Newcastle Fan

Was just thinking that. How does the club lose out on a testimonial? Surely all parties make money on it. This, and i don't think James will be asking for less that what Harper is already getting paid, bullshit imo..

Slightly gutted, I miss the player he was before that injury. best finisher the premiership has had since robbie fowler before that injury With an outstanding recored of 6 goals in 41 games?

Best and Ranger scored! Edit: just how good are those Routledge assists!

A side note but Ian Harte's scoring record for them is super impressive, 17 goals in 48 games!

I was so exicted when i heard the Annan story then i came here..

I like them tbh.

Would have him here in a heartbeat.

Raul and Guti gone now, two of Madrid's players that have been there as long as i can remember. Going to be weird this. Raul isn't gone yet.

I don't think it would've changed anything, i remember Luque given a "chance" by Roeder when he gave him a runaround with the reserves, scored two fantastic goals from long range, and it didn't change a single thing, he was still out of the team, i think its pretty hard to motivate yourself to play well when your team is managed by cunts such as Kinnear and Roeder. really hope Xisco takes this chance with both hands and proves himself.

I don't think he can be compared to Butt but i'm pretty happy with him getting a second chance, we spent 5 million on him and the least we can do is try and make it worth it, i really don't think he can do any worse than Leon Best tbh.

I'd honestly take my chance on Krul/Forster than sign David fucking James.

Where was this man? I'm with Cajun, can't see any compensation amount rising to that much. I'm not sure of the exact rules but I thought this compensation malarky applied when a player was raised and trained at that club. Everton signed him from Plymouth. Perhaps I'm wrong though. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=808283&sec=transfers&cc=4716&campaign=rss&source=soccernet I find it hard to believe aswell.

Just stumbled on a picture of him training with us, didn't realise we still have him

I just read that we might have to pay around 4m for Everton if we sign him, hope thats not true.

I did a google search and found out that Krul, Harper and Forster are all linked with a move away from here according the diffrent sources

Really good signing that is. hope its announced as soon as possible.

Your Singapore parakeet was predicted by psychic Jayson back on page one. http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,70207.msg2403375.html#msg2403375 I think the Parakeet made a mistake in the semi's. So thats it then, whenever you have a crucial life decision to make, always go with what an Octopus says, not a Parakeet.

Pablo Barrera set to join West Ham, really wanted to see him here

Scored 38 goals this season for Benfica, not the only one to look average at the World Cup. Shocking when it comes to International football (4 goals in 33 games) could barley win a ball in the Air or even control one for that matter. they should probably just lower the attributes to all players playing in shit leagues imo.

Whoever put Oscar Cardozo's attributes in FM needs murdering tbh.

Brazil's subs today included Kleberson and Gliberto, the same Gilberto who was played for Tottenham and was so shit that they tried almost anything just to keep him from playing. quite a turnaround for both to feature in this game seeing that their career seemed to be going downhill just a couple of years ago.

Pablo Barrera Looks like a really good player, will be worth having a look at him.

What a game that was, i was supporting Slovakia as if they were Newcastle! glad Italy are out but i really don't get why Quaquerla didn't play before this game, brilliant player..

He's hasn't been good at all in the transfer market, we were in a shit league and pretty much anyone would've done something, i think most of the times the players he brought actually ruined the harmony of our squad (yes we have that..) i'd rather we keep the same team then buy a shit players that aren't going to improve us much, however is Samuel is only brought in as a back-up i can't see much harm in that, but can't we at least buy a young player ala Danny Simpson who can devolep a bit from being Enriques understudy?

Last time in the Premier League we had Enrique, and if he was injured, N'Zogbia or Duff played there. It's a helluva lot to expect of Kadar to step up when he's naturally a centre-back anyway. It's a body in the door and he'll hardly play as long as Jose's fit. If Enrique's on his way (which I seriously doubt), and this is the replacement, then yeah, shocking transfer. Spot on. I'd honestly rather just play Tamas Kadar, Ryan Taylor there than to buy a new players, or at least loan someone who's good at that position. Fabio Aurillio is free why not go for him?
