Unbelievable

Really? I agree it could be massive, but we've just signed two France internationals to replace the glaring weak spots in our first team that were costing us week in week out. I personally feel those two, and a Ba replacement if it comes (don't know what to expect from Gouffran tbh) are the most important considering we were already pretty well stocked in central midfield.

What?

What makes you think that it is? that blog suggest it's been ongoing for a while, even before he extended his contract, so doubt it's to do with serious ilness.

Holy crap

What a fucking mess

What the fuck? In that very blurry clip on my iPhone he seemed to play mostly left wing, but also seemed to pup up centrally and wide right. I noticed he scored both with his left foot, where in one case it was perhaps easier to convert with his right, but then again I read on some other website he was rightfooted mainly. It was pretty clear he liked dribbling yes, but he didn't look Robben fast to me. So yes, that five minute clip was more than nothing when it comes to forming an opinion, but again, I don't see how watching a youtube vid means I can't ask a poster who has seen more of him some additional details. Sorry to have offended you like..

5 minutes on Youtube and I can't therefore ask somebody's opinion who may have seen him live multiple times? Rightio.. Edit: thanks VanBarPunk

You hope

What the fuck?

Was it Wonder dar Duck or whatever it was? It was me yes Can you tell us more about his style, preferred foot, attributes, etc?

Referring to this post plus reactions:

Nah, I think we could get 2 milion easily, based on the fact he's English, Premiership proven and of a good age. His contract is up in 5 months man. Don't know what your point is? We are seemingly paying Toulouse a decent fee to get Sissoko now rather than in the summer, when he can come in for free. All it takes is a Premiership club desperate for a right back with Premiership experience. If it wasn't for his contract situation I think we could have got double that amount, as his stock seems to be pretty high outside of Newcastle city boundaries.

Don't know if his injuries are in anyway related, so you may be right in that sence, but he's missed a fair few games for us since, so it's either that or he is just "unlucky" with regards to injuries.

As good as Ben Arfa is, there's no getting away from the fact he's more than a little injury prone unfortunately, which I can see as something that would put off bigger clubs from ever going for him.

Thanks for the clarification quayside!

Unsurprising given that 'asset boost'(whatever the hell that means) occurred the previous year........ I'm comparing them to the year which had them. Which means our finances actually improved significantly without that one off asset boost. You are talking rubbish as those figures for the previous year do not include player sales In our official accounts they do. That has nothing to do with your claim that the figures in the deloite list dont include the Carroll sale ffs What I'm saying is our turnover has passed what we made the previous year despite the Carroll sale. Which shows how much more the club made due to it's successful season. I'll admit the 1st post was misleading though. The Carrol sale has absolutely nothing to do with it, it would never be included in club turnover. You know much more about football finance than me obviously, but why would income from player sales be excluded from the revenue reported for that period? Its extraordinary income, ie not normal day to day income iirc That I understand, but in my business extraordinary income (i.e. selling an asset) stills shows on my accounts as revenue, unless I'm horribly mistaken? Does it not work the same in football?

I didn't say I wouldn't be happy getting him, but based on that little evidence I wouldn't expect him to come in at left wing and be a success straight away. At 4 million or whatever it is they are asking it would be a pretty big gamble iyam.

Looks far from the finished article from that Thauvin vs Bordeaux youtube vid.
