What do you think will happen if they don't agree a fee? Will Given start games for us, be put on the bench or emitted from the squad altogether?

I'm hearing that Shefqi Kuqi is being lined up for a move to Hull

No.

That works too.

I hope we slate the little bastard enough to give him bloody insomnia.

Can someone please add this to the smiley list, under the name "Cheating, fat, twitchy Wii-playing twat" http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/4421/twitchergy6.gif

Even though I've never really seen him play well enough to suggest he'd cut in in this league, for £800,000 we can't go wrong really. Remind me, but we paid similar amounts for Tozer and Kadar, didn't we?

It's never dull here, is it? Donadel please.

He can play right back, left back, left wing and right wing. Versatile.

Aye, it wasn't long ago we were debating whether or not we had the best selection of strikers in the Premiership. Since then we've added to them. We need to build a team that can actually supply them. This.

Sky Sports site: It is understood that Newcastle hope to push through a deal so that Taylor is available to make his debut in Sunday's clash with Sunderland.

I was waiting for the helium to wear off.

Whoever the fuck you are, well done.

fixed.

For all the slating Kinnear has had, these two deals he's done (provided the Taylor/Zog one goes ahead ofc) are looking like very good business to me. Who knows, maybe even the Lovenkrands one will be?

£6m and Ryan Taylor? We're laughing.

Great deal if true.

No. But there have been very strong links for Ryan Taylor and SSN says he's in for a medical on Monday.

Hopefully we sort personal terms over the weekend and have the contract ready for him to sign early on Monday. I don't think my heart could take it if we went past about 1'o clock without signing him.

Burdisso.

I think the atmosphere will lift our players after another shit week in the life of NUFC. I certainly hope so.

Love the confidence, love it.

Hope it comes through alright ON. You were a colossus before your injury in the last game.
