A disgrace! How very f***ing dare we sound out a player. We're a disgrace for not having a striker yet. And now we've seemingly given up on the latest target. Howay man.

How hard is it so understand that he writes what he gets told? The situation changes from day to day apparently, but no reason for shooting the messenger like. Everyone should know how it works by now, and stop whinging about "he knows nowt". Who's whinging? I'm just saying, he's clearly just writing whatever his various sources tell him, therefore he knows about as much as the rest of us (because his sources clearly don't know what's going on either). I guess you could say Pardew knows nowt because Ashley does his thing, but I'd say that's something to go off by. I'm just sick and tired of the same f***ing line every time. Everyone's aware that Newcastle and Ashley not really does their business straight forward. Eh, what? I'm talking about Mark Douglas, not Pardew. I'm just saying, in my opinion, Mark Douglas writes what his sources tell him. His sources aren't Pardew, Ashley and Llambias (he's said as much himself recently). And his sources have been proven wrong more times than right this transfer window. That's all I'm saying. Of course he writes what his sources tell him. For f***s sake, that's what journalists do. They are not the absolute truth, everyone knows that, especially since things change. The info we get though, is (more often than not) more than we know. You are wrong btw. He has many times stated getting info from Pardew.

"On Ranger He's never met anyone so misplaced in his own belief in his ability. Said to watch him and see how many times he controls the ball with his studs, reckons top players will never do that. He can bully the resrves with his strength but any decent defender will be too clever for him. He has the wrong attitude, doesn't watch any football, has no idea who Peter Beardsley was as a player! He asked him who his favourite player was and he told Beardsley it was Andy Cole, Beardsley said he had never heard of him! He was going mad trying to explain to him that he must have heard of him as he was Newcastle no 9 once! Had no idea he had played alongside him! Says if you watch him when he loses the ball, he sulks for 10 seconds before trying to chase it down, too late by then, the ball is gone." Sad to hear. Although I can't remember him doing that last point from Beardsley here. "On Ferguson They are looking at him as a left back rather than a winger as he isn't strong enough and doesn't like taking the ball with his back to goal, prefers coming onto the ball which suits being a left back better." Can't really understand the argument of him not being strong enough to be a winger, but strong enough to be a left back. And surely if he doesn't like taking the ball with his back to goal, he shouldn't be any where near our goal? Weird. Seen him play though, so wouldn't have any major worries with him playing left back, but odd arguments.

Well that have to be hard for Maiga to swallow. PS: We're a disgrace.

A £25m bid from Arsenal, and he's off.

Your stream is really slow. Did you really miss the derby, Colocho?

Bellamy is a proper fucking cunt. No thanks.

The f*** is that? I loved Nolan, but f***ing hell. Basically everything he says... c***.

He is always going to say that tbh. Either because he plays hard, or because he really mean it.

They didn't come to an agreement actually. Brest was adamant that they should pay up the money in his clause (€8m). Schalke offered €6, but was rebuffed. Done some checking and it turns out he really is French through and through. Refused to train with his team for some time re: interest from Schalke. Edit: Actually, re: coming to an agreement with Schalke regarding personal terms.

You reckon two pacey players on top together then? And why rid of Best? A squad is alright like. I'd keep Best, but doubt we have space for both. Ameobi new deal, Ba new player and were still looking for a pacy striker to add to that. Roux has pace, but not the kind we need, saying that bar Ba easily the fastest useful striker on the books. His movement is ace, as well as his positioning, really looks clever with his feet, and good technically, would he open up defences enough? Think brute pace and strength would do a better job, more effective in this league, a lot rides on this striker we need, not sure he's ready for the step up, constant games and being a top goalscorer we need. Decent post. Will be fun to see how he does in Ligue 1 if he stays fit and given a good run. I actually think he could do quite well already though (in the Prem). He's really different from everyone we currently have on our books. Think he would add another aspect to our game. Nice to see that we're aware and somewhat interested in any case.

We need a striker. End of.

Nolan Roux. Young, pacey striker, with a hell of a shot to him. Has one u21 game for France. Not been scoring for fun like, but he's quality.

Douglas - Maiga chase has become complicated because of Sochaux prez comments, it seems. Nothing close! Wow.

Random - we need 2 LB's sign em both! Neither will be a NUFC player come 01/09/11.... Douglas - I'd love to say you're being overly cynical...

MsiDouglas Mark Douglas @ @Conradmataz Roux is on the NUFC radar... But too early for him this summer. Boo.

Still £7m though, cant grumble at that, its a fair amount for a left back. Yes, and? Still think we should pay up for Cissokho, but never complained about Pieters.

It's me - realist. Douglas said we basically favour the cheaper.

Random - we'll favour whoever's cheaper. Douglas - Spot on Tom. They just won't go over £7m, it seems Pieters.

It's Pieters.

Tend to agree, unless we could opt to buy him when the loan ends. PvanAanholt_ Patrick van aanholt @ @dannysimpson12 I'm gd man waiting to go on loan homie... They sleep alot during the day .. I remember my sisters daughter the same...

PvanAanholt_ Patrick van aanholt @dannysimpson12 what's happening over there playa.. Is the baby letting u sleep at night? Catching up a bit are we.
