Many toon fans.

Anyone decent on the bench?

Decent point. Maybe Hughton's instigated this. Strange time to transfer list him though.

Bench been named yet?

Aye.

God I hope that's true. Laughable signing for the bin dippers and it keeps them away from Jose. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_6334464,00.html

Shame no Sol and wouldn't have played Lua Lua.

Would have been sold for £30m two years later though.

Carlos Salcido close to signing for Fulham according to skysports.com, cracking signing, bought to replace the Liverpool bound Konchesky.

Link?

How much do you think were getting then?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/aug/25/newcastle-united-steven-taylor-transfer-list Linked with Chelsea and Liverpool here.

Jay Lloyd Samuel his replacement.

He is a better and cheaper option though.

Fair point, though that seems to be where we disagree. I think Taylor is the necessary quality because I think he walks into our first team. As for the wage demands, I don't know who to believe. If the player is asking for too much then fair enough, but Ashley has enough form when it comes to penny pinching that I remain sceptical. What has he done over the last two years to deserve a pay rise?

We were linked with Zayatte from Hull this morning, maybe a replacement. I would try and get David Wheater in.

Birmingham have increased their bid for N'Zogbia.

Would be brilliant.

Lovenkrands will be involved, Guthrie doubtful according to CH. The chronicle says it will be mainly youngsters but we will have a strong bench.

I would take £2-3 million to sell him before the dealine, better than him going for nowt in the summer. Most interested clubs would be thinking this as well given his injury status. As long as we find a decent replacement, i would be happy.

Tbh i wouldn't give him 40k a week never mind 60k.

Can't see us getting bids of over £3 million if we are to sell him before the deadline.

Do you think we would look to replace him if he goes before the deadline?

Maybe we will now go for Boyata on loan from Man City.
