My hope: Kinnear is saying he'll be here for a while to attract new players to the club. If he says "I'm only here until May...then anything could happen" it's hardly the type of security a player will look for. Just a thought.

This club's bonkers like. No statements for days on end regarding the status of our manager(s) but a bid rejected for Neill is worthy of a statement at 8pm on a Thursday night. As someone above said, club is blatantly back tracking and may aswell have been an apology to West Ham.

Fucking hell, what a mentalist

Anderson hasn't scored for Man Utd. I'm not sure which argument that backs up but whatever.

Test 1: Passed Someone get his PES stats up and that should seal the deal.

Aye it's on the ticker on SSN, Kinnear says we've bid £5m for M'Bia.

That's one of the many reasons such an agreement isn't allowed (anymore? Think it used to be.) Whether they happen behind the scenes or not is up for debate I guess.

Someone tell Mark Bowen, he thinks it's close to completion

Been coming for a while, no surprise.

Kinnear keeping his cards close to his chest, yet yesterday we'd agreed 2 loan fees and he gave away their nationalities. He'd be shit at Poker

.com think Xisco will start

He's getting steadily less subtle over time. It's gone from "I could move you know" to "PLEASE COME AND GET ME." Sickening, and it hardly sounds like a guy who's going to give his all for us, which is a problem given we have about 10 fit senior players.

From the BBC gossip breaking news thingy: Charles N'Zogbia says he wants to know how much Newcastle value him at so he can leave the club. "The club want to sell some players, so why not me? Lyon, make a move!" said the French midfielder. (Aujourd'hui Sport, 1015 GMT)

He's a left winger aswell, if he came in it would either mean N'Zog's away or just for the sake of it. Ideally one of these is a right sider and one is a central player IMO.

actually Bayern recently said he`s available on loan hmmm http://www.goal.com/en/news/592/bayern-munich/2008/12/17/1015866/bayern-to-ship-out-jose-ernesto-sosa I'd hardly say 23 was experienced but he ticks most of JFK's description. Italian/Argentine Midfielder Experienced Will cost £400k for half a season Agreed deal with club - would suggest willingness to loan Christ this is like a giant game of Guess Who, only you may never know if it was right or wrong because your "opponent" is an idiot.

Source? (I'm not being a tosser I just genuinely can't find it)

Well it isn't Shola as they must be connecting [/Obvious joke]

1. Not Argentinian 2. Not Italian

If he ousts Ashley Young I think I'll ahve a turd at the game tonight in the stand. Young has been their most effective supply line from the elft wing all season, why move him to the right to accomodate somebody worse? And when you think they spent £12m on Milner, I'd say there's no chance. One possible solution is if Barry needs this groin operation they might play him as part of the midfield 3. However, he's playing Reo-Coker at right back purely to accomodate him in the team (I think? Brummie?) so surely he would go back into midfield.

There's not nearly enough wild speculation in here people. These are two loan players, one Italian and one Argentinian!!! And they cost £400k for half a season!!!!!!! I for one am sure....we won't sign them. And if we do the Argie will be a random in the mould of Gonzalez. Yes I have my pessimistic head on today.

A likely 60% Shola to get the nod over Xisco. Donaldson to get half an hour. Ranger furious. At a guess..

What a load of crap. On Soccer Saturday it showed them shaking hands and having a sly hug on the way down the tunnel, hardly looked like a ranting and raving session.

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. aye the chairman has basically said they were banking on getting teurope, getting beat by that lithuanian team has put them in leeds style trouble http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/r/rangers/7824323.stm Steamboat will sort us out

Ex-pro's and our managers all rave about Butt. Maybe it's just our fans who hate him.

More like it was 5 or 6 with 2 or 3 going out, now nobody is leaving. [/Wishful thinking]
