  1. Based on the season ticket sales they could do with hurrying up the big signing because I think there are plenty of unsold seats left this year.

     

    I'm quite confident that if the club were aiming to shift ST's by making a couple of big signings, it would all be part of a planned out business and marketing plan, that would materialize at the right time. For this reason, and knowing Ashley's penchant for the sensational, I wouldn't be surprised if we were pleasantly surprised by events unfolding at tomorrow's open day.

  2. Villa pay over the top for Cueller...

     

    Anton Ferdinand - 10m

    Younes Kaboul - 6m

    Carlos Cuellar - 7.8m

     

    Those were two others we were linked with this summer. I know which one looks the best.

     

     

     

    that's right. Cuellar pisses all over the other 2 from a great height

  3.  

    It's the middle of August, and as most of you, my addiciton to N-O triples, but quadruples at this time, waiting to hear about who we've signed and who we've shipped off.

     

    Plenty of rumours (good and bad) are making the rounds, and we have a couple of incoming/outgoing deals in the pipeline waiting to be confirmed.

     

    What if this place (Newcastle-Online) went down for good as of this afternoon? whatever the reason for that may be (a nuclear holocaust, volcano eruption, dodgy Dave, or an authority ban on all football forums)....

     

    What would you do with yourself? back to teletext? would you implode? seriously...think of all the information/disinformation you would miss out on....think of all the friends you've made on here that you'd lose touch with....think of CoachHTT

     

    I can't say what I'd do....but i'd probably seriously think of getting on the next flight out to Newcastle, and sit there outside SJP with all the Sky mongs, and lap it all up

     

    How about you?

  4. I personally thought Coccolini would end up playing in the holding role in CM, perhaps even dictating tempo which could be someone considered a 'playmaker.'

     

    Probably bollocks though, but hey-ho, we're all having fun speculating.  :pow:

     

    sorry mate....pedatnic i know.....but still!!! we've got a 150 page thread on him

  5. I hope everyone realises that a playmaker can be the defensive midfielder, just look at Milan (Pirlo is usually the playmaker tere). They dictate the play and they controll the plays. Im not talking about every team but this might be the case with Coloccini.

     

    I hope everyone realises that this thread needs locking.

     

    why destroy such a beautiful thing?

  6. Could have been mis-read as a midfielder i.e DM.

     

    The key to how much truth there is in this will be when Colo steps out onto the pitch. If he starts in midfield i may be tempted to believe it.

     

    Obviously we all like the sound of that "big named" player, i'll believe that when i see it.

     

    Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuud

  7. Good news lads, I'm off to a meeting about lunchtime. :pow:
