Some int players, others who'll have their chance soon." "I took that into account before making my decision." "I think it will be fine with so many French players.

Just the French press reporting this at the moment like...I'll wait 'til I see the pictures.

Indeed.

I think we might see a few loaned out.

Well, I'm tending to believe Toulouses own statement and our own 'we don't comment on speclaton' line. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Yooouuu facckin norvern kaaants want sam faackin playas? Here's your faaking playas. Now faak off.

MYM, but only if Colo stays. Then I'll be back to when we see Willo back in the starting lineup due to a self-induced STaylor injury.

Basically Deschamps can't be fucking chewed to fly up here to watch his players. Reminds me of Capellos sheer ignorance to the North East.

No, but he did retweet this earlier: El Mousaoui Ahmed ‏@AhmedElmousaoui @MassadioHaidara mon gars félicitations pour Newcastle ! T un grand maintenant inchallah tu vas tout arracher !!!!

My thoughts exactly. Let's just wait and see.

So does 15-17m for Zaha imo.

If BeIn sport, RMC and Le10sport are reporting it, its pretty much nailed on by the looks of it.

What in fucking gods name has happened this week?

Press conference today to tell us whats what?

When the English market has massively inflated prices for average players (Henderson and Downing for example) it's no wonder clubs look abroad. As I said in the other thread it reeks of a little scaremongering from areas of the press/former pro's who are inclined to be slightly anti-Newcastle. Whilst I agree we should be nurturing more local talent, the fact is that our youth and scouting setup has only really been properly established in recent years, we have to wait to see the benefits.

Hasn't Pardew already enforced the 'Speak English' rule around training/match days? As someone who has worked with large groups of French and German people, and have people I class as French mates because of such, I never felt any awkwardness when they conversed with each other in their own language. Just seems a little bit of a non-issue to me?

:lol: Why do the England lot not seem fun like that? Cos they're arseholes?

If anyone has any stuff about the bloke, can you have a look at this? http://www.shiteseats.co.uk/post/41270933201/worstevie The lad who is writing the book asked us to ask around.

Not sure why its busy for Pardew, its well known he has sod all to do with that side of it. He wasnt even on Tyneside as Mbiwa signed(at Villa match) He'll be sat on his arse with a cuppa, figuring out how to fit all of these class players into a rigid 4-4-2 formation Didn't Mbiwa sign on Monday judging by the photos?

It's his home district apparently...thats why he chose it.

That quote was from a few days back...haven't seen any other information about us coming to an agreement to have him now?
