Vuckevic is HUGELY highly rated in FM (I know, I know)

Ah, you can see how I got confused though. Was a strange way of saying it. Sorry Ameritoon

? I'd hardly say Nasri and Benzema are shocking. They are great footballers.

France team looks fairly strong tbh, even without those guys. Get Ribery, Anelka, Malouda, Ben Arfa and Henry firing on all cylinders and they are a strong force going forward.

Legend

What about Gamberini and Marchionni? Isn't Giovinco worth taking too since he's fast as fuck? Kinda Walcottish? Is Cassano still 'retired' from international football? And is Totti too old (like Del Piero)? Whats the craic with Quagliarella aswell? Heard he has a great shot on him. So many questions, sorry, not up to date with Italian players!

Some absolute monstrous talent in that team (Robben, Van Persie, Sneijder, van der Vaart) but they aren't very strong throughout the team, especially at the back. Will be interesting to see how they do.

Van der Vaart mkII imo.

Yeah what's wrong with Pato? Wasn't he the best thing since sliced Ronaldinho? All I remember is commentators going 'PATOPATOPATOPATOPATOPATOPATOPATO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

Darren Bent is quality. One guy I wouldn't hold a grudge against if he signed for us from the Mackems

No Diego??? Brazil have always had weak centre-mids which is why I usually suggest a DM (Silva/Josue) and an AM (Diego). That's probably the weakest squad they have had in a while.

He's been alright, but not even nearly the best in our squad.

Scott Parker is in the squaaadddd EDIT: Everyone already knows, never mind.

Felixstowe

worth a punt who knows he and arsene may prefer us to get him Arsene has always had good things to say about us, as has Mourinho for some reason. Should be able to get one of their players. Vela, Merida or someone like that. He has a massive weak spot for us through his days under Sir Bobby. Ah of course, cheers

I know, I'm being an old romantic If he's happy going back straight away then fine. Get Krul starting most pre-season battles.

and what would be the point in that? Surely you play Krul & Harper. Dunno, just to give him a chance to pull on a Newcastle jersey. At least give him 1 game to show that we still care about him... Harper has played enough, he only needs a few games.

That settles it then. Get him to play a few of our pre-season matches and send him back Another year won't hurt, unless he will be our first choice next season (unlikely I'd imagine).

If he gets sold we should take to the streets

Good luck with that. You can quote me in saying that it won't happen. Not even nearly. *happens*

Having only ever seen match reports you would assume that Baheng was a really good player, no-one seems to rate him at all though... Well done this group of lads who were promoted to the senior squad

Villa is probably the most complete striker in the world. I know folk will disagree, but he has pace, power, intelligent movement, excellent finishing, a FEARSOME shot and he's got a decent header on him aswell. Get rid of Ibra, you won't need him if you have Villa...

Maybe Avram doesn't want to battle relegation again next year. He should be managing teams in european competition tbh. West Ham have a good base to build upon (Parker, Cole, Diamanti, Upson etc etc) but I doubt the pair will put much money in.
