What the fuck is this shit?

Robbie Keane to the Galaxy for 2 years, $8m.

Robbie Keane to LA Galaxy?

Think it will be: Krul Simpson Taylor Colo Taylor Barton Tiote Cabaye Jonas Ba Shola Obertan in for Barton if he's not allowed to play.

Bit strong. Defence looks reasonably solid to me. The problem though that they have IMO and have had for a good couple of years is a completely inbalanced side, still no natural left back or left winger. Brown will spend half the season injured though. Putting Bramble in there is just asking for trouble. The midfield looks incredibly average. Really looking forward to the derby after seeing that team.

Would love to know who the first choice striker target is.

Smith, Xisco, Colo.... cant really think of anyone else? Barton maybe? Colo's and Xisco's contracts run until 2013. Smith, Lovenkrands, Guthrie, and Barton all up in June. Improvements on those first three (which shouldn't be hard) would see us in very good shape. Of course we'll probably sell Tiote and Colo and be back to square one. .com also lists the following youngsters as being in the last year of their contracts: Sammy, Tavernier, Lua Lua, Donaldson (tbc), Soderberg, Kadar, Airey, Richardson, Newton, Inman, Adjei, and Zamblera. Lots of decisions to be made in the next year.

Am I missing something here? Outside of Sessegnon and Gyan that team looks like complete and utter shit.

Will be really pissed if Harper starts. Krul has to be #1.

Ryan Taylor at left back is the stuff of nightmares better than the thought of Perch there....... There's not much in it tbh Jeez, wish we had you guys up first. Lennon vs Ryan Taylor would be a sight to behold. I'd rather not think about the thought of that Walcott or Gervinho isn't much better to think about.

You can join up to 15 No Ivanovic? Thigh injury. Pretty sure he's out.

Grant Wahl just tweeted this: This could get interesting. Edit: Followed it with this:

I'm sure everyone on this board has a lot of pity for Arsenal's trophy "drought." Twitter's servers would crash if people started listing things that have happened since Newcastle last won something.

I think it's pretty clear Barton wants to play and Pardew wants to play him. Just a question of whether or not he's allowed as pathetic as that sounds.

Yeah, that certainly doesn't mean he's playing. I think he will though.

He will score against you tomorrow. Very likely. Luckily it's probably just as likely he fails his fitness test. Fingers crossed.

Was hoping there would be some details on what the deal was.

Given, Ruddy Kompany, Bosingwa, Enrique, Smalling, Taylor N'Zogbia, Downing, Dempsey, Jarvis, Sessegnon Rooney, Gervinho, Ba Undecided if it's pretty decent or completely shit. Want Foster over Given, but don't like their start to the season.

Maybe I'm being blind by not seeing this, but has anyone posted this or the Chronicle article? Don't see it on the Chronicle site.

Luiz is out. Think it will be Terry, Alex, Cole, and Bosingwa.

:lol:

He's cycled off the juice in time for the season.
