You've never played for us, but you have opinions on who should and shouldn't play for us. Exactly, not only was Shearer a legend playing for us he's also a Newcastle United fan so is perfectly entitled to make comments on who he thinks we should and shouldn't buy. He's got it spot on imo but I suppose this story will prompt all the idiot Shearer haters to come out from under their stones and start bitching about him again - makes me sick.

Tbh I reckon Al's spot on, we don't want this little Welsh prick back at the club.

Is there any players that West Ham aren't going to go for?!

Yep, it's down to the old administration, can't blame the new guys for anything that the club did before they took charge.

Bit gutted like, would have been a great signing. I can see why he'd want to play for a team in the Champions League with better players around him but I really think it could be a mistake on his part - he'll be another Parker or Duff where he'll on the bench more than off it (if he even gets regular first team footy). Damn shame, we could have offered him the smae money, nailed on first team footy week in, week out and probably after this next season regular European footy. Shame to see his talent wasted but it's his choice at the end of the day, he'll get international football and a decent wage whichever team he'd joined so I guess he's just happy to not have to turn out on the pitch much. Let's hope that whoever Sam turns to now as his next defensive target is equally as good as Ben Haim, it's a shame we missed out on him but there are others. Who knows, as someone else has mentioned we could end up with him signing for us in a years time anyways.

Bolton away! What's the chances of that then Just tickered on the BBC webby

From SSN: Nice to have someone who's eager to play for you...

I've never heard of him! Must be great...

I'd love to know who it is at NUFC that Oliver speaks to, I'm sure anyone in management there would rather keep our transfer dealings a bit more under wraps than to feel compelled to tell Anal.

I'm really starting to despise the mercenary little scumbag, if he was commited to us he'd say so, he obviously doesn't want to be here but was happy to take the money and the treatment without being bothered about giving any payback. Unloyal, ungrateful shit, if he goes I hope he breaks both his cruciates in a freak training ground accident at whichever club he goes to.

Please be Harry Redknapp, please be Harry Redknapp!!! Actually even if it was Big Sam I don't suppose it'd be too much of a disaster as he's not the manager Mike Ashley wants in charge anyways, would be a shame though.

At this time I would rather have Bellamy playing for us and wanting to play for us than that little mercenary scouse scumbag Owen tbh, they're both arseholes in their own way but if we have to have one I'd rather it be the one that actually wants to play for us... as amazing as that sounds.

True enough but he's not wrong I think he's talking shit tbh. He inherited a side that had came 4th, 3rd and 5th in the 3 previous seasons and he's moaning about not having enough money to build a team even though he spent £50m on making us far worse than we were before. Hitting the nail on the head there Alex, he inherited a team comfortabley in the top 4-5, had £50m and knackered the team beyond recognition - Souness is a complete clown with no credibility what-so-ever. Fecking scumbag tbh.

It's scary for two reasons - firstly their spelling is REALLY bad, maybe down to too much smog between the kids and the blackboards in school. And secondly they seem to think they're some sort of rival to us... like we're their arch enemy or something, weird when you think they're in a totally different country to us, surely Leeds would be their nearest rivals?

I thought he'd signed on loan for PSV?!

I've just read it's an 'initial' fee of £7m, so there's going to be clauses in it for more payments later...

I actually feel a little sorry for Wigan... nobody deserves to have a player as shite as Bramble, well, except the mackems perhaps.

From the Independant (though has been in several other sources): Must admit I'm not too keen on the scouse fans myself... I don't see how they can justify the behaviour

Couldn't we keep him and sell Emre instead?

How is he worth £8m when Parker is apparently only worth £7.5? What a load of bullshit, £4m maybe but I don't see the point.

Cock

Is that a done deal then? Shame that.

That's a fair bit of cash Man Utd are dishing out at the mo, about £30m for the two lads they bought yesterday, another £17m for Hargreaves and I reckon they'll still need to buy a new striker as well.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I feel (if a little impatient perhaps). I don't think Sam's the type to leave everything til the last minute like previous managers have done. And it's looking more and more likely that Shepherd won't be holding things up any more than with the actual takeover itself - I'm feeling fairly happy for a change

The stuff dreams are made of... that'd be great
