Him and Dyer had great potential, just never worked out for either of them due to differing circumstances. Jenas just couldn't handle any kind of pressure.

What f***ing pressure? None of our players have any pressure to perform... ... wait... sarcasm. Never mind. I'm so edgy to just snap at someone after hearing this news Just console yourself until you see the King sitting next to Ginge at the press conference, waxing lyrical about how he's watched JC (as he'll call him) over the years.......marvellous stuff. I want to cry. I can't wait for the nickname and soundbites about him, though, from the King. My life has suddenly felt lighter every weekend as I haven't read any of his post-match comments since the season ended. I truly hope he's a pundit for the World Cup so I can resume being angry all the f***ing time. Every time i see the King typed, i rage inside not just me then.

I repeat, we need numbers to bolster the squad depth, players who can do a job in a variety of positions. I want to see some good big name signings as well, but we need a lot of cover as the reserves we have are poor. You truly believe this is a Pards squad signing and not a first team signing?

I just can't believe the tide looks like it hasn't turned with a lot of our fans, sticking up for this signing and willing to give it all another chance next season. If this is the caliber of signing we have zero chance and it'll be another embarrassing season. Race to 40 points and then throw it away, if we can get to 40 that is! Completely fucked off with it all now. We live to exist.

Aye but can he be careful?

I see the Pardewed fans out in force on the Chron "why sign an average player no better than Gosling?" Pardewed fan: "who do you expect us to sign? Messi?? Ronaldo??" So now, not wanting average players that don't improve a team means we want the worlds best players and probably "do a Leeds" ffs

I love our front footed be careful's

This is my target... http://i.imgur.com/96r6qcO.png Why haven't you pulled the trigger yet Bimps?!? One job Bimpy.... One fucking job!

What's the odds he'll be gone by 2015? If we're really relegation threatened will he be gone this time or bought another lifeline? I need something to cling on to if I'm to stick with this emotional turmoil of a "football club".

I can imagine the club haggling with Ryanair over the cost of the flight "So that'll be economy class, hand luggage only, no in-flight meal and no headphones for the film sir? Oh one way only too?"

Can he float a corner/set penis to a tall centre back? And can he cover a full back? How far can he hoof?

Now there's a long pass from the back, a hoof, a panic cleared hoof and a Pardew tactical hoof, where does the aforementioned hoof come into that list?

We're gonna monitor the shit out of some players this summer!

This season is the first time the interest has completely drained away from me as last season I still went to a good few home matches. There's just nothing about the club which makes me even contemplate walking back to St James, atrocious attitude at board level and crap football on the pitch = utterly joyless experience. I'll get the razorblades out, haha I can't even be fucked to check NUFC related stories anymore, now he's definitely staying there's nothing to hope for. Next season is going to be an abortion, humiliating at this rate and it will be bitter sweet to behold. If it helps to get these jokers out though I'll watch from afar. First time I've been on here in days. I'm looking forward to the World Cup, then after that I'll not be watching much football until these soul sucking parasites go toes up.

We all know how Ashley likes a piss take during international break, what will a World Cup bring?!

Being blooded into the team at the right time and played in the right position would be start. Other than that, willing to give him a chance, looks like he has some promise. Does seem odd that with how desperate we are for first team reinforcements we are "splashing out" just shy of £2m on a youth player though?

Seconded

If you're one of the people that thinks it doesn't matter who we sign, we could sign Messi, and Pardew would still make him s***, then what do you possibly have to add to the conversation? Every single signing you're going to chime in and say the same s****. It's boring. If you want to give us a few reasons why this lad has a bright future here we'd be all ears. Otherwise you're just moaning about people moaning and it's very Inochi. I know nothing about the lad. I keep hoping to learn something every time I see the thread bumped, but as usual this thread has been hijacked by the realists.

What's the problem, Pardew is shit and we're lumbered with him and rightly so were all majorly fucked off. Given this scenario and repetitive history it's hard to get excited by anything atm. It feels like whoever we sign, no matter ability or potential, they will be played out of position in a system that stifles their ability. Historically the players have digressed and given up, Pardewed, so excuse me if I can't get excited for any signing because I'm not fucking stupid, I expect the exact same thing to happen again and again under this twat!

I think Pardew got off too lightly there

Sorry Yorkie, it was just a joke like, is this cuz of that Fleetwood thing?

I'm excited to see our new style of Pardew and his English hoofball plodders, it's going to be fucking awesome

sorry couldn't resist, I think you've had enough for one day *nervous laugh*

I heard you did it.

Man that's horrific
