There are a lot more important things to thank God for.

Does Skjelbred play on the wing or through the middle or off the striker? Details people! Details!

If we're really after Johnny Evans then Taylor won't get off the bench. I hope we have paid him accordingly. Backup CB. Period.

alternatively you don't run a business into the ground and make it LESS professional if you ever intend to sell it for a profit do you? Think this guy made my point a bit better ...

With the number of changes he has made since aquiring the team, particularly at board room level, I just find it hard to believe he is planning on selling anytime soon; and therefore having everyone he's just brought in on their way out already. He also genuinely seems to enjoy himself supporting and owning the club. It looks to much like a long term move and these crap stories are just boring. It's Kenny and Freddy I tell you.

Basically, Majorca have screwed up by trying to get too much money for the guy everytime a club showed interest. The player has taken matters into his hand and taken advantage of the Webster ruling, which Majorca clearly weren't well versed on, in order to get out. Now Gutierrez former club who should have been receiving some money for any transfer are also screwed because he wasn't sold, but bought his contract out. I reckon they fully expected Gutierrez to be sold by Majorca and were waiting for their cut of the cash, however Majorca simply messed up. I reckon we don't have a thing to worry about. We will likely pay some compensation but it will be nowhere near what they are asking for.

Awesome.

Mate I've just nearly decapitated some goon in the office for saying that. Turns out he's a toon fan that only reads the sun, no other publications, just the sun. Says it all really. His card is marked. They must have found that their paper is quite popular with the people of Newcastle hence all this nonsense, so guys stop buying the newspaper!

Freddy and Kenny up to no good again I see ... Obviously pissed at the fact we just got Gutierrez for free before the fat wally could do anything about it.

This is phenomenally bad ... it is beyond belief. How do you hear that and feel it is good enough to release?! Love the way you can hear him running out of breath at certain points too Crazy.

Spear us the details New Toon sensation Aaron Spear pays homage to former Toon legends Bramble and Dyer with home video production of his own.

If we are interested it won't be too difficult to get him from Udinese which is the good news. Like the article says, Inler got a chance due to injuries to their two top midfielders who should be returning next season and who are both good players. Udinese can therefore afford to sell Inler for some extra cash. Hope this is true as I liked the look of him in the Euros and he seems to tick all the boxes for the type of players we are now targetting.

Oh yes, of course. Apologies.

They are idiots if they thought they were going to get £10 million for a player in the final year of his contract. Surely they forced the guys hand? It appears they screwed themselves over. Mallorca can pull out if they want. Its only a friendly and I'm sure something else can be arranged. This is very interesting as I remember Keegan saying something along the lines of Bosman's being available that were worth a lot of money but when I looked at the actual Bosman's they were crappy players. Maybe he meant Websters! Anyone want to pull together some other interesting Webster possibilities? I'm crap at this sort of thing.

Inler apparently just returned from a two week holiday after the Euros this week. If we are being linked with him now it means we might be getting in there early. This one might have something in it. Hope we wrap it up quickly, Butt was good last season but he should be more of a backup this year and this fella would make sure that is indeed the case.

Except you already got carried away by comparing him to Luque based on his "jogging style", complaining about him standing with hands on his hips during one Argentina attack against Australia, as well as insinuating he wasn't good based on video clips. Getting carried away doesn't just include being too positive it can also be a case of being overly panicky or negative. Just saying ...

I'll back our scouting team and Keegan's eye for a player over your dodgy attempt at scouting. You didn't even make the effort to pull up his FM stats so you clearly cannot be taken seriously. Don't give up the day job James.

You are either a very funny guy or completely insane?! "Casual jogging style remind me of Luque"?! WTF! We need to get over this whole Luque thing. It was a rushed signing and he was brought into the club when it wasn't in the best of conditions. He also got injured very early on. In all it didn't work out. Move on please! If we are going to start disregarding players based on casual jogging styles that resemble Luque's then we might as well just set SJP alight and forget football altogether.

FYP

Fair play to Dave tbh. It's so annoying and frustrating when you patiently wait for something to happen with no evidence that things have gone tits up, but people continuously speculate that things have gone wrong and constantly harp on about this being the case. You are given a hard time for being patient and choosing to have some faith in the club and are labelled as being naive. Well if we do make some promising signings, which is exactly what today's is, then I see no reason why certain people shouldn't be given a hard time also. Why should they get off scott free? There will be more of these to come and people will look very silly. So yes, repent of your foolish ways in here and cease from being so pessimistic doom mongers for freaks sake.

You hope any any non premier league signing you make adjusts to the league so no point worrying about that. It will be the same for the likes of Modric as well. At least this guy is tall and well built and is Argentinian, and on the whole they tend to have some fight in them. Interesting article in the Times today where Wenger has apparently said he doesn't think Modric will be able to handle the rigours of the Premier league.

Can apparently play on either wing or through the middle too. Versatility is always good.

Nice! Will be handy when he puts two past Tottenham.

This guys name will have to go on the back of my shirt now as he has signed on my birthday. Guaranteed to be a legend.

I think it's funny how a few people think this means Milner is leaving. I don't think this is necessarily the case. It will probably mean that Milner will now come of the bench as a backup option, and this is exactly how things ought to be if he is to remain at this club. He is still young and should be working to improve on his game as he is undeserving of a first team place as things stand.
