The Prophet

I'd rather poke my eye out with a rusty screwdriver than watch Smith in a black and white shirt again.

I think even if Joey leaves that deal is dead Hardly.

Cynical but they've probably spoken to Barnetta and realised it will be cheaper to keep hold of Barton.

So does the role of 'British representative' entail whoring foreign players around Premier League clubs?

Luke Edwards: And why would a player from Switzerland, playing in Germany, need an agent in Britain called Barry in the first place? I'm going to lie down

Edwards too, wouldn't surprise me since all agents are attention seeking pricks I could be way off here but from the information we have it sounds like Leverkusen gave us permission to speak to him, we've held positive talks with him and one of his agents and this bloke unhappy with being cut out the loop has stuck his orr in the water. I'm remaining optimistic this will still go through.

Mark Douglas is insinuating the bloke isn't even his agent

Forty grand a week? I don't know how he'd get by Seriously though sounds like standard agent waffle to me, if the player is genuinly interested in a move I think we could still be in with a shout

More talented than Barton in my opinion, whether he adjusts is a different matter. Positive stuff if he signs though.

Good read that. Juventus have done some cracking buisness.

Those Russian clubs are renowned for paying small wages after all. But we maybe can a move to Newcastle will be music to the ears of Wagner. Need to remember though, will his girlfriend settle in the UK? You wouldn't want to Russia. Your puns are s**** Anyway, Moscow Edit: Fuck you Disco, fuck you

I'll miss Colo more than Jose.

f*** off, just f*** off.

We'll get a couple of bodies in before the end of the window, I just hope they're half decent.

He was always away man, we can't keep a player that wants bigger and better things. Ever wondered why he wanted bigger and better things?

Rocker's. Gareth's sullen face seems to sum up the board's collective feelings. Only just realised you weren't quoting me, it's been a long day

My new avatar?

I doubt he's that bothered really. Probably is like. Could have been playing Champions League football and has instead found himself in some grim Northern town which any f***er with an ounce of footballing ability is attempting to leave. Grim Northern town? Somehow I don't think things are as negative as they currently are within the NO vacuum.

I doubt he's that bothered really.

I would

Out of curiosity, highly unlikely but if we were to get Barnetta and M'Bengue in before the transfer window closes how would people feel?

Supposed to be highly rated at Chelsea isn't he? Can see it happening on loan like.

On the Toulouse forum they claim he was excellent going forward but still learning the defensive side of the game.
