Anyone seen his comments on ebola? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29647351 Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew says the club are making provisions against the Ebola virus in preparation for the return of some players from international duty. Cheick Tiote and Papiss Cisse both played African Cup of Nations qualifiers across the continent. And Pardew said it would be "naive" of the club not to have concerns. "They are essential to us and our doctor has looked into the problems that might arise," he said. "We have a strategy for when they return and making sure they and their families are taken care of." Tiote was part of the Ivorian side which played a double-header against DR Congo, while Cisse's Senegal faced Tunisia home and away.

As much as I painfully want us to lose every league game until he's gone I just can't bring myself to hoping we lose a cup game. In any case I'm almost clinging on to the hope that should we scrape through, he'll be gone by the time the 4th round gets here.

This. I think being the main man here and playing every week would see him score more goals than he does now. Playing each game as a central striker would help too.

Strikes me as Rodgers' ego pushing through this transfer in the hope that he can be the one to 'tame' Balotelli, if he can do that then he'll have a heck of a player on his hands.

Only positive I can take is that at least he's been given a number, I fully expected him not to be given one. Although being cynical it's probably just so they can shift some more shirts with his name on seeing as he's our most popular player.

Just out of interest , where is this 30 million going to come from ... Smag pls

Would anyone have Lascelles as our first choice alongside Colo? From what I've heard about him it sounds like they would complement each other quite well.

I'd agree with this, although i'd change Tiote for Anita personally. Maybe Santon for Haidara too.

I'd say so, although I think it says more about the current regime than me actually being pleased with our squad at the moment. If we signed another striker then I would be chuffed, a Centre back and i'd be over the moon. In reality a striker and centre back should be the minimum but not under Ashley unfortunately.

That's why I put Gouffran as an option to be fair. Although I couldn't leave Hatem out knowing he's still registered to us!
