That would be a great basis for a decision considering he would be third/forth choice at Arsenal behind Van Persie, Adebayour and walcott(?). If Oba goes to Arsenal he may as well have stayed at Inter. Mind you he will be 3rd choice here as well and still get plenty of action I dont see owen or viduka staying fit all season, also I see us changing the set up to start martins in certain types of games and the team on a whole I can see operating more on a rotation basis.

only reason for ground sharing is if your skint and need to raise capital and I dont think either pool or everton are cash strapped never going to happen and glad it doesnt every club deserves a place to call its own. Could never see us changing our ground name to "st james's stadium of light".

What 'must be Motta'? what ya say about my Motta Dave??

agreed at the time he came 2.5m seemed good bit of business, now if we cant give him away and we have to keep then hopefully he will only be deserving of the odd cameo appearance if the 1st and 2nd ooh and the academy lads are all used up.

all we need now is an age reversing drug and Shearer comming back as a tenacious 24yr old

Exactly we aint exactly strapped for cash and needing to get him away in case he flops, he is young, can only get better working in a better team with the right coaching you can see alot of his weaker elements going and the things that make him special becomming more apparant. Give the lad a chance one season wonder he isn't and worse comes to the worse he flops and we sell him off, being written off because he didnt blast in 30 goals or score hatricks like no tommorow does not mean he is a bad player.

Nah, we established that doesn't count because he bought Jeffers. dont forget Dave the fact that the ones that do think he can come good think it can only be with wenger.

Its like we are shopping at ford garage and getting a bmw for the same price, would never imagine rodent ever doing this sort of business. Thankfully you never need imagine it again. Thankfully if you do, imagination is all it is! I do sometimes wonder if a club will ever take a chance on souness or rodent again and if so at what level. Back to the who to sign business there are so many possibilities and there is nothing stopping us gathering a good squad on small fee's only if we are going to spend big lets hope there will be no discontent from the rest of the squad if we have to start pulling out the big wages and massive signing on fee's (we have had enough of that culture surely)

You can buy effective, versitile defenders on a budget how else does a player go up in value ? by being a relatively cheap purchase who performed well and boosted their profile.

Spot on. No club ever makes their budget public anyway and they'd be idiots if they did. TBF I dont wank over anything football related thanks, but in fairness the only positive I see from this being "leaked" is the fact it shows the new owner is keen to back the current manager and the club in general. I dont care if we spend 100million I have learned over the years massive spending does not = trophies, winning everything, beating everyone etc

Solano is a much better back up for RB but geremi is still young'ish and certainly would keep carr out the team "prays to the football gods"

And we have no evidence that we dont as no one knows what ashley wants to do but looking just at the intial buys and what we are being linked with does not mean anything.

or on the other hand we do have this magic 50m to spend but have a paper thin squad and have gotten rid of dead wood aswell we really need to buy these sorts of players as well as the bigger signings its a balancing act I would not say its a bad thing spending small so early on in the transfer window.

£50m to be honest Hes already spent over £8million But we got 6.5 back from parker so total spend is peanuts not 8m

that would make sense if we were to switch to a back 3 you really need a "no non sense" defensive unit with little to know creative play comming from the wing backs.

Cause this is newcastle united we EXPECT something to go wrong Dave come on now. Fucking hell not at this stage. owt is possible when your talking about the toon. Not that I'm one of the people thinking it won't just cant seem to get rid of that lil bastard of me sholder saying "john be warned if there was a way to fuck it up the toon will find it"

Cause this is newcastle united we EXPECT something to go wrong Dave come on now.

even the best teams in the world buy players where 100% of there game is perfect. You usually get two types of players the flair type that have the tendency to go missing. The ammount of times I remember screaming for robert to look at the ball when its heading towards his goal and he isnt helping the team to defend. Then there is the battlers no great skill but what they do they do well and will always put a performance in for the team. Now I'm not saying there is no middle ground in these two types but you certainly can see more elements of milners game being the hard worker type, and dyer the flair player who is very good on the ball. If and this is a big if we get rid of Milner I would want it to be for someone who is a massive improvement and as i have said before sinse we have other areas of the squad to strenghten a versitile player that can play on both wings who is only 21 is definetly worth keeping.

THF the main reason I see the want to jump on the "kick owen out bandwagon" is still the issue of massive investment with little pitch time. I personally would like him to stay as he does have at least 3-5 top years in him (injuries making the difference) and for the price we would get back to him I dont see there being a bigger shirt and marketing seller than owen.

I always appreciate other fans comming on here but I'm guessing this forum the majority of the people on here are newcastle fans either "always had a soft spot for them" or "life long fan or as long as I can remember" Making threads about who is better than who usually ends up with most going for the toon player. Sometimes I feel I could go anywhere to get a negative newcastle view fuck we are a negative bunch of supporters at times as has been highlighted by massively knee jerk reactions based on one or two performances. Lighten up is all I'm saying and if you really cant stand a newcastle love fest then why not fuck off to a forum where they only want you to rip things to shreads.

If we were to sign him (big if as far as im concerned) I can see the reasons for the move. He can play in more than one position and possibly SA is resigned to the fact that he cannot get a pile of players in so getting versitile players in is the key. The why's and wherefores of why someone would choose us and as usual we never do get to know.

This is newcastle we buy the best to spoil their talents. We make players injury prone. We stuff players in goal fish bowls. We give players 20 seconds on the ball if bad then hated by least 30% of fans forever. I could go on... The media just loves a dig at us as its easy as Dave said must be a very slow news day.....

you dont become a mega rich person unless you know how to play dirty even the elements of our board have seemed dodgy just you get more fucus when your one person to target. I personally have a bad feeling in my water about man city's take over just cause of what I've heard and worrying how a prime minister became so mega rich, and whats with the whole with holding his money etc. I do however hope it all goes well, when it comes to Owen why move to somewhere at potentially at level footing with ourselves (please dont shoot me for that) we on paper have the better players I believe but both have stars in the team and both seem to be close to mega rich owners. So there is no real reason to leave they arent a top four team and are as miles off as we are (if not further)

how about "hey I didnt know people could sit in a scale model for a 50,000 seater stadium wow shrinking technology must be advancing quicker than i thought"
