A tip Gash. When things like this happen - leave it a while.

It looks good then, doesnt it? He can't exactly meet a club who hasnt bid for him. He means Lille

Exactly....

They are saying that they haven't accepted or rejected the bid. I wonder whether it meets the rumoured clause?

Would be a bit of a worry if he was taking them for Ukraine :pow:

Aye, I was thinking that. Douglas certainly seems close to Pardew. Could be a ploy

A player with potential in a position where we have had a chronic lack of cover for some years. He can't be seen as a replacement for Jose - too young and lacking in experience. So with the clause he looks a really good option.

I think he could develop into a really good front man. He has all the physical attributes and has shown instinct for goals at various levels. He has obviously had his problems adjusting to first team level - but so has many a young striker. His attitude is the obvious problem with him. The fear is that it will stop him from ever fulfilling his potential.

Simple enough if they can get rid. 5 years is a long time if we can't (see the Xisco precedent)

The long term contract does complicate things if they do want rid.

up last night that mate. Nowt new

Mark Douglas rallying everyone on twitter up for this? Not really. He said it would be a shock - but not a 'pitchforks out' type departure. This qualifies as that I think. You seen it nut?

Looks likely

Bit of a shock move this

What do you think of this Brummie. Would you be happy with him?

What? Discounting Liverpool for obvious reasons, Pardew hasn't beaten any team that wasn't still in danger of going down on the final day. Hughton on the other hand beat four of the top ten (two on their own patch) plus Chelsea in the cup, yet he's the one that's tactically inept. Yet Hughton's failed to get results against so called 'home bankers', they're both average managers for different reasons. I think sensible people would recognize that a) Hughton was still learning as a manager and b) he's already shown that he can get results against poorer sides and do it at home by losing only four games in the Championship and staying undefeated at SJP. For the record, I found Hughton's sacking as baffling as the next man and I don't partiuclarly like Parew as a person, but I personally think he's done a decent job with a limited squad. Next season will be his true test like. This, all of this

He is the Sunday Mirror's chief gadgee and is saying this will happen for 1m, buyout clause. Very interesting

It's the commit treason bit I don't get

eh? Just for non twitters to read what he has to say, dunno why anything he writes for the Sunday Sun is taken as gospel though. Oh. Been will discussed on here tonight mate ah the good old past future tense conundrum - keeps me occupied for ages that one One letter out. Sorry. Been well discussed. Best put you out of your semantically challenged misery

Krul does this more than Harps

eh?

We mullered Blackburn. 0-0 was a travesty. Yet it says a lot about my mindset this season that I was elated with a point

Good lad
