Tiotes Witch Doctor

Pretty embarrasing this, friendly or not it doesn't put anyone in good fettle for the Spurs game and gives the mackems something to cling onto aswell. Hearing Simpson has been absolutely abysmal, standard.

I remember when it went in, the whole bar went mental and everyone was hugging, clapping etc... and I was just sat down still, rooted to my seat in sheer disbelief, by the time I snapped out of my trance most of the celebrations were over.

Really hope Marveaux can stay mostly injury free this season, I always forget how highly rated he was when we signed him.

I disagree, he is what? 31? I would have liked to have made the most of my ability in a sport I am good at. He wasn't exactly trying to make up for all those years of meagre earnings. He is just a greedy c***, could have made a hell of a lot money playing at a club where he was the top dog and giving his all rather than being a heartless, gutless, greedy little w*****.

I'm guessing it must be Pardew/Carr who have at least a sizeable input in the maximum offers though, surely? I can't see Dez or Mike sitting and figuring out each player's market value. Yeah I would imagine they would probably have a small input but, when it comes to negotiating the actual fee's whether it be opening bid or final bid, Pardew has absolutely no input whatsoever, the downside could be argued that he never really knows what to expect and whether his squad will be strengthened until the final day of the window. Which is why he chooses his words more carefully in interviews now. I get the impression that the board are hoping we will all be that happy that we haven't lost anyone so much that we won't cause any bother if we don't bring anyone else in aswell.

We've missed out on a major coup here, the worst thing is Pardew probably knows this aswell, but cannot do a thing about it. Would be much better if Pards was given a set budget and just went after his targets with the help of Carr. Like in the good old days

I just can't put into words how disappointed I would be if Simpson is in the lineup come the Spurs game sort of conveys it a bit.

Just been for a night out, thought I'd check this thread out, because guaranteed day or night its still near enough top of the pile Hes not coming man! :'(

Think Vuckic is shite myself, never understood the hype around him.

Its hardly a coincidence that offers for Douglas, Debuchy and De Jong have all been described as derisory at one time or another. Teams have pegged on to what we're trying to do, I.e, bring in quality players on the cheap and therefore to avoid being made a mug of are raising the price.... only in this instance the price they were holding out for was allegedly only about a million more, why not just pay the fucker, bring in a quality fullback and get 2-3 million for Simpson to make up for any extra paid. I simply can't understand this, there's playing hardball and then there's just being plain naive and stupid. Theres no way we can get a RB as good as Debuchy for under the 8 million euros they apparently want, therefore we will end up with Simpson IMO. And hes fucking shit, don't care what any opta stat's or fanboys say.

Missed out on arguably one of the best right backs in Europe right now over a million or euros, what an absolute clanger. Stuck for another season with that cunt Simpson at RB I would expect. Cant grumble too much the way things were last season etc.... but we've really missed a trick here. Full international right back... French... desperate to join... and we still miss out. Ridiculous.

Makes me feel like smashing things to pieces this bloody transfer saga, but I'm not a mackem so I probably wont.

I'm going to back West Ham to be the next team to go into administration.

Journal obviously know fuck all and are just keeping the story going to sell their fucking shit paper.

Bantston Pickle.

They've f***ed their headline up a bit Cutting edge journalism.

God I hate nufcfans.

Theres still a good chance he won't sign.

Adam & the bants

He was seeing my step sister for a bit, she reckons he was an arrogant twat and a bit stuck up. Women

I'm sure he said something similar months ago, the tease.

This is really beginning to upset me now. Just started my 2 weeks off work aswell so instead of getting out and about making the most of it and packing to move into my new flat I'll be on this forum all day and bastarding night. Not that I don't enjoy the musings of all you fine folks though.
