thewellander 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. 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.

dcmk Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 If people are struggling to handle anti newcastle newspaper articles - is football really the sport for you? even if she does have an agenda. If i was a sports journalist i can see myself shelling out a few little digs towards sunderland. Its not a problem guys, i am pretty sure no one at newcastle united takes her seriously.

Dave 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 Still a fucking joke that someone is doing business without the manager (or player) knowing about it, even if the player is shite. That's if there's an ounce of truth in the story of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I'm too much of an optimist. I'm trying to convince myself that the reason we haven't been linked with anyone I'd want us to sign is the same reason we weren't linked with Jonas or Guthrie before they signed. It'll all end in tears, I just can't help myself! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 From The Sun JOE KINNEAR admits he is struggling to get his transfer plans into gear. The Newcastle boss is hoping to land at least four new faces as well as having a clearout to raise funds. But plans to ditch flop Spanish striker Xisco have hit a snag. FIFA say players can only appear for two teams a season and Xisco has turned out for Deportivo La Coruna and Toon. Kinnear is also struggling to land Barry Ferguson from Rangers. He said: “Whatever we have tried to do hasn’t come off. “Things are moving but we’re still waiting for someone to say yes to us.” Surprise surprise.

Mowen Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I'm even tricking myself into thinking we might engineer a good swap deal, even though I can't think of a deal of the sort that's happened since we got Keith Gillespie in part exchange.

Lenny Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I must admit, I do feel like this transfer window is just going to pass us by. This might have something to do with how numb I find myself becoming to our situation. I'm generally an optimist but I really can't see any light at the end of the tunnel for us yet.

Aye, I used to be so fkn positive all the time about everything NUFC but now I just feel sick at the state we are in, I do not think Ashley has any intentions at all of spending any money on players, we will get the usual bollocks of how hard they tried and how they only wanted to sign the best and right players for the club. I hated Fat Fred with a passion but at least he had a passion, Ashley is a fat lying bastard and is killing this club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinotheprehistoricgeordie 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?

TRon Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Mido's a twat but he's a proper forward who will score goals given the service. Smith is just a human dodgem car, running about in random directions bumping into players and falling down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
