peanuts that initial fee. scandalous.

If we were serious about signing Grenier we could get him. Lyon need the money apparently. This 'difficult in January' stuff may be true to a degree other clubs are proving it that you can get the players if you work hard enough.

A truly baffling statement.

I would honestly just move Sissoko (his natural position) central and start Ben Arfa where he was. It could get pretty dire to watch at times but this is the scenario we're left with now when its extremely unlikely we'll get no one in. HBA does have that magic so he needs to play now.

At the start of this window we needed a striker and some more creativity. That was before the Cabaye sale. We're now significantly weaker without even touching on the other issues. I'm dead against slotting another DM in there when the spark in our side was on short supply anyway.

Are we really ready to change system under Pardew though? Just keep it as it is with a player in the same mould as Cabaye. Not pissing about with more formations when most of our first XI were finally starting to settle down.

Dont think Sherwood is that keen on him, but he's not the answer to replace Cabaye. He's much more defensive minded.

I would like to see us try for someone like Lallana but that is never going to happen clearly. Will be a panicky bid for Sean Davis or something.

Ryder ever pushing the boundaries of sports journalism.

Nocerino and Boriello to west ham on loan. Not sure what to make of them signings tbh.

so true, utter f***ing waste of time haha, everytime I read local journo's tweets.

For sure, and thats how far we've sunk (no offence to either of those players). Kinnear may be part of this 'delegation', but it's Ashley that has our transfers or lack of them under his total control, and JFK is part of the lies.

We could sign players regardless of Kinnear. If we really wanted to bring players in and Kinnear was finding it tough then Charnley or Ashley would step in. Ashley was rumoured to have carried out the transfers of all last January, and the players were here in a crack. Joe Kinnear was never brought to club to run transfers, that was a flat out lie imo just to give him a title. We only signed Anita and Bigi when Llambias was here the summer after we got 5th, the same problems and frustrations we have now were present when JFK wasnt around.

Used to think his videos were canny good when they were once every few weeks. He does them hourly now, did one the other day about dating ffs.

Ah, didnt realise, thought he meant any.

What a daft post.

You'd think, but you never know in football. They are 90 / 120 minutes from achieving something we can only ever dream of.

Petty but the build up to this now will be unbearable.

Man U are embarrassingly bad. Think Mata would rather join the mackems.

They don't though really.

I think he means there is little to no moderate drinking in Newcastle. He's got a point tbf

What does that even mean?

If it were up to me i'd axe Welbeck and stick Rooney up front, allowing Januzaj and Mata if he goes to provide the ammo. That's a ton of goals there, not to mention RVP returning. The teams above Man U have options all over their attack, stuffed with forward thinking players. It provides competition aswell as giving you endless options. Man Utd as it stands have if we're being generous 3, and 2 are always injured. Ozil like mentioned before is a perfect example of this.

Man Utd are crying out for someone like Mata's creativity come on. Januzaj is a kid and Kagawa barely plays. Didnt Mata start out as a winger?

He reminds me of Ben Arfa more than anyone, in terms of how far he could go and how he tries to do everything himself.
