lovejoy Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Just heard from a friend of a friend who works at the airport, 2 hours ago, he saw a tall, very dark skinned black bloke with two other guys in suits. Possibly Atouba? fuck me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE5 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Jason Roberts is NE5's favourite player. FACT! He's gone off him now and moved on to Ricardo Fuller. just trying to understand people like you with lower standards, and soopa Mikes lack of ambition !!! So I've got lower expectations even though you're the one wanting to sign Ricardo Fuller? No. I'd rather sign Berbatov, but we're a poor little club with no money and need to understand Mike knows what he's doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.S.R. Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Kris Boyd *winks* god no He's got an impressive goals/games ratio, albeit in the Scottish League. His absence from the squad today is a little odd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novocastrian Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I don't think anyone of any note is coming in, which makes the selling of Milner even more galling to me. I certainly don't expect a WOW signing. I was stood outside the offy next door to the Drayton pub a the Emirates yesterday. Minding my own business scuppering a few green grenades when Mike Ashley and his entourage turned up. His bouncer was despatched to get the beers in and Mike was mobbed within seconds by fans asking about new signings. His exact words were "we are looking at 2 or 3, young lads about 22-24, foreigners, because the English market has been done." I'm not holding my breath, he may have something up his sleeve but I doubt it. It's going to be a long hard season....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elbee909 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I still think it's interesting to look at the transfers made in the first few years of Robson's tenure. But of course, the last board had far more ambition than this lot, so that's us told. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I've got lower expectations even though you're the one wanting to sign Ricardo Fuller? No. I'd rather sign Berbatov, but we're a poor little club with no money and need to understand Mike knows what he's doing. Serious question. Do you think there might be a case of "learn to walk before you run" here? Like we need to go out and buy players who will get us to places 6 - 10 on a regular basis before we go for a player like Berbatov? Of course the best would be if we could get Robinho, Diego and players like that and make a push for champions league but is that really possible right now? As far as I know Freddy and the last board did not put in their own cash to make signings instead they took out loans to sign Owen, Luque etc. Maybe the reality right now is that the clubs finances and its position makes it unwise or even impossible to go out and buy the kind of players who could get us to that level fast.

Anyone know the figures for the net spend in the first, second, third years of Robson's tenure? Bollocks was it ambitious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think of our signings so far (the cheap and expensive ones)? Do you think KK is lying through his teeth when he says that the decision to sell Milner was his? Do you believe Ashley when he says that KK's got full control of who goes/stays in the first team? Honestly, you just seem to pop up in negative threads or turn threads into negative ones. What were you saying a couple of weeks ago about Ashley wearing Coloccini's shirt when the signing hadn't been confirmed? What was that, I didn't hear you? Oh yes, he did sign. And what about the Gutierrez hold up that you and UV were complaining about? Oh, that turned out to be quite a big deal, didn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 It's only going to be a long hard season if you believe that we have a poor squad. I don't believe we have a poor squad, just a small one but it's not the smallest. Hopefully, we will have a couple more too add by tommorow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milner for 12m mackems.gif I'm confident that in about 40 hours, we'll all be much happier than we are now. And in two weeks' time, that's when it will actually matter. It's all well and good having a good team on paper but, as we know, that will mean fuck all when they're on the pitch. In this respect, I think we'll have a better season than last purely because we've got KK as manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
