Aww

COME ON BURNLEY, against reading anyway, provided we get past birmingham I'll be able to come up for the match

SSN "Obafemi Martins is stepping up to take this penalty and from what I've seen im not confident he'll score"..."well he has done 2-2" STFU

Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd insists he has no influence over who the club sign. It has been suggested that Shepherd makes the decisions on who the club signs and not the manager Glenn Roeder. Shepherd has promised to make funds available to Roeder to bolster his injury-hit squad in January and Shepherd is adamant Roeder has the final say on who comes into the club. "I don't interfere with transfers and it is ludicrous to suggest that I bring in the players or make signings without the manager being involved," Shepherd said in the News of the World. "There is no way I have ever said to a manager 'There is Mr X - you have got him whether you like him or not'. "It would be madness for anyone to do that. I know that they do that on the continent, but it wouldn't work in English football. "I don't get involved in team selection and I don't hang around the training ground. That's not what I am paid for "We have spent £250 million on players since I have been on the board, so no one can ever accuse us of not backing managers." Okay then

Pretty typical response on a NUFC board but it's Shearer, Liked him for us and for Blackburn and of course England

I think he would be willing to come on loan realising he isn't first choice at chelsea and wanting some first team football, why oh why didn't we get him in summer?

Standing next to Michael Owen makes anyone look tall tbh. Agreed, but he isn't doing

I don't know, with hargreaves out and mclaren preffering a holding player in the centre Parker might get the game provided he's fit esspecially seeing as carrick is wank and nolan is a more attacking player

He was with him in spirit

They don't seem to understand that things change in time

I can play just about anywhere (I'm not even a bad 'keeper) and I get paid sod all to train and play football all day so it's not really unreasonable. The Germans and Dutch are fond of this type of training they call it "total football"

now where did I put my AK... Freddy

That's the spirit, let's all jump on the transfer train... Freddy! Freddy! Freddy! 189619[/snapback] I'm in COME ON! DO SOMETHING RIGHT FOR ONCE!

I should've waited a couple of days, could really use the BJ right about now

189522[/snapback] I'd be pleased with signing Neill, handy player

David Wier 189484[/snapback] Not a midfielder, try again. 189487[/snapback] Steve mcmanaman?

David Wier

I'd swap half of the midfield we have for 2 decent defenders tbh

So we've paved the way for them to get an international in? Anyone heard of him?? 189455[/snapback] I have, decent player but nothing special, wickedly fast being his best attribute

I don't mean to fall in with stereotypes here but aren't chinese/japanese people usually short?

Shouldn't we at least be signing old, shit defenders? another midfielder/striker is just......there are no words

......

...yeh , still he is an interesting prospect 188131[/snapback] Well prospects are what we deal with, eh. I just think this goes to show that Roeder fucked up his transfer plans, if he had any. It also shows that there is zero chance of buying another striker tomorrow, otherwise this deal would be pointless. 188132[/snapback] Agreed, the best we can hope for is that either ffs is doing something very out of character and keeping his cards close to his chest or that we at least get this egyptian CB who might just turn out to be ok

...yeh , still he is an interesting prospect
