So each team would consist of players with no affiliation to Newcastle whatsoever? Nah... that's not a testimonial. Well they do have an affiliation as Given and Harper would have played against them.

I definitely would. Yes, he's an arse, but he'd be an upgrade on Beye and for that price he'd be one worth getting. Can't see Spurs letting him go for £2m though, probably double that, so it's probably a non-starter. Upgrade on Beye? Wtf. Beye was by far our best player. Even if he is better than Beye is there any point have your 2 best players in the same position? Plus he'd want mega wages.

I think 4 is enough. We don't want to bring in more otherwise we'll have to go through another 'transitional' season as it will take a while to adapt. A squad of 26 with a decent reserve and youth squad (which I believe we have) is enough. By the way when Keegan said 3 or 4 he also said the same amount of youngsters who can be fringe players which I believe is what will happen. It will probably be 3/4 prem players plus the same amount of youngsters most likely from the continent. France if Wise gets his way. Spain if Jimenez does.

Great logic. What about 10M? Would you be happy then? Even greater logic. Is there any logic there? £2.5mill is a much lesser risk than £10mill easy math. Yeah but if we pay 10m he must be better. for example Zidane at 50m was a better player than Andy O'Brien.

Great logic. What about 10M? Would you be happy then?

Yeah, I mean really, in football you either have to have a squad of 30 year olds or one of youngsters so you don't hamper their development. It was alot better for N'Zogbia to have someone to challenge his place and Duff's been injured 90% of the time anyway so you're talking bollocks mate. Imagine we hadn't signed Duff and Charlie got injured. Do you really want to see Ameobi playing left wing again? The best clubs sign youngsters who at first may not even get in the side, maybe year 2 get 10 or so games, builidng up each year till he's first choice. That way the lad knows his position like the back of his hand and builds up rapport's with the other youngsters and established first teamers so when they do come through the bedding in period is almost nil and we've got a 10M(random) player for next to nowt.

Apparently it is inevitable that Gomez will join Bayern this summer. Klose, Toni, Gomez, and Podolski, how the f*** will that work? Ribery----------------------------Podolski ----------------Gomez ------Klose------------Toni My point exactly, would never work. Course it would. That's my formation on FM. Nah. They'd get torn apart playing with what would really be 1 in midfield. More likely will be 2 pairs With Klose and Toni not starting together and Gomez and Podolski not starting together. ------------Gomez/Podolski---Klose/toni

Instead of saying "A source close to the club", why doesn't he just say "A source close to his computer looking at tribalfootball" Can't believe he would be stupid enough to run this... oh wait yes I can.

It was well reported at the time, it was mentioned 3 posts before yours in fact. As he's a multi-billionaire, losing half a billion must be annoying but I would guess that it's not a catastrophe. As I'm not a multi-billionaire, I'm unable to judge! It was well reported at the time, it was mentioned 3 posts before yours in fact. As he's a multi-billionaire, losing half a billion must be annoying but I would guess that it's not a catastrophe. As I'm not a multi-billionaire, I'm unable to judge! According to that his worth has gone down from 2.8B to 1.5B. I think it's safe to say he'd have been pissed off.

Only 5 assists in 15 games and no goals too! Not good enough! Yeah because that's important in your holding midfielder. How many assists/ goals did/does Makelele get? Top 4 reject? Not good enough! Do you mean Makelele?

You said not to believe the Turkish newspapers.

They tend to do it as soon as they think they can't cut it before anyone else realises so they get a few bob. EDIT: Barca do not sell good players unless they have no choice. Quaresma? from wiki 'During the Euro 2004, he announced his refusal to play for Barça as long as Frank Rijkaard was in charge' They had no choice.

Says PSG are after him for 8m euros and he wants to go.

Sounds like The Mirror.

Exactly. We might as well bid 10, then he's more likely to cut it in the prem

Bring him back and offer him a player coaching role. I could see him doing a good job on the right hand side of our midfield three if thats the way we go + the amount he could teach the youngsters in terms of technique would help bring them on.

Are you trying to say that KK doesn't want him or you don't want him? If your saying that you don't want him, then i disagree with your judgement. Agreed, he's the best we could probably get at the moment. Be canny seeing him standing next to Martins and Owen as a front three.

Maybe if he can win the CL with them it'll appease Blatter so he doesn't bring in that retarded 6+5 rule.

We'll never get him anyway, I'd say... Might do if he goes to chelsea and gets loads of injuries.

Yeah but I think Bent is best when you build a team around him. I can't see KK doing that if you don't he's just an average premiership striker.

Could be us, Wise and co are based down there. Aye when i said talking to clubs in London i didnt mean London clubs i meant thats were talks are taking place I was thinking that it's a bit odd that they do the deals down there mostly. If the players like london they probably wont come up here.
