They're not. Obviously they're by far the best club out of the two at this point, and have been for over decade.

Why not? He'll not be motivated to play for us and we'll be fine without him. We'd be much better with him. The £25m helps us far less.

Why would anyone want us to accept £25m at this stage? Really are some hideously dense fuckers on here, like.

Exactly. Thought they were supposed to be a big player now with all this extra cash but signed Ashley Williams and bolaise. Shows how attractive a club they are. 7/2 to still be a Newcastle player at 11pm looks good You say that like Ashley Williams isn't a better CB than anyone we've had on our books since Woodgate.

Anyone who rates Dummett is clearly an idiot. Like the bloke in your avatar you mean? We both know that if the time comes that the forum starts rating him at the level that you do, you'll do a complete heel turn on him and insist that he's a terrible coward. I don't even rate him that highly. Good defender and a good lad, but a poor footballer. Definitely the type you want at the club, though.

Why the fuck would they?

Kane wasn't even a year older, actually. Agree with the rest.

Rafa was picking Tiote at the back end of last season so he clearly doesn't think he's shit. If anything, asking for a fee suggests that he knows he's still got value, if we're letting him go it's because he's got a year left on his contract and he wants a move. If he doesn't get it, he'll probably feature in quite a few games this season. Steven Taylor too.

What the hell are you going on about, man?

Which is why i say get rid, it will spoil the togetherness around the club, something we havent had for yonks Yeah, I said first game. After that literally no one will give a fuck.

Howay man when has Tiote ever been useful against teams of this standard? He's generally always been a hinderance against teams we've been expected to beat - and that was before his athleticism took a nosedive. He'd literally just help play the opposition back into the game with his stupid fouls in dangerous areas and inability to keep the ball when pressed. Rafa knows he's shit, so it's all moot.

I think he'll probably get booed on the ball continuously for his first game back.

Seydou Doumbia on loan. Remember someone arguing at length (with me) that he was as good a signing as Remy would be. Fucking hell.

When the fuck did it become so acceptable to wear a suit jacket and tie with fucking running shoes, man? Just atrocious.

Good job they aren't his competition, then.

Dummett's a bit susceptible to getting wrong-footed/turned but he's rarely beaten by pace, like.

Rafa said this would likely happen 3 weeks ago.

Good. Get him some games at Championship level.

He's probably a decent Championship winger. We could do better and a lot worse. We are doing worse with our current LW.

I'll bite. Instead of who?

Do you think I got where I am today because I dress like Peter Pan here?

9 assists is an achievement in itself in that side.

There wasn't more competition, though. Shola was injured for a massive chunk of the second half of the season and Harewood (who'd kept Carroll out of the side at times) went back to Villa. So yeah, less competition. Best was good for us in the PL (after Carroll had played his last game for us) but he had no affect on AC in the Championship whatsoever. And this, exactly.
