Geordie Ahmed

no he wouldnt - he is s*** He's better than the s**** we have upfront currently. not much better if at all - pointless lumbering ourselves with a crap player we will spend 3 years struggling to shift

no he wouldnt - he is shit

The team should be good enough to stay up BUT boy do we need a striker - well we needed on to partner Carroll so actually we need 2 strikers now

The last few hours have been mental - gonna take a break from this

What Pardew said was irrelevant - it was always going to be whether Ashley would accept a bid and then if Carroll was happy to leave - it seems like both of those are happening

Any replacement will be bought in the summer We will never get a like for like replacement - just going to have to go for something different

that was a lifetime ago

It is hard to argue with the money - it is the timing that is the problem If we struggle for the rest of the season (as is a strong possibility with Shola and Best up front) what good is the £35 Million?

£35 Million is good money BUT we cant do anything with it until the summer Shola and Best til the summer? Meh

He doesn't. Search up his latest interview in the chronicle. I know he wants to stay here BUT lets hope even if a bid is accepted he refuses to talk to Liverpool Would hate to see him playing for them

Fuck - this is too soon - lets hope he does not want to leave

Wow - £30 million is a lot of money BUT glad its been rejected - lets hope the rats and other vultures stay away now

Dont think they did - I think Petrov was playing as the holding midfielder Though Villa did fuck all in that match it was hard to work out what positions their players were playing in

I vaguely recall him having a shot off target - other than that I think he just ran around in circles really

Happy enough with this - when his head is right he is canny player - if it doesnt work out then it isnt an issue for us

I would let Smith, Sol, Lovenkrands and Perch go in the summer, maybe Best or Shola as well if sign a striker

Yep, totally agree with this. Bassong had a bid that was accepted, so he left. And he left to a club with a much brighter future than ours (then, and now), so the booing just seemed like bitterness from our fans, imo. Bitter that a good player left us for a club like Spurs who we had gotten so used to dominating, and bitter because we as a club looked like we were going nowhere. Given doesn't deserve to be booed. He gave so many good years to the club and left when Ashley was destroying the club from the inside, so it's not his fault that we were s*** at the time. He never gave away a soft goal, he never looked like he didn't care and he was always one of the best players in our team so to boo him because of his actions over two weeks at the end of his stay with us is just insane, imo. Yeah, let's forget about the 10 years, the CL run, the near-miss in the UEFA cup, the super saves, the FA Cup finals etc., and let's just think about his last two weeks here. Seems petty as f***. When Given retires, he'll be remembered as one of the best gks in the premiership of his generation, and he'll always - and rightly, in my opinion - be associated with us. :clap: I agree with this post - given is a legend in my eyes and I would give him a standing ovation if he ever plays against us again

Has done well so far - barring the FA Cup match we won the games we were expected to and could easily have gotten something against Citeh and more against the Mackems and Spurs Though he still talks some shite - his comment after the game that "we had a lot of squad players in the team today", did we?? I think not

Guthrie certainly isnt as bad as the last dozen pages or so have suggested He did have a horrible game against wba BUT overall he has been a good player for us - he does need to work on his fitness though BUT he certainly is good enough as a squad player for us

Had a good game today - he does need to sort his fitness out though, tires easily and seems to be carrying a few too many pounds

Aye the Uni was not an issue BUT when you ventured beyond that, it was horrid - especially for someone with a brown face, horrible place

I spent a year at Uni there - the Uni was alreet BUT the rest of the place was an absolute shit hole

Gutted with conceding a goal so late BUT I would have taken a point before the match so not totally gutted Their reaction does not surprise me - horrible club and a horrible place that will forever remain in our shadow

Not as confident without Tiote - he really makes our team tick, Alan Smith is going to be shite

Bollocks :facepalm:
