Ronaldo

After Kinnear's 2nd departure from the club Pardew said he'd be getting more directly involved in transfers. He did bring in Obertan before as you know, but Colback had Pardew written all over him also. Although it's unlikely, he could have wanted Riviere too. Colback has opportunism written all over him: Free, young and decent.

Moore wasn't that bad, either.

We knew he was a downgrade on Hatem when we bought him, no?

He's not?

Titus was fucking Maldini compared to Williamson, man.

What was a crap striker with a poor record costing £5m+ doing on this dossier anyway?

Wait till we find out who's in goal before dropping big money, mate.

You on drugs? We lost 3-0 to them at home in the near-relegation season and he was repeatedly asked for a wave in the next game. Those people should have been shot in the face. Twice. Would prefer the second shot to go in the chest, like.

I think Dummett's first choice now with Haidara backup. No way having 3 LBs is acceptable at this NUFC.

I like him too. But his days of starting for Newcastle United might be at an end.

And? He's, at least in some sense, on the payroll. Mention it next time you're on it. I'll try and get on tomorrow night, Ronaldo. We'll see. You need to lay into Lowes, man. Lay into that fat ugly cunt and make him cry.

Who knew a striker who could barely manage 1 in 4 in France would turn out to be utter bollocks.

Yourself, for expecting owt different.

This fucking place, man. Embarrassment.

But not nearly enough to justify Williamson, Gouffran and Riviere in the side. Stop making excuses.

He's probably at least 12 years off his goalkeeping prime, man. Of course he's not fucking good enough by a long shot.

Tenuous to the point of brilliance.

On the other hand we could've easily had Ba and Remy for less than £10m combined.

Dear God.

Find me a 21-year-old keeper with 1 start in professional football who is. It's like saying water isn't wine. This! Krul was tidy on his debut against Palermo iirc. And frequently looked crap thereafter until nailing down his place 5 years later. Prime examples of why you can't judge a young keeper, and you certainly can't judge them on saves because they're all good at making them.

He'll be a bag of nerves for the derby now.

As if Bournemouth and Liverpool is televised over this.

Wasn't there a stat once that suggested Sol Campbell was the quickest player in the league despite being about 36 (and about as athletic as an arthritic tortoise) at the time?
