Ash

A bloke with warts, 7 eyes, a cleft lip, and Prince Charles ears could pull in liquid. Maybe if you knew what people who were born with that have to go through, you'd reconsider using it as part of a joke, dickhead.

Promising but don't think the club will pursue if we get the players we're already linked with! If he's a back-up option, hopefully we miss out on some of our main targets!

Douglas on Jeremy Menez: "Watched him loads. Not a target at the moment but they like him...He's meant to be very good. They were impressed."

Do they?

HTT's having a mare here like.

How's that backtracking? He's right, he didn't say an offer had been accepted, just talks about N'Zogbia had been happening. Aye, fair do's. have re-read the initial tweet, and its just quite ambiguous. I wasn't the only one to jump to conclusions and think he meant something else! Think plenty of people jumped in assuming that's what he meant to be fair.

Link?

Are you going to support Newcastle next season, mimi? I'm already supporting your team ! I thought it was clear I'm not a fan of football clubs, i'd rather say i'm a fan of players who of course are talented (like Ben arfa ) Fair enough. Hope you'll be buying our new shirt with Ben Arfa on the back.

Don't see why we would be. We have signed a left sided Frenchman already and wih HBA too then Jonas, I know we want Zoggy for the right but still be shocked if we do try and get him. Chronicle article says Marveaux will provide competition for the left wing. You've kind of alluded to it in your post but we still need somebody to play down the right.

Don't see why we would be.

I'm not sure I agree, football is far too 'plastic' nowadays, its lost touch with reality, with the fans and turned into a slick business operation where the only thing that's important is the money. I think its important to keep some form of connection with tradition and sentiments in order to preserve some level of soul in the game. It's little things like having ironic numbers which preserves the affinity that fans have with their club, it would be a travesty to throw away that tradition for the sake of 'rationality'. Exactly, I love the shirt, I'm a massive fan of it and it is definitely "special" in the way that the "7" is at Man Utd, etc. I'd argue with anybody that the 9 here is as iconic as any other number in English football. However, all I'm saying is that those who make the decisions seem keen to remove all traces of this sort of stuff from the club, which is a massive shame. It doesn't currently look like we'll be bringing anybody in with the stones to wear it this season at least, so I can see it going empty again unless they do go down that road and give it to a non-striker. If we don't sign anybody to wear it, I wonder if they'll offer it to Ben Arfa? I know he loves his #10 but with him potentially playing just behind a lone man up top, would it be that out of the question to offer him the #9?

Joey7Barton Joseph Barton No it was from Morrissey's personal security man asking if I would like to meet the great man @ Glastonbury?#heactuallyknowswhoiam

He already knew that, or have I made it up? Sure he mentioned it in his interview on Thursday.

Zog > Larsson Must say I love it how practically every poster on here seems to think N'Zogbia going to Newcastle is a shoe-in,I'd be amazed if Ashley pays double for a player he sold. So would I because he won't need to. Zog has always wanted to be back here and that will drive the price down to a realistic figure. Enjoy Seb Larsson. You are very gullible if you believe that.Enjoy Neil Taylor. We will.

Will more than likely be joining you lads in the Legends Bar for the first three games.

Always get a little excited when you post in this thread, Chris.

Got to say, it wouldn't surprise me if the reason they've stalled is because he thinks he's better than he actually is and is therefore demanding more money than we deem fair.

That's exactly the signing Chelsea need to make to get the best out of Torres in my opinion.

Better than killing yourself like he suggested the other day.

Surely Best cannot be classed as in the same calibre as Ranger? Considering that's from the Sun, I'll wait and see what comes out from Douglas in the morning before believing it.

Every player is for sale at the right price. Don't give a f*** what your ITKs have agreed. If Modric goes Bale and VDV would follow very quickly after. If Modric goes in this window I'll happily give £100 to the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, I've done that before but, on this occasion, I don't think I'll be donating anything. I'm very confident. Quoted, just in case.

As a big fan of horse racing, I'd love to see that kind of emotion from someone...if it wasn't Michael Owen.

Yeah, Sewelly, the ITKs have given the nod, remember?
