Not again. What about it? Humour me.

We spend years scouting, researching and following these players. Then it seems we have utterly no idea how much they're going to cost us. And if we do, we don't really want to pay it. So why not scout for players within our budget?

For a club that spend years researching players, it's a shame we don't find out how much they're likely to cost.

Clearly not that much wrong with him.

Thought this had disbanded along with Colocho? We removed Colocho from the group, but carried on. Since then, we've been helping co-ordinate the Tickets For Troops campaign, supporting NUWFC and will be giving live coverage of the Academy in the NI Milk Cup next week. Trying to give a little more back to fans, rather than complain all the time about everything.

Not according to their goalkeeper, who I've been chatting to. She said aside from one player (Steven I believe) there's just no contact from the men's club.

At United for Newcastle, we're doing some fundraising for NUWFC. We're trying to pay for a player's training fees for an entire season, which will cost £200 incl. kit. If you can spare anything, please support NUWFC. http://wefund.com/project/sponsorship-for-nuwfc/p44675/ (They don't get any money from the full club, which is crazy. Apparently Steven Taylor's the only player to have donated.)

It was widely reported that we received £30m, with an extra £5m to follow I believe.

Amalfitano looks like he'll take a while to be ready. Bigi looks like a great Tiote backup.

Nice to see Harper again.

That looks like one big glass. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v610/mspkye/PDVD_003.jpg

Why would you even mention Forster, Smith and Kadar? May as well list the youth players we've ditched too. For Europa League reasons. I doubt Smith would have been loaned out if we'd had a full European group campaign to play. And while Kadar didn't play, many were begging for him to during the CB injury crisis because our squad was too thin. I'm just urging prudence in our transfers, and suggesting people remember we could have many more matches this season. Keeping the squad the same size will result in more injury problems over the course of the year, and it'd be nice to have backups and alternatives. Unless we do a good deal of business, it doesn't look like the squad will be much bigger.

Smith, Forster, Lovenkrands & Kadar started 4 games last season and were subs in 10 others. Somehow i think we will survive without them. As you say Amal has come in, obviously Simpson & Best will be replaced with better and others will come in too so its not an issuse at all imo. More concerned about Europa League, and the fact that all the above players (Barring Forster) would have started and subbed in on many more games had last season been like this.

We need to be careful, and not go fapping ourselves over a £4m fee. So far, we've brought in Amalfitano, and got rid of Smith, Guthrie, Best, Forster, Lovenkrands, Kadar and now we might let Simpson go? All when our squad was too small to begin with. Are we really going to bring in 5 or 6 additional signings? Even then, that'll only keep our squad the same size. Squad players are important, and Simpson would be an ideal one for another year.

That's f***ing brilliant. "Keep calm and get Shola on" I've got that proudly hung on my wall.

Shearer vs Everton Cisse vs Chelsea Albert vs Man Utd Ameobi v Sunderland (all of them, but particularly the volley in the 5-1) Martins vs Spurs

I've never seen either Benzema or Robben have a good game, so I can never understand the fuss.

Ferdinand at his best was frightening, he was a colossus. But of the two, Terry is far closer to his peak than Ferdinand, who for at least half this season at Man Utd looked mediocre. Lescott is by far a better choice to partner, or Jagielka. That said, I'd have Ferdinand in ahead of Martin fucking Kelly.

Well if NUFCFans say this is it, I suppose it must be fake.

I often wonder if your old mate is part of that embarassing site I can see the similarities.

NUFCFans should STFU.

Betting suspended on him at the moment by Sky.

Sky have suspended betting.

Can only be a good thing. We'll inevitably fail to get the majority of them.
