Personally I think it will affect us a great deal. All gettable good managers have already found clubs, only Heynckes remains available. Now, I'd if Klopp came, but that's not going to happen. Still, genuinely worried for Tito. That's too many relapses for a cancer Heynckes would be a damn fine choice even if it is a short-term measure. He seems pretty open to managing again so there's a good chance Barca can tempt him out. What you said about Tito, that's truly worrying.

Gomis Gourcuff Grenier Benzia Gonalons Mvuemba Dabo Umtiti Kone Fofana Lopes They played this vs PSG at home. From the rest of the reports I've seen so far, Gomis plays as the lone striker in the same system.

OL plays 433 with Gomis up front don't they?

Watch Ryder swoop onto this like a hawk. If it is right, I'm amazed it hasn't been peddled like him/the club already. Ryder is usually on the ball with academy stuff compared to the rest of life. We might just be making the numbers up though and the author is confused. Yeah, thought I read the review process is every 2 years. We have already fk up the few chances we had, I'll be surprised if Ashley is suddenly interested in the top category despite what had been peddled by the club.

If we sign him and play a 442 we seriously need to upgrade our wide options. Otherwise the lack of supply will be a recurrent issue.

Yup, refused to move insisting on his choice of club. Lyon had to sell Martial to Monaco to raise funds before a deadline. Apparently rejected Swansea.

Was he the one who refused to move, forcing the club to sell off one of their promising youngsters to Monaco/PSG?

Yup. No surprise there.

Aye, clicked on page one and was puzzled about 12m, new Drogba (although tbf Drogba did start late). Then I saw Keegan and realised it. Since 2008. 5 years to finally start something concrete.

JFK rears his influence. (Non-serious post in case someone shows up with their claws.)

Think so too.

Wrong thread, marra.

Personally wouldn't mind if the FA had the same approach last season.

Prob got p*ssed with the extended ban on appeal. Just read that he officially left after completing the Cavani transfer. Edit: FFF not letting up, asking FIFA to enforce the ban worldwide ffs.

Leonardo isn't their director of football anymore after getting an 8 month ban for pushing a linesman He is until the end of the transfer window. Ban got extended to 13 months btw.

We really ain't in a position to make fun of that.

Moments of magicTM.

Go bid Thiago Silva's buyout clause*. *most likely to be obscene.

Tbf I think that article is rehashing old news so hold off the razor blades. Still maintain that negotiations on a contract extension should be a priority and be done soon. Even if the lad loves Newcastle, I wouldn't want to take any risks.

Wasn't there stories the other weeks about us and him being keen to extend his contract? Were there? I genuinely do not know.

PSG agrees €35m Marquinhos fee with Roma.

2 more years on his contract and you would think it's a good time to start talking about an extension rather than waiting til he has a year left. More so for a player who is apparently in demand. Will absolutely hate it if this becomes Enrique mkII.

For the benefit of Disco who absolutely loves SDN.
