Anyone seen the bit in bold confirmed elsewhere? Seems fairly common knowledge now mate. Seems to have been mentioned in alot of places, so i can't imagine it's not true. Still gunning for us to sign Mendes.

I agree.

Or about who's available? The fact we are taking him on trial means we are not wanting to just sign anyone, as tempting as it is. Wouldn't mind seeing the lad on a six month contract. Hopefully there will be more faces through the door. Bring him in and let JK decide, the man that wants to build a teama round Shola We will sign Løvenkrand and I am okay with that he is free fair enough but I just hope its not what we are looking for, I hope there is money to spend. Managers talk shite mate, KK did it loads and so has Kinnear. If he really rated Ameobi he would have been in the starting line up when Oba and Owen were fit.

Looks like a lefty, took free kicks and penalty's with his left?

Never going to happen though. Even with Man City's clout it's hard to get players from other clubs first teams in.

Without sounding all "geordie superhuman race". I would like to see Bruce because he knows the club and the region.

Was reported in the sunday sun anarl. We will find out in the morning i suppose.

Team; Given Taylor Coloccini Bassong Enrique Butt Guthrie Duff Jonas Owen Carroll Score; 3-1 Two positives to come out of the West Ham games were Jonas playing on the left and Carroll's goal. Butt will come back in and that's probably the correct choice.

Mendes has been by far the best rumour. For 1.5m he would be a bargain. What i would have done to have someone who can keep hold of the ball yesterday.

I'm sure it was lovenkrands, anyone know who was with harmisson before the match because they walked past me?

I have a horrible feeling alot of this match depends on Bellamy. What i will say is that we have beaten better sides at home (Spurs, Villa), ignoring the fact we have lost against worse.

Noone noticed the new link to Riise on .com?

2m + Geremi for Seba Larrson please

Hopefully this simply means we will sell him in the next window. I don't honestly believe Kinnear rates him THAT highly but when he has played, he's been alot better.

Seems probable that if we are to sign anyone during this window then it will be Barry Ferguson. At least it is someone experianced and in the correct position.

He's one for the summer really. Spurs would sell him if a sizable offer came i.e 13/14m. However, would we really have that money to spend. No doubting his talent.

Oh and would offer us more than Barry Ferguson.

In all serious Mendes has a wide range of passing, similar to Emre in his technique from what i have seen. Certainly not going to score us many goals from midfield but he will do alot of the same things Guthrie does i.e neat tidy football.

Completely agree on Jonas like. I picked my team on what i expect to see from Kinnear, wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to see Carrol get another chance.

Credit to Duffs effort and ability to keep the ball decently but apart form that he offers absolutely nothing over Zoggy. N'Zogbia might go missing in games but he has 10x the ability on the ball that Duff has at the moment. Team; Given Taylor Coloccini Bassong Enrique Geremi Guthrie Jonas N'Zogbia Duff Owen

Mendes would be a very clever move. Highly underated footballer.

I'd have Elano and a couple of million. Or Elano and Micheal Johnson.

Andy Carroll playing= Loss Jonas on bench= Loss
