Aye, but by the time the media got hold of the Maiga deals, the likelihood is we'd aready moved on. Didn't make any effort to stop the rumours, just got on with our business. If Twente want daft money, we'll have moved on already.

Agree. At least if we are over there, things should be concluded from our perspective sooner rather than later. TBF we've not even had any real confirmation that our boys are over there. Leaks of transfer deals just aren't how we operate nowadays, it just puts the price up. Genuinely wouldn't surprise me if we used a De Jong saga as a smokescreen to another deal, a la Erding/Maiga.

12 hours 39 minutes....

Chronicle saying De Jong took in two games at SJP last season. Travelled over when he first heard of NUFC interest

Rumours of a season long loan to Ipswich. Interesting considering we're a bit light in CM as it is.

No bumps during the night.

Can you do it with white shorts? Always thought that looks better

Yep

Do Sports Direct pay for their advertising at SJP?

Unless this De Jong talk is a smokescreen for us to really sign Messi, a la the Cisse deal. All we need next is the classic 'failed medical'.

Aye true

More signings = More excitement for the fans = more 'impulse buys' of season tickets from the fickle fans.

If you put "Catts f" into Google, the top results is "Catts for me like"

What's that in pounds? 7.5? 7.1 to be exact. It's not very expensive like (if accepted) Pretty high for a fullback IMO. We're only in the Europa League. True, but one that will offer us very very much offensively as well. Will he go round swearing at people?

The marseille forum 'Foot Marseille' has a 155 page thread on nufc

The German FA have apparently banned Turkish teams from playing per season friendlies in Germany

Dunno.

Sunday Sun saying Benfica have withdrawn interest after being quoted 10m.

Unproven.

Cabaye, Tioté, Jonas, Amalfitano, Perch, Vuckic. Rumoured to be looking to bring in another CM this summer too. I think we'd be fine. We'd need to. I see quality, quality, mixed bag, unproven, on a roll last season and injury prone youngster. Wouldn't be confident going into four competitions with those as our options.

If Gosling goes it leaves us very light in CM, especially considering Tioté's injury record.

RB-CB-CB-LB CM-CM RF-CF-LF I see it more as: Krul Simpson Taylor Colo Santon Tiote Jonas Cabaye HBA Ba Cisse Hopefully with Simpson replaced by Debuchy.

They do, WC qualifier. No they don't, they play them in the Autumn.

The Czech's play Italy in the fall
