We're happy.

He missed a fair few in his last season at Lille but besides Shola, I don't see any other notable penalty takers other than Cabaye and Ben Arfa.

PEA has been in amazing scoring form since the transfer window closed. Love to have him here. He'll be a good fit into our current system.

Do you think he's a significant upgrade on Goufran? More an improvement on Obertan, Marveaux and Jonas. Rated higher than Gouffran I'd say, but Gouffran has been immense in his first 4 games here. So too early to tell. Will also allow Gouffran to play in a central role if needed. It's FC Twente we're talking about though. Never easy negotiating with their chairman.

Will be more than reasonable if he still needs some time to get up to speed. I think people are just hopeful of an earlier appearance after he came in clearly the fittest of our lot at the start of the season despite having not much training/ pre-season.

Was he ever a designated penalty taker? Can't see him taking one when we have Cabaye on the pitch.

Does that mean Jonas not starting? Like it that we have leaders on the pitch - Cabaye, Yanga-Mbiwa, Debuchy who have at some stage captained their previous clubs. Even Sissoko seems like a potential captain-type. Pre-January, leadership was limited on the pitch with the injuries and a distracted club captain.

Look how skinny he is there man. Who was the manager that saw and proceeded to mould a target man out of that?

That's a max of 6 games he can play in. Hopefully he fares well and extends his loan til end of season.

Nice kit LA Galaxy.

Doing very well it seems. The fans love him.

They should do one for Nigel de Jong in the same posture.

What happened to Pardew's head?

If we can get a full season out of our first XI...

Does NUFC have difficulty selling season tickets? Notts Co had something similar for their 150th anniversary. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FosBN4kmUDM/T4MRgUiHhYI/AAAAAAAAAMw/E5TjhWZp6qo/s1600/notts-county-150-th-years-football-shirt.jpg

Imagine Delap or Shotton doing that. 'Boro v Newcastle 1990-91 Steve Watson flip / somersault throw-in' on YouTube. Wow he was 16 then! He did it at Beardsley's testimonial too The funny thing was that somersault throw didn't even reach further than regular ones. After which he proceeded with 2 normal throws.

From wiki: Imagine Delap or Shotton doing that. 'Boro v Newcastle 1990-91 Steve Watson flip / somersault throw-in' on YouTube.

He'll most likely go this summer since his contract ends summer 2014 and I can't see him extending that even if the club offers to. There's too much competition in front of him and he knows he hasn't impressed one bit.

McClaren and most other managers won't be able to work with Ashley/Llambias anyway. That's the main advantage Pardew has in his job - others will find it hard to communicate with and get something out of those two.

Didn't the porn magnates indicate they didn't want Barton last summer?
