They should have said a long time ago he won't be risked this season. His comeback has been put back so many bloody times it's become tedious.

Look at the Carroll 'transfer request'. That is the way he will be painted by journos like Lee Ryder who are as good as on the club's payroll. Not this again. I see you failed to anwser on the Carroll thread when asked about the clearly made up and fabricated stories by Carroll, plus the contradicting quotes attributed to him. "I don't want to leave, why would I want to leave" "When Liverpool come in for you, it's impossible to say no" oh and the fact he looked so devestated turning up for his medical. Change the record you boring bastad. It's clearly a bit of both, the club wanting top dollar for him and Carroll wanting top dollar himself. But just bury your head in the sand and peddle your s*** propoganda every time you get the chance mate. Succinct and accurate, you win this round.

jose not mentioned in that article, looks like he is on his way Because Lee Ryder doesn't mention him? I also think he's on his way, but that is a good point!

Fuck sake, I'm looking forward to seeing S.Taylor get raped by Cameron bloody Jerome

Not sure how old the kit launch video is, but he's in that, that could have been from the week before he went to France though I suppose.

Don't think he's going to be in the squad Saturday. Thought AP said HBA and Gosling had an outside chance of playing in the last two games...

I will be really disappointed if we sign Ireland. He can only play one position and we're not even always going to play a formation to suit him. When we do, we already have HBA or Nolan to play there (not a fan of Nolan playing off the striker mind). If we play 4-4-2, he can't play. Seems like a right waste of time and money if true.

I would say there are doubts about his attacking, his defending is superb, has lapses now and again, but I'm yet to see a winger take him to the cleaners this season. His pace and strength is ridiculous.

Ben Arfa looks like the only one who isn't drunk. Harpers trying to flag down the taxi ;D superb!

Funny that as the missus nephew Issac had trained with both, he's a big Sunderland fan, about 11 or 12 I think he is, his dad is a fanatic as well. Got offered a place at NUFC the other day and took it obviously. Both his mam and dad were more impressed by ours from the first day he went training with them, they might be totally wrong mind. Maybe he's bitter after being let go?

I quite like it, I usually whinge about the new kits for a while and then they grow on me, but although this one is a bit different, I think it looks smart. £50 from the online shop good luck with that. The keeper kit is bloody horrible

Jay Bothroyd and Seb Larsson. Not saying they're ideal, just pretty realistic and Ashley type signings, FREE.

You get told you aren't wanted. They chose the money over him. Are you totally ignoring the comments he made about, "when a club like Liverpool come in for you, you can't say no" He's gone now, he got stick, a bit much if I'm honest but he certainly deserved some. Do you genuinely think he's blameless in this, he looked gutted when he turned up for his medical and when he shook Dogleash's hand didn't he? He can't have the best of both worlds, it was clearly a bit of both, the club wanted to cash in for a silly amount of money, Carroll wanted silly wages. If the money is reinvested properly it's bloody good business, sadly I don't think it will be.

Marca also spout utter shite so wouldn't worry too much.

He has a French Bulldog called Monster, unless it's died, that was about 2 or 3 years ago.

Fuck me is this the SMB on Newcastle-Online? Knee jerk city on here.

I see Hatem's return date has been put back again, Pardew constantly gives false information! I preffered Hughton's approach.

Nice rack on the jailbait blonde in that pic!

That Metro was a right hell hole, they had wooden chairs out on the dancefloor like a school assembly! If I remember correctly there was a glam model contest on that night, judging by the standards of that place, I reckon there would have been some right roadkill on show Oh, it took fucking ages to queue for a piss as well.

Was at both of them, the Peterboro game was mental, health and safety would have had a field day if anything bad happened, the away end was crammed! When Joey's free kick went in I remember having to support the weight of some fat fucker to stop my little sister getting crushed

There is so many, was at Villa when we went down, Villa when we lost 4-1, WBA this season when we lost 3-1 and too many like that that to remember. Derby and Wigan under Allardyce are the worst though, I don't think we managed a shot on goal in 180 minutes of football, the tactics were useless, it was embarrassing and I was fucking livid after both.

Same as that, Everton away this season was a right laugh as well.

why ? Because we play plenty of long balls direct passes and Gamerio is hardly the tallest or biggest built is he? I'm not a french football expert, in fact I've rarely seen it since Setanta went bust, but I've seen KG on youtube and he hardly looks like he'd fit into the lone striker role for us. so we'd keep the same style of football with HBA and gameiro ? you are only thinking of the lone striker as the big target man, with the right support it can work, think beardsley/cole (HBA is the nearest i've seen to beardsley). it would mean, from the current personnel, jonas having to push further on and stop spending half the game on jose's toes,nolan would play as he does anyway and barton would have to come into the back area more when we have the ball on the other side. all of them would have to learn to move a bit to take advantage of HBA's drifting. It's a fair point and I would prefer us to play it on the deck a bit more, we're not exactly a Wimbeldon/Blackburn type team, but we do utilise the long diagonal and play for flick ons. Considering we have Shola and Carroll before him that's fair enough I suppose. However, signing Gamerio for a big fee and asking him to lead the line on his own, against seasonsed premier league centre backs is a massive ask and for the first season at least he would struggle IMO. Also, in games where we've got our backs to the wall and anywhere will do, I can't see the ball sticking too him after a 60 yard upfield clearance. I don't know much about the lad TBH, so I might be wide of the mark, but from the videos I've seen, I'm not sure I've seen him head the ball and he only looks about 5ft 8"/5ft 9" and a fairly slight build, great finisher though.
