Yeah, agree about how the first team would feel if this one signing before the transfer window shuts doesn't happen.

More of undecided how to spend it. Deciding on whether to invest on the defence or attack took too long imo until we ran out of time.

F***ing cringe. Really sad how he's just destroyed himself. Absolutely loved him during his last season. Avoided controversy, played with grit and passion, was a real leader, was at the top of his game, and genuinely loved playing for the Toon. Maybe until January then we sold Carroll and his influence slowly diminished again... We got 6-8 good months out of him in 4yr... http://i48.tinypic.com/2vsjho7.png

Look, I'm all for upping his wages but we really shouldn't be doubling them. I'd up it but not beyond what is unfair. If he's still earning Championship wages of 10k or less, I'd up it a bit but never up to the 30k mark like he wants. On the topic of Debuchy, I'm actually hoping this pulls through as I'm not sure how Cabs would react if we fail, especially with the rumours making the rounds lately.

Krul Santon Saylor Coloccini Enrique Tiote Anita/Jonas Ben Arfa Cabaye Ba Cisse How can anyone say no to that? Should it happen, I'm still undecided if I'd play Anita or reunite the three Amigos though. Leaning towards the former but still unsure.

Would love to get him out of retirement like, could use a good header of the ball.

Obertan as impact sub, please.

Would have preferred it if they added more green into it. That shade of green makes it look like chicken f***ing curry. Meh, won't be used much as the home and away contrast really well like.

So if last year was a year of Frenchies, we're now trying to load up with Dutch lads (assuming we get him and Douglas). Does it have something to do with them flopping in the most recent major tournament? Nothing to do with any of that. Theres about a 10% chance we will sign either Affelay or Douglas. The only common denominator for all our transfers are the age of the target and whether the price is "good value." I know. Would be interesting if the value slightly goes down for players of a country who had a recent stinker. An unlikely IF that made me think a bit. On the topic, his arrival should only secure the 4-3-3 and probably we won't see Ba and Cisse playing together. Not sure if the latter is good or bad though.

The only way we would look like the SoS is if we bought an industrial fan and emptied a rubbish truck on the pitch. FMP, realized we don't do s***holes.

Really wish they would prioritize filling the seats in the lower tiers, especially the Gallowgate. Wouldn't want our ground to look like empty as f*** in front of the whole continent.

Nah. I'm all for fast forwarding though to see who we get, if we get.

Also gonna be much easier to nab one off a Nike, much more common and with better stocks. Having said that though, I wouldn't want it to be too mainstream like the ManYoo kits.

Canny to see some shirt swapping at the end like if he plays.

Aye, the two Ameobis and Campbell cannot cover that up, imo. We need a striker, preferably in this window so we can get them while they aren't cup-tied for the cup or Europe.

I know I had my part in this, but I just realized that this has suddenly turned into a Simpson thread.

Aye, still can't help but feel that he spent his happiest times here, and he's seething that it was taken away from him. Though he doesn't realize that never shutting up was key to that.

How do you measure commitment and desire? Playing to the whistle instead of whining to the ref while play goes on (and your team is disadvantaged) to save face is a good start This isn't one of the 'Jose Enrique body language speculation' moments. He also seems to let his defensive partners to cover up for his error rather than making the effort to make amends.

Panicked for a moment that you were referring to Debuchy. With Simpson though, I agree.
