Seemed more of a whirlwind deal compared to the others. Pitch black everywhere, all lights at training ground off, hardly anyone there etc Hope he gets a tour of a stadium etc later but i guess it doesn't matter as he was desperate to join!

After all this i think the our fans are owed a letter also. All he would need to say was that he was sorry for any confusion and that he is committed to the team and to helping us stay up etc. Apart from people on here and twitter etc (creating rumours) i think the newcastle fans have been extremely patient with the whole thing despite knowing very little.

Cisse should definitely find it easier to score now i hope

Aubameyang would take the cake if we got him but i think it's one of those where his club are desperate to keep him, he's happy at his club and he isn't out of contract soon so as much as i'd love it i think it's highly doubtful and would be the most surprising out of all the deals.

There's always one.

With you on that. Shepherd made the exact same mistake that summer where we spent nothing and then went out of the champions league against partizan. Willing to forgive Ashley for this past summer if we stay up and he doesn't make the same mistake again in the future.

Thauvin and Aubameyang in the summer would be excellent but maybe more competition from other clubs by then.

Surprised to find out he's only 6 foot 1. Looks a real physical presence from the clips I've seen.

Still need another cf and/or lw but hopefully make do without till summer

Feel like after the first deal he just got the buzz for it and said "fuck it dekka go and get everyone on the Pardster's list"

Out of everyone, Wenger will no that the guys we have signed are quality players.

Need to put some kind of run together before I can relax a bit

Colo and Mapou are on the wrong sides, but such a good line up. This is mental. Last week Krul Debuchy Williamson Coloccini Santon Cabaye Anita Marveaux Ameobi Cisse Jonas What a difference a week makes uh? That team would have won. It was when the midfield became Bigi. Perch. Jonas.

A blog by who Caulkin? and only free to read for 1 hour? eh?

You spent ok last january and in the summer i thought Neil?

As long as we stay up then i have to say but only once we're safe. He's doing his part now (finally) so it's over to Pardew to sort himself and get this team winning.

Looking at that. Sissoko is actually a really important signing not just for his ability but also if he wasn't there then we would have a team of midgets!

Definitely need a french themed away kit next season

BOOOM!

Good interview by him on nutv. Saying all the right things

II believed David Craig when he said his advisors may have told him not to turn up to force a move but the club were confident colo would do the right thing. It seems he has.

Ssn colo arrives as usual for training

Wish the Independent would fuck off with dropping these Colo news bombs late at night just as im about to go.

Hope emotions are just a bit high at the moment and everything will calm down
