Waiting til April for his return was painful, that being put back til August was torture and now waiting another month.....fucking hell man.

What a great 24 hours - Enrique, Ben Arfa and now this. I still think its unacceptable that we've not gone for him and I'd just like to add that the board are bellends of the highest order! Only consolation is that he's not going to Sunderland - that would've hurt.

Fucking shit news. I'm sick of this now - will we ever see the guy?

Right thats it, the kid needs his own thread! One of my favourite non-NUFC players too.

Orlando!! All is forgiven!!

Sounds like the trip from hell. Obviously we don't know yet, but it sounds like something big has happened. It's all falling apart though, why can't we ever just be normal? :(

If so, I'm really worried about where to get Danny Simpson pics with Dizzee Rascal.

Douglas has just retweeted this: maverick19821 paul ryan by MsiDouglas@ @MsiDouglas wish he would just go! He should remember when we bought him he was crap! No loyalty these days Crap? Wasn't Enrique being watched by Barca/Real for the future? He certainly wasn't crap....

He's right though. But he'll not get away with calling them liars. It'll be the greatest day ever when those bastards at the top finally fuck off.

The standoff must be almost over, then

En colombus ahora. Menudas palizas de viajes nos estamos pegando de mínimo 8 oras. Comparto las declaraciones que a echo hoy joey barton El club esta dejando irse a todos los jugadores importantes del equipo. Enserio creéis que es culpa de los jugadores? Andy,nobby etc etc Nunca este club va a volver a luchar por estar entre los 6 primeros otra vez con esta política. Yo creo que vosotros los fans sois los mejores y os merecéis lo mejor no lo que están haciendo con el club. Gracias a todos por apoyarme ......did a Google translate and its roughly about agreeing with Barton's comments and how can we go for top 6 if we're selling Carroll, Nolan etc. Of course, now Routledge has tweeted: WayneRoutledge Wayne Routledge @ Has just read @Joseenriqe3 tweets... #nailonhead comes to mind?

sounds like he's criticising the transfer policy too. deal must be near completion....

I'd be happy to get Erdinc in for a cool £6m or so, and abandon any more attacking reinforcements in order to go for a new CB. Taylor being our main man alongside Colo is tragically predictable. I'm fed up of the guy. Yeah another CB would settle the nerves a bit and a back-up RB would be great. Ideally it'd be one player that can do both jobs, like Nedum Onuoha. However, that'd only happen if we can peddle Perch or Raylor, which we won't.

Wouldn't be surprised if this was our last addition for the summer (except an Enrique replacement), although we really do need another body in defence.

Back

He was arrested for 'crimes against football' so I think he's another VISA victim.

If he hasn't heard of Ben Arfa, I dread to think how he'll react to Cabaye. Probably never even heard of Demba Ba!

We were in the top 8 until the final day iirc. As for replacing Cahill with Miquel, ha . That's probably why we've been rejecting Arsenal's bids - refusing to pay the asking price and trying to fob us off with youth players, sounds like typical Arsenal really. Aye, I remember Coyle was rightly getting praised all season and yous were doing great. Then all of a sudden the season ends and you're 14th. Mental.

Better than nothing and Carr really rates him, so lets get this sorted. Shola 4th choice

Banter

Laughing on my own like a nutcase here

Yay, one of N-O's chat hijack nights!

Guilty :-[ I was already confused by the title.

And as well as it felt like they were doing, didn't they only finish 14th last season? At least the 3 promoted clubs look terrible....that should save them.

It'll be like a game of Boring Top Trumps; "I have Craig Gardner" "Yeh? Well I have Nigel Reo-Coker" "Oh really? How about Wes Brown" "Dude, you've forgotten Tyrone Mears" "Erm....Anton Ferdinand, bro" "Sean Davis" "Ok, ok man, you win...."
