Varadi

Subs: Darlow, Bigirimana, Ferguson, Lascelles, Mbemba, Aarons, Abeid, de Jong, Gouffran, Kemen, Mitrović, Perez.

Only in this thread as far as I can see.

I think wages will be an issue - we won't want our highest paid player sitting on the bench.

Does make sense that another CB is coming in, reckon Colo will be allowed to leave if we get it done.

Training with Velez Sarsfield: http://www.ole.com.ar/velez/jonas-gutierrez-velez_0_1401460097.html

Captain Jack always an option too.

Could just be that he's mates with the lad whose testimonial it was.

If they're offering anywhere near the 6 million mentioned in the Mirror article it's an absolute no-brainer.

If it's a visa issue there's almost certainly nothing happening until Monday morning at the earliest.

He seems like a generally miserable bastard

If 18 million is the first bid we'll hold out for at least 25. I like Sissoko but that's crazy money.

Villa going for Rolan: http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/593173/Aston-Villa-Newcastle-Christian-Benteke-Liverpool-Diego-Rolan-Transfer-News-Gossip

Going back a little while but I think Desailly is a shade under 6'

Sissoko first half, then: http://i.imgur.com/pdGs1ce.png

Some hilarious joker has updated his DOB on wiki to 1925: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chancel_Mbemba_Mangulu

Hatem just doesn't give a single solitary fuck any more.

There's Marveaux as well, we might have a manager who can figure out how to use him.

Been trying to avoid this thread as it's just so depressing, even the rumours have dried up ffs. From earlier stories looks like our priority targets for the window included these lot: Austin Dost Mitrovic Thauvin Matip Abdennour How many do people think we'll land? I'm going to go ahead and guess zero.

Pictures of both of the new lads in training: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3148769/Newcastle-United-smiles-pre-season-training-club-start-making-signings.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490 Lascelles looks like a bit of a unit, could be the physical presence we've been lacking at the back for a long time.

Can we still sing his song if he comes back? Might have cause to doubt the sincerity this time mind.

Never heard of him, so did a quick wiki check which reveals that: Sounds perfect. Edit: Twat

Is there maybe a correlation between the length of time someone had the season ticket and how long it is being held for?

Obviously doesn't offer as much coming forward as Haidara but is much more solid and disciplined defensively, very rarely see him beaten 1 on 1.
