Parky

Who are Braga anyway?

Totally agree. Often mulled that.

Bet it was Midds.

Not sure myself either.

Thanks for the upadate Dave.

You better lend him your copy of FM.

Hopefully the blokes who spend the £35 million. Got very little hope that the £35m is going back into strengthening the team tbh. It'll pay a few bills but can't see us shelling out £35m in the summer on players. The summer window will be a big test of the believability of the messages from Pardew.

Well said.

Yeah think I've been very generous there.

Brrrrrrrafraaaaa needed asap.

Said earlier in the thread that an old jedi like Dalglish returning would be dangerous and this has come to pass. My mind is not still, it is like a raging torrent of anger and sadness, but that too will pass. When the time is right and I have prepared and conversed with the old masters, I shall engage the one they call Dalglish...For it is him.

Yeah cause Tiote and Arfa are obviously crap.

He's signed two good players = 2 goals. They haven't even played yet ffs!

I think Parky might be a goal up at least. Let's re-visit this in a year's time! My only hope is Carroll does summink mental and Suarez doesn't acclimatise.

Aye.

I'm fucked I reckons.

But he could have gone with dignity and need not have put in the request...Ashley was never going to turn down 35m.

But what kind would work on a local lad who clearly loves the club? I can see the PR spin benefit of getting him to put in for one....But again it makes him look pretty bad...

Knowing MA he would be biting the hands off for 35m...So why the request? How could they talk him into it as it clearly makes him look the villain? Strange.

Made a bid to the one chairman who hates him. Insanity or genius?

Not if MA asked him to put it in to ease the backlash.

from danwalkerbbc still no reasoning behind why he'd do that. This is how it went. MA It's a lot fahkin money Dekks. Dekka Yeah, take it Guv MA What about the mongs outside? Carroll I'll put in a request... MA Eh? What? Dekka Err he means we'll come aht smelling of roses boss... MA At right. Carroll Keep me bonus tho aye.. MA (*Already on phone to Doglesh)..
