Unbelievable

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.

Hassle? Should selling clubs just roll over for us?

How reliable is Express? There's nothing in the Dutch media about this, which leads me to believe it's most probably BS.. Edit: just seen James' contribution. Top stuff if so!

Seems like Hatem and French (footballing) culture isn't a great fit. I really do hope it doesn't affect his confidence and he will be back firing on all cylinders at the start of next season.

WTF

Thanks for everything Peter. Hope you find a good new club to finish your career in style.

McLean is to hansome to be worth only 12 million.. http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showpost.php?p=12894502&postcount=11

More than, if you include Lovenkrands and Guthrie who are now both also out of contract. Nearer 5m I'd say. Aye but at least we actually got some benefit out of the money from those two now and again, however marginal you think it might have been. Smith's money, we might as well have burned it. Guthrie's role this past season was well more than marginal tbf.

One more month no?

Seems a good player and the sort of character youd want around the dressing room. Also you dont get 19 caps for nothing so hes defiantly got ability. Would get him in on a free especially now were in Europe and needing strength in depth. Go get him PardsMON! FYP

Jumped the gun.. Can you blame me? Not tonight, tonight is a night for celebration..

Jumped the gun..

YES!!!!!

Best transfer of the window about to happen!

15 minutes to go. Get in!
