Real quotes!!!! If it is a loan with first refusal to buy for £5m it's a great deal IMO.

This is basically what I'm worried about, will just try to enjoy the game and being back in the big time.

Let's hope everyone else takes that approach.

They'd probably want more than that.

We should definitely be in for him, ideal solution for him and us.

:clap2: Remember how fucking great Jonas looked on the opening day at OT two years ago? Howay the lads! Yeaaaahhhh booooyyyyyyy!

I'm clenched already.

West Brom will probably go down, so will Blackpool... Wigan look horrible and so do West Ham. Birmingham could turn out to be poor, so could another couple of teams. We're quite bad, but so are a lot of other people.

This is an old-school transfer though... claim and counter-claim, agents spouting off in the press, incompetent club president. Classic stuff.

I've got one, but I'll only sell it to you permanently, and only if my other one doesn't sell as well. It's slightly temperamental mind, doesn't always want to work.

Everyone just makes up footballers' salaries anyway, a few years ago everyone used to say players were on 60k, now it's 100k.

Sheer brilliance.

Is this from the same guy who said he saw him on the Bigg market last night? no, this is what i think You think he might have been spotted at the airport?

I'll pop to a few more of their games if that happens.

Can we send this thread to people who are saying 'Newcastle fans are expecting Europe'?

Always thought he didn't get a fair crack in the Premiership, decent player.

Basically, anything a football person says in the press should be taken as bollocks... especially if the subject is transfers and the person is a 'president'.

I have to admit he got too big for his boots towards the end. For example, who's to say that Gullit wouldn't have produced a decent team if he hadn't been punted out after dropping Al? Total legend though obviously... that's a minor criticism (and more of the club than of Shearer himself).

I've always wanted to write a computer program that could beat Lawro, just by always going for the home team or the top 4 team by 1 or 2 goals. I think it would have a good chance.

Well he loses either way with the insane way this has panned out. If BA stays then he has a highly-paid moody motherflipper on his books, who doesn't want to play for Deschamps. I'd say letting him leave is the only sensible thing to do at this point.

Can you go back and post that on page 7?

But also encouraging, because teams that were miles behind us are now miles ahead, showing how quickly things can be turned around.

Don't see what NUFC have done wrong over this at all. We haven't shot our mouths off, we haven't done anything except go after a player who would be good for us. If we can't afford him that's a bad outcome... but we all know our spending power is limited.

I still thought we were? " " Oh right, I assumed the "offer was too low" response meant that we'd offered to buy, especially since Marseille had alrieady ruled out a loan deal.

At least we've actually made an offer, I always thought we were talking strictly loan only.
