Can they not just offer him a contract now, which he will likely sign?

Could this not have gone in the jokes thread ? Don't think so.

Awful player IMO Seconded, every time I've seen him he's been shocking.

From a purely selfish POV, it means I can watch it. Other than that it's a bit annoying.

There's something vaguely sexual about the second bit of that.

Will they not be available in sports shops anyway? They must have Charver Direct over there, surely.

Premier League experience is massively overrated IMO, just like 'World Cup experience' was with the England team this summer. Better get players with ambition, something to prove and something in their legs. I'm not saying Perch is that, but at least we aren't signing players on the decline as much any more.

Just opened this thread for the first time in ages... what's with the haters?

Onouha is quality IMO, not sure he'd be given a chance by our fans but he'd be a good signing. (Not that we'll be spending £6m)

It's literally unimaginable. It's so stupid my mind refuses to even imagine it... I just black out if I try.

Danny Simpson could never be accused of being average.

I couldn't be bothered to find the image, bravo.

Agreed. I mean, what the f*** is he going to do with £221,000 per week? What would anyone do with it? Well, Oba would spend it somehow I suppose. Presumably he'll support himself and his family, buy himself some nice things, and invest the rest in interest bearing accounts or his own personal business ventures. Like everyone with a sense of money management would. It really is not that much money. There are many people who have a much larger stream of income for a mcuh longer period of time than footballers. I don't begrudge him for following the money. That's very easy to say for somebody who is from a country like Nigeria where they are often handing out $1m wins over the phone on a daily basis. Sorry, but that was hilarious.

I don't mind versatile players as long as they only move around when needed because of injuries. They should always focus on their best position IMO.

I was just thinking this. I still think we were right to sell Milner, even though most people now seem to think he's world class.

One billion pounds a week.

Could be a soon to be departure in the works? Think many people misunderstood 'no capital outlay'. I think it meant that Ashley wouldn't be injecting loads of new money.

Just heard that on SSN's. Why is that shocking?

I feel mostly like this, we have a number of players with a point to prove... hopefully they will.

At least he's not proven to be bad at prem level, unlike most of our current players.

Why do I feel underwhelmed? Didn't we go in for him in the January window? Yep, our offer was "derisory"... surprise surprise.

Canny if true, at least we're going after people. Any source?

Mine too. Many a time watching Newcastle you can hear cries of 'FORWAHD MAN FORWAHD!' One of my pet hates is people not understanding that football is about protecting possession as much as about getting it forward. Especially evident during the World Cup when the non-fans come out of the woodwork.

All of them are eligible, all of them want to represent Germany... any questioning of them is totally irrelevant.
