How much are Cisse, Ben Arfa, Cabaye,Coloccini,Krul,Jonas,Santon on per week? Approx wages would be good - ED please inform me! {Ed001's Note - I don't know for sure, but the wage cap is around the 50k mark, if I remember correctly, so no one is being given deals over that amount. It is certainly not higher than that, I would need to look it up to make sure.}

Thank you Ed you´re a legend! {Ed001's Note - you're welcome, though I think you missed out a space there..... ;o)}

Sure coloccini is on £50,000^.

I think Colo will be the only player on 50k plus. I wouldnt be surprised if we had huge bonus payments to keep them happy but thats not a bad thing cos the better we do the more money they make and the club makes.

I think Colo's contract is more than £50k because of performance bonuses.

We'll definitely pay higher wages for players who show consistent quality.

My Newcastle team vs Stoke:

Krul

Simpson Williamson Coloccini(C) Santon

Ben Arfa Tiote Cabaye Gutierrez

Cisse Ba

Subs:

Elliot
Ferguson
R. Taylor
Shola Ameobi
Gosling
Perch
Guthrie

For me if marveuxs fit hes got to be on the bench but i wouldnt rush him back to quickly

Should do 433 against bolton did 442 and played crap

Im a sunderland fan and think that is a corking line up but like iv'e said a few times most probably get shot down but theres nothing on the bench lads would be worrying if ye gotta play a lot of games in europe

Sunderland fan -you could be right - on THAT line-up.
But don't forget the bench there doesn't include newly returning from injury Obertan, Marveaux and Best (or the currently injured Steven Taylor).
Also don't underestimate the quality of Guthrie, Ferguson and Perch either
Additionally, if we do get into Europe next season we'll have two or three new key players and the likes of Williamson, Simpson and possibly Gutierrez, from your 'corking line up', will drop onto the bench.
Won't look so bad then will it?

No stop jonas from the bench he is actually great!

Not underestimating any off the lads you name taylor looked good along side collo perch has done well coming in marveaux not sure about as he hasn't played many games obertan looks poor guthrie blows hot and cold ferguson looks to have a bright future like him simpson might move on williamson looks dodgy jonas not sure whats his best position but for his workrate must be ye best player never stops running i just wonder with ashley who im not knocking as he is a good buisness man will he splash the cash or try and use carr to scout europe who has unearthed some gems (i must admit like cabaye and ben arfa ) but not all will come out like some of the lads you have found only time will tell but one things for sure if ye dont do as well next season you have had a good season this year and though most teams at the top carry a bit of luck you lads deserve where ye are and are seeing the season through to the finnish well done
