting to avoid wasting money but there is a time and a place. Wonder how much of a loan fee would have to pay? What's the going rate, these days?

Because, he is a football person and he cares about how he spends his life, what he does with his life, and he intends to get us promoted. Then, if the rumours of the recent Ashley involvement in transfers policy are true (as seems worryingly likely) then he will be off . . . straight away. So he's quite happy to be a patsy in the short term ? He's not the man I thought he was then, He is the man I thought he was. Read what I wrote again. Rafa has standards of life, unlike some other football managers, one in particular who just "upped and left us" . . twice. Seriously, stop it.
