How many teams did spend more than us last season, and finished bellow us? Its not about the price or total cost man, quality, not quantity. Still agree we need a RB Championship teams shouldn't be spending more than top 4 contenders. No they should not, but that is their problem right? They are in Championship, we are top 4 contenders according to some, and for a reason. I'd say it's more our problem, especially as we took £3million from them. Still they fail to even be in the PL. While we have players like HBA, Cisse, Cabaye, Tiote etc in our squad. I am not necessarily disagreeing with you, but looking on just what they have spend is no indication on quality imo.

SIZE!!!! BIG SIZE! :lol:

I will wait and see until Friday night. But if he goes for 7m its a scandal really. Him and Cabaye in the squad photo

Based on his posts he hate Ashley. (Had to check if there was some kind of pattern on when he usually emerged.) Dont blame him, even stopped going to games. Not setting his foot at the stadium until the cowboys are gone. Maybe it changed last season when things started to go well, not sure

If 7mill is agreed i have to ask what the fuck we have been proposing for him

In my time supporting the club there's been only a few real visionaries: Kevin Keegan, John Hall and Bobby Robson. Blokes who thought "bollocks to being an also ran, let's take this club somewhere special". Ashley and co are like far too many other managers, players and even fans who are content to shuffle their feet and say "oh we'll, we ARE only Newcastle United, let's be happy with what we have." Depressing outlook on life in general and certainly in football. For what it's worth, I think Pardew has shown enough in his time here to suggest that we could really make an assault on 4th place if he'd been backed. Bullocks man. I see a NUFC team now who is the most entertaining i have seen in a long time. Players who are way above anything we have had in almost 10 years. Last season we finished 5th, amazing stuff, fucking best i have felt in a long time. I find it more miserable to go around in life, as a fan as i am, always complaining like a spoiled child that we did not get X player etc. (Not a dig at you that) I simply enjoy football, and the sooner the transfer window is over, the better. Its a fucking crime against humanity that the transfer window does not end before the season, it ruin people And to be honest, i do not think a RB and a striker would propel us into the top 4 next season anyway, and that is not being pessimistic, but a realistic optimist Also, some people here say spurs are so active, and sign players etc. If you look at Spurs you see they usually sell a star player to invest in the squad. Like we did with Carroll. Who would you sell?

Well put!

:lol:

Better to reinvest on the pitch than have a healthier P&L account. Only if you have the money to hand and the right players are available at the right price. What a bizarre defence of the indefensible? It's short-sighted idiocy. We're generating profits which will grow, the only reason MA has to put his hand in his pocket is because he insists on paying all fees upfront but he lets us get paid on the never never (Carroll aside). You mean to tell me there is not a better RB out there at a reasonable price? What about a French International who did well at the Euros? From a financial perspective if I remember rightly where we also fell down was that our commercial revenue had actually shrank since MA arrived, that's apparently DL's remit and he's failing spectacularly. European football and attracting a better class of football might actually aid DL grow this revenue stream, but it appears we're far more interested in future re-sale value than organic growth as a football club. It's why people continually question motives and intentions. History tells us since MA revealed the type of person he is, one window apart, January just passed, we know what's going to happen. Jesus man, look at the squad we have, quite good right. We are keeping our best players (so far) We are doing something right, our additions have been spot on the last years. I want more players, at least a RB, dont get me wrong. But frankly we have no clue whats going on in the negotiations with Lille or any other clubs. But goddamn man, get some air I'll excuse you for not understanding as you're foreign, but yeah my favourite colour is green as I said above. Yes, me being foreign has a lot to do with my understanding. Such a childish argument, but go on The fact is you get wound up by the media/twitter/forum bandwagon in regards to signing players, while the fact is we know jack s*** of whats going on behind the scene. If everything was as easy as some here are going on about Debuchy, i am sure he would be a NUFC player by now. Obviously its not as straight forward, and i think Lille hold out for top dollar for this lad despite what the media says about rumored transfer fees. What are you going on about? I'n not wound up at all, I've never purported to know anything whatsoever? It is quite straight forward you pay a price a club wants or you don't, that simple, if not you move on to another target, or why look for a RB if we don't need one? Like you, it's very, very simple. But i disagree its so simple. I think we had a "agreement" with Lille what Debuchy would cost, and i think they reassessed the price after the Euros. Even Debuch hinted something like that in a interview he made dident he? So we are playing hardball with Lille regarding the price. I also think that we have other RB`s in mind, but that is hard to tell really. And to be honest, what successful business man agree on the first price the seller gives them? At least on a product like a football player, with no retail price. What are you talking about? I don't have your insider knowledge you've already claimed nobody has, but Lille want a price, we're not willing to pay it, move on. Pardew talked about there not being a B,C, D list etc. I don't even know why I'm acknowledging you and your ramblings, here have some Pardew quotes:- Mathieu Debuchy’s transfer is out of Pardew’s hands: “I’m pretty relaxed about the transfers, it’s out of my hands now to a degree. “Myself, Graham (Carr) and the team have put together what we think is a shortlist and it’s about Derek (Llambias) and Lee (Charnley) and Mike (Ashley) getting a deal that they think is right for the club. Pardew is relaxed about current squad: “If I have to run for the first game or the first week (of the season) with this squad I’m pretty relaxed about that. Having said that, I’m still pretty hopeful there’ll be a body or two in before then. But lets wait and see.” There is no ‘B’ list. “I don’t like to think we have a ‘B’ list. It’s an ‘A’ list and sometimes it’s just whether all the ingredients are there.” “If that isn’t working, you just go to another name on the ‘A’ list. There’s not many names on it – there’s two or three in each position. All of those players would take us forward.” Its based on what Debuchy himself said in a interview ffs And what the fuck does this Pardew quotes have anything to say in this matter? You call my posts ramblings Just leave it man, i am just a foreigner, locked up in a cave anyway.

Great signing for them. Happy we meet them in the first round like.

Walcott out Afellay in for Arsenal maybe?

Real Madrid are ready to offer €10m which is €2m more than the €8m we thought Lille were holding out for? I don't think we know anything whats going on behind the scenes really. There must be a reason why we can not agree on this deal imo.

That would be insane. fkn chelsea man, fucking chelsea. spoiled brats

Contingency plan pls.

RIP.

Since he made it in the championship he had 58 matches and 28 goals for us. So that is not that bad is it. Still i agree money could be spend better, but i really have no clue at the end of the day.

He can't get a game coz the manager dosnt want him, not coz he is shite. Carroll is better than Borini. Not always as simple as you are making out At the same time he is a center forward. We have Ba and Cisse who also i primary center forwards. So i think what most people are thinking is "whats the point?" Why do we not go for another type of forward who like to play out wide too. It would give us more options. The price is for me at last, just a secondary consideration.
