So Pardew says he wants a striker in and instead lets one go. When will this end?!?!

It will almost certainly be a subsidised contract or lump-sum pay off.

Doubt it.

Thread title change.

Clearly not going off those quotes. Probably wont have one in before the mackems.

What an absolute fucking joke.

Hardly sounds like we have one on the way then, does it? Which should have been fucking imperative before José was allowed to leave. Absolutely fucking shambolic if we don't have somebody in for Saturday, yet none of us would be surprised.

Absolutely gutted for Ben Arfa more than anything.

Why would you approach? He has a fucking buy-out clause, pay it and sign him for fuck's sake.

It's gone from precautionary, to 2-3 weeks, to 3-4 weeks, to 5-6 weeks. What a fucking situation.

FUCKING HELL.

Really sounds like Pieters is in the bag

Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Fabregas, Thiago, Mascherano, Keita. What a fucking selection of midfielders.

was never gonna get a game anyway It's a fucking joke man. We're a selling club and this is further example of the asset stripping that is crippling our team.

Tend to agree with Otter.

Fuck's sake. Another one out the door 2 days before the start of the season. Farcical from the club.

Doesn't make sense mate. Close, though.

Shittest left back ever that has played 10 times for his country at the age of 23. This forum, man. Most pessimistic fans ever. Aye but in this case international caps shouldn't come into the equation when like Wallsendmag said, they have no one else at left back, and were even relying on van Bronckhorst recently (who no one here would be thrilled with). I would be canny pissed off if we tried to get Feyernoord's assistant manager out of retirement like.

Haway, you've been a member for 2 years....

So is Ferguson still injured then? Would much, much rather see him at left back than say Ryan Taylor/Simpson out of position. So he's probably a winger really and has the physical appearance of a 12 year old but at the very least he's naturally left footed, comfortable in possession and has some pace.

Nice.

Eh? So he randomly one day decided to predict a transfer publicly for the fun of it? Ok. He talks absolute claptrap all the time. Every man and his dog knew they were interested, hardly a surprise this has gone through - but he said it was 'done deal' in April and it's taken till 2 days before the season to go through? Righteo.

Mint.
