Aneeta. A bit like if Wolves said 'Want Fletcher for 14m?' You'd say 'aa...nee ta.'

I'm getting tired of people posting clips that cost to view. We get it, you have a bit of money in your back pocket.

I don't think it's about being frugal as we agreed a price for him. If his value's gone up since then they have the option to sell elsewhere, but not many clubs want to pay £6m for a 27 yr old full back with no resale value otherwise he'd have been signed already. Agree with this. The longer this goes on, the less interested I am in seeing him here. It might be a good idea to see how young Tavernier goes in the position before shelling out shitloads on a 27 year old.

He's good.

You need a new username then, mentalist maybe?

Cardiff letting me down also.

I bet he watched the last 20 minutes just to check, and by that point he had actually moved to left back.

67m. Pricey.

Clearly Johnson's main attributes are his pace, directness and ability to dribble. The complete opposite of Stewart Downing.

Might not be such a bad thing.

Keegan says Owen will be on the bench. Owen starts on the bench. Pardew says HBA will be out. Pardew puts HBA on the bench? Very similar.

Yeah but Enrique had a poor season.

Some of the Ajax fans have concerns over whether he'll be able to adapt. "Anita is a good manmarker, good on the ball and in short passes and combinations. He's just not very well suited to play big areas and British football is pretty much known for playing with a stretched team which means the midfielder have to cover huge areas. That's why in British football tje box-to-box midfielder is so important. Anita isn't a box to box midfielder, as we say in Dutch he will 'drown' in a system like that. Whereas Arsenal have quite a European style I think Newcastle still has a more British style of play and for that style taller physically strong box-to-box players, with great stamina, good long range passing and a powerful shot from distance are more important qualities. Anita simply doesn't really fit that profile. He isn't bad in those areas, but not good enough I feel and his better qualities aren't utilized in that system. As I said before, IMO this transfer has flop written all over it. It's a shame for Anita as it'll probably kill his carreer, but he's made his choice so he has to suffer the consequences."

I think that's due to the desperate state we're in now, fans are happy with any signings incoming.

You're right, he did say he didn't want to move to the PL, said he wanted to fight for his place at Real Madrid. Since then Mourinho has said he does not expect Sahin to play a significant part with RM. Maybe Sahin has had a change of heart? As I said, I'm not saying it is or isn't BS, but I'm hoping there is an element of truth in it. "It's reckoned that Modric will be gone in the next week."

Don't know if it was mentioned but he also labelled us a big club and praised the Premier League in those earlier quotes. I only remember seeing the part about discussing plans with Pardew.

Fuck off Tooj. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e117/AlbertoLuque/skype2.png

Apparently Anita and Pardew are discussing plans via Skype before he jets over.

Pretty sure we're signing him with the intention of playing him CM anyway.

Pressed

Very considering it ends in 5 hours time.

ffs

Where's that from?

I'd have snapped your hand off for Anita + RB before today.
