Really likes to get forward. Him and Colo at the base of your team would be out of this world.
Colo and Vertonghen at DM when Cabaye and Tiote are sold this summer.

Nicollin confirmed Giroud's release clause is €10m. If Ashley and Dekka had any sense they'd bid on New Year's day.
Giroud wants to make the Euro 2012, I don't think he'll take the risk to quit Montpellier - this window - where he's playing week in, week out and doing the best season of his career.
Agree, unfortunately. Isn't he from Languedoc-Roussillon, as well?
I don't know. Before Montpellier, he played for Tours in Division 2.
EDIT : he's from Chambéry, in Rhone-Alpes (wikipedia)
Which is what, around 200 miles (350 km) away..?
Could be wrong, but I believe there are direct flights from Newcastle to Chambery.
Newcastle is very well deserved in that case
(Chambery as well, I didn't know there was an airport there)There is indeed, I skied there about a few years ago. Beautiful place.

Best defender in Holland, imo.
Is there any football you don't watch?
I've only ever really followed English and French football. Starting watching Dutch football (occasionally) when we signed Tiote - and it became apparent that our scouting network is active there...
-
Aye, obviously all this chat has to be with the caveat that we don't really know how he's doing behind the scenes and how his comeback is being managed.
To choose :
- Pardew wants to protect him and introduce him gradually
- Pardew is more severe with him for his sake (the Mourinho method with Benzema)
- Pardew has his gameplan in which Hatem isn't suitable
- Pardew is punishing Hatem's bad attitude and non-professionalism
Like Santon said, Pardew and Mourinho are similar...
-
Not convinced they'd bid before the window opens.

Just out of interest - where would 882 points sit in the N-O league?
Missed this thread until the season was underway!!

Scarves for Ben Arfa's career.

Like the stadium sponsor they found in 2009...

Great news.

To calm down the atmosphere, Hatem's lookalike http://www.le10sport.com/search?query=Hatem+Ben+arfa
Blatently Mimi.

Hello
it would seem that there is already a problem with Ben Arfa.
the coach does not seem to trust him, and looks over Ben Arfa.
the world of football is truly a world of hypocrisy.
he played Ben Arfa only against the three best teams and off for Manchester, he made two good but not great game, but against chelsea he replaces the half-time and since no longer does not play as Ben Arfa not mark.
if they want Ben Arfa brand, it is still necessary to let him play and not make a recovery. why did he say anything to Obertan, Best, or others who are not in shape but play all the time. If I remember correctly Ben Arfa was one of the best against the Manchesters, yet it gives the brothers Ameobi who contribute nothing for now.
to believe that he knew that at Newcastle would be in trouble, and had to find the problem in the person of Ben Arfa as happens by chance at the moment the hardest
Pardew should stop looking for false problems and fulfill its error
Good post. Completely agree. A major flaw in the argument that Ben Arfa has looked 'poor' is the fact said 'poor' performances were against two of the best teams in the league (he looked dangerous against City).

Chronicle headline: Davide Santon likens Alan Pardew to Mourinho
Santon told the Chronicle: “Alan Pardew and Jose Mourinho are totally different."
-
would drop Jonas on Wed, he looked seriously shattered at the weekend, didn't do half as much running as usual
And replace him with who? Lovenkrands?
Ben Arfa.
-
HBA should start instead of Best in support of Ba, or instead of Obertan. As simple as that really.

I don't know how the supposed '300% profit' rule affects 'free' transfers. What I do know is that when the club sign new players, they are signed with a targeted ROI of 300% (in terms of what they are signed for). I don't know if this includes wages, signing on fees etc.
-
Becoming a parody now Colocho. His agent was the first person to mention a failed medical not us. In fact, I don't even remember the club mention his name at all the past week.
Bloody hell, I was being facetious.
-
I understand that Colocho grasps the concept of local media and their relationship with the football clubs they report on. What I don't quite understand is how that relates to him (supposedly) knowing the % with which we look to reach when selling players.
I don't want to say where I got this information from, but it's from someone I trust.
This 300% ROI target hasn't worked very well has it? Apart from Carroll I'm not sure I can think of any player we've sold that has even come close to hitting that sort of return. In fact with our most recent departure, we let a player who cost £5 million go for nothing.
It is a targeted ROI on any player that we sign, as of summer 2011.
The 'direct line' between Oliver and Shepherd (that Ryder told me personally about) now exists between the communications (PR) team at the club and Douglas/Ryder. Ryder's own views are limited to his blog and webchats. NCJ cannot afford to bite the hand that feeds - and instead works as a sounding board for the club's agenda. As you may have already guessed, every press statement (including Llambias') from the club is written by Wendy Taylor and co. approved at boardroom level, and distributed to the press.
I've questioned Ryder's journalism on the phone to him and via Twitter. I did manage to get some interesting information (such as what I've already mentioned), but unfortunately he stopped taking my phone calls and blocked me on Twitter. The 'direct line' was from his mouth, he wasn't too pleased when I suggested that it still existed...
I personally think you're f***ing micey.
Thanks.

Edit: found this article stating a 10 million euro release clause and an interest in Maiga from... Sunderlol.
Would hate it.What do you think of Maiga?
Probably his biggest fan from looking around in Norwegian and English forums. Think he would fit in really well in a 4-4-2 with Demba on top. Will bring speed, directness , physical presence and top class aerial ability. As an English scout on Twitter said "Made for Premier League". Gutted we missed/let the boat go.
Never been a big watcher of Sochaux, but share the same sentiments. In an ideal world we'd have Maiga at the club instead of Shola and Lovenkrands...

I get that a direct line would exist between the club's PR and the press, that's what PR people are for after all. But I don't understand why NCJ would be so scared of upsetting the club. What do they get from the club anyway, that they couldn't find out/make up anyway?
'Exclusives', in the form of 'access' to playing and coaching staff. As shite as most of it is (most player 'interviews' also come from Comms team), it sells. People will always want to read this kind of stuff, what the players and managers are thinking after/in the run up to games. It's as good as a monopoly for NCJ in the region. Journal, Chronicle, Sunday Sun all NCJ...
The papers can't print quotes without club sign off - so cut out the middle man (i.e. the player). Remember when Santon signed and said "I never saw a Mackem in Milan!" Christ, it's all so contrived - how don't people see through it?
Very little of what NCJ reports is 'journalism', however you define journalism these days... and most of the information that they report (print would be more fitting) on a daily basis, if not all is spoon-fed to them by the in-house PR team at the club.
You really should tell the local press about these objectives, if you haven't already. Sure they would love to expose them, and fans would love to know about them.

I've been advised by a national tabloid sports journalist that they couldn't report such a story without some form of recording.
Hardly the scandal of the century now, is it? Every sports desk at a local rag is utterly beholden to the Premier League club(s) that they report on.
Only reason I'm talking about the maligned local press is because they would never report a 'scandal' in a full-blooded manner.
What I find scandalous is the club having a targeted ROI on players.

If I racially abused a footballer in a footballer, and was caught by stewards/police - what kind of punishment would I receive?
