exactly

Pardew said the money would be reinvested out of the Carroll sale ,he was told by Llambias and thats the crux of the current debate that that promise was made and so far very little net spend of that money. I agree that "promise" was a mistake, but I think expecting that it actually meant we would spend £35m on transfer fees is taking it far too literally. It was also made in a pressure situation by a manager trying to defend a very unpopular sale. you're missing the point. spending none of it and then giving a list of excuses to the local press including a fucking water pipe is a pretty clear indication of what these lot are about, and you're still not seeing it. How am I missing the point? You mean I'm not coming to the same conclusion as you. the conclusion i'm coming to is that they haven't spent any of it, i fail to see how you'd be too far away from that?

i agree, unfortunately i think the decent player is buried under a mountain of shit that shouldnt be shovelled on our time, he'd be easily replaced by someone with a better attitude.

I know it isn't a direct quote which is why I referred to this stuff being "leaked" via (ex) Journal sources. I just don't see what Edwards has to gain from putting a negative spin on Zog coming here. If he's not putting the club point of view across why would he say that? As far as I can see he's just saying that Zoggy's character is like that. I don't see any reason to assume he's been fed that by the club. How much influence do think NUFC have on the content of Luke Edward's tweets? who cares really? we wont pay the money for him and we can DEFINITELY afford it, that's bad enough.

delighted we're back in action

so basically, if he's going cheap, we'll be in for him.

Carlton Cole and Steve Sidwell

That's a big ask with the squad as it currently stands. possibly, but it shows ambition

the very fact that we're even still discussing the ins and outs of projected wages, agents fees etc etc tells you all you need to know about the transfer window so far imo. have we improved the squad? impossible to answer now, have we improved the squad to the best of our ability financially? no, of course we haven't. doesnt look promising either does it.

You are a product of happier times. Learn to live with it. It is getting dull watching you pretend you understand the clubs history. You clearly don't. Ask your dad about Imre Varadi vs Peter Beardsley.You werent old enough to appreciate either never mind the difference between them, the politics or the precedence set at the time. You can bitch all you like sunshine.However, your ignorance shines like a f***ing beacon. I'm not sure what your post has to do with the one you replied to. i don't think he is either. just got back from the pub is my guess

Someone e mail Pardew 'Daniel Sturridge'

Missing out on him would be a disappointment due to the upgrade in firepower he'd give us. Missing out on him to an immediate rival like Sunderland or Villa would be a huge disappointment. He'll massively improve any forward line for the teams around us. i know, i know, just trying to be objective. really the tight cunts should just pay what he's worth for all the reasons you've outlined

not getting n'zogbia wouldnt be the end of the world. we could do with 2 strikers though

mackems will be the worst, they'll be trying to knacker him from the first minute

and has been pointed out,none of them are any better than those they are replacing. i'd beg to differ slightly with that. O Shea and Brown have got to be upgrades on Bramble and Ferdinand? Not massively admittedly, but in general. not brown on his form of the last 3 seasons and i'g guessed he'd be at right back anyway. o'shea can't be if he's replacing turner whom my mackem mates assured me would be in the england squad if he played for a london club. thought bardsley was the only strong link in their defence? o'shea's better than turner like.

Steven taylor's getting it! off you, in the bum

Barton will be important in holding it together quite a few times this season imo, such a shame about the contract stuff, bad judgement on the clubs part imo

watch john o'shea bundle home the winner at their place now

Bruce wont be. He must've ran up one hell of a bill on iTunes finding the perfect song to play when they beat us. he was celebrating more than most last time iirc

they'll be celebrating again when it's a draw, which is the most likely result imo

don't have to imagine it mate, we're all burning up inside

i'm a bit concerned about this myself, he hasnt played regularly for ages and might have to gradually work his way in

Defo Routledge there. Who's no. 15? He's fooking massive. Is it the Goslingator? With new shorter hair maybe. Aye, looks like Dan Gosling. has he got massiver?
