they cant seriously be offering 9 million? haway.

by 'do such a thing' do you mean play him in midfield? By do such a thing I mean buy a class defender (which we need to begin with) to play in midfield yes. i see, but if it worked, and the team were better for it, would that be so bad? thats all i'm asking.

time will tell, i imagine a lot of people would have had the same reaction if you'd told them keegan would play owen behind the front two, whatever works is good for me.

Yup. In fact although I'm pissed off the Jonas and Coloccini situations look like they'll be unresolved, Owen, Martins and Viduka will be missing and we'll be going into the game with a generally crap side, our season starts against Bolton. We were always going to lose at Old Trafford, so I'm not going to lose too much sleep over it. dave, genuine question here given our 'stances' during the summer; what do you think of the clubs "performance" with colo & guti? what i'm getting at is that i can't think of another club, perhaps granted there aren't that many of them as you don't tire of pointing out, who have transfers dragging on like we do in fact the villa transfer of shorey/young is a right slap in the face for the "transfers don't happen overnight crowd" - so what's going wrong with us then? I've said before I think the Jonas thing is a bit of a joke and that we should have seen some definitive action taken/answers given by now. However, I'm not going to beat up on the club about it because I just don't know the details. This is even more the case with Coloccini. There's a bit of a difference between signing players from different countries/leagues too btw. you just can't do it can you? take the step to say maybe somethings not perfect in mikes magical wonderland if neither of those two play sunday there's no other conclusion than they've made a total cunt of both deals if they do both play then what's with not confirming the deals? Complete bullshit of NE5 proportions. End of conversation. why bring me into it ? Still continuing your stupid agenda with people that disagree with you ? Compared to me, you're just a bairn Dave. haha, oh the irony cant we all just get along? http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/javaImages/91/2b/0,,10278~3746705,00.gif

i did my level 1 badge three weeks ago, went for the intensive week long course at northumberland fa in benton, right next to the nufc training ground actually. I really enjoyed it, the guy teaching was great at his job, very friendly and had a lot of experience for someone so young i thought. its fairly simple stuff but just gets you in the mindset of how to deal with youngsters. i'd recommend it to anyone that fancies it really. I'm starting some coaching for north shields fc in september, i used to play for them when i was younger so i've come full circle really, good stuff.

word

He's staying at the Hilton man. the hilton? are you serious? have you ever stayed in one? its just a glorified travelodge I'm deadly serious. then i'm not surprised the deal's stalling

why cant we play jonas? coz nufc.com say so?

to be honest i never saw the point in 'unveiling' him at the training day, little kids aren't gonna know who he is, he isnt a big name or a striker, they wouldnt care.

this would be nice, fingers crossed.

i was there, was pretty interesting. Jonas looked very good, as did Guthrie. Smith couldnt get anything on target, slid around on his arse as usual, Milners crossing was awful, and i thought Given and Harper looked very sharp.

But is he also our best player that likes to have strawberry cheesecake with his coffee? I personally think that Bassong is our best player between all of our other players that are called Bassong. very productive i think he's got a pointy knob actually you what? even though he made his point with humour (matter of opinion i know), what the hell has enrique being our second best player under the age of 24 got to do with it? nufc needs to improve and compete now, not in two seasons, now. and if warnock's available at the right price, and kk thinks he'll improve our defence (i do) then he should be bought and played. read what i quoted haha, its far too early for me to be noticing clever edits

Still this tbh. is he gonna come here to be understudy to a young lad? or anyone? he's an established premier league player now

so i guess this has already been mentioned but there goes the 'colo to be officially signed on tuesday' that we've been hearing a lot, gonna be a long week this

you cant even understand wanting two players for every position?

IF this is true, the only possible thing that could make it better would be a late 'swoop' by the mackems for 6 million or more

A bit like the bible I guess this is way more plausible than the bible tbf Very selective editing there Dr.V - you a jounalist or a politcian or something ? political journalist actually, and i practice law in my spare time

A bit like the bible I guess this is way more plausible than the bible tbf LOL What gets me is how come it's always these tenious links. Why doesn't the father who went to the meeting, post what was said ? Or even the son ? It's always, my mates, mate, father, daughter, barber, houseboy, whatever. i understand your point, but the guy who went to the meeting might not go on the internet much, or even know about this site? likewise with the son? it has to get to one of us somehow before its posted on here as hearsay. with these things i tend to just read with a degree of scepticism, believe some of it and think some of it is bollocks, depending on the circumstances. for example 'ashley wants to sell smith but kk doesnt', that doesnt bother me in the slightest (apart from i think smith's shit, but thats a different matter), whilst the papers will have you believe thats a massive problem, it isnt, what would be a massive problem would be if ashley was making footballing decisions over kk's napper, having a difference of opinion is part and parcel of life, work and football. its how you act upon those differences that matters.

wasnt there already a thread for this? i'll be going along anyway, the tuesday confirmation of collocini is looking less likely so hopefully i'll see him train tomorrow

A bit like the bible I guess this is way more plausible than the bible tbf

Last month I was online all Monday, all Tuesday and Wednesday morning and nothing happened. I went into a meeting and Jonas signed. well arrange a bloody meeting!
