The whole team as we know it is being disassembled man, jesus christ.

The more I think about it the more retarded this is. Worse idea than the Carroll sale for me.

Even if we're keen to sell, it's insane that nobody else would be in for him. For what it's worth I think the club executives never really liked the existence of "this group of lads" and they made up their minds to disassemble what they saw as "player power" as soon as they could afford to do so. That kind of thinking no doubt largely motivated the Hughton sacking and the current ostracizing of Nolan and Barton during the off-season. It's a risky decision and I'm certainly not happy with it. Reeks of Mike Ashley's pathological inability to deal with anybody who has a stronger personality/presence within the club than he does. (Shearer, Keegan etc.)

I don't see how we could possibly convince him to stay with our summer activity. If I'm Jose Enrique I'm looking for a club that could offer me CL football now or at least have a very good chance of doing so in a year's time, because I'm good enough to be starting left-back for such a club. No matter how much money we spend this summer, we're not going to be that.

What was the reason the fact that we were after him had to be secret?

Who'll miss part of the season anyway. Madness For a fee of something like 12m+ Yes, they really did need another flashy winger who can't finish, didn't they?

Do you realize how much of a buzzkill that was man? I'm on the verge of buying a ticket to Leeds.

I just read through page 270. Dave, may I punch you in the face?

Someone actually suggests a realistic target

Ah, Joaquin. I kind of feel bad that the defining moment of joy in the lifetimes of about 50 million people involves him bawling his eyes out on the pitch.

This is different though, the "international midfielder" was said to be a sure thing. All Douglas knows about this is that we've made a bid. I bet we make bids for a lot of people.

Let's be honest and admit that the primary reason why we think Liverpool will do well next season is because they got Carroll and will therefore succeed just to make us miserable.

I'll agree on the point that all of your cities are basically tiny hovels. Come back when you have 10 million people.

It feels good to know that we're no longer the laughing-stock club of English football.

Hulk would probably cost 35m on his own

From a genuine outsider's perspective, Liverpool wasn't that bad tbh.

A Porsche a day until he signs.

Wickham is just going to be linked with all 20 Premiership clubs. They'll get it right eventually.

He was linked to us first something like two months ago. Just a rehash of old articles. Ahhh well nevermind, what's the low down, he any good? He's alright. Big lad up front with very good technique, not really prolific though. Probably wouldn't make an immediate impact but he's the same age as Nile Ranger and better.

I don't get it

Chunnam Dragons have confirmed the departure of Ji-Dong Won to Sunderland. Fee in the region of 800,000 Pounds.

"okay, the whole 'try to draw out other clubs with newcastle's interest' thing didn't work. Maybe I should just stay."
