STM

Exactly, can't see it happening. On the other hand didn't we bid for him in January?

I thought we were meant to be after another centre midfielder, after to links to Gardner and Matuidi? Now it's only a striker and a left midfielder? Papers know fuck all.

As long as he was honest about the situation, i'd let him leave for a free next summer. It lets us plan for next summers replacement. It's not as if we are going to see any money we get for him anyway.

I think 8th would be progress, although i'll be happy if we avoid relegation fight TBH. This is how i see the team ATM, ( i see Barton gone). Krul Simpson Coloccini Taylor Enrique Cabaye Tiote Marveaux Ben Arfa Jonas Ba

I'm amazed Pardew didn't sell Ranger in january TBH.

Just hot air from them, wanting more money. Any sensible chairman would do the same. The fact we have already talked to him (prior to making a bid) suggests that he has agreed to join us.

Aye he's a goner. Just hope we get a decent fee for him now. Shame like.

Think you'll find there were many who didn't want him prior to his supposed medical. http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=276945.0 Wasn't bothered either way myself, it's still very early in the window and I'm confident we'll get the players we need. You bothered enough to come here.

Any good?

Alreet that like. Bet it looks decent on.

Love all this french stuff... seriously.

It will be when his contract expires but i doubt whether we gave Rennes anything, if we did i imagine it was nominal. I can't see why we would if he was a free agent.

I surrender.

Bowyer would be one of the best midfielders in that league and could get quite a few goals, even at his age. Birmingham should have tried to keep him. Woodgate is a world class centre half still but is pure perma-crock. Smith's well....

Smith off the wage will be a huge relief. Smith out of the squad will be brilliant.

A very good question and (of course) time will tell but you have to feel Pardew intends on playing Marveaux in the first team. If we merged mine and your avatar into a clip it would be like the White Stripes' Seven Nation Army video. I'm starting to feel slightly sick looking at all these french flags. I'm on board with the french lads but i think i may have to change mine.

More likely IMO: Cabaye Tiote Marveaux Ben Arfa Barnetta Ba

Doubt we will be signing those 4. I can see Taylor certainly and perhaps Barnetta (just a hunch). No chance of Sturridge.

Ironic that we stole something from scousers. They are probably the most detestable set of fans/cunts.

As if Carrick would just say that in a service station to some random fuck-nugget,

Does anyone actually know whether Barnetta is any good? I've seen his name banded about in the past but that counts for nothing.

Is this Jose's real twitter account? J_Enrique3 "Wherever you are in my future career I know that Newcastle will be forever in my heart. Thanks!"

Aye we will not be bidding north of 10m for a player, sadly. Although, on the whole i don't mind us looking for bargains. I'd love Sturridge but i feel we will be scraping the far depths of Russia before investing in a young (expensive) english player.

Gervinho u-turn perhaps.
