So would I, but Veloso would still be a massive improvement on our squad. I cant see us buying him though...

Kamara on SSN said they had been the better side, then they conceded. The goal might knock the stuffing out of them. Here's hoping. Aye. But I'd expect them to pull away from the bottom easier than us... Get the fuck in!

Money from the Given sale used to pay the next installment to Deportivo? That is if that rumour is true. ah right. seems pretty ridiculous that we cant play the lad till the window passes. really pointless paying £6m for him in the first place. its probably Kinnear not liking the guy. Id like to see him get a proper chance. Could have some much needed goals in him. If Martins aint fit for tomorrow. Xisco could be really useful The rumour was that we have paid so much to Deportivo up front, with the rest coming after he makes 10 appearances (apparently £2.5m). With the club as skint as it is, we might have to sell a player to fund the next installment, which would maybe explain why he hasn't got a look in but wouldn't explain why we would agree to that especially if we have no money to pay for it. Imagine if he had set the world alight and then come 9 appearances, sorry Xisco lad you're being benched. So confusing.. Ye it is. His scoring record in Spain wasnt what you'd call exceptional but he was supposed to be canny. He's more than worth a go for us at the moment, though. He played well against Hull I though yet was dropped the following game! Such unprofessionalism at this club.

how are we a selling club? the only players who leave are ones who are very unhappy or crap. i cant think of anybody who we have sold purely for the profit. Given for one. The club seem more than happy to let him go (even though he wants to, I know). Plus every player is available for sale if rumors are to be true. he's handed in a transfer request. we arent forcing him out at all. and that last bit is a load of media s*** stirring. zero proof anywhere that that is the case. We've also been trying to offload players like Barton and Enrique. Good players. I'm not sure if its just me, but I've got the drift from Ashley that if the offer suits him, he'll sell. Even sunderland arent selling their best player(s)! They kept Kenwyne Jones when they couldve easily sold him.

Looks like Portsmouth could be joining us in fighting for their lifes come May. They really are in trouble....

Just because we've signed Kevin Nolan doesnt mean we're safe from the drop, ffs. We've still got a hell of a lot of work to do to survive.....make no doubt about it. 2 or 3 signings will help a lot, though. Although how hard morale will be hit when Given leaves is something I'm not looking forward to...

But why on earth would a club buy a player KNOWING that they have to pay money for him? Why? I just cant see the logic in buying a player and not playing him because you're gonna have to pay an installment for him. Its just barmy! I think its got to be Kinnear just not liking the lad. He hasnt done too much wrong and hes already got a goal for us. Maybe Ashley's telling him not to play him.....or pretend that he doesnt exist?

I don't mind selling if the finances dictate it, but the money has to be re-invested well. But we shouldnt be wanting to sell our best players like Given. Zogg is fine as hes a prick, but not priceless players like Shay. He's turned us into a selling club imo, and he'll do whats right for his finances, not NUFC.

At fault for Carroll's goal, too. Always thought he's overrated. Why is he scared from putting the ball anywhere near his right foot? Very one footed player. I hate seeing that in a player. Even if he can use the outside of his foot its still not good. You have twice the space on a football pitch with two good feet.

He still doesnt have my backing. Just because we've signed Kevin Nolan doesnt mean he changing his ways. He's still a cunt. Lets face it, the man has turned us into a selling club that we once were in the 80s.

I wouldnt be shocked to see Jonas play upfront....sadly.

Bellamy and JJ will get their usual (deserved) stick when we play them, but N'Somnia will get a shit load of it, imo. Hopefully he does because hes a right cunt. I really hope Shay doesnt. Im sure he'll get a very warm reception from our fans. It could be quite different for Owen though...

Im getting so nervous now, losing just simply isnt an option. I keep thinking we'll do them but then I think of Jones, Cisse, Malbranque and Richardson and I fear for us. If we win it'll be a very close one. F*ck me I'll do anything for a win! C'MON THE TOON!

No, no way. I hate seeing Duff upfront. He's bad enough on the wing but when hes upfront hes non-existent. I'd prefer to even give Alan Smith a go!

N'Zogbia might've turned out to be much better than he currently is if Duff wasnt here and we'd bought LB's.

Oh for christ sake!! Give us a fucking break. Looks like the negotiators will be working way overtime.

Tbh, I think we need to get another CM in first. Veloso maybe? (doubt it). Then a LB. If we were to get rid of either Viduka, Xisco and/or Ameobi, then I'd go hunting for a striker. And as someone else said in this thread Kevin Doyle would be canny. But we must be careful not to buy so much that we block out our youth players even more. Instead of buying a new RW, we can just use Lua Lua. Simple. And instead of buying another target man we might as well play Andy Carroll up there for the rest of the season and see how he does. He's got two goals already and Im sure theres a few more in him. We've got to give these youngs lads a chance to blossom. But in saying that we must also get the right blend of experience and class that will help the younger lads.

Zoggy was supposedly off to Fulham a few seasons ago few only £3m or something like that. So to get 6m plus a good player for him now is just great news. All we need now is another CM and a LB if we can....then we'll be looking half decent.

Cut the guy some lack, man. He's served us for 11 years and has been our most consistent performer in that time. He deserves somewhere where he'll win things. Anyway, hats off to the negotiators. Much better than the Shepherd/Hall regime. I thought he was going to City? Well with their money/ambitions their going places much quicker than us. I know theres not a massive difference atm between ourselves and City, but next season we'll probably notice it quite a bit more...

Good deal. Im fed up with Zogg, tbh. Little cunt. Hopefully Kinnear will follow him in the summer...

12 tickets? Jesus christ! How did he get that much? I thought you were only allowed to get 2 at most or something like that. They'll just get the shit kicked out of them if they reveal themselves as the scum that they are. Well, I hope they do.

mackems.gif Stupid cunt!

Aye, their actually canny shite. Its just that we have such a thread bare squad atm that we're focusing on them way more than us. If we get the first goal and play like we can then we will fucking hammer them- and they know that.
