Ashley17

Why? Just a regular radio with FM and MW will do him.

Shame for Lockwood, I like his passion.

Is Beye still with you? Forgot about him.

So the contenders for the most shocking announcement ever are: 1. NOLAN CONTRACT TALKS STALL 2. NEWCASTLE SWOOP FOR SWANS TAYLOR 3. NEWCASTLE LOOK TO HIRE GARDNER None of which would make me want to buy the paper.

He tried to play from the back against City on boxing day, he tried it noticeably less after that. Harper's kicking used to be great, when Robson would rotate Harper and Given it was one of the main "Pros" for Harper. Now it's pretty poor.

I hope we don't sign him as it would annoy me how many people spell his name wrong. Also him and Tiote would get 30 bookings between them. We don't need another centre midfielder unless others are off.

If he's not up to it we'll probably get £1m back no bother. Unless he's an absolute fucking disgrace of course.

Absolutely bonkers to want to tie someone on £50k a week to that sort of deal until they're 33. He's not exactly Mr Mobility as it is, even if his leadership qualities far outweight that.

Why would they ever be in contracts if they were a secret? "You can have him...if you can guess his buyout clause." "£1.5m" "HA! It's £1m" "We bid £1m." "I am baffled."

As long as he's not the Enrique replacement, I'm ok with it. We need a backup left back as Perch is shite and Ferguson will probably be out on loan.

I thought in this new all conquering 4-3-3 that Fabio had created that Ashley Young was pivotal. So where is he then?

Giggs, Vitor Baia, etc.

They're on international duty together.

Read Shefki to Carlisle in one of the papers this morning

Can't see him leaving Fulham so soon. Not that I can think of any other respectable potential candidates. I'm sure I read somewhere he's only on a short contract. It's a stepping stone club, whereas Villa have a mighty backing and a largely better squad. Villa have huge potential still IMO.

Mark Hughes I reckon

I've seen his cock more times than I've seen my own, every fucking time there's a thread on him man

Struggling to imagine what shop on acorn road it would be, the key shop or coral. Or greggs.

Arsenal went 49 games unbeaten with their French contingent. It helps if the players are good.

Ironically I think Barton might do ok in a 3 man centre midfield, which is where we seem to be heading.

So Valencia have offered 7 million in installments and we've offered 11 up front. Seems similar to the Owen deal really. We've also upped our bid for M'Bengue and we're keen on Gervinho, Menez & Zog. If we don't get Gameiro our backup plan is Erding or Djibril Cisse. In summary, bring on the French.

Someone who can pick a pass and plays in the middle fits Pardew's comments as well. Agree it'll probably be Gervinho or Zog, Gervinho first choice and if we can't get him we'll turn to Zog. If it's true we bid £4m for Zog that's all part of the game.

Stalemate Star

He said "we're in for a striker - that's been reported"
