Good. A full season in league 1 can only do him good...provided that they use him regularly. I don´t have any faith in the 1-3 month loans we´ve been doing with our promising youngsters the last few years.

Would be funny if he got shirt number 5, and had his first name on the back.

20 goals in 37 matches last season. Coming to a tougher league now, in a worse team with less support, I'd say realistic would be 10-12 goals assuming that he evolves as a player this year. If we get a good winger in before the season starts, I would say 15 goals would be realistic.

It is, but its not funny.

Ah ok, the way he is supposed to be used. Promising!

Don't think McClaren rated Tiote much either? Seem to remember that he was mostly used as a sub at Twente?

Incredible to think that they had Pogba and Pique, and didn't given them a chance/let them slip away.

So Colback starting as captain again. Oh Schteeve....

Someone tweet Neil Sika (sp?) and see if he can cast

Guess I'm mistaken there, though my point about them having no incentive to improve still stands. They're still getting a hefty wage and Krul is still the backup keeper at his national team So obviously an incentive is to become Dutch no.1? You could say that, but then it depends on the player and what's more important to him. Krul's delivered some good performances before, so if he's not doing it now, the manager should come under the scanner Also got new competition from Ken Darlow now.

Serbs be crazy. Hope we get him.

If we sign those four I'd say half the forum would drink their own p*ss. I'd be content and would probably watch games, because as of right now i don't plan to. It´s really weird. I almost would drink my own piss if we got those four. Yet, I would not be more than content as well.

One of my biggest wishes (that are somewhat realistic) for Newcastle United this season is that Aarons has an injury free season and is given a lot of chances to play.

Don´t see the need for a striker or two. Maybe Austin because he has a cool name and offers something different, but get someone to create for Cisse and Perez and we will get goals. Spend some on defenders instead.

Sounds familiar...

We're going to get smashed.

Pardew had a record in breaking records for us, so you never know. It is not impossible, to put it like that. That being said, I doubt we wouldn't have got at least 4 points more as well, so I sort of disagree with myself now, even though I might end up having been right...

I even if wages are down in % compared to turnover, it doesn't necessarily mean that the wages were reduced, they could (and probably have) have increased. By 25 million? No 64,3% of 102,3 = ~65,8 60,4% of 117,5 = ~71 So, wages have increased by rougly £5,2m.

Finally someone looking at it in simpler terms. I think so too btw.

ty for free money Arsenal

Not watching this in a million years.

I think and hope we are safe. We were supposed to be in Newcastle 12:50 or so, so i guess there's room for delay if the travel time is not as announced. Thanks for the tips though!
