Broadsword

There was talk of a large deposit into the NUFC account from some solicitor or something around 2 weeks back. Hope its someone who knows how to make a proper decision.

Nothing like as much as the Corporation tax due on it if he doesn't either spend it or pay off some of the debt. No tax as the club has huge losses to offset.

If there was a Newcastle City then I'm sure we would get called "United" too. And if there was no Manchester City then Man United would get called Manchester, like we get called Newcastle. It's all very simple.

Seriously some of the crap on this thread is ridiculous.

Dear god, we have Wolves, West Brom and Birmingham to play at home.

We have so much loss being carried forward that we won't pay a penny tax at all on the caroll sale.

I think Villa have some stinkers left, Arsenal and Liverpool, 3 derbies, away at Everton, West Ham and us. If they can't avoid defeat at Home to Wolves they should be worried IMO. Agree about Wolves though, cany run in for them.

And villa.

and how on earth do you know? This is the same attitude that was shown 2 seasons ago. (And the players thought they were too good to go down as well, according to Saylor.) This season is nothing like that season. Not even close.

It just went negative today... And?

Win next week and we are there IMO. Even if we draw, we have more home games that are winnable. There's no panic yet.

How good does this look. http://www.sportinglife.com/football/live/tables/premiership.html

A strikers' value will always go up massively once people know they can score in the Premier League,Gyan never started a league game for us till November but still has 10 goals and that's not bad for a few months work in his first season. But you guys overpaid in the first instance so all that has happened is that he has justified his fee. No increase. Look at Hernandez at Man United for a player thats value will have increased. Gyan can be said may be worth his fee now but that is it. And you know Tiote will go for £20m, whether he is worth that or not that would be the fee we would get.

Gyans value has not gone up by 50% in the last 6 months. If we were to sell Tiote, I think we would get £20m easily. Palacios was £16m and Tiote is a much better player. I would be gutted if we got less than £20m. And Jose would cost around £13m+ were he to sign an extension. But please don't sell them for gods sake.

Me too. Depressingly.

I actually do think this is worthy of a thread but since it probably wont make any difference anyway I'm not sure. Maybe a mod can move it if it does. Anyway, Plmouth Argyle are in a bit of a pickle and could go out of business, there's a petition online trying to raise awareness of the issue and get the shareholders to help stop the inevitable. http://www.gopetition.com/petition/42254/sign.html Baring in mind how gratious they were when we played them in the Championship and played ours songs over the tannoy when we gained promotion despite them going down the same day maybe we could all pop over and give them our support. Petitions are crap I know but even so. Great little club, we should all help to say thanks for that promotion party.

Adam Campbell

Vacant.

When he went to Boro and then when Keegan tried to get him. Both were high profile bids, well the second one certainly was.

Agree with this. Those players above are good enough to get us to a steady top 6 and push for Europe. Fill the gaps with similar quality and we could sneak 4th. It would cost millions and would take a number of years, by which time Barton & Colo would be getting on and they would need replacing too. Pop in a few duff signings and it becomes virtually impossible to compete IMO. Plus we will probably lose a few players too. Quite depressing really. jonas, nolan, taylor, simpson and williamson could be in there as well. Think williamson,s. taylor, simpson should be kept as back up. ranger out on loan for a season or 2 As backup, yes, they are not players good enough to get us competing at the top, whereas Tiote, Barton, Colo, Caroll and HBA are. Certainly wouldn't sell them.

He`d be a great replacement as well because I think he is going to be one of the best left backs in the country. Apart from him, I don`t think Newcastle have shown much interest in signing young targets from Spain.

Hehe spurs fans looking like idiots. Article is quite funny but obviously a joke, which the comments below by spurs fans fail to realise. http://threeandin.com/2011/01/21/harry-redknapp-is-making-things-small-time-at-spurs/

Not very, one report said we would offer £12m.

No, nobody seen that, post it up here, along with the picture with the lineswoman with the Henry and also the Villa joke about Young and Bent, don't think anyone has seen those either.
