Mowen Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Only realised that Dabo has signed for Lazio! How convenient that the victim of the trial has slipped out of the country, anyone betting that he won't turn up for the trial? That's the deal, we loan you Rozy for nowt, but you get Dabo to drop the charges and leave the Country and never come back. So what do they get out of it?

A free loan of a player, at that level loans usually cost a fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliassenfredrik Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Meh, I'm just going to wait for the new FM update to come out. No doubt the editor will give us a sh*tload to spend and we can all take out our frustration on that. When is the 8.0.2 release? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Jerusalem Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Fucking ambition! My arse! Don't even know how to do 1 sodding transfer No wonder people laugh at us, fucking pathetic club tbh We dont know how to tie up a transfer more like, ala Kalouda, it just bemuses me how a team who wants a certain player cannot give themselves enough time for negotiating with his club and then to complete the deal, sounds like the new regime is off to a bad start They've got about 12 weeks to tie up the all the siginings we'll need to create the ultra-exciting new soopa team next year. Wonder what the odds are on Nicky Butt being in the starting 11 for the first game next season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LucaAltieri Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Gilberto signs for Spurs, Gardner on loan to Everton. Failed his medical but signed him anyway... it'll all end in tears (and fits of laughter from me). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Gilberto signs for Spurs, Gardner on loan to Everton. Failed his medical but signed him anyway... it'll all end in tears (and fits of laughter from me). Don't think he actually failed the medical, or if he did then Spurs have got him cheaper. For once the Spurs ITK's got this one right, as MJ was on here much earlier today saying the deal would still go through but at a reduced price. They had Hertha by the short and curlies apparently.

Dragon55544 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 What cant people understand? KK has had 2 weeks and they are expecting him to work miricles in the transfer window. It seems to me that people just wanted us to sign anyone. KK has money to spend but getting clubs to sell their top players half way throu a season aint easy also getting a player to join us when all we have left is to play for is pride is very hard.

Like people have said though, we could have probably had Barnes/Kalouda if we'd gone for it a bit more, Woodgate might have even been viable if we'd been quicker off the mark. I think people would have been pretty satisfied with those three coming in, personally, and there'd be a lot more optimism around the place. I think that's what has frustrated people more than anything, the fact that we probably could have got players that we were definitely in for. Being an eternal optimist, I'm not giving up the ghost just yet, because this place is in dire need of a boost again... it's all a smokescreen...

Yea but you dont know for a fact that those players would of came here, Who said it has been Newcastle's fault? Perhaps Derby were asking for to much and didnt KK say the Woodgate deal was 90% by the time Newcastle had a chance to put a bid in. It seems like people are making up senario's in their heads and then believing them, then coming on here and ripping into Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Giles Barnes was a strange one. If he wasn't worth £3m he wasn't worth bidding for in the first place. I'm starting to wonder whether we didn't follow through because Derby made our verbal bid public knowledge in order to hike the price up by starting an auction.

oldtype Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Would be a decent idea to pop a small bid for Lee now that Spurs have Gilberto... Could get an experienced left back for next to nowt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Not all hope is lost. 2212: "A friend at Leeds United has just confirmed to me that Jermaine Beckford is heading to Newcastle in a £2m deal. Not a huge surprise following Dennis Wise. But a huge loss to Leeds." Neil, London, via text Better than the last ex-Leeds striker we signed I guess.

brummie Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 What I don't understand is why you bothered to go for Barnes at all with such a piss low offer, when nobody in their right mind thought they'd accept it, but knowing that it wouldn't take a whole lot more to get him, then say you wouldn't be back. It looks a bit like an attempt to play hardball blowing up in your face. Still, you're not alone, we've had a fucking rubbish window, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are talking shite as always, aye, but others are voicing valid concerns. It's unfair to lump everyone into the same bracket. It's difficult without knowing all of the facts, as always, but you have to admit that a lot of our activity in the window has left a lot of people underwhelmed for genuine reasons. 91 minutes left for something magical to happen...
