You use rtg for NUFC team news? Team news for them. Wanted to know if the Korean lad was playing tonight.

Hamburg's center-half pairing is Bruma and Mancienne. So far they've both been abysmal.

I think I'm going to just watch the Hamburg match today. I haven't been able to sit through a Liverpool match since Carroll moved. Enrique will only make it harder.

Watching Hamburg v. Hertha Berlin, my boy Son Heung-Min starting up front for Hamburg. NUFC Supafan Skjelbred also among the Hamburg squad.

No Ji Would have made this marginally more interesting.

No idea why Mereiles is being frozen out of the team to make room for Adam and Henderson.

Can't Pieters play in other defensive positions? If we can't have two players for each defensive position we could do with someone like that. I've also theorized that Pieters might possibly be a "Perch replacement" (a versatile defender) and we might be after a second left back, but given past history, it does seem unlikely that we'd shell out 6m+ on two defenders with one of them not even meant to be first choice.

Looks like Pieters is going through, makes this more unlikely.

7m Euro would be about 6m Pounds? What's the exchange rate these days?

Was checking SMB in case they had team news for tonight, found that they already have a thread with 35 replies on Eric Pieters

Just realized that Ji Dong-Won might be making his Premiership debut today. Should be interesting to see how he fares.

Gah, still 8 hours away. Can't wait for this.

Would have some conflicting emotions to say the least if him and Carroll ended up destroying Sunderland tonight.

He never shown that with us. I am glad to see the back of him. Carroll is an angel compare to this one. The body-language police were right all along

They've had a decent window to be honest. Haven't really strengthened but haven't gone backwards despite losing some key players, which isn't easy for a club in their position.

Wish we'd play Best ahead of Shola if we're playing 2 up front. Shola seems to be preferred for some reason.

K-League at 8, Liverpool and Sunderland at 12, us at 2:30 Such a happy day. Football is back

If we're willing to stump up 6m for Pieters, You'd assume we'd be willing to pay slightly more for this guy?

Ah yes, I remember him being turboshit and giving away the ball endlessly in that game after he claimed he was the best midfielder in England.

Think he might have a blinder as he'll feel he has something to prove.

Interesting. It was previously said that we were going to sign Pieters regardless of whether Enrique left or not, so I suppose it's possible that we're after two left backs. The way things have been going for us this summer though, I fully expect the thread title to be changed to "Lyon reject 'derisory' bid from NUFC for Aly Cissokho" or "Aly Cissokho reiterates desire to stay at Lyon and fight for place" by the next time I check.

Did you miss the part where they acquired Adebayor? They actually got him?

Kevin Nolan - 5m Yohan Cabaye - 5m Jose Enrique - 6m Erik Pieters - 6m So no worries lads, we'll be buying a 35m striker soon enough.

It's mild consolation that Spurs can't seem to buy a new striker either.
