can anyone explain the point of bringing Adam Campbell on to play the last 5 minutes in a friendly. does Pardew have any idea what he is doing

I am one of the more positive fans that rarely complains, but Adam Campbell getting 5 minutes in a friendly is pathetic. Inexcusable!

Why don't we try for Matej Vydra from Udinese he would cost about £6m, surely he is a better option then bent or remy? Any comments welcome

Mat try 9m that is wot sunderland where told

Wouldnt you still go for it?

Doesn't matter who we "think" they should go for. Never going to happen. Relegation battle every season now. As long as we just about stay in perm Ashley will be happy. I used to be optimistic every season. What happened to the 5 year plan?

Ehh wouldn't rule this out

Why do the likes of jToon continue to say we have a fantastic squad? Did you sleep through the whole of last season? Although Pardew says " i'm happy with our defence", it LEAKED almost 70 goals last season, 2nd worst in the premier league! We cannot score goals, we have NO wide men who can cross past the first defender and no-one who will score double figures from midfield.
In my eyes, never missed one game last season, home or away, domestic and european, I can see that TWO Strikers, TWO wide men and at least ONE commanding centre back are required MINIMUM.
As a lot of previous posts have stated, the club will not go forward with the current regime and one can only hope that a buyer would come forward and remove this man from our club.
Wilie, Sting, Brian Johnson, Ant+Dec, Robson Green, John Hall, Freddie Shepherd, Cheryl Cole, Shearer, ALL profess their love for our club. Surely they will have the finance and contacts to launch a takeover bid and make every Geordie in the world happy.

We have a quality defence, midfield, attack, just needs strengthening a bit and gelling

I thought that the problem with your defence is that it was manned by a load of stiffs.

Cisse is nothing but a joke to our club (the club is a joke it's self). The sooner we can get shot of this so called professional the better! He clearly wants nothing to do with us (thinking he is a lot bigger, I think)

"I will not wear a Wonga sponsored top as it is 100% against my religion!"
(but on the other hand I will wear a top sponsored by Virgin).

"I cannot gamble as it is 100% against my religion!"
(but on the other hand I will have a look in one, place a few bets while the lads are away training).

"I still want my 60,000 a week wage, enough though I am not training with the team, and very clearly do not care!"

Get shot of this total waste of space! I know we can't afford to lose anyone else, and no way can we lose a striker. But can we really be putting up with this stupid attitude from a player?

He's not on that wage. He's actually on very little as a lot goes directly to Senegal charity's.

Agree, he does a lot for his people back home. He is not a waste of space but is a hypocrite it would seem.

Oh so he just doesn't want to be seen as a bad person to the charities he donates to. Good for him for donating some of his wages to it but still, he needs to sort his priorities out.

Maybe he is sorting out his priorities, maybe he'd rather play for a better manager and team with ambition cause we ain't showing any. : (

Sorry to say it, But it's going to be a long, long season. We are just not good enough. Fact.

Fact? Really? I'll tell you what on paper, this is one of the best teams I've ever seen at newcastle. Whether they can play together is a different question. Give them and Pardew a chance, we have a better squad than the one that finished 5th.

Now is not the time to say things like that.

Jtoon loves Newcastle so much so he is blinded by love and loyalty. #rosetintedspecs.

JToon, If this is one of the best teams you've seen at Newcastle then you must be about 13 or 14 years old. Stick to your Xbox son.

I love The Toon with a passion but there is no way we will ever go forward under this regime. It's all about money making for Ashley, as long as he makes a nice little profit he's happy. I'm sure he thinks we are one of his C**p shops.

No, you can call me deluded, 14years old, blinded, rose tinted specs all you want but at least I know you are the ones who have been blinded by all this negativity. I know my football very well, and listening or reading your comments are so aggravating it sounds like you only just became a supporter yesterday. The fact that you are writing this season off already is appalling. Yes we have had some bad weeks in appointing kinnear, not bringing in any players (soon we will though) but to write us off completely is just ignorant. it's like you want us to do bad. You cannot judge the players straight away from trying to settle in at a difficult time in january, and trying to gel in pre season. Look at manchester united, they just lost another pre season game! Does it matter? NO. Pre season is about getting match fitness and gelling. Yes it is nice to get a winning mentality but you cannot judge our squad like that.

Krul-Top top goalkeeper wanted by lots of clubs in europe.
Debuchy-French regular international, still settling in, great right back I look forward to seeing the best of him next season.
M'Biwa-I still can't believe we got him. for just 6m, a champions league club captain. Why did we get him? because we were the bigger club and he wanted to leave.
Coloccini-Team of the year 11/12?
Santon-Great potential, great attitude, will become a top class player.
Tiote-Great attitude, absolute beast 10/11 and 11/12. but last season was out of form but if we play well he will return to good form.
Sissoko-Bargain, great box to box powerhouse, great potential.
Cabaye-Top top class midfielder, chased by man u, arsenal, psg and monaco.
Ben Arfa-Another top top player. Our "Mercurial One" great attitude, loves the club loves the fans as we love him, almost unplayable 11/12.
Gouffran-Id say he's a decent player, maybe not top but good player for us.
Cisse-Although he looks likely to leave, he is a top striker.

That is why I know we've got a top squad. Pardew is a good manager, maybe is a bit clueless sometimes (Like 12. 13) but he got us to 5th playing some great football.

i'm simply just sweeping bits of news like appointing joe kinnear, to the side because I know its for the benefit of the club, ok maybe it could of been a different DOF but anyway. Things like not making a signing yet, I know we will because you simply cannot judge by what the media report. Ashley, kinnear and charnley aren't just going to be sitting on their ar$es all day doing nothing, they will be in negotiations for 3 or 4 players because they know we can't have a season like last one again, and ashley knows that especially well, who will learn from his lessons from not buying enough players to cope with europa.

You will probably just scan through that, and just pluck something else from the air to moan about and try and contradict me, and you probably won't listen to my opinion simply because one person isn't going to change your mind.

Its just really frustrating reading some people's negative comments on here, because they are so blinded by what the news reports and just judge from pre season. I'm not going to reply back if you do happen and probably will just throw my opinion and point out the window and continue to be negative and moan all the time. The main point here is that its a new season, new things and we should get behind the team not write them off. I bet you lots of fan's minds will change when we bring in a few players like Remy and Gomis.

Our squad could be amazing on paper but for some reason they're poor on grass which is all that matters.
Yes you're correct the results in preseason are irrelevant but the performances are important yet we still struggle to pass, look poor defensively, still can't play with this 4231 formation and the most worrying thing is Pardew thinks we played good Yesterday.
You say Pardew is a good manager, what is that based on? Finishing 5th once? Why was he dropping down the leagues?

Still no signings. This is getting pathetic now. Next season is fast becoming a write off already. The club is in serious trouble now. Sick of giving my time, money and emotions to this insane regime.
