Colos Short and Curlies

Oh come on lads - now he's at the top of page 228 as well. Should have a warning in the title or something

Daily Mirror.... 'apalled by our wage offer' F365..... 'Didn't even speak to Toon officials' They really know nothing and are going on various hearsay

Random post to try to get this thread to page 228. That image of the Hoff is disturbing when you open page 227

Pedro's coming back!

I can't wait to see the punch line of this story

In terms of Internet traffice Chelsea are the fourth biggest cllub in London - outside the top 10 in England. No idea where we are mind

I understand your concern, but having witnessed the Messiah essentially raise Nazareth from the dead anything is possible. If Keegan could get Owen going again, breath some life into Geremi's legs and bring some sense of direction to Butt's passes then I am very hopeful. Never underestimate a positive manager when it comes to things like injuries and a loss of form. If Allardyce was signing him I wouldn't be anywhere near as optimistic. you mean Lazarus? http://www.southsomerset.gov.uk/media/image/a/9/toolkit-cov2_1.jpg Kaka & friends. I like the reference to Moses, who as a carpenter would have used tools like those. Jesus was the carpenter... silly me! Yes, silly you. Joseph wasn't it??

Are you ITK? I've heard similar, but not quite so black and white. Big money will be spent on younger players only, though older players will be signed if they are available for lower fees and aren't looking for a massive payday (so Dunne would be considered but Henry not etc)

Anybody? Wiki reckons he only played 22 games for Zaragoza last year, sounds worrying. More to do with form than injury as far as I know. This is a great signing Dave we should all be proud of the negotiating efforts. Need to give him a superhero moniker now

Until David Craig is outside SJP with a gaggle of mongs I aint believing a word of it

My new second team!

Does anyone really believe that clubs believe agent bollocks in the press about other clubs interest in players?

Controversial one here, but I couldn't stand Given when he first signed. (1) he took Pav's place (sorry Jx2) (2) His taking Pav's place co-incided with a poor start to the season. Soon changed my mind though

You wear really tight undies don't you? Let them breathe man! I believe we are in a stronger position if we both bid. The premier league is really popular right now, there are a lot of top Argentinians here all doing really well and we just signed an Argentinian ourselves! Enjoy the speculation we are in with a very good chance afterall. Modric didn't come and we're all still alive right? Chill. Close thing though!

To be fair, Norwich isn't the worst place a young could go to to get experience. Quite sheltered from the media spotlight one would assume

I'd assume that would mean another left back is coming in? Kadar would have been third in line I'd guess

Maybe Keegan likes the look of this guy but has been told that he would only be available on a loan for the time being. Would you rather Keegan/The club (a) Take the loan, strenghtening relations between the clubs for a possible transfer next summer (b) Decide that actually, no we'll go elsewhere, start another player appraisal and maybe buy a second choice fullback this summer. No right answer btw, but I'd prefer option (a)

What stupid things do you enjoy about supporting the Toon? With me living away, for me its seeing a car with a Toon badge/flag etc in it. Obviously its not as common as seeing a Man U banner or even a Chelsea one these days, but it just warms the insides a little when I go past one on the motorway.

Not like a Scouser to be bitter is it?

Its Okay to believe the media if we want the club to sign the player in question and its a favourable piece

Can we add a poll to where we think he will end up? something like: European Champs League European UEFA English Champs League English Uefa Toon Other Eurpean Other UK Stay at Zenit ??????????????

FYP

Never heard of him, must be shit. Legend on Pro Evo, always play him in the hole

Spotted in a Taxi with SWP. Another MA cost saving scheme

Wouldn't work. What happens if a club sell a player for £20m but their budget cap figure is only £15m? They can't spend the £15m plus the £20m they recouped? You stupid boy. Edit: That sounds harsh. mackems.gif Fair point.
