Pardew is my dad. He's holding private negotiations with Enrique's lass at the minute.

Douglas said our backup option for Erdinc was a continental-based striker. Happy with that Probably Roux or P Cisse

MsiDouglas Mark Douglas Jungle drums down in t'Midlands seem to be suggesting Charles N'Zogbia to Villa, by the way.No change on #SAFC #NUFC position there it seems

Would like to think Carr has seen Nolan Roux, but I just hope it isn't Long - certainly not for more than £5m.

Douglas says it too but I have a hard time thinking we'd make it that easy for them. Ideally (for Ashley) we'd get him on deadline day for cheaper but if that doesn't go to plan, we'll still be in for him.

Those teeth are perfect for spaghetti...

i've heard he can 'cash in' these shags as part of the deal. he'll be knee deep in clunge.

Thanks

Where's this been reported? Can't even see it on twitter

Wearside, I'm gonna man up and tell you one-to-one that I'm oh so jealous of your teams signings. All of them; the relegated ones, the unknown Korean one, the Championship ones and the old, rotting ManUtd reserve ones. Proper bricking it.

As others have mentioned, I'd love to know how Enrique feels about this. We're not magically in the Champions League, but if one of his best friends at the club is made captain, it's bound to make him happier. And that also means Colo isn't going yet Seriously, this is a great decision.

Can't believe he chose to sign for us - twice! Was desperate for him to return in April, so the next 3 months have just been torture. King Arfa!!!

I'd swap Routledge for McGugan like, no money involved.

And heres the club's one sane decision of the week. Great choice and I'm delighted for Colo

McGugan is good Would definitely have him here for £1.5m.

Isn't football great?

Leicester, Birmingham, West Ham and Nottm Forest look in good nick. Its strange seeing Eriksson, Allardyce and McClaren in the Championship though...

Honestly man, lets obliterate these cunts from earth, i'm just sick of them existing. I actually hate myself for listening to their words and clicking those RTG links. Every day i curse that i live near that hellhole; near those pathetic excuses for life. I suggest they stop shagging their relatives, step outside and sample the real world.....maybe stop being social cretins PS/ 4 years for Brown the averageness of their signings is burning my eyes!

would normally be happy to keep him, but if the club are waiting to sell a few before buying, then I'm fine with Routledge being one of them. good memories though, i remember being ecstatic at Uni the day we bought him.

Bent is much better than Wickham Welbeck is better than Ji-Dong Won (probably) Mensah is better than Brown Onuoha and O' Shea I'd class as equal, same with Vaughan and Muntari. Not really sure about Westwood, they're all so meh. The only improvement is Gardner over Henderson (and maybe Larsson over Zenden). Their starting 11 are definitely weaker, whilst their squad is stronger. But their massive wage bill has inflated even more, so its a risk. A dull, uninspiring risk.

I must say, if Cissokho does go to the bin-dippers, Jose is really running out of options. If nobody has made a move yet, maybe they don't plan to. The longer this goes on the more positive I'm getting.

The Ben Arfa - Ba combo is as mouthwatering as the Tiote - Cabaye one. I'm adamant Ba will be a top signing for us and its great to have another likable guy at the club, considering our recent past. Excited

All of a sudden, when the alternative is Shane Long, this doesn't seem too bad anymore. And if nothing else, he's a hard worker!
