what a fucking shambles about jonas if that is the case

[Guest alex]

Hardly NUFC's fault if Mallorca are dragging their heels, is it?

[Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0]

£9 mil for Milner now? If we hang on for another couple of days it'll be up to 12.

[Dr Gloom 22536]

i have no idea whose fault it is. it's a fucking shambles though.

 

what looks like our only quality new signing isn't going to be availble for the first game of the season. our squad is threadbare and no new signings look iminent.

 

this is a large crisis. in fact, if you've got a minute, it's a 12 storey crisis, with a magnificent entrance hall, gilding througout, and a sign on the roof saying "This is a large crisis."

Wouldn't say no to Bresciano...

Don't worry I just read this on NUFCblog.

Luca Modric and Pablo Aimar had both agreed terms with Newcastle United but both deals fell through due to a late bid from spurs for Modric and family commitments for Pablo. Shola Ameobi will join Ipswitch Town today after a long drawn out transfer saga. Kevin Keegan and Mr. Ashley are at loggerheads over Alan Smith. Mr. Ashley is ready to sell and cash in on Smith but Kevin wants to keep him, but expect the chairman to get his wishes and a move to either Everton or Sunderland within the next 48 hrs will happen. James Milner will sign for Aston Villa if the price is right, Kevin sees Milner as a good winger but will only be able to use him sparingly in the centre of midfield this season due to new players coming in and the amount of wide players already downstairs N’Zogbia, Duff, Gutierez and new additions. Mark Viduka will be offloaded in January along with Geremi. Fabricio Collocini will be unveiled as a Newcastle player by noon Saturday along with Erin Derdiyok (4.2m) Thiago Motta (loan + view to buy 7m) Arda Turan (18m +extras) . Kevin is also hoping to tie up deals for Warnock and Inler before August 31st. Blackburns management team are reluctant to sell but the player is unsettled and wants to move, Inlers price tag is a stumbling block but the sales of Ameobi, Smith and Milner will ease the finances. Mr. Ashley and his team believe the captures of Bassong, Gutierez, Guthrie, Collocini, Arda, Thiago, Derdiyok, Warnock and Inler ample enough to mount a serious challenge for a european position and good cup run. The delay for the transfer announcement is so the unveiling is a breathtaker, Mr. Ashley likes to make an impact and is going to make sure some belief is installed to the club again.;

 

See everythings good

nufcblog is a load of shite.

nufcblog is a load of shite.

What are you on about, it's comedy gold.

 

And tbf that is just a comment someone added and most of it has been thoroughly discussed on more reputable message boards at length over the past few days.

[Guest alex]

There's absolutely no way that was made up in order to generate hits. Be nice if it was true like

I have only read it quoted on here and 365 but what worries me is some people actually pay it some credence

The site itself is fine, as far as I can see it's just a fan who writes about what's going on and gives some oppinions on what he would like to see happen.

The only problem with it is as you say people seem to give it some credence. The guy has no more clue about what's going on than any of us, it's just his own personal message board.

[ohhh_yeah 2991]

Thiago Motta (loan + view to buy 7m)

See everythings good

 

 

 

i thought it was the other thiago we were linked to...

Nothing really new there...Arda and Deridyok have been on the radar since June.

I, but if MA comes out on the last day of the transfer market with a big line of new faces behind him, i think everyone will be rather happy and the pessimistic bunch on here will jump off the "Get MA out" bandwagon and start with the brown nosing and adoration of the man

I haven't really heard of that bandwagon.

 

Theres probably a few people who are very concerned but I don't think anyone wants rid of him.

 

If we get rid of Ashley who would replace him?

[R55VYS 0]

well you know what i mean, everyone is bitching on like they've got a right pile of sand in their fannies, moaning on about him.

 

No one knows whats going on behind the scenes, the papers just spout shite, i think everyone should just sit back and wait and see what happens

[Tom 14021]

If you have read the 8 page article in NUFC magazine it does give you an insight into his ambitions and ideas for the club.

 

Worth a read.

Not seen it, would like to if its kicking about on here anyway.
