Im torn on this. If I were the owner, and for some obscure reason Pardew were manager and unsackable, I would undermine him on this one as well. Generally I oppose to stuff like that, unless the bid received is too good to turn down.

Poor kid Definitely living the dream that one. He had some La Liga offers but obviously a premier league club will pay him more. I have never been to Stoke, but going off here it must be a horrible place. Meant he can now say he's played for STOKE and BARCELONA..... plus with someone of experience of both clubs we will finally know the answer that the human race has wanted to know since the beginning of time.... Who would win !? We will all find out if Barcelona can cut it on a cold Tuesday night at stoke . I'll also add im quite pleased with this signing and its very early days as well, not waiting till deadline day is a bonus Muniesa isn't great shakes to be honest. Given our predicaments at CB the fact he couldn't get a game here should be a hint. Sat in the bench in a CL final though. Won´t matter as he is already earmarked for a fullback position.

Not in public, and as many has pointed out he seems to be a decent guy who wouldn´t do something like that. So we haven´t got a clue what the deal is basically.

Feel exactly the same, him and Yanga-Mbiwa are a couple of the most exciting signings we've had for absolutely ages. It's not slagging from my end. I think he (and Mbiwa for that matter) will become a brilliant player for us as long as he is utilised correctly. It's just that some people seem to percieve him to be something he isn't due to his size. Nobody can deny that he is poor in the air, pulls out of challenges and rarely does any defensive work to make note of. He just isn't that sort of player. His qualities far outweigh his weaknesses though.

From what the little I saw of him last season, James MacCarthy from Wigan would be ideal together with Cabaye and Sissoko.

Agree to an extent with Mole, only thing i'd like to point out is that while Sissoko is physically strong, he is far from a physical player. Hes got the worst timing of headers in the squad, so he never wins any duels. He never tackles, and pulls out of challenges. If we needed some steel in midfield, he is not the player I would consider as the solution.

Due to life I have recently been able to get to Newcastle more often than when I was a student both in terms of finacial and work related reasons. I love the city, so I guess I have to find other things to do and spend money on when I travel there until this ends.

Imagine if he'd made it all up? We can only dream. Clutching at straws - he has done this once before, and the club have yet to confirm this. Make it so!

Madness

This will either go horribly wrong or distinctly average.

Needs a word with his cabaye driver then. You fly to Marseille to get to Monaco. Erm yes i know, rather like a plane the joke flew straight over your head didn't it I got yours....was Jacks post one as well?

Stoke

We have been at the top of the injury table for a long time, bar 2010/11 and 2011/12 seasons. There is definitely something wrong with the way we train and handle injuries (provided they are being looked after in-house), as it has been an issue the last 10-11 years it cannot be a coincidence.

Im a sick bastard. Checked if it still was there....mods on holiday or something?

fucks sake

http://www.lyngdalsavis.no/index.php/africa/item/1312-se-farsund-lyngdal-2-direkte Hungry for some football? Watch my hometown team FIL (white and green) LIVE at home against the neighboring rival Lyngdal 2 (red) playing in the fourth (or was it fifth?) tier of Norwegian football. Currently losing by 1 goal I think. 16 minutes into second half. Legal stream!

Callum Roberts sounds like a championship standard midfielder from Scotland. Unless you have substantial arguements for why you think he has this great potential I can only assume you are related to him in some way.

Based on names, I would say Adam Armstrong looks to be the best prospect of the lot.

Nah, if they beat us, and we finish above/win something, they are NETD If we beat them, and they finish above/win something, they are NETD Basically, we can win some battles, but we will never win the war. Edit: If we beat them, and finish above them, they are still more classy which at the end of the day is the only thing that matters.

Or, why don't they just have a general "Transfer news in the press" and a "Twitter Bollocks" thread? Everyone can´t be perfect

Think the Cronaldo one someone from N-O participated in making was better. edit: was assorted entries, but still quite a few of Cronaldo
