Only problem to your plan is he's got 3 year left on his contract not 12month...

Yep... It's not NUFC related but it was radio gold!

If we fail to get Debuchy is the plan to fill the RB position externally or internally for a start whilst trying to clarify if Santon is to remain on the left due to quotes from the player saying otherwise... I'll try and pipe up and ask that I was at the Whitley Bay FC talk in May 2011 and you had to write your questions and they picked the best ones...so i'm not too hopeful mind It's a fair question so i don't see why not... Good luck... Any chance of reposting the events of evening when you return tonight?...

From 7, but not sure there are many/any tickets left. Cheers, is it not on the radio anywhere? No

Anyone who likes a bit of on-air aggro might want to try and find the Rob Beasley interview on TalkSport today during the H&J show... Between 1:15-30pm approx... Gets very heated...

He won't say out about transfers like. What time is it on? He's been very candid in previous talk-ins so if someone was to push him on the Debuchy issue I believe he will shed more light on it than previously...

Ardilles wore number 1 in the 1982 world cup...

Anyone going to the AP & JC talk-in tonight?... Hopefully we'll get a better idea where we're at with transfers and playing style etc...

Sweet...

Oh wow. Didn't see that coming - didn't realize he was ill. Can't share that with anyone over here either. RIP indeed. Sadly not been well for last 12-18month... Very sad indeed...

Sid Waddell... R.I.P.

I mentioned the exact same thing in this thread when the teams were announced... I think they could be on a different fitness program due to them fasting until 19th Aug... But Cheik is on Ramadan as well and he's been playing though Is he? I didn't realise... Anyway i'm not totally convinced myself thats the reason for the non-appearances was just putting it out there as a possibility...

Bloody americans and their title switcharoo's. Adventure's in babysitting was called something else as well, was big in the 80's to mess with s***. I remember seeing it when it first came out... A Night On The Town

Maybe it does when you think about it... (Hopefully not though)

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't they all fasting?... Maybe (it's a long shot i know) the club feel they need to take a different approach to their pre-season preparations...

I agree... Wouldn't be surprise to get him and Anita in...

I wonder if we are waiting to see if we qualify for the Europa group stages before pushing ahead with all our signings... Crazy to think but wouldn't be totally surprising if it was having some baring on our transfer window...

What has this got to do with Debuchy? the line of thinking is that he was supposed to be going to chelsea, now chelsea will get debuchy. I've a feeling Chelsea have set their sights on the Marseille full back...

But we can do all that and keep a lower profile... Chairman/Owners hate having their faces rubbed in it... You only have to listen to the interview with the Peterbrough owner the other day talking about transfer deals and all the egos involved...

I don't think we deliberately went for higher profile for our scouts etc. If you have this much success, you will become well known. You're right though, the fact we are now famous for getting a bargain is bound to count against us. So why let your chief scout do interviews for the media? Or your team manager to discuss it in length in the media... I don't have any knowledge of this going on at any other club... apart from Daniel Levy likes to drive a hard bargain perhaps... Just all seemed very unnecessary and a little self-congratuatly...

Can i just say i would be fine with this as long as Saylor can stay fit till January and Ivory Coast beat Senegal in the AFCON qualifier. It's far from ideal, but i would be ok with it as long we do get the rest of the targets in January. It seems quite clear Debuchy is our main target and to a lesser extent (maybe due to how well Bigi has done) Anita is our next target alongside Douglas... But as for a forward i'm struggling to think who they have in mind with them missing out on LDJ... Only links of any credibility have been Carroll (which to me doesn't seem a good fit) and Loic Remy... Although the window has been frustrating it's made the last few weeks very intriguing and i think will be very telling of MA ambitions with the club...

Let the games begin... I guess we'll learn more if he plays in their opening game of the season this Saturday...

Some good posts all round... But I go back to what I said earlier in the summer... The amount of publicity our scouting system was getting with AP and Carr giving the interviews and every Radio/TV pundit actually knowing our scouts name etc was in my opinion always going to have repercussions when it came to future transfers windows... We should of kept a much lower profile and just got on with business... It's only clever finding these players if they actually end up playing for us... FWIW i think/hope we'll get Debuchy and possibly Anita last few weeks of the window and maybe forward for the bench in January... Douglas may come in January but have feeling we'll look again next summer...
