I really don't want Taylor at Captain with the way he performs (in an theatrical sense) at times. He needs to become a coller head first.

Well as quite a few have pointed out, Shearer didn't really like Martins, but he liked Bassong and Beye. Think it was that Martins "had to go" Same with Coloccini, who will be off to probaly. We can feasibly keep Bassong and Beye.

At least Lescott accomplished something other than being relegated three times. Bassong is not English, and has only put one full good season together. Not worth more than 10 million.

Would have snapped their hands off for 10 million pounds sterling. If that was the real offer which I'm almost positive it wasn't. 20 million pounds for Oba and Bassong would be fair enough business for us though. Especially as Bassong has already started to make the noises about leaving. It is August now, and I wouldn't ne surprised if some players give up the charade and start demanding transfers.

You're underrating how bad Odonkor is and just how many injuries he's had. He'll be lucky to be anything at this point.

Jonas and Bassong. Can't think of anyone elsee.

Bet its Carroll. Rather it is someone not at this club right now. Sheer numbers dictate that we ought to be getting a nother forward player.

May the great man rest in peace. The man has lived a great life and there is no tragedy to be found in this. It is better that one celebrates the life than fixates over the death. Condolences to the family, the friends, and anyone who feels pain at the loss.

He was just all pace and nothing else. He seriously has no other abilities at all. Can't pass, can't shoot, can't cross. One of the more useless players I've seen.

Are you comparing Newcastle United to a television channel? I'm saying, in what other profession are employees expected to stay with a failing enterprise in order to support a bunch of "fans"? It's rubbish.

I think it's ridiculous that any of our good players are criticised for leaving. It;'s just emotional rubbish that gets in the way of common sense. I'll tell you this, is I were a semi decent professional footballer at Newcastle United right now, I'd be trying to get the flying f*** out of here. I wonder if the employees of Setanta stay to support fans of thier company as well.

He's scored about 20 Premiership goals since 2004-2005. I am not impressed.

That's just nonsense. Do you remeber what he did after signing with Everton in 2004? In front of a much better team he had a strike rate that would have made Shola question himself. He had a decent spell last year with one of the other rubbish teams in the PL last year I know, but honestly I do not regret the club not wasting money on Beattie.

Why our the Championship numbers so ugly. I think it would be a nice kit to have with the regular numbers.

Viduka and Papillo on the same pitch would be some sight to see.

You think it's a strange one that a player jumped at the chance to leave a relegated English team to play for the German champions? Really?

I think Smith will be alright this season. Quite Frankly, he was our second best centre midfielder last season. I thought he improved the team.

Anyone...anyone...anyone...other than Liverpool or Man U. To hell with those two

Rather we just go for a relatively established managerthan the unproven Shearer or the "I've already quit this job twice" Keegan. No more of this messiah nonsense and the media rubbish that comes with it.

There two of our best players. So probaly not... It's inevitable and necessary given our situation though

9 million players for a non English player out of the Championship is amazing.

Dinamo Moscow are at least as good as Celtic. Russian league is far superior to Scotland.

Gomis was incredibly bad last season. Amazed he went for 11 million.

Point taken, but Morientes?!! 20 apps. and one goal in La Liga last season. Would have been happier with any random Ligue 1 striker.

The only problem for Eto'o is that he won't get half as many chances as he did for Barcelona playing for this slow Inter team. A lot of Zlatan's goals were created totally by himself or by him doing something out of the ordinary, and while Eto'o can make things happen for himself, there's no way he can do it as good as Zlatan. I wasn't fishing. Honest. I'll be interested to see how Mourinho uses Eto'o. He never had a striker like him at Chelsea or Inter or even Porto. Will Milito be their new target man, or will Mourinho change his system? It's a bit ridiculous calling Inter "slow" as well. Some great athletes there. It's az different style of play to Barcelona and Inter's team, man for man, is maybe faster than Barcelona.
