to the celtic and rangers fans that spouted off about them being in the top six of our lge if they were aloud in, to be honest lads ave just watched your europa candidates hearts play 2nite...............ya on about newcastle being crap its bulls**t lads that lge is a joke so dont bother trying to tell us how good yous are when playing lesser teams than hearts in that lge f**king blyth spartans could give them a game.

Was thinking the same watching that Joke. We should see if they can move the border further south, we would be champions every year.

Champions every year....then they'd call us glory hunter's just like all the none Glasgow, Celtic and Rangers fans....just like Man utd and Liverpool.. north of the border

I am getting sick of looking on line every day just to read we are no closer to signing anyone.

M.A. Just sign a LB and a Striker and the fans will likely leave you be (for a while), it's that easy...... TWO signings and most of us would be pleased (this is only true if they are good players however, not Wayne Bridge or some 18 year old kid).

Just remember, when newcastle get beat at the weekend and you's use the excuse we had a poor squad...no lb etc
Your just in the position we have been for last 10/15 years, so go ahead and contradict yourselves.

Yea but difference is we know were gonna get beat Even last season yous were banging on about 6 easy points and how many did yous get? 1 poxy pointSMB

The main reason you are so easy to wind up at the moment is that you are so worried about where you will end up, whereas Sunderland fans are optimistic about where we will finish. The end of the season will tell. Goodbye.

"yea but difference is we know were gonna get beat" speak for yourself.. an you call your self a fan..unbelievable

Sunderland need to be optimistic Ooooo europe.....never going to happen for either ov us for a very long time Try champions league,just glad we have at least been there and done it,how does it feel smb? Knowing we have and you never will? Jealousy is a disease you should see a doctor smb stroll on saturday. Hwtl

At least we are profitible club unlike sunderland. yeah the owner might keep it but he wants success. Last season he said if newcastle finnish in the top ten he will give 500k bonus to players and staff. before arsenal game on espn pardew told the fans that he might be hard but wants success

That one 'poxy point' ended up finishing above you.

And? Fair enough if yous beat us to a european spot but it wasn't so a couldn't give a f##k to be honest 5-1 will go down in history, not the fact yous got 1 more point than us to finish in a pointless league position

Listen everyone why are we kidding ourselves We all know were signing nee focka , end of story . Although stuff it here's one , mike ashley takes it up the rubbishta . Boom

Aye bang on

Just read that Pablo Aimar is available for around 3mil (his wages might be a bit high thou) also Brian Ruiz FC Twente (played with Tiote) around 8mil. What about Van Arnholt as a young left back. Chelski seem to have loads of them may not cost more than 2 or 3m and wages won't be to high. If we could get these three in and keep the rest of our players and just off load Ranger and Smith I would be fairly happy with our squad til January and see where we are. (Legin)

Too old and no sell on so you guessed it NO WAY

Van arnholt signed for a german side. same one as the young english lad

18 Aug 2011 15:31:11
Tonight's Chronicle quotes Pardew indicating Ryan Taylor will start against the mackems.

No transfer conclusion today or tomorrow then

18 Aug 2011 14:50:29
you can bite me heed off if you want peeps ..but get nicky maynard on board before saturday ..did'nt we get andy cole from them (correct me if iam wrong ) look what he done for us...geordie tom

We did get Cole from Bristol City, and no one had ever heard of him. Sometimes, the right player works at the right club, and something clicks. Hopefully this will be the case with our new players too.

Ashley wouldnt take that kind of gamble unless hes in aspers

Ashley doesn't care as long as they are paid less than 30k a week. pieters wanted 35k. But he has got a point look at how much money we made last season 40m and not from the andy carroll sale. until he gets his money back and newcastle finnish in the top 10 he will improve the club.

We also got best from bristol rovers. You never know with these sorts of players how they're gunna turn out. How old is maynard?

Thought best ccame from coventry

You mean Coventry...

