Hopefully this is confirmed soon, would make this one hell of a week

£400k bid from Wigan apparently.

 

Think we can get a lot more than that.

Odd from Martinez, Stam and Boyce are better than him

Very odd, a lot of this doesn't make sense

I guess we need another CB because we are an inevitable Saylor injury away from a MYM-Willo partnership

Steven Taylor's pass completion rate is 90.4%

What's Williamson's?

Sounds like he is a definite step up from Shola so it's a step in the right direction. 

 

I hate statements like this. The player hasn't played 1 minute in the Premier League yet and is a totally unknown quantity. He could easily flop or struggle to adapt. If he is bought as Ba's replacement he will need to come in and score goals straight away, and even if he is brought in as a squad player only he will still have to contribute meaningfully.

 

Considering Shola is s***, it doesn't take much being a step up from him

 

Pathetic. And when this player turns out not to be Messi incarnated.... then what?!

 

Who mentioned Messi?

 

It is fair to say he can't be worse than Shola, not sure how you can disagree with that

 

He can be and could be.

 

No-one mentioned Messi but the way some people are going on its like "way hay, he's better than Shola get the f*** in and therefore = goals or major contributions".

 

Me, I'm worried that we are signing unknown quantities who will take time to settle to pretty much save us from going down.

BUT Shola is a known quantity, that quantity being shit

f*** off Remy.

This is going to be a long week

Would be devastated if this deal is hijacked, would hurt more than the Remy deal

Honestly not sure why any Newcastle fan would do this at the moment.

 

Obviously emotions are high due to our current predicament which people are aware of. So I really don't what they'd get out of doing this.

I agree

We are in a delicate state after the Remy saga and we have people taking the piss

So, is he any good`?

 

Better then Lilian Thuram apparently..

BUT not as good as Uma Thurman

When is tollemache coming on to tell us all that we must wait until deadline day to sign someone to play instead of Shola and that that's acceptable?

 

Could happen at any point... sooner the better obviously, and it does look like we might be closing in on one or two in the next day or so, but if one or two of them take longer that's just the way it goes. I just don't think it's possible to click your fingers and insist everything gets done in 2 days unless you have enough money to render irrelevant any attempts by other clubs, agents and the players themselves to maximise their profits. We don't have that much money so if an agent wants to play silly buggers until deadline day, which they love to do, then we just have to play along.

 

I haven't seen anything this window to suggest that we don't have a decent list of targets and we're going for them as quickly as possible.

 

It'll be interesting to see the reaction if we do end up with a RB, CB and forward. Probably just be 'he should have done it sooner'.

And that reaction would be perfectly understandable, these signings should have happened in the summer. I will be delighted if they happen now BUT I'm not going to be "grateful" to Ashley for doing the correct thing 6 months late

I feel he's on for an unusual big/quality spending spree this window. I really feel he's going to nail a bunch of transfers.

 

I'm not p*ssed, either

 

He's definitely willing to spend in this window, we've already bought Debuchy, probably a CB and narrowly missed out on Remy. I don't know how anyone can deny we're looking to sign people.

The cold hard fact is we have signed one player, nearly signed and probably signed don't count

Who were the big names to depart following the last relegation campaign?

 

I'm aging myself here as a committed NUFC fan.

Beye

Duff

Martins

Viduka out of contract

Owen out of contract

Bassong

signing a left back when you need a striker or winger, fantastic

It is possible to sign more than one player at a time

If we fail to sign a Striker and a CB it will be a disgrace BUT let's not turn our noses up at signings which will give us much needed squad depth. Santon the poor sod could do with a rest and signing a left back will allow that to happen

When ben arfa is fit we won't see him and marv in the same team under pardew

Sadly you are right, we need tackles in the team after all

There was this mint control he did near the centre circle, killed the long ball and turned away from the player

He played well and it is a disgrace that he was taken off BUT he sums Pardew up

Get Ben Arfa to the right of him and someone competent down the left (new signing) and we will look a different side going forward. OR we could just stick with the shite Jonas and Shola

Get in, Odemwingie

Now grab the winner please

Howay West Brom, sort it out ffs

Blaming the fans eh, he really has lost the plot

.com think he's here already. Basically to sign today.

 

Hopefully the board have told him it's all good...Pardew is gone.

 

Erm. Didn't he start for his current club today?

Aye he is playing right now, still over 20 mins left so he certainly hasn't signed for us

"Couldn't get a grip"

Aye, that's because you are a cowardly moron, piss off

Him starting is baffling BUT being given 90 mins is a fucking disgrace
