Thats the midfield I'm most looking forward to! Milner--------Barton--------Geremi---------Zoggy Emre Viduka/Owen----------Martins Hells yes 3-5-2 Do not be afraid of the unknown! Formations should never have to stay rigid the whole game, for example if we were winning by 3 goals or desperately needed a goal or 2 to get back into a game, I'd like to employ that 3-5-2

i'm struggling to see what you're getting at what's wrong with Geremi, Barton, Emre? Emre Go take yourself into the bathroom, look into the mirror and have a word with yourself!

Aye Shola loves daft hats. he's got a massive collection and there "very important to him" or something according to his slot on footballers cribs. "Obviously this is me hats like, I like hats obviously and i've obviously got a lot of different hats like.........obviously" Was enthralling stuff. Fixed Shola's Quote.

Just in case anyone wanted to know: Dyer's former club Ipswich inserted a sell-on clause in the deal that brought the player to Tyneside in 1999. That entitles them to 20% of any subsequent sale above the £6m we paid for him.

Prolly Tevez despite what an ugly bastard he is

Emre? Emre is one of my fave toon players, can't wait to see him back fit for us. If Faye does arrive then I'd be happy to go for a quick, young and fit lad with pace to complete the midfield, can't think of any right now tho. I'd be happy if it was some unknown player from a country like the Ukraine, say Dinamo Kiev Either that kind of player or a young right back and I'd be super duper happy. Even after Faye comes in hopefully, I'd still be happy with just that. Sam can maybe spoil us with another 1 or 2 tho.....

Eh? our squad has been thread bare all of last season, so we've gotten rid of all the shite, replace them with quality and have more squad depth now and you compare us to fulham/b'ham? Faye was Boltons best defender and for £2m, we are laughing!

thought so, my favourite on a sunday

Sauce?

I love Sam. He pisses all over Glenn

Aye haha, you can stick the word 'Official' on it all you like but if theres already a thread on it, no point. Merge or delete this methinks..

:band: :brushteeth: :icon_biggrin:

SSN said the fee to be around £24m?! not sure if it was Euros/pounds/whatever but they deffo said 24m....

well,even when he's palyed for us in europe(very well) and he could bring him back from a couple of weeks from his loan,allardyce says no,he's too inexperienced to be on the bench in the premier league I don't see anything wrong with that, he's going to learn more about football playing every week for Falkirk than sat on our bench, no point him bringing him back for a few weeks and hoping we can send him back to Scotland after that. don't you think he'd learn more on a premier bench for two weeks then playing fro 2 1/2 months in scotland than playing for 3 months up there Well I don't think Given will be out for all that long and Harper seems fit n ready so I doubt he'd get more than reserve games. He'll get his chance with us soon enough and Sam and Krul both know that as he's of such high calibre

Aye, what about it? Sam's done the best thing possible for Kruls career at the moment and its only 6 months isn't it?

Exactamundo. People are looking too far into the future, we've done that before and so we must learn that NOW is whats most important. Players will get older and in time their replacements brought in but for gods sake, as soon as they turn 32 they don't just turn into a prune and collapse!

Nothing to worry about whatsoever. We'll invest in youngsters like Sam's already said and this team will around for a good 2-3 years, with January/Summer windows passing by, youth players growing into the better setups and all of the players receiving better medical assistance than before. There'll be ups and downs like always but its all looking to be in safe hands with plenty of common sense thrown in too. Just keep looking back to the Roeder days and give yourself a slap, we're truly in a much, much stronger position than ever before. Enjoy it and stay positive, don't look for negatives all the time (even though I don't blame you for whats happened under previous managers) You lot are worrying for the sake of worrying

How old is Faye? This is such good news, we really starting to look like a full squad of real talent. We won't be any push-overs this season

Checked the ol' youtube footage and looks a fantastic player, worth the risk in my opinion if it means we have that position covered for the next 2-3 years. We've got the cash in the long run and the wisest of managers to spend it correctly. Mortal/Cashley will slowly but surely stabilize the club so these flurries will be worth it in the end hopefully. And another thing, is it wrong to love your manager.....

Can't wait until we play Spurs, I can imagine it having a bit of bite to it........ :parky:

Looks bloody solid like http://delivery.viewimages.com/xv/72910330.jpg?v=1&c=ViewImages&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF193F669B259AB992A04CCE22DD6D7B53857D15171EBB5B2757F http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/graphics/gallery/football/premiership/2005-2006/sat031205/fayepa.jpg

Let me get this right, is he a central defender who can also play defensive midfield? How about right back? or is he just comfortable in the center?

.....wh-wh-wh-WH-WHY I OUGHTA!!