Best came from coventry... not clyde best who played for west ham many moons ago lol

My bad guys best was coventry. :p

18 Aug 2011 14:11:06
Ed any news on the striker and left back situations?
Im not an Ashley hater(Or pro Ashley for that matter) but it is completely unacceptable not to have atleast a left back(really another striker too) in for the derby. We've known Enrique was gonna be leaving for ages.

18 Aug 2011 14:00:20
wouldn't mind us signing maynard fits the bill with ashley. i would expect to join for around 4.5m because we are a prem team and no one will turn down a prem team. other championship clubs will have to pay at least 6.5m

18 Aug 2011 13:55:55
FC Twente striker Bryan Ruiz has come out and said Fulham are interested in him and it is a dream to play in the Premier League so a move could be on the cards.

Now if Fulham can get this guy in, then there is no reason why we can't sign him. Ex teammate of Tiote's and with a goalrecord of 36 in 61 games for Twente, he can obviously bang them in.

Just someone else we should be looking at but won't because we seem to me incompetent at signing players.

Geo

But how much? Thats the problem

Well if Fulham are making contact about him I can't see it being £10m or more?

The fact that he has said he wants to move means the onus is on the club who bid for him.

I'd say £8m would get him and it would be worth every penny. Non-African, young, quick, good finisher.

Geo

8m is just right for him.

18 Aug 2011 13:06:00
Guess its looking like its gonna be Ryan "The Smile" Taylor at lb again against the Mackems :(
Then again im sure i read this new keep Rob Elliot can play left back too lol, worth a punt?

Doesnt jonas play for argentina in the left back position? Just a thought

Shane fergie played 90 mins last night for the res so it would suprise me to see him so did Marveaux played the fully 90 mins two

I think Jonas played at rb in the world cup(so probably could play left back too), but i dont think he was particularly good there.
Yeah if Ferguson is fit id rather play him, but pretty sure Pardew will go with Raylor.

Ferguson will start at left back against mackems

was reading on ssn website, that the PSV LB and the PSV have yet to agree a fee. So mike ashley has set Alan Pardew a task of top 10 finish Pardew wants a top 10 finish to, but pardew wants it in the top half. mike ashley wants to come 11th which is first in the bottom half. A striker clearly wants to come to us, but mike ashley is on willing to pay for him, ameobi lovenkrands are good for coming of the bench, maybe best but i want him to be give a chance. Ba did not impress on his first game. what do people think and ED DO YOU HAVE ANY NEWS AT ALL?

{Ed042's Note - None as yet mate sorry, very unlikely before the weekend tbh}

Couldnt tell you what i think cos didnt really understand your post mate Bit mixed up Think we can push for the top ten and are capable of doing so but beyond that is out of our reach and i expect to finish around 8th to 12th

18 Aug 2011 12:01:06
Newcastle are still to agree a fee with PSV Eindhoven to sign left-back Erik Pieters, according to the player's representative. SSN...please let it be true PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

*dont

Just gobsmacked and don't know what to say with our lack of activity in signing one/two strikers (we have known for 8 months now since Carroll sale) replacement should have been found and signed in July. Equally obvious Enrique was going and again replacement lined up and in the following day.

Drove 500 mile round trip for Arsenal game and we never looked like scoring and their keeper never made a worth while save. Two late shots off target by Barton (who could be next to go).

Getting very worried for this season having initially been optimistic when we signed Cabaye and Marvereaux thinking they will create chances.

In fairness marvaeux hasn't played yet and cabaye is still settling in, ba did ok considering the job he was asked to do, ben arfa is still to return from injury and obertan looked promising in the short time he was down the left wing. there are good signs and there is still more to come, provided we can get a left back and a striker before the end of the window, i think we could do pretty well and a top half finish would not seem that farfetched.

Get these players settled and HBA back and we will soon start to see the threat we can pose. Also think gosling should be introduced as he has a killer pass that breaks defenses that ba and co likes to run on to. Marveux will prove to be a hit im sure especially when you think he come for free

18 Aug 2011 10:59:41
Don't you think it's about time Ashley or lambias
Grew some and at least made a statement as to what there intentions are regarding the future of the club
There total silence is insulting and frustrating
Mind you not sure I would believe anything they said

How many times does he have to state his intentions or BP ?, people are not listening.

