Brought in Fletcher for Adebayor but now I have visions of Geordie-boy Graham scoring at the SoL

It's certainly a good model to imitate, although I'm sure a lot of clubs are saying that about us now.

What's the feeling on Adebayor? He can't play this week and has tricky fixtures coming up. However, he's the only striker for the 3rd placed team.....he should do well. Very tempted to replace him with either Fletcher, Graham, Long or Ruiz.

No big loss, it shouldn't be too hard to get a cheap, decent back-up keeper.

Krul, Forster, Elliot (Harper) Santon, Simpson, Saylor, Raylor, Coloccini, Perch, Williamson (Kadar) Cabaye, Tiote, Marveaux, Ben Arfa, Jonas, Guthrie, Gosling, Abeid, Vuckic, Obertan, Ferguson (Smith) Cisse, Ba, Best, Shola, Sammy (Lovenkrands, Xisco, Ranger) Get rid of the players in brackets and we still have a large squad. The size isn't the problem, it's the quality. The task this summer is to upgrade the likes of Obertan, Gosling, Simpson and Perch. I haven't been this excited about our squad in a long time, we just have to pray that Ashley shows some ambition.

If we have this rumoured £8m would rather Clyne &/or another young CB and give the rest to Colo's contract fund depending whether Clyne came this window or next. Same here. Clyne, Dunk and a Colo contract

For squad purposes, we should keep Perch and Shola. But 'losing' Harper, Smith, Lovenkrands, Xisco and Ranger won't affect us in any way, apart from freeing up wages.

And a partridge in a pear tree

PSG are his club, but if they add a Tevez or Pato this month, no doubt they'll set their sights even higher in the summer. Would they really need Ba? Tottenham are who I fear here.

Either Demba or Demba or coming in my team, without doubt. I'd put Cisse at around 6.5m

You can play against the mackems but thats it, Shola. Leave, dammit.

ITV are showing it, so no.

Modibo who?

Impromptu piss up? Gotham, yeh?

Granted.

We are mint. We are seriously now mint.

Nolan Roux is joining Lille. It's a good thing we're getting Cisse.....

He has an apartment near the Quayside. Suppose it makes sense if he plans on smashing the gash

IsSebbiThere Y.W.L.T @dembabafoot can you give me some tips on being a striker or left wing midfield ? dembabafoot Demba Ba @IsSebbiThere score some goals man

Theres some funny shit in this thread To celebrate, I've decided to use the Papyrus font on Word for the next month. And having just started an FM game with Stoke, organised a Monday night friendly with Freiburg and seen him bang in a hat-trick - I can confirm that yes, he CAN do it on a Monday night at Stoke.

Papiss Cisse Number 9 for Newcastle Papiss Cisse He's our friend (also in the chants thread)

And now for the main event.......to the tune of 'I Love Horses'. Papiss Cisse Number 9 for Newcastle Papiss Cisse He's our friend

No more news, just hoping that signing Cisse will convince him to stay.

Sign it right now, Colo. Sign it. SIGN IT!!!

Think he will get #9, personally. Oh wow, this is excellent. How mint are we?
