Nobody is bumming Ashley, some people are just giving him a small amount of credit for a small number of good decisions.

Er, no they aren't.

True, it does look more promising than we would have hoped though - from what I'd heard I thought he would be off to Everton or somewhere like that.

Sounds a decent signing, shame he'll be off back to Chelsea but a good option in the meantime.

Crystal Palace went bust on Monday, met the admin crew on Tuesday, he saw SJP on Wednesday - then Thursday, Friday and Saturday he signed on Sunday. It's nailed on TBH (it sort of works).

If he's badly injured then it's bad obviously, but I would rather he's out long enough to recover and not rushed back. The cover we've got now should allow that.

Moses is boarding a train at Kings Cross as we speak man. Probably.

Oh right.

I was going to say that as well, although obviously could yet turn out to be longer.

Jose out for a while? Or is he thinking of *gulp* cover? We've been after left back cover for a while, I think the way Kadar has filled out he's a centre back primarily now, he doesn't look lean enough to be a full back, likewise with Williamson. Sure they can cover there but if Enrique's out for a month that's 5 games or so, I think we'll be in the market for a young left back to back up Enrique in the long run Yeah, I understand the intention. I just can't believe we're 'planning' like that. In your face. Only joking.

I wouldn't think so, these are loan signings... pretty sure they're intended as backup.

We have to send him back until the fax comes through with the permanent contract, then we have to get him back up. He'll be spending the next two days on the M1 and M6.

Looks like that photo was taken by Dennis Wise. He's a big lad.

He's taller than the training ground, that's not bad.

That's definitely it, I agree. Woo!

To be fair though, if there are no decent Prem sides in for him then this is the sort of signing we should be tying up. Fingers crossed it's true.

Dr Ashley and Mr Hyde, something is up here. It's almost too quiet....

Whoah, calm down NUFC. It had been mentioned that we wanted to tie up our business before the weekend, hopefully Moses will be added before the end of the day.

He's turned out to be alright this season though. True, but this is the exception. I believe if we get promoted he'll be way out of his depth again.

When that guy says Tyneside I just think of PES. The way he says Newcastle is absolutely unique as well! Sounds like he wants to say Newcarstle but he's stopping himself and it's coming out something in between.

Another 6' 4" player, can't hurt.

Is he a LB?

No way.

Alan Smith - though he was a decent signing when he arrived.

Where did the Victor Moses thread go?
