I've just read this thread back and realised the last three pages are all about me!  :blush:

 

FWIW I think people ignore the bits of my posts where I think Ashley has made loads of mistakes, and the bits where I say I think he should probably spend more. Also the posts where I say not having a replacement for Enrique lined up would be massively incompetent. It's not like I even support the guy, I just think that his drive to run us in a financially sensible way is not a bad thing. It annoyed me more when we were spending millions on Boumsong and Luque.

 

The problem is you can't include some sort of barcode on every post that downloads your entire qualified opinion about Mike Ashley.

 

The thing I don't believe is that he has some sort of mind control over the media and he would bother using it to do things like make up our link to Erdinc just to keep the public sweet. That obviously hasn't worked!

 

Anyway, enough meta-debate.

Good post. I don't think he's an evil genius out to destroy the club either, more that he's a short-sighted corpulent berk who rarely seems to learn from his mistakes.

Macheda wanted by Newcastle United

05:00 PM 03 August, 2011

 

 

Newcastle United are willing to offer Federico Macheda regular first team action.

 

The Italian youngster burst onto the scene towards the end of the 2008-2009 season, when he scored two vital goals in Manchester United’s successful defence of the title.

 

Macheda has since found opportunities hard to come by, and he was loaned out to Sampdoria for the second half of last season where he struggled to rediscover his best form.

 

Whilst there is little chance Sir Alex Ferguson would let the teenage striker leave permanently, a loan deal could be possible and Newcastle are said to be interested.

 

Yeah I know poor source

Macheda was the best player on the pitch during the two stateside games I watched. Hardly ready to be first choice but has a decent future IMO. Would be similar to when we brought in rossi IMO except will already have back up. Need a main man.

I tell you what, I'd take him now. We've got to fill Enrique and Bartons spot in the next 4 weeks as well. I've got no faith in the board to get them 3 players in over the space of 4 weeks, so at least if we got one in at the start of the month it gives us half a chance. He's got potential and we're desperate.

Jesus, I mentioned we'd be in for Macheda a few days ago, but it was a piss take.

 

Mention an eccentric but incredibly wealthy businessman is going to come in and but the club. And Jose and Joey will stay when they see Messi agree terms with us. :lol:

If Enrique goes, a new LB is a must and even Ashley can't be so dense as not to see that. If that is done, I reckon that will be it. We will have a squad which is much weaker than the one that started last season. :(

 

Wouldn't say that like.

 

Out would be - Routledge, Nolan, Enrique, Carroll, Barton, Campbell (does he even count??)

 

And in would be - Abied, Cabaye, New LB, Ba, Marveaux

 

That's IF we only signed a replacement left back, IMO we'll get a striker as well.

I don't disagree that the situation isn't good, but you could pop Gosling and Ben Arfa on the new list really.

The thing that scares with that isn't the ability of the players, they seem better and most definitely more skillful, its the grit that players need in our league, if those players have it, then it should be a pleasant surprise this season.

Those Zapater quotes. (never seen him play before in my life)

 

"Four Spanish clubs spoke to me along with Newcastle, Parma & Olympiakos, but I chose to play for Lokomotiv in Russia because it will be a totally new experience that will be very interesting to me"

 

Just Google searched him and found this...

 

The agreement between the 26-year-old Spaniard and the Railwaymen was signed for a 5-years term. Lokomotiv didn’t have to pay for the transfer, as Zapater had terminated his contract with Sporting (effective until 2015) and left Sporting as a free agent, according to Heraldo de Soria

 

 

....surprised he was a target in the end? :lol:

@MancAgent01 suggesting Barton met with David Moyes today. Seems like the right fit. #NUFC have a replacement lined up...

 

 

So Barnetta? Would be rather content with that.
