[Ashley17]

David Craig said last week that a promotion chasing side was in for him, the crafty old badger.

for the whole lot.

 

Good point in there about them letting Yeates go.

 

It's almost as if Strachan wants them to fail.

 

Who's Yeates supposed to be going to? He looked impressive the few times I saw him.

 

He's gone. Sheffield United I think?

yup on the assumption theyd get routilage, strachens even thicker than i thought coz yeates looked good

[JH]

That grin is going to get fucking annoying like.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Hopefully this means that Geremi is well on his way out aswell

 

That would be too good to be true, surely.

[Dokko]

No word of a lie but i wore my lucky toon top today for the 1st time in ages.

 

You can all buy me a beer for my hard work in this transfer deal.

[Guest rosstoon]

my father in law is a QPR fan and they rate him down there. Only Busacky is favoured by the fans, Great signing at last we can attack down both flanks instead of Jose and Jonas having to do it all. Can also play just behind front two.

[Leazes1986]

Very happy with this! I'd almost resigned myself to the fact that Hughton didn't think we needed some width on the right then out of nowhere we've gone and bought a pacey right winger at a good age who is a very good player in this division. This signing could turn out to be our best and most important signing of this window. Even if we sign another striker, a natural right winger will give us a whole new dimension.

 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Yeah, the balance we'll gain will be a massive, massive bonus... at least teams won't be able to double up as much on the left.

So 1st team for the rest of the season?

 

----------McLoven --- Shola

 

Jonas--Barton---Guthrie--Routledge

 

Jose--Colo--Williamson--Simpson

 

-----------Pub Goalie

 

*Nolan in for Barton till he's fit

[Fenham Mag]

He has beautiful eyes

If fit and confident, that team is probably good enough to (just about) stay up if we get promoted.

[Teasy]

Hopefully this means that Geremi is well on his way out aswell

 

Which will more then cover the wages of Simpson, Williamson and Routledge.

It sounds it, but Hughton said if Geremi was to leave then he would have to find a replacement because he wanted the same numbers for the second half of the season. And the timing of this deal, coming just when Cameroon have been put out the ACN makes it sound like the deal may be nearly done

Still got Taylor to come back to fitness as well, plus Ryan and Smith. Carroll & Ranger as backup, getting a half decent squad together there.

 

We need another LB unless Kadar gets the games he needs and performs well enough.

Think we have a better chance of staying up witch Taylor in there for Williamson though.

[Ronaldo]

I disagree, simply because I think Shola and Loven would get an absolute maximum of 20 goals between them and the rest of the team doesn't have many goals in them at all.

[BottledDog]

Fron the Boro forum - "Nice to see how the Jawdees have kept their interest in him quiet and then completed the deal for him very quickly, unlike us who have been linked with him for weeks and done sweet fa."

 

Makes a change. Love it!

[Greg]

Amaretto and coke is lush like, I don't even like coke but that drink is just too nice.

 

Started drinking it with diet coke, tastes much better, a little too sweet with full phat coke.

 

Will have to give that a go next time I get myself a bottle.

 

It nearly made me bankrupt the first time I drank it, was at a do at the Palace Hotel and it wasn't cheap.

[Unlucky Luque]

Smith and Nolan won't get dropped this season.

[JH]

Even that's optimistic

[Guest guinness_fiend]

Very happy with this signing

Have they just Photoshopped his face onto a model and just mirrored it to throw us off the scent?

[Willow]

If we keep our current crop apart from Geremi, I'd be super delighted with this window already. Anything else is a bonus to me now

 

I foresee a roller-coaster end to this season, eeeek!

I almost feel a bit sorry for them now.
