AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Some guy on TalkSport just raved for about 10 minutes about Zaha and then when asked if there was any more interesting transfer news, he said that 'Newcastle have signed a load of French geezers' and couldn't tell the presenter anything about any of them. Sigh. Nobody's heard of them remember, like Ben Arfa. They then asked Julien Laurens whether Newcastle were buying 'a load of rejects' and he basically said 'no, they're all class'. Surreal radio.

Skirge Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Arsenal/Chelsea used to get the same jip man when they were totally foreign & contributing litte to English football The buying and selling of a Frenchman (Anelka) funded Arsenal's academy facilities which has just produced the future of the national team. Wenger = Viera too was a huge miss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 During the talk about how this is going to affect our academy I wish someone had have brought the point up about our academy producing the most expensive English player ever bought. I realise he was never worth the money Liverpool paid but it might have at least shut a few people up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hickman who is the Express' NE correspondant only really spoke about Coloccini. I dont rate him either, always has a smug laugh about him, never give smuch decent info.

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 So we bring in a German yeh? Who the f***s he going to talk to then? Stupid idea. Not just 1 German, Ince was implying that we'd be better signing 5 Germans... So we are evil for buying french players and ignoring the poor kids but if we buy 5 Germans its ok? f*cking morons the lot of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only tuned in half way through the interview. Fair play I suppose, it's the presenters fault for asking him questions he couldn't be expected to know the answers to.

Disco Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 How people can listen to that shite is beyond me, it's bad enough avoiding morons on here. Fwiw as nt a huge fan of this French influx I'd have less of an issue if it was all foreign, strikes me as a little shortsighted is all but if it's the way we're gonna keep going I guess its not first team wise.

Guest Slippery Sam Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Ince and Ratboy were both saying that all these Frenchies need to hit the ground running or it will all go tits up. Errr, hello, it's all going Pete Tong already - there is nothing to lose with these lot at all imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, Laurens always knows his fellow Frenchies and totally gets what's going on. TBF...Danny Kelly knows we're getting top talent in, too. The rest of them are English, inward looking simpletons. Very limited international knowledge. tbf Laurens ought to considering he pundits the french league for ESPN (a feature I do like out of espn is the getting in of journos like him and Marcotti for Serie A who actually know what they're on about) but I do enjoy listening to him and Auclair Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 There's also some ridiculous "they're all French its bound to implode theories" being banded about Fuck me we've seen some poisonous, pathetic squad atmosphere's at NUFC in the past and there was probably only a couple of Frenchies in the side.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Fingers crossed the summer will see us upgrade on the likes of Williamson in terms of squad depth. Though if Colo leaves we'll need another first-choice centre-back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
