toontownman Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 The swap deal is off! http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/article2111424.ece Ie. We made the whole thing up, but lets save some face. Bloody typical though, we will probably sell Barton and Geremi and have Smith and Ferguson "marshalling" the midfield.

KaKa Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 A part of me can't help but want to see all these players sold just to see who is brought in then, as surely if the likes of Barton are sold then surely players will be coming in. Maybe when Ashley re-committed to the club he meant he would go aboiut doing exactly what he intended to do over the summer and transform the team into one with up and coming youngsters. I am currently fascinated with what is going on. Just hoping it doesn't end in tears. At least if it ends up with Kinnear having to be replaced no one will be crying about it. Poyet is also available for nowt now by the way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrette Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I am currently fascinated with what is going on. Just hoping it doesn't end in tears. I wouldn't say I'm "fascinated", I'd go along with "trembling with nerves" and "expecting the worst". We're not even being involved in rumours with players I'd like to see here.

Decky Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I dont give a fuck tbh, whats the point. If i hope we do well in this window, the likely hood is we sign fuck all and my hero Shay Given leaves us and im devastated. So fuck it, im just looking at the games at the moment.

toontownman Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Poyet is also available for nowt now by the way Its only a matter of time, if we manage to pull off a couple of decent signings this window and ashley gets a few fans back on side Poyet might just sneak unto the coaching staff. We need a couple of coaches anyway, madness we havent got anyone in already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing fascinating, anyway. Not fascinated in the sense that I'm excited by anything. More like I just can't even begin to imagine what could be going on behind the scenes and I am really looking forward to seeing what state we will be in come the 2nd of Feb. Finally we will know for sure what to make of Mr. Ashley and his pals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I think we are just a ticking time bomb tbh, and im not sure if it will have anything to do with Ashley as far as January is concerned. The money might be there, but who would come here both under Joe Kinnear and in this state? Seems we are destined for doom and 2nd February might just be the date its drilled into the brains of those who currently doubt it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, next year if we lose Given. Hardly think we're destined for relegation for goodness sake. Villa looked like they were destined to be a big club to face relegated only a few years ago. Football isn't static. Players change, managers change, etc. For all we know in five years, Newcastle could be preparing for their next Premier league fixture at Ibrox against Rangers or at the Vicente Calderon against Atletico fro our next Europe second divison fixture.

I really thought it was the end of that after we drew at Old Trafford on the first day of the season. Unfortunately, events since then have systematically crushed any sense of hope out of my bones.

Things can easily go either way. It wont take much to see us rocket back up the league to somewhere respectable. A decent manager in the summer could see our better players stay with some quality additions we would be back on track. Of course it could go the other way, considering the way results have conspired against us when we have picked up points, a couple of losses and we are back in the shit and panic sets in. More than likely it will sit somewhere in the middle with us finishing just below midtable, Kinnear staying on, most of the better players leaving but some decent investment over the summer with a moderately improved finish the year after. Slow progress. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swissmag Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 He had a good start to the season with Boro, I'd like to see him here although I do think Smith should be given a chance up front in front of Ameobi and Caroll WTF? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still operating under the hope that the lack of rumours is because of the way that Ashley and Wise did business in the January window. Our best signings came out of the blue. It's possible that they're going to find us a couple more Bassongs and Jonases. Of course, it's also possible they'll find us a couple more Nachos and Xiscos. But we'll have to wait and see is all.
