fredbob Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Very excited by the M'Bia news, he certainly didnt rule it out unless there are other offers on the table for him. Also very impressive news about the youngsters coming on board. I'm sure Jose is bluffing, theres money to spend, he's just being 'clever' with it. God I wish I lived in your world. Is it full of cute kittens and fluffy clouds. Everyones on the inside track except me it seems. £10m would be a significant investment for a Jan window for this club.

colinmk Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Kinnear: Kinnear slams KK and Big Sam Newcastle manager Joe Kinnear has hit out at his predecessors Sam Allardyce and Kevin Keegan. The Magpies boss saw his side slip to a 3-0 defeat at Blackburn on Saturday, ironically now managed by Allardyce. Kinnear took charge in September when Keegan left the club after a dispute with owner Mike Ashley. But the Irishman insists he should not be judged on the current squad, as he is not responsible for assembling it. "I've inherited this," he said in the Sunday Mirror. "They are not my players, everybody has forgotten that. "But our biggest problem is a lack of strength in depth. Why wasn't it addressed by the last manager Keegan or the manager before him Allardyce? "I am carrying the can for it. It is as simple as that. "People think things will turn out okay whatever happens, but I don't believe they will. We must do something about it. "The squad has to be strengthened, there are no ifs and buts about it. I have expressed it to (owner) Mike Ashley and he is very open about it. Funds "People have said that previous managers maybe didn't get what they want. I don't believe that will happen to me. I haven't got any reason to think he won't go my way. "I have probably spent more time spelling it out to him than any other manager. "I see him regularly and talk to him regularly. I have spelled out the gravity of the situation. "I say, 'we're not prepared for anything like the disaster we face and you've got to realise the importance of that'. "I want to be judged on what I bring in, the depth of the first-team squad is not right at the moment. "What I inherited was potentially a relegation squad. With the injuries, once they came, we were in deep trouble. "We must look to stay up this season and have a big clear-out in the summer and address everything completely differently. "We need to get the squad back in shape and make sure we have appropriate cover in every position. We need to take a leaf out of the book of the other top clubs. "They don't seem to have a problem like we do." Why is that the title? He isn't slamming them at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 He hasn't spent anything yet, so the money is still in his post office account!

It's a pity Leeds had a clause in his contract which gave them 50% of the profit above the £5 million we paid to them for him. Also, Schwiensteiger was supposedly on his way and where did the Colo money come from? Theres about £3m missing from the Milner transfer, if that.
