He'll carve out a decent career for himself, he just needs that top level experience but we preferred to persist with a want away Coloccini. Maybe it would have been different for M'Biwa here if we had sold Colo. Stupid. Shame to see him go.

It's probably the most effective way of selling the club and that's fucking sad in itself. The club would talk for itself if we had any ambition.

Southampton had the advantage in this race as they have sold their best players to be able to fund thi-- OH WAIT!!!

Change of location, new competition, new teammates, new contract.. Plenty reasons.

Will probably get the same amount of time on the pitch at Chelsea this season. Going forward though, Chelsea could sign another big name striker next season, whereas Arsenal would be more likely to stick with Remy like they have with Giroud. Bad move for Remy.

I think we'll see HBA in the squad before the end of September.

:lol: A citation will never be found.

I think Pardew will start Gouffran next game, but this lad deserves a chance from the start.

Early days, not going to judge him yet.

Nah, I'm staying in Newcastle bro.

It's stupid that our bid was to take him on loan again. Why on earth would either player or club agree to that?

Training in Argentina on his lonesome.

2-0 home win. Rivière with both.

Pardew and Colback have just finished filming their ice bucket challenges. Will be on shortly, should be fun.

I don't know why he couldn't approach the question like "I understand the link but there was no offer, and I'm fully focused on NUFC and continuing what I've destroyed here."

I don't expect wins under Pardew. Under a decent manager, I'd look at Villa away as a winnable game that I'd expect more than a point from. No disrespect to Brummie.

SSN reporting that Valencia have also bid for Cleverley.

Do you have a link to the article?

Wolves have agreed to terminate the remaining two years of Jamie O'Hara's contract.

Name the 10 players from the Eredivisie then. Purely out of interest as to how you can derive any relevance to the England team.

I think the FA are only sticking with Hodgson because the other options are so limited. He had a decent Euro 2012, he'll do for the 2016 tournament. That'll be their mindset. To be fair, we could have Guardiola or Mourinho and still underwhelm.

My bad, thought it was 2 friendlies.

"International quality" is a term that gets thrown around a lot, but watching the World Cup, which of our players were of this fabled international quality? For years now, fans have been calling for the England manager to select inexperienced players for friendlies, so when the World Cup or Euros come around, we're not throwing players into the deep end and they have some rapport with the mainstays of the squad. Fair play to Hodgson for his selection. Let's bear in mind, it's a squad announced for friendly competition. Cattermole would be nowhere near my squad as his attitude is appalling and he continues to have moments of madness.

Whoa oh-oh it's Colback, you know... Never believe it's not Scholes
