Ronaldo

Taylor, who's been at fault for a goal in the majority of the games he's played in is a better option than Coloccini? right

if they think he's worth £18m they're actually all insane

Based on what? As far as I can see he's been one of our most loyal players. He's been too good for Newcastle for quite a while now, I don't want him to leave but I won't slag him off for wanting to. Whether Man City should be his destination is questionable though. He did put a transfer request in once before after being left out for one game yes, during SBR's early days unless i'm mistaken

Anelka, Duff, Hypia

Veloso, Nolan, Guthrie and Barton = Butt sold to West Brom in the summer, fingers crossed

cheers for posting. I dont think he's a great player or owt but that's a sight i'm very very glad to see

good news, good price. Fair play, still a lot of work to do though

Yeah, Okocha, Djorkaeff, Hierro, Jaaskelainen - s*** they were! Not forgetting Gary Speed of course. Oh hang on - he came from you. Stop reading the redtops and think for yourself. As much as I loved Garry Speed, i'd hardly call any of those exciting, Speed had by far his best days with us. Okocha = one of the biggest african underachievers in recent times

Ryan Taylor would be a good addition for £2-3m tbf. Him and Guttierez on the wings would give a nice amount of balance, you bring in a CM (ideally 2) and a full-back and things dont look so bad tbh. If only we had a manager up to using players correctly

rubbish, he's miles behind Joe Cole and Ashley Young for starters. Walcott and SWP are also more effective

Hope this is wrapped up today or tomorrow tbh

in a word, yes

how's that worrying? He's been our best player since he signed for us, Exactly. Anyone giving Martins grief can f*** off. Lets sell him for 10m and buy 4 players for 2m eh? That would be fuckin class. He;s comfortably our best player once Shay goes. I'm talking about the player that will win us the most points. He's absolutely indispensable and he's massively underrated by nearly all our fans. Correction: he's massively under-rated by a section of beard strokers who are keen to point out he's as thick as mince while ignoring the fact that most of our attackers couldn't punch their way out of a paper bag. Where is Gemmill these days? Don't really post much any more if you hadn't noticed. Martins is still not good enough though - the fact that his stock has risen even with me is indicative of how far we've fallen, not how good he is. The fact that we likely can't and won't sign better these days is a function of how poorly the club is being run, not of any improvement in his ability. When he gets back in the side, he'll be better than most of the other strikers we have, but his touch will still be s****, he'll still give the ball away a lot, and he'll still demonstrate a lack of basic football intelligence. If any of that makes me a beard stroker (amazing insult btw), then so be it. We miss Martins at the minute, but only because of how s*** our alternatives are, not how good he is. Seems to me you all but admit to that in your post anyway. you do realise the effect and importance of pace in the modern game don't you? Yes dear. I also realise how largely ineffective Martins' pace is because of his pea-sized brain. racist. funny you say that, crossed my mind before actually Pretty outrageous accusation just because someone doesn't think a player is very good, and just because that player happens to be black. I think Bassong's good btw. How does that fit in with your f***ed up take on things? Wasn't it you that tried to play the racist card once before then came over all OMG CAN'T YOU TAKE A JOKE!!!11 hmm, what's your take on Geremi?

yeah, like Ashley had £2b to lose in the first place, what a load of s**** as for the highlighted bit, jesus

A player with a 1 in 2 record this season is not good enough for us? Absolutely unbelievable. It's a hell of a litmus test to identify the complete cretins at the game, ask them what they think of Oba

:lol:

When are we allowed to say he's not been good enough? When he's gone in the summer having been relegated as the most expensive defender in the club's history? The lad needs a season in a normally funtioning team, not this shower of s****. Who was the last defender a club paid £10m for who needed 12 months to settle in? His weaknesses, being getting turned, physical weakness & appalling defending when forwards are attacking the ball into the box, aren't anything that will be fixed by having time to settle. He needs to start looking like a good defender now. Errr...Vidic? tbh Liam's argument is flawed anyway as it's fair to say that most teams in a position to spend £10m on a defender generally have a decent enough midfield in place

said it about 3 weeks back that Wise would be manager before march

voted 5 a while back, at least a 7 now

our team on saturday will probably be the worst seen since 1993 tbh

Refering to our owner and manager

The radio are a fucking disgrace like, blaming Harper for Bellamy's goal yet Given could literally head the ball into his own net and not get any criticism cunts

£15-£20M for Given and N'zogbia would keep us up if it was spent. Yet here we are approaching the 29th of January. These cunts really should hang their heads in shame.
