Good stuff.

Whoops sorry for the double post. Stupid phone. Can't even figure out how to delete it. Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Majority of us defend Ashley? Where have you been over the last few years? If we're happy with a player or two he signs doesn't mean we adore him all of a sudden. You don't have to be completely for or against a person.

Are you the one that wanted us to sign Kevin Davies?

Agree with that. Some real pace upfront is required.

Trying to offload Cabaye, Tiote and Taylor??

Remy link is popping up nearly everywhere to be honest, hope to hell its true.

How much would that take Real's total to? They've spent a fair bit on Isco and Illaramendi as well along with someone else Im forgetting

He's coming at about half their price though isnt he which is why we're getting him.

Gomis is about 28, I hope he can do a job for us but perhaps thats the most we can expect from him. Whereas with the likes of the younger lads mentioned above there was always the chance they could develop into one of the top strikers in the league in years to come. I dont know too much about Van Wolfsiwnkle but Bony certainly has the ability.

Sums it up. If there's a buy out clause at the end of that of around 6M then its not the worst deal ever is it? Not considering the rape case that is.

They've gotten us down to that point now havent they? I suppose my reservations about him are mainly because he's never had a great scoring record and he isnt exactly young. I'd be delighted to have him now, given like you say the alternate which is Shola, but its just infuriating we weren't in for the likes of Van Wolfswinkle and Bony.

Gomis could turn out to be a good buy for all I know, but I dont get your logic there. Might as well buy a cheap goalkeeper for 500K and stick him up there then, he'll probably score a goal or maybe even two in the season. Better than the alternative, which is noone.

This thread is depressing enough without people posting stuff like that....

Same here, cant even say why to be honest. Just think we'll be lucky if he can score more than 10 goals in a season.

Just ridiculous, clubs needing strikers a lot less than us are shelling out big money for them while we wait for God knows what chasing have beens like Bent. Absolutely bloody depressing. Despite knowing what happened last summer, and despite knowing who runs this club, I still thought we'd have gotten in someone by now.

I understand that, but I dont mind city life at all, at least not yet. At the moment I think its got more to do with having adolescent dreams of 'making a difference' being shattered and realising 90% of us are just paper pushing slaves

Dont want to get started on the Marveaux debate again, but there's something definitely wrong when a player cant be involved in a game for more than a total of 10 minutes. Cant see him being anything more than an impact sub. Hope he proves me wrong.

"He would talk to me like I was the best player in the world and I went out at St James’ Park feeling like I was going to play like the best player in the world. I am 5ft 6 or 5ft 7ins tall but I am telling you this: when I put that kit on and I was standing in that tunnel with Bobby Robson, I felt like I was Didier Drogba." - Craig Bellamy."

"On the fourth anniversary of his death, let's take a look back at some of the greatest words spoken by one of the greatest men to walk the earth. A true ambassador for football and sport in general, everyone loved Sir Bobby Robson and there was not a fan in the country that didn't show their respects when he passed away on 31st July 2009." http://www.ftbpro.com/posts/kevin.blundell/303109/sir-bobby-robson-s-greatest-quotes

Whoa, always nice to meet other fans with no real connection to Newcastle Welcome to the board, we'll be mightily pissed if you turn out to be a mackem. And btw we have Mbiwa ahead of Williamson in the pecking order.

Is it wrong that I just turned 25, am in the fourth year of what is considered the 'dream job' starting out in my profession, and am already thinking about this? Once I thought its just because I work in the insanely exciting finance industry but as it turns out it seems most people have similar thoughts.
