FFS, he's taking the piss. By financially illiterate he might mean bad at committing financial crime undetected I suppose.

If we pull in another player of quality and don't sell anyone, it will have been a massive leap forward for us as a club this window. If a daft offer comes in, £15m for Colo, £25m for Cabaye or £35m for Tiote, then we will sell and rightly so, but i think it's the boards plan not to sell anyone and build on what we've got, that's what the signs point to so far. I think start of the season we were lucky with injuries, but for the last couple of months we've had our fair share so hopefully no more major ones and if that is the case we could easily have one of our best points haul for, fuk knows, 6 years plus? Keep the squad together, don't get beat off the mackems, sign someone else - and this has been a brilliant season whatever else happens. Aye, potentially exciting times if we hold onto all out best players. I think we will TBH. Stick Cisse, Ba and Tiote into the team that played Fulham and we're looking at a side of serious, serious quality.

Cheers Miles.

Apparently they haven't paid him for months anyway.

Cisse will need to train with the team for a bit you would have thought, maybe stick him on the bench and give him 15 mins at the end.

Were they both rubbish over there then?

These two are obviously useless... sell the pair of them immediately. (Not really Mike).

Can't see anyone forking out the £15m+ it would surely take to get Krul. Goalkeepers just aren't that valuable and the top teams already have decent enough ones.

If we finish 5th we get in anyway, problem solved.

Two consecutive good left backs is almost unheard of TBF, even if they are different types.

I think Pards is starting to appreciate him more. He might have just been easing him in gradually. If we play him with Ba and Cisse the effect will be so brutal it's untrue, we will destroy teams. No manager can ignore that.

fucking losers.

Is it only me that gets excited every time I read the thread title? He fucking plays for Newcastle man, that's us!

Seems very cheap unless he's totally useless. That said I haven't a clue how good he is so I can't really judge.

I like it as well, much easier to see what's happening.

Many on here and elsewhere in the football world predicted Liverpool under Dogleash was one big false dawn, especially after the ludicrous signings they made over the summer. José is just a bit thick so bought it completely. He's blown his one big move of his career, as far as del Bosque is concerned he doesn't even exist. I did have doubts over some of their signings, but I thought they would probably overachieve anyway. Probably just pessimism about all our rivals being good!

No hard feelings towards Jose really. At the time we weren't good enough for him and all signs indicated Liverpool would be good. Who was to know he was joining them at the worst possible time? That's just a nice bonus for Newcastle fans.

Looked like he was missing all the way there.

Probably, it is Sunderland.

He's having to do a bit less donkey work now as well I suppose.

Fair play to him, he obviously wants to stay in France. Very pleased we ended up with Cisse.

I would have thought we should let the inconsistencies go, surely it's the best chance of it not being called the SDA all the time?

He's hardly a young hungry prospect though, he's a veteran one-club striker who seems to love the comfortable life of a NUFC squad player.

Aye, it was so ludicrous you have to put it down as a freak incident IMO. I was slumped in my chair for a while too. Went to the game expecting another nightmare trip to The Cottage, then it went better than ever imagined, then the second half was like that. My brain couldn't take it basically.

Out entire formation is basically about not getting crosses in. Almost all of our wide players play on their wrong foot.
