That's kind of the point, tying this up in December gives us the whole month to go look for defenders. Plenty of time to sell Tiote, Krul, and Coloccini too

I just dont think we need him too urgently, I'd rather sign a right winger and 2 defenders first. Obviously you'd rather have him than not have him though. The decision to continue to push this deal while the window was closed to have him ready for Jan 1st was probably made at the beginning of the season, where ostensibly our biggest priority was a striker. It makes a lot of sense if you look at it that way. Besides, this is the end of Lovenkrands. Somewhere out there Ronaldo is ing

Us spending 7m on a player? What is this slanderous libel!

I'm going to Knock out the first person who attempts a stupid pun with his name.

Venky's might be just about daft enough to take the money.

Smith would give away 1 penalty per game like clockwork. That would be five pens in five games before he's suspended and has to miss one.

I imagine I'll have difficulties in about a century or so when everyone is playing in a global football league with teams and fans using mass-transit teleporters for away matches and my local club and Newcastle finally end up in competition with one another.

The comical shitness of Blackburn almost makes this bearable.

It's pretty realistic to imagine them playing together tbh. At Liverpool

No matter the team, Asian players just cannot get the ball passed to them. Park's been at Man U six years FFS, they still don't pass to him

... why can't you be like this in our match threads, man! Because I actually care about the result? So you don't care about Newcastle's result?! It's quite obviously the other way around

... why can't you be like this in our match threads, man! Because I actually care about the result?

Cheer up guys, how epic would it be if Blackburn nicked this.

That lass celebrating.. I'm sorry but...

DOH

Sunderland second from bottom if they lose this

There's just something wrong about a Korean playing for Sunderland.

45 mins! Don't know why anyone's complaining about watching Sunderland trying and failing over and over again

Richardson

Boos at halftime For a new manager's first game

Nice dive from Bardsley

Most of that is probably true, but it's the only regime we've got so might as well live with it.

Out of our price range probably.

Riveting attacking strategy this. "Aim for Wickham"

That just means we sell him at a discount silly.
