Yes, you were, just thought it was a bit misleading. Felt like winding you up a bit Not the best attempt I admit.

You never know with you, Ronaldo. You always talk with a bit of superiority attitude, which is a good style on a football chat board.

Best 3rd striker in over 10 years, tbh. Not sure if you mean 3rd best striker in the last 10 years, if so your wrong. If your talking about best 3rd striker, then I wont even bother to check if I agree.

It's not a big change. Pardew never had final say on transfers, that was Lambias job. Carr still ahead of scouting, but instead of pushing players to Lambias he is pushing them to Kinnear.

Surely not! Not really, but it will make you feel better when you hear the fee of 15m...... Don't really care what the fee is, it doesn't matter the slightest for us fans. Don't think it will change any transfer plans for the summer.

Heard the fee was close to 8m pounds.

Has San Lorenzo ever bid for Coloccini? My understanding is that they have wanted him for free, I don't count that is bidding.

How can West Ham afford that if Newcastle can't, unbelievable. #FFP I personally would love him back if it wasn't for his injuries. According to that article his now injured for 6 weeks and he only played 25 games this year. Of course it's not a sure thing he will be mr.sicknote, but it is an indicator which I don't like. I'm 50/50 on this although I voted "Yes".

Clever...

You all have such a lack off cultural understanding. THIS IS HOW THEY HUG IN SOUTH AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!! Stop picking on him you racists!!

penalty villa, benteke scores.

Nolan showing his limitations while Zog is showing his occasional flashes of a footballer.

It really is a boring game, Villa are nervous and west ham are shit.

Shoooollllllaaaaaaaaaaaaa

It was a brilliant pass to Santon for the first goal. He is such a class player and brings quality to the team. On top of that, I believe that he and Ben Arfa have a lot of influence in the quality players arriving to the club.

:mike:

Apparently he has a serious personal issue which is putting him in a tough spot, don't mind that at all and it is non of my business. What I don't get is, why write a letter to the fans of San Lorenzo, to apologize for not joining them now? What the fuck has that to do with his personal issues. He is the captain of Newcastle United and should not be pleading to fans of another team. Don't get me started on San Lorenzo, and their "pursuit" of Colo. They basically wanted one of the best defenders in the world for free and called that negotiations. Don't think he will let his head drop in the games to come, but he wont play with his heart.

Regarding the English market, it really shows that when Tomkins is being quoted for 8-10m pounds, that it is a market not worth looking at. He played against Arsenal last night and I would not see him as an improvement over Williamson. Meanwhile we buy a french international CB, voted in the team of the year in france by lequipe, for less then 7m pounds. It is basically ridiculous that anyone shops English. I really see it as a catch 22 situation. The supply of English talent is so limited that the prices are higher. The fewer English players playing for the top teams will not help to bolster the ranks of the English talent. It is possible that the prices will rise more instead of declining.

The commute from France to England must be shit like. Takes ages for players to travel, getting lost on the way. I bet I could bike faster than to use the normal French footballer commute.

Is this a real or fake???:

He's still adapting, thought he was kind of invisible yesterday.

Sounds like we are going after a player that doesn't want to leave at all. Our first 2 striker targets both look like staying, hopefully we have other targets.

We look like a team severly lacking energy. Our midfield is loosing the battle like in past games, exposing our defence and starving our attack. We badly need fresh legs to give us a boost and rest to tired players.

Debuchy sitting besides Cabaye #predictable

This is exactly how i see it!
