I love rumours like this that I really want to believe Imagine Habib pulling the strings & whispering in Keegans ear. Ace. If Smiths' going he'll not be involved tonight, basically. That's my figuring.

On the subject of the talk-ins with Beardsly, did he happen to say in the recent ones who Keegan actually rated in the current squad?

This is whats been said for the lazy. Ace. This has made my... hour.

The guys source is called "Micksta" and appears to have a mate who works for Newcastle or has some involvement. He posts on the F365 forums, seems to have got quite a few things right etc. Heres a link with the info that this is going off: http://forum.football365.com/index.php?t=msg&th=103692&prevloaded=1&&start=1880

You a mackem or a geordie? whatm do you think? also Colo is here aswell fella on F365 said going by past info hes passed on hes pretty clued up he probably comes on here. Like what?

I think Fulham have wasted money. Coleman must feel like a massive injustice has been done, since he was given fuck all to spend for years and did a great job but then Sanchez & Hodgson get fairly decent slices to be mostly wasted.

Sure thing. Fancy letting us know anything with substance?

I reckon that Guthrie will start lively, get the odd goal for us and have quite a few quiet games. For the price paid I think he'll turn out to be a good buy.

BUT Best ITK ever.

Are we sure we're even in for him?

Losing Smith would be like a new signing in itself.

They've said before (like with Guthrie) that we have an agreement to sign [player] for an initial [money] subject to a medical. If the medical is all thats left, then there's nothing stopping them doing this and just getting the whole thing out the way. There's no doubt in my mind that he'll be playing in the black & white this season, so meh.

I get paid £20 a match to referee. Fucking con.

Dick.

Basically, selling Smith would relieve the wage budget if we're led to believe the figures, and it would force us to buy another forward. A player like Heskey would provide much, much more than Smith.. and I don't rate Heskey at all.

I reckon he'll get a run of games to be honest. He's been riding on the "recovering from injury, no preseason" ticket for a few seasons now. Keegan will give him a chance to show he's still got something and THEN dump him from a first team spot. I'd love to be proved wrong.. but it's Duff, aint it.

Our first press conference is going to be mad, we haven't had one for any of the players yet so surely they'll do them all at once? Ace.

So how do people feel about Guthrie now? 2 goals in 4 games (friendlies admitedly), and decent to good performances with tidy passing in every match I've seen him play in.. liked his finish against PSV too. Must admit that I doubt he'll be a Rob Lee world beater, but as of now I'd be happy to see him in our squad until proved otherwise. Nice little signing. Gutierrez has been everything I've expected from what I saw of him in La Liga, although I didn't expect him to be so strong. Looking forward to see him in a competitive match, if this is how much he puts into friendlies.

Out of interest who did your dad sponser last season? Serious question btw.

I can see us getting in another striker and offloading Smith, but its things like his wages & personal terms with Everton that bother me slightly. Aren't they skint?

I love the way people ignore things like this and spend more time scouring the internet for Bob Marley pictures for the thread.

CHANGE THE FUCKING TITLE NOW! Sick of it.

Yup. He's signed.

So Duff played good then? Curious..

Gomis signed a new contract with his club the other month.. I doubt it was him. It'd be nice though, cya Smith.
