I know I shouldn't but

The thing is, I reckon if we'd bought Debuchy, it would've given the fans and the squad a massive lift. Add to that the increase in quality at RB, and the message that we're going to keep improving, it's a no brainer for me. If the deal foundered over a small amount of difference in valuation, it's fucking stupid imo. I bet Pardew was pissed off.

I agree with that. If it is their objective, it's a long long way down the track.

Probably in training

The thing is, unless it's someone who has an appreciation of the club, its history and the area, it might as well be an Arab if they're minted & going to pour money into the club. imo.

Shit font Aeris, pretty unreadable

Not that I think it'll happen btw.

Freddy's had his go and is getting on, I don't think we should go back. I'd prefer someone younger with a passion for the club and the Newcastle area and fucking deep pockets. Oh and a great big boot to stick up Llambias' arse

I suppose I have double standards. On the one hand I respect people's property. On the other hand I can sympathise if a homeless person squats when the alternative is sleeping under a bridge. The only people I've met who were squatters were pretty desperate characters; I wouldn't be impressed if a regular person did it just to dodge rent.

9th. In a pessimistic mood after this transfer window

Congratulations! Now perhaps you can tell us where the Carroll money has gone?

I assume it's not that hard to fend off approaches for players. You just say no thanks.

I think 8th or 9th. Can't see us replicating last season I'm afraid, plus we'll get more injuries and we haven't strengthened the first team much.

Very disappointed about the transfer situation, I'm sure Pardew was hoping for more as well. Pretty glad I didn't bother following the window closely.

Hmmm. I wonder what happened to the Carroll money?

RIP. I know the corporate seats thing pissed a lot of people off but he was responsible for transforming the club into the big time.

I wonder what went wrong with Obertan. Maybe Ferguson pulled a fast one on Pardew while Carr was on holiday......

If we don't sign anyone else, I can't say I'd be surprised. It's a shame if we don't sign a 1st teamer RB though....probably make the biggest impact for the least money imo.

Deary me, this is depressing

I hope so

Would be pretty short sighted to sell Cabaye. Even more so for an average fee.

Could turn out nice again.....

You're in a positive mood

It's mind blowing that anyone could be judged after a couple of games. Especially when he's played two games in different countries in 48 hours, the first in crippling heat. The guy's won the Eredivisie and played for Ajax. I doubt he's average.
