Don't understand the "prepared for the worst" comment to be honest - you'll be getting a lot more than he's worth and by the start of next season will most likely be a much stronger squad for having re-invested the money. You've been doing more than fine without him for some time now - I really do fail to see how his half a good season have made him Wayne Rooney overnight? yeah your right his half good season is only just enough for you to dedicate your day to mooching around this thread tho. As well as the SMB, VillaTalk and the Oatcake. It's a slow day in the office. nee worries often have smb as one of my tabs for the

how much would Alan Shearers 17 million be these days- world record, taking market inflation into account. 100 mil+ he was quoted as being worth every penny cos he stayed a long time and produced the goods. So if you can get a full career out of Carol this has to be the measure of his worth. hes worth. prize money for points. tv money. advertising money. added value if Ashley sells up.

The same people who've been scoring goals for us for the past four and a half months, seeing as Bent scored twice for us during that period. I'd imagine the two new lads will chip in with a couple each over the course of the season as well ahead of a Bent's replacement being brought in over the summer. Might even see a short term option brought in to cover for Gyan before the end of the season. That's because we've done good business already. We have a stronger squad now than we did three weeks ago and have even more wedge in the bank to be thrown around in the summer. £30m for someone with less than 20 PL goals ffs. The world's gone mad. Em, who's going to be scoring goals for you? You haven't replaced Bent yet. NQDp your getting too excited messing your posts up while watching Sky Sports Knews

And look at it on the otherside, we have a striker now thats worth more then 30 mil and other teams sniffing round. i think retaining the asset is far better. Assets can depreciate as well as appreciate - he would need to come back fit and continue to score goals or his price will plummet. There's no guarantee he'll do that - teams will inevitably start to come to terms with him (like they tend to do with all players) so he'll find it increasingly difficult. This time last year Bobby Zamora was the next big thing.... You could buy half a dozen good players with £30m. Like I said, if they've turned that down they are absolutely mental. Incompetent. Bitter nonsense. Care to explain how that's nonsense? Or indeed why I'm bitter given how swimmingly things are going at the club I support at the moment? If you think £30m isn't a hugely inflated price for an INJURED player with limited Premier League pedigree and considerable off the field problems it's you who is talking nonsense. He's scored 11 goals ffs and a good number of those are from set-pieces. I very much doubt anyone will ever offer anything like that for him again. I joined this board to join in the banter and have a bit of debate, not wind people up. Anyone with half a brain can see that Liverpool have hugely over valued him if the offer that's rumoured to have been made has in fact been made. You monkeys got any pitch invasions/opposition player attacks planned at the Stadium of Light in the near future ? Got to be more interesting for you than speculation about a Newcastle player's future. There's a meeting of the official SAFC Supporters Pitch Invasion and Player Assaulting Planning Group on Thursday, I'll let you know on Friday if anything is decided. Until then you could occupy yourself practicing some knew and more interesting patter, because at the moment you're both tedious and repetitive.

We have a stronger squad now than we did three weeks ago and have even more wedge in the bank to be thrown around in the summer. £30m for someone with less than 20 PL goals ffs. The world's gone mad. oh yeah - i look forward to all your confidence pre derbies again next season.

you could be onto something- as ashley likes his money on the table- but you can bet the tores money is on account. and Liverpools owners havent got cash to buy.

i hope thats done at a press conference

Mackems build an average squad and sign a couple players this window- Now qualified to value players at bigger clubs.

get a whole career out of him, 30 million is cheap,--keep him.

someone on radio 5 just said if Carol is worth £30million- what was Dion Dublin worth.. well.... less than £30 million I rekon.

David Craig on SSN. £30million bid for AC rejected

so liverpool are after AC now.... any club that sells a forward for 20mil+ is gona be mooching around now. cnuts

Gordon's head is too small for his shoulders. ive never noticed- will have to check this out. Has he got a small head or huge shoulders?

its a bit like derby games- one mackem singing a shit song- throngs of Newcastle fans drown him out.

Intersting post. Particularly when it's on page ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY NINE of a thread entitled "Sunderland". Oh the irony. if you were to count the Toon threads/posts on smb over the last year and compare that to the sunderland threads/posts on here. I would Estimate at least 10 times more on us over on smb. ( 10x is being very conservative tbh)

it just goes to show how deep the scars are from our previous world class signings. they are desperate to give some back- but they just look like utter twats by continually jumping the gun about thier self proclaimed superiority ( exposed in the derbies), and celebrating the signing of mediocre players and announcing they are genuine contenders for the champions league. I confess i am sad and obsessed with our rivalry...and make no excuses. Am I seething... no. Am I concerned ....no. Am I afraid of them finishig above us....no. Do I think they will get into europe....no. but if they do will it upset me....no Am I happy we humiliated them in the derbies ....yes. Am I happy Shola Ameobi has scored more goals in Europe than safc...yes. If Nial Quinn had a thousand years and a trillion pounds he couldnt elevate the city of Sunderland to the Level of Newcastle... im happy with this also.

0-2. no wasted chances, no late slips. our season is going to finish well- mark my words.

The league table disagrees. The two games against each other would be a better measure So lets get this right,2 games is a more accurate reflection then 20 odd games? Bizarre logic here. when you consider the 20 odd games were not all against the same teams home and away- at the same times. but the two games against each other were, then yes. So if in our next game with Chelsea we get a draw and that means we have took 4 points off them this season does that make Sunderland better than Chelsea? No of course it doesn't. dont worry you wont.
