Nobody

Good back up for Tiote. Though it wouldn't be the best idea, as he'll be away for ACN as well. Not that I think there's any substance to it, talk about covering their bases with naming five teams

Class name.

If for nothing else, we need competition for places. It'll surely spur our starting midfielders on knowing that our top scorer from last season is sitting on the bench and is a very viable option.

Fuck off, that reply was towards me. I think.

It would maybe help if you told us if they were good or bad posters!

We don't mind newcomers, just like you shouldn't mind old posters who support different teams than Newcastle. Especially as there are plenty of other reasons not to listen to what Gash? says.

What's an arsenal fan doing on a newcastle forum? Talking about football?

who said that? David28: "now, not the likes of Smith should be improved upon, but the likes of Barton and Nolan. That people think that Cabaye and Gosling are better than those two is making me a bit angry. That's all." I know he's not saying that, but he's the one who brought it up.

Personally mate, as a pure central midfielder I think it is very easy to improve on Nolan. Obviously in terms of his leadership and goal output it makes him useful, but really you could sign hundreds of midfielders with more guile, technique, athleticism etc. Barton is slightly different because I do think he's a genuinely good footballer. In a nut shell. I would hope that Cabaye is an improvement on Nolan when it comes to general play, however I don't expect him to score the goals Nolan did. That's why I'm hoping for at the very fucking least for a striker that will massively improve on our forward options. With that, and extra possession, improved passing, technique etc that Cabaye is supposed to give us over Nolan, plus the return of Ben Arfa, that should mean Nolans goals won't be missed as much. It's daft to say that Gosling will be an improvement on either though.

Yuuuuuppp.

Can we have Sow as well? Just what we need IMO.

Look at me, I'm funny and that!

No one is really saying that though, are they? Well, always someone, but I think most sensible people would see that he can make a step up and don't begrudge him of that.

Hazard was voted Lille's player of the year IIRC. He's also got a great name, but it would be ruined within two minutes of him signing after shit puns all over the place.

which one slightly to the left ? Barton. Cabaye played on the left for Lille in their final game of the season. I think either would be fine though.

I'm watching it. Doesn't look suspicious, just Estonia are really shit. Remember their best player plays for Boro. Haven't we got a youngster from Faroe Island?

It'd give us the chance to say "told you so" though. I'd certainly take Bojan in a straight swap, left backs are usually a lot cheaper than strikers.

This fucking club man! Keep getting rid of our important players! Fuck sake.

To me, that reads that Taylor has not accepted or rejected the bid, and it's up to them now to try and convince him to stay.

Nice, mackems gets £30k less because of Ashley. Get in.

He's a nice lad like, been to the pub where I work a couple of times. Doesn't seem to drink alcohol though.

Aye, why do you know of him?

Some Swedish paper linked us to him a few weeks ago i think. Were linked to Teteh Bangura though, not Mohamed. Which ones better? Mohammed was a beast last season, getting him and a new GK in the summer pretty much saved us from relegation. He's been struggling to score this season though, think he's only scored in one game, but he's still been good. Teteh I didn't expect to be any good at all, but he's been arguably our best player this season. Would be massively disappointed if we bought either of them, don't think either of them is good enough to step up from that piece of shit league. The lad from Firman may actually be ITK though, it's not uncommon here that they have inside knowledge.

Another Taylor?
