Unbelievable

Wow!!!

Lawro man FFS

Pirlol

Howay Italy!!!

Buffon..

"You can almost hear it around the stadium.."

I've been more critical of Balotelli than most, but to say you will only change your mind if he scores 10 hattricks in the CL next season FFS. The man's a liability of course, but there's no denying he's also got a fair bit of talent. Edit: it was Premiership, was it. Either way, what is that bitter cunt doing comentating at a Euros final?

What a bitter c***.. Edit: Alan Hansen I was on about..

I shouldn't have gone through the trouble to translate those quotes. You're all barking mad..

Some more quotes (from his agent speaking to Voetbal International): "Luuk wants to continue his development in a big league." "The most important thing for is is the sportive perpective for Luuk. Not the money, but the style of play and the amount of playing time he will get will be the decisive factor" (In reaction to McLaren saying he should stay at Twente for at least one more season): ""Luuk has reached the Dutch national team and scored 25 goals in the Eredivisie. What else should he do? Score 35? Luuk is ready in Holland" "I hope we have clarity about his future by July 9th at the latest" (first training day for De Jong at Twente)

Regarding Europe what he says is that UEFA has changed the rules, so if Luuk de Jong plays for Twente in Europe before a move materialises, it doesn't prevent him from playing in Europe for his new club.

Alright, here goes for a more accurate translation (only exact agent quotes): ''Luuk has made a decision. If there is a possibility to make a step in his career sportingwise, he is ready to make it'' ''It doesn't have to be an absolute top club. A good club in a big competition where he will have the perspective to be in the first team would be an excellent move'' 'I am nog going to mention specific clubs, but there are more than two clubs very interested'

We were s*** for the first 2/3 of last season apparently: Edit: in the same topic some of them are arguing they could easily attract the likes of Adam Johnson, Jermain Defoe, Daniel Sturridge and Aron Ramsey.

No way

WTF

Knowing MON he will probably sign a decente full back or two and play Cuellar at RB anyway.

Good signing for you if true. Was fantastic at Heerenveen.

Yes on both counts. Was Van Marwijk in 2009.

I don't even know the Express, but somebody said they have links to Lambiass. What have they been right about before that nobody else knew/reported?

Mind if we did sign Douglas we would need to work around him formally having to live in Holland for another month. I wonder if there would be a possibility of him joining us in pre season. We would certainly need to make arrangements with Twente or get a fitness coach over as he's been put back to the reserve team due to returning late, and if rumours are to be believed overweight, from Brazil.

Was the guy who said a "bigger club than Newcastle" were interested in him. Came across as a bit of a t*** from that like, but yeah hopefully a sound signing if true. That might be the one Wouldn't want us to sign a stepping-stone matherfacker if we can at all help it tbh. How exactly does saying big clubs are in for him equal him being a stepping-stone matherfacker? I suppose it doesn't per force, but mentioning club size etc when there's no real need to, does to me indicate that he believes he is worthy of somewhere which he (/perceives) is bigger than Newcastle. He may very well be, but to make a statement like that without prompting is not exactly promising. How do you know the statement was made without prompting? f*** off. Position untenable, quick - say something witty. Untenable my ass. There's no line of questioning fathomable which forces you into making such an untactful daft response. Can't be arsed spending my Sunday answering stupid questions from Unbelievable! trying to save face for his Dutch brethren.

Quicker and stronger than anything we've got at CB. I hope to God this is true and we sign him - would be excellent foil for Colo.

No, he's complimentary in style to Colo, not a replacement.
