arnonel

Im not saying its right Im not saying its working My opinion is that its the aspiration of the owners to replicate a long term strategy. In the short term selling our "best" players to balance books.

Would it help you if i said - "aspire" to replicate arsenal/ajax model? You get the drift - we want to grow through youth/long term

I think we can do it going the Arsenal model - Its just not going to be overnight - its going to be 5+ seasons of hoping for top 10s until we unearth some young gems and give them a chance to breakthrough

we have every chance against that team

that assist against wolfburg in the champs league is great this guy has it - its going to be a hot and cold season for him - give him time - think he could turn a match - really think this is a great signing

Worth pointing out that that are now people pointing out "that there's now more people moaning about people moaning than there is people moaning."

Should have bid 20mill for him instead of 3mill

he could be a taarbat he could be a bellion im honestly think the former

Nail -------- Head

Mark my words in forum folklore - Obertan is going to be a great signing - Put it in your footer - put it up in lights - I know this !

Join the dots: 1) We pull out from barnetta because he is 3 weeks injured.........hmmmm 2) AP was this week talking to Fergie about Twitter ala Barton row......hmmmmm Its happening

Out for 3 weeks? Thats not going to scupper any transfer. Thats what medicals are for. I think this is a game. Not sure how tho:P

agree - some just cant wait to jump on the bandwagon

Once this goes through we will have the best "traditional" wingers we have had in a very long time.... Fox/Gillespie?

Edwards too, wouldn't surprise me since all agents are attention seeking pricks If its not his agent, how does he know about the offer?

I think Obertan is a very good player - just needs a run of games i think. Shows flashes of brilliance coupled with long periods in the game of dross. Just really think he needs to be playing more. I would take him in a heartbeat

I think that a) The offer is fair and a good starting position b) I assume we have agreed a fee for the player which is positive c) The agent is a mong for coming out in the press with his comments- Barnetta is not far off those wages, and a negotiation is exactlly that - you start - you negotiate - you come to an agreement. For the agent to talk down on Newcastle like that doesnt win him any friends either

doesnt come in the top 10 000 players to grace the shirt tbh

quick - add enrique - he is cheap and should start for liverpool and increase price

I wonder what the Manchester city dressing room is like with Ballo/Tevez etc hating the city - blah blah blah

apologies, an idiotic post is what i should have said, i'm sure you're lovely. i fail to see what point you've proved other than that different people have different views? my point is that - im my opinion - that we live in extreme highs and extreme lows - nothing in between. I think a solid season of 8th-14th would be a good season. Next year the same. All the while we are looking for more Cabaye/Tiote/Gosling type deals. All the while improving our squad. Thats a solid plan. Realistic, and sets us up for a good push 2-3 seasons from now.

First off - Dont call me an idiot - else it makes sense we meet up for a chat so you can share you views in person. Secondly - Its my opinion. Yes, im generalising, but its an exageration to prove the point

p.s. Everton have signed 1 player on loan and lost 3 - 4 players I think this forum would implode if that happened

Newcastle supporters are bi-polar: Win against Kansas - We are on the up challenging for Europe Lose to Leeds - We are in a relegation Battle Sign Gosling - Bad Move He does well - Great Move Sign 4 players in quick succession - challenging for Europe Dont sign anyone in a while - we are in a relegation battle Generally win a game - Pardew great manager Lose a game - Pardew out This board is getting a bit much now - it only seems to live in the total extremes - nowhere inbetween. The year we got relegated with our supposed stars - who would have taken a mid table finish then with a club in pretty good shape? Expectations are already that we need to push for Europe? Holy crap that is deluded.

This guy is going to be a cracker of a player
