Really cant be bothered with a whole 3 month of demba ba crack! Will he leave??? No he wont!!! Hes going here and there!! End ov the day its out ov our hands as fans and really who cares. we seen em come and go and theres always someone there to step up and replace. Just look at what happened with pony tail

Yep, but if he wants to leave, i hope he does it sooner rather than later, else we'll end up being a striker short going into the next season. no one wants to see a repeat of the maiga/erdinc chase from last summer.

The benefit with him apparently having this 7m release clause is we will find out whether he wants to be here, if someone bids 7m he still doesn't have to leave, if he does then so be it, I'd rather have players that want to be in black and white. Reckon we should go for luuk de jong if he does leave

Any chance of Newcastle signing Jordan Rhodes? He's just put away his 40th of the season tonight. Big step from league 1 to prem but worth a try?

I wouldnt risk the 5-6mil pricetag huddersfeild have set...

With the impending departures of Simpson and Guthrie and the possible arrival of Douglas is anyone concerned at the lack of English players who will be 1st team regulars next season?

Suppose it is a little concern but what english players would make our team stronger? I wouldnt mind seeing moses in a toon shirt

Not one bit, English players nowadays are far to over hyped, arrogant, demand higher wages and command higher price tags simply because they are English. You just have to compare the quality of the England team to the likes of Spain, France and many more to confirm it.
Just because a player is English does not mean that they should start. in all honesty i don't expect any of our starting line up to be English next season an don't really care.
I do however expect a few Academy players to start breaking through over the years, even more so if we are classed as class 1 in the new set up, meaning we can start bringing in players from further afield within the UK, as we have been limited by our location at present.

I do agree with you however with the way the league is ran you do not need a single english player in the squad just 8 who were trained in england professionally for 3 years before the age of 21... next season we will still have plenty of these players falling into that category...
Raylor
Shola
Elliot
Perch
Saylor
Williamson
Gosling
Sammy
Vuckic
Krul
Forster (if he doesnt leave for Celtic)
ferguson

Saylor deserves to be in the the first team next season he was class before getting injured.

Saylor would be going to teh Euro's had he not got injured he was playing that well. No way we would have conceded all those goals against Spurs/Fulham/Wigan etc if he was in the team instead of very over rated Williamson.

What about A Johnson, coul dreplace Ba when he goes and woudl fit in well in a 4-3-3?

A johnson? come on now, he is awful

when sylvain Marveaux came on agains everton he looked good be like a new signing for us happy to see the lad fit hope to see him scoring in Europe next season ;) ashingtonMAG

I would like to see Marveaux plays as one of the 3 in midfield. His passing and touch is top draw.
