That heavy first touch from the Timbers player.

What's with Altanta's nick "The Five Stripes"? So they can't ever have a 7 stripes variant of their jersey? Or pinstripes?

He is. Which is why the player is coming on an initial loan and the transfer fee will be paid by the new owners.

2 loans from prem clubs i thought? Or is it English clubs? 2 domestic loans for PL clubs.

Optimistic, especially with the recent wins.

Irony of supporters who don't like being told what to do are without complaint nor action, actively enriching the owner's pocket, someone who doesn't care about the club's history nor future. We must be the easiest customers and source of revenue he ever has.

I mean, it's regrettable that we lost one of our best talents. However, youth recruitment has been neglected with no effort made on improving the academy even in the Shepherd era. The only breakthroughs in more recent years have been Ameobi, Carroll and Dummett. Promising prospect Woodman didn't get much game time. And your older brother didn't break into NUFC's first team either. Then you have those spanking new facilities that other clubs built. Had we focused on improving the club, including the academy, things might have been very different.

Don't understand the hate for the lad. Our academy has been poor for the longest time and the club is clearly not interested in providing the best resources to develop the youngsters. Any player with a sense of ambition would leave for a more established academy, especially one with a track record of bringing through youth players.

Can't wait for David Squires.

Alcacer with one league goal every 29.5 mins. Joint top-scorer with Plea with 8 goals.

New stadium over original site.

Well, you did say "as if any player" so you were given one.

Fowler.

It's pointless comparing different industries like. In any case, it's human nature to seek the best deal you can get, be it the average man or a top footballer. That's why you have contract negotiations, especially with oil-rich owners, that you test the waters to see how far you can go. And I couldn't care less about saving money for rich Middle East countries.

Doubt the likes of Fergie, Mourinho, Guardiola can even achieve that rate with sub-10m signings these days.

Can't someone get him heated boots? Or try the Tiote's treatment of raw steaks in boots?

It's in the manager's hand whether he reaches the necessary number of appearances for a contract extension, Lee.

why? whats going to force him out? Exactly. He will last for decades to come as it stands.

Displaying it upside down would give the best visual impact. He might not even know if we just bin it. Burning it in the stadium is obviously out of the question.

He's been offended by protests outside the Italian restaurant (V sign) and now with this vocal fan (knock ya out). If only 50k people in the stadium could understand that and make him feel absolutely uncomfortable. Hope there's ricin in that handshake.

Still waiting to find out where the Carroll, Cabaye, Sissoko, Mitrovic monies went to.

Just when you thought we have a skipper who knows what the club is about...

At least that's consistent with the joint statement released by the club earlier in the season.

He didn't have to say he's a nice guy either.

Really, one more year on his contract means nothing. He will be sold once a big-money offer comes in to ever reach 6 more years with us.
