Unbelievable

Why I don't want him anywhere near Newcastle United? The main reason is his personality and his attitude. But the list is long. I thought he had a very good attitude? Attitude as in cocky... and acts as he's already "a world class footballer". Well, a bit hard to describe. Learn Swedish and listen to some of his latest interviews So was Ibrahimovic when he was in Holland. Seems to be a Swedish striker thing. The quality is certainly there though, and his attitude on the pitch is second to none, so I don't really see your point?

Good.

Any news on the fee? Is it the previously reported 2 million or did we manage to extract some more out of them? Personally I would have been happy if he had stayed and fought for a first team place just so we are better prepared for the eventuality of a bid for Krul we can't refuse, but if he wants to be first choice then fair play and I wish him all the best.

No it isn't Saying all english people love fish and chips is just the same but that isn't classed as racism. Except "English" doesn't signify a race, "black" does..

Have you ever heard of context FFS Let me help you out: Any suggestions? Can't think of many who'd come here..

TBF to Elliotman...you're bolding 'better' but that's the thing you didn't say. Would have come across much more agreeable. Understandable reaction You may want to check what I posted that in reply to Sherlock..

Any suggestions? Can't think of many who'd come here.. Errr what? We arent some s*** tip club like Sunderland you know. We have a few things going for us at the minute. I notice you've avoided putting some actual names forward. unfortunately I dont get paid to go round the World Scouting player, but to make a statement like 'cant think of many that would come here' is just plain stupid considering the players we've attracted over the last 12 months. Don't get your knickers in a twist. All I said was I can't think of many better players than him that would be available to us. I can't, and neither can you apparently. You're right that we're both not professional scouts and the club may well have a shortlist of alternatives, here's hoping! Still, losing out on our top target can never be construed as anything else than bad news sadly in my opinion.

He's really gone down in my estimation after the Krul incident. All he needs to do now is sign for Man City and any fondness that I had is officially gone. Always imagined he would stay at Arsenal or maybe join Barcelona one day for the football, but if he chooses money over football he'll have proven to be a cunt just like the others.

Dutch media (VI) now reporting a delegation of Borussia Monchengladbach has arrived at the FC Twente stadium at 15:00 CET to finalise a deal which will include a player exchange with Twente target Oscar Wendt. Also De Jong's father and agent are there. Looks like he's a goner..

Source?

Wasn't that ben arfa before he joined? I kinda expect it of the French. Besides Junior is not even on the same planet as Ben Arfa, and I'd struggle to imagine him ever making it there. Nzogbia mark II and no mistake. I'd be extatic if we added a Zog* to our current squad. * the one we and Wigan used to have, not the Villa under McLeish one mind.

Hardly earth shattering is it. Maybe not earth shattering, but certainly two very promising moves. I wanted Sigurdsson here badly especially. Wouldn't surprise me if he went on to become a regular 20 goal a season attacking midfielder. AVB is a bit of a gamble, but he's certainly showed potential at Portugal and will have learned at Chelsea, so is potentially another brilliant move for them.

First AVB, now Sigurdsson. I've officially stopped laughing..

People whinging about people whinging about thread titles?

Superb

Dear God no!

Yes. Next!

Happens to the best of us, doesn't it Dave?

Aye. It's been surprisingly quiet on that front. Let's hope it stays that way.

Here's hoping he rejects their interest to see the fallout on RTG. Hope we consequently steer well clear if that's how much they want for him.

Holy smoke!
