Ashley.

You're wrong. Firstly, Dunne isn't a great player. Secondly, he isn't any better than Faye. Both are good players.

If it wasn't hard enough keeping debates away over the old board in threads over potential signings.

Why should I? been a fan even when it is as bad as now, you do not go running away. Yes, will continue to support even when we are relegated. Anyway, i really prepare myself for a similar scrappy campaign next season.In any case, been expecting that for a few seasons to that extent it becomes kind of norm for us to be scrapping in the bottom half. Does not mean i am not a fan if i acknowledge how weak we are, it just a matter of realism and managing expectation not to get disappointed. This is partly why i am delighted with our finish this season as mentioned earlier at the start of this current season, i think i am the only few to expect that we will be in a relegation fight this season despite the "good" clearout; i said (which was proven right) we have a weaker team than when we have the JJs and Dyers. If we are not going to make any good signings, we will be weaker than before and only common sense that we will struggle not accounting for the facts our midtable rivals like Spurs will strengthen. Anyway, enough of this pple bashing me, i am just being realistic and to those who think we are still the Newcastle of old, get real!!!!! He really must be a true fan then.

Dave made a good point in the other thread, everyone's moaning about the lack of transfer activity so far but look at how the Emre came about, there were no rumours about him leaving to Fenerbache, the news just broke within a few hours and in fact the English press didn't even know about it till the day after. My point is that we'll be trying just as hard as any other club to bring in players but we're keeping them under wraps and personally I'm delighted this is the way we're going about it.

The prices have gone up.

Hey, do you know anything about the price you're signing him for?

Surely not

I don't think Emre has played 75 games for us and he's been here for 3 seasons. You´re right. It was 76. Another myth disspelled.. Aye, but he didn't play an average of 25 games a season and technically Parker scored more goals than him over the two seasons he was here, so it's swings and roundabouts I'm afraid. How does 76 appearances in 3 seasons not compute to `over 25 games a season on average`? Fair enough about the goals I guess, although it must be close. At least with Emre there was a chance of a central midfielder scoring, which is more than can be said of the likes of Smith. He played 59 games in 3 seasons.

Yes, someone edited it.

He's not creative, never has been. Never has been. Have you seen what he did at Galatasary (sp?) and for Turkey He is like a god over there for a reason! Just damn injuries. To say he was not creative is teh same as saying Rui Costa or Del Piero was neither They are all worshipped in their respective countries! You're comparing Emre with Rui Costa and Del Piero?

He's not creative, never has been. Emre or Arshavin? Emre.

He's not creative, never has been.

I'd prefer it if people didn't make pointless comments in pointless threads.

I'd prefer it if people didn't make pointless threads.

Why? Because he isn't costing £10m presumably i'm pretty sure i've never judged someone soley on their transfer fee, and i'm not going to start now, so you should probably stop using it as a shite reason to question anybody who doesn't rate Diane highly. You watched him a lot then?

Not when he gets injured halfway through and is unable to complete a medical.

Already been posted, Defoe's mate come on and spilled the lot, John Utaka signed up earlier in the week aswell and rumour has it he's trying to get a good relationship with some of the fans before he completes his 7.2m move next week.

Only NE5 could cause such a stur over a potential 2.75m bid for a player no one's even see play before.

:lol:

Probably off to Spurs.

Clutching at straws - check making an informed guess - check I actually agree with you, I think Keegan would want him in this situation.

Clutching at straws - check

After what he did at Barca, I think he might be able to do a good jobb for us. What do you guys think, should Newcastle appoint ten Cate as backroom staff? 1.There's already a thread on this 2.He wouldn't come to us