So come on then how many times has stated his intentions
Because I've heard f all

18 Aug 2011 10:24:34
Lee ryder has just spoke to PSV chairman who said "Necwastle have not been in contact since the weekend"
please tell us you have some good news ED?
PessimisticPedro

{Ed042's Note - Haha transfers or news aside lad I think you should rethink your name, doesnt really set you up for a pleasant day.. as far as getting them in for the weekend, they have to be in and registered within the next 24 hours, so highly doubtful for the mackem game, but the signings will come... as for good news, two v.good performances out of Situ and Remy yesterday, hopefully get one if not both of them signed up.. Vuckic, scored again, Abeid and Moyo both had good games again, and a very impressive performance from Marveaux, thats the best news I can give you right now mate}

18 Aug 2011 10:12:31
Joey Barton collecting his philosophy A Level results today.

Genius, you think of that one all by yourself??

18 Aug 2011 08:04:41
Ed, Any news on the LB and Striker situation? It dosen't look like we are getting anyone before Saturday then there are only 10 days remaining of the transfer window Are we goin to sign anyone?

{Ed042's Note - Have until tomorrow noon to sign someone if they are to be eligible to play on Saturday so doubtful to be honest.. I do think we will sign both LB and striker before the window closes 100%, would rather see it delayed and make the right signing than a knee-jerk reaction to appease fans, just get anyone in the door regardless of whether they can cut it or not, doesnt make sense.. frustrating as hell I know but what can you do}

18 Aug 2011 08:32:56
Alight lads, looking forward to the game on Saturday. I think it will be close. Just an observation, but their are some stark similarities between Newcastle now and what S'land tried in the nineties. We had a succession of average managers (Reid/Wilkinson/McCarthy) who all operated under a board convinced we could balance the books and attract talent - we could do neither. I remember the penny dropped way too late in one transfer window and by this time we most players/agents were sceptical about our future and we left paying big money for Torre Andre Flo in a last ditch attempt to survive. Niall Quinn realised we were not the big draw we thought we were and had to pay over the odds to attract anyone - particulalry proven Prem players living down south. It was a reality check and like him or hate him, Bruce understands our limitations and that money talks in football. I really hope you lot don't suffer the same fate we did when we tried to run the club like an ordinary business and refused to pay a premium for talent but if history repeats itself the die may already be cast. I really hope not as the derbies and banter are too much fun and our supporters bring something to the premier league all others envy. I think the Derby will be a leveller as usual but I hope you can get rid of the fat controller and get back to where you should be so it continues. Don't want to be patronising at all just think he needs a reality check, listen to the fans, and look no further than down the road to see his business plan carries a huge risk. Good luck for the season anyway, Mack the Knife

No disrepect to sunderland mac we never had to much of a problem attracting players the only diffrence now is as much as i dont like ashley the man is a genius when it comes to making money and thats what makes him a very shrewd buisness man but that does not help the newcastle team as there is players who will come and some descent ones aswell the problems is ashley wants them cheap as possible so they have a bid resale value and theres nothing wrong with that but the problem is we need to spend a chunk on a striker and left back..

Aye, very true mate, no doubt N'castle a big draw compared to most - and Ashley can clearly run a business, no question. So could Bob Murray & most of the drumaville consortium. They still didn't get the concept modern players / agents place pound shillings and pence way above the desire / enjoyment of play for a quality club in front of a big crowd and whilst a player may not be worth the money, it's still worth paying it, if that makes sense It can influence factors that make teams tick, Confidence, momentum, support, morale, ambition, etc. These are huge currencies in football, unlike other businesses and im not sure he recognises their worth mate. Anyways, all the best lad. Mack The Knife

Cheers mac nice speaking to a sensible makem...lol
