Brock Manson 0 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Judging from his youtube clips, he'd do well with a player like HBA to provide him with service played in behind the defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7170 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 These surprise signings are the best, Cisse, Santon, Cabaye, Tiote etc. Press didn't have a clue til they were at the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In actual fact it was another 'club lie' (in a manner of speaking) as they said we weren't getting anyone after Maiga fell through and then promptly went back on it. Either way though, if we can be spared the standard 'number of targets' 'just got to get it over the line' 'just failed to get it over the line' 'end of the week' 'x% certain something will or wont happen' for weeks on end beforehand it's a marked improvement and makes the club look a lot more serious.

hostile_statue 0 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 So can anyone itk wet our appetite for what we can look forward too. Press are saying great in the air with lightening pace. Are we talking Bellamy lightening etc? Grateful for any insight. I'm not itk but someone mentioned Andy Cole yesterday and from what I've seen/read/heard that sounds like a good comparison.

"Weww done to Mike oo sanctioned the deaw" Aye a quarter of the money he got in for Carroll. Well done Mike you fat prick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Pardew keeps mentioning that he hopes the encourage and talk Ashley into spending that little bit extra. Fair play to Pardew for getting him to spend it. Pardew saying thanks via the press is just him trying to put him in a more positive light to the public.

Happy Face 29 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Reconsidering my position on the prediction of no improvement on 12th place of last year. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Like the Doomsday Clock, I'm adding a bit more time to our life expectancy on the back of this news...we'll see how it goes over the next 13 days. Up until the profitable window closed last year we averaged 1.3 points per game. After the profitable window closed last year we averaged 1 point per game. Those extra points would have took us up to 8th. Up until the profitable window closed in the relegation season we averaged 1 point per game. After the profitable window closed in the relegation season we averaged 0.73 points per game. Those extra points would have took us up to 16th. Buying players rather than selling them is the way to maintain/improve performance. Fingers crossed. Edited January 18, 2012 by Happy Face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6700 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Absolutely over the moon with this one - quality signing... And the fact the Mackems funded his flights over here is the icing on the cake - they must be fucking steaming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46030 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Sounds like something someone's made up on twitter that's gathered steam. Realistically, if the mackems paid for his flight over, he's getting picked up by a club representative and is spending all day at the SOL, going nowhere near SJP.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Fuck me, for the first time in a long time a show of ambition. I'm shocked and impressed in equal measure. Having said that, the cynic in me is still thinking that they've bought him on the basis they know they'll be getting at least £10m back in before the end of the month. I'll not be truly impressed by this till Feb 1st and no-one important to the team has been flogged (ie Tiote) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 People still quoting the £10m which was just a rumour. £7.5m innit. This is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Is it not still 'undisclosed'? Not that that resolves it one way or another. Aye, but I thought all reports of £10m were superseded by £7.5m plus add-ons totalling £9m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're prob right that the flat £10 mill figure is wrong like as that seems to have come from some press valuation headline "£10 million rated" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) The rumours of Sunderland buying his plane tickets are unfounded, as you can see from the pics here-- http://www.nufc.co.u...2580578,00.html --he arrived via a time-portal device wearing some pyjamas, apparently a relic of Steve Bruce's time as manager. He soon escaped to SJP to finalise the deal. Edited January 18, 2012 by Kevin S. Assilleekunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
