How and why does the chronicle think if we buy Townsend our spending will be 38 million in Jan??

from BBC live feed: "I'd be surprised if Berahino left" Chelsea 1-1 West Brom Danny Mills Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 live Saido Berahino has come on for Claudio Yacob for West Brom, prompting a chat on 5 live about whether he might leave The Hawthorns. "I'd be surprised if Berahino left. Without a shadow of a doubt, his stock has fallen, and his price has fallen with it. He was worth £25 million - he's now worth 12 - 15 at most now. "I think Tony Pulis will happily say to other managers - 'he's not easy to control, this kid. He will cause problems.'"

no doubt mclaren will say Colback was lucky to recover so quickly but still suffering the effects from the knock therefore will be first on team sheet come the weekend

Mclaren has chatted to Perez about how down the pecking order he will be from next week onwards....

dont worry lads as soon as the lads come to the game wearing their sports direct suits we will be fine I am sure http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-expected-issued-new-10186581

cant we get a fine for lack of control of players due to too many cards

Will we appeal?

The fact how poor we been the last few seasons on top of other teams around and above us improving we need bodies in of quality just to stand still orslightly imporove depending how much new coaches and coaching will improve us four or five is desperately needed

even if it were true dunno why we would waste 15 million on a 1-4 striker we have plenty of fodder already

I wonder if they had of accepted this neanderthals offer to drag the Newcastle team back to the cave if he too would have been offered onto the board. Sigh of relief he can now concentrate on worrying about his clairvoyance business

I agree, as long as he is part of the process and has his input that's what counts, for example if they are targeting a striker, the manager says what he needs this or that characteristic/skill wise and then a list is drawn up each meeting the clubs demands for a certain age, fee, wages etc as long as the manager would be happy with any of the 2/3 on the list it isn't the end of the world he didn't get his number one pick. The issue has been we have just signed a player and said to the manager here he is make it work. Not saying its perfect as we no doubt will pick the cheaper not the best option but it will hopefully mean the manager is willing to play the person and not write them off the second they land on the training ground.

dragging it on to give time for Carver to come back from his caravan golfing holiday in order to blow away the competition plus he needs time to find a working colour printer for his best coach in the league certificate.

he is worth more than the 2 million we paid for him that's the main thing.........

I'm not wanting to back Ashley here at all because I believe he's all smoke and mirrors, however what you have said is bullshit. Looking someone in the eye is often a major sign of lying. Looking up (either to the left or right depending on which hand you right with) is a signal of either recalling information or fabricating information. based on the owners actions from day one and your insight into public speaking I chose to believe the fabricating information option

never trust a man that cannot maintain eye contact alot of that interview he spent looking off to the far right or up in the air while I appreciate he isnt a public speaker this just reminded me of a televised version of that Charnley did with the chronicle spoon fed rhetoric from someone who has shown nothing but the exact opposite of what has being peddled.

whilst that may be true from the prospective of registering of squad numbers and squad sizes we have a couple that are looking to be gone purely from run down contracts a couple more on a year or less we may try and peddle just to get a fee for them. I dont think there is an excuse this year that we cannot cut the deadwood enough in order to bring numbers in. Money sitting in surplus in the bank also means we dont have to sell to buy this year. This may be one of the only years this happens so we have to make it count. Although I dont trust the club with my season ticket money anymore god knows how many fuck ups they will make from 30-60 million being spent

like an abused spouse I want to believe he will change but so far the evidence points to it all being none identified, none goal setting, none committal and just alot of paraphrasing nonsense. The only positive which many have already picked up on he is obviously rattled or his team is he barely speaks and when he does it is always around a crisis point just have to wonder whats the point as we all know deep down nothing will change or the change will be so slight 99% will be the same and when wholesale changes are needed its the fans once again left disappointed.

I wonder how much we have increased his value by with that massive return of one goal and a big pile of missed chances ;D ;D ;D

Bare in mind that was at the end of the last financial years with a mystery 26 million unaccounted for well there may be more to spend I guess as the money made on Santon, wages saved on Ben Arfa following release (when they usually budget for the life of the contracts wages) sale of Mbiwa and Pardspew comp. However I still dont think that is enough, quality players cost money you can easily spend 15-20 millions on your striker and 10-12 million on a decent back up. Defenders maybe 10 million and wingers 10-15 million. I think we need 2 strikers, one centre midfielder 2 wingers and 2 centre halves and a left back as a minimum and on top of that you need to beef up the developmental and backup side as they are all full of plodders as proved by this half of the season. We can probably carry 2-5 below par players as long as they are getting minimal game time. The more you start thinking about what we need the more frightening it becomes as we all know we need better coaches, and fitness and conditioning people we also need a manager that can buy into a blue print whatever that may be. We also need to find new homes for those in contract who are not so good which can be a task in itself. Just pleased I dont have to get it all done in a few months of the closed season. No doubt we will end up doing something stupid like sign players without a new coach in (repeating cycles again) or we will take 6-10 weeks looking for the right coach/manager only for them to turn us down and we are right back into making a new list.........

I know money spent isnt equal to success or anything like that but if the club honestly think the 34 million in the bank is enough to solve this squads problems they have another thing coming, it was already small in size and the 3-4 out of contract players dont deserve even a 12 month extension so lighter still. The plight we find ourselves in is needing at least 6-8 players and 5-6 of them being first team quality. These need to happen soon to have a chance to bed in and a new manager brought in to have a say on Carr's shopping list. Even if they dont get final say a style of play is needed in order to take the club forward even if it takes another window or 2 to fully assemble the team required.

Mick Lowe's comments rubbing salt in my very sore wounds

While some of the reaction on here is one of the reasons they are reluctant to engage as it gets picked apart the simple rules of business is you soften bad news with good news telling loyal fans the up side is they are taking their time is just idiotic. Not only that but having sold and not replaced players then giving that as an example of what the new trusting "triangle" is about is ludicrous

The eternal optimist in me hopes it means a year of regular playing and get confidence back following the shit he has put up with and that we have someone lined up the manager likes enough to play. The doom sayer in me says one off the wage and get back out there to re increase his value to get a profit or money back and making do with kids and current crop. Its most likely the second option but ill carry oj hoping iam wrong

dribbling affliction when applying her layers of makeup

Refuses to sign contract extension so noises now coming to say he is on his way to stop another Enrique situation?
