I'd rather have Turan. More heart and would come here for the right reasons.

Not a footballing one but timely with the Olympics: http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i285/cubaricho/dymp.jpg Dan Yemin is the lead singer of Lifetime/Paint it Black for those not in the know.

You think Coloccini has the inside track on Tevez? I fucking hope so.

Agreed - I think Enrique just needs some more time.

yes he is. Seconded. I have to agree - Berbatov oozes class. The one move that comes to mind is when he was outside of the box with his back to goal and a defender stuck to him. He popped the ball up and half volleyed it into the box right at Keane was running through to finish it off. His creativity up front and first touch are second to none.

Always thought Faye was miles better than Taylor, will be sad to see him go. Would've loved to see Coloccini/Faye at CB, strong arming the hell out of the likes of Rooney.

Obviously a load of shit but oh man what a day that would be.

I have a funny feeling that the whole thing is wrapped up but they are waiting for the right time to announce it. I think he'll play in the Man U match and be announced <24hrs before the match is played.

If he were currently "fit" would he be allowed to play for us or does he have to wait 'til the personal hearing?

Saw the video of Kev having quite the rip! Must be like riding a bike.

Pretty fucking classy if you ask me.

That's a joke right?

Guthrie isn't on the midfielder list yet and like matty pointed out neither is Jonas.

Also, Rooney isn't injured, he's just sick so I'd really expect him to play.

Do you even read the other threads? Ashley has stated multiple times that the cash is there but they aren't going to go spending it on everything that moves - only players that want to be here and have the "newcastle heart"

I think that's pretty obvious as I really don't think he would've been at the match and Ashley having a shirt with Coloccini on it if it wasn't a done deal.

Heard a rumor that we're going to unveil three signings at once this week. The names being branded around were Coloccini, Derdiyok, and one "big" surprise. Anyone else hear these rumors? Any mileage?

Had to say I really enjoyed when Edgar scored against Man U - you could really tell how much it mattered to him, it was one of the purest forms of joy I had ever seen from scoring a goal. I also love when Marlon King scores and he does the bow & arrow.

Agreed. If they didn't have the back line that they do they would've gotten run over today (more so than they did).

I'll be glad to have it over come Sunday evening - won't have to worry about going to OT the rest of the season. That being said, I could see/would love to see us getting a draw.

For the first time in his Newcastle career he has a fight on his hands to get into the team. Don't underestimate what a fresh challenge can mean to a player whose game has been effected mostly by succumbing to the mediocrity around him. I.e. Shearer post Sir Bobby. I predict a similar turn around in form for Given. There is no fight, unfortunately he'll walk right back into the first team. Everyone knows he's a big cry baby when it comes to sitting on the bench and KK will succumb like every manager before him. I would feel totally confident with Harper in goal and feel like it should be his shirt to lose but we know Given won't stand for that.

I've been laughing for like five straight minutes after reading that.

Definitely the signing of the season.
