Joey Barton has to be the biggest fool I have ever heard of. He goes on and on about loving the club blah blah then less than 48 hours after the club imply a rule saying don't use Twitter to discuss the club he goes on there saying trained with the 1st team today and will deffo be playing on Saturday. I say just get rid of the guy he obviously has no interest in the clubs policies as much as I think our board is garbage, if he loved the club he wouldn't be so interested in disrupting everyone and everything around him he is nothing more than an attention seeker trying make himself look good whilst forcing a move away because he wants nothing but long contracts with big wages.

Could we be more charitable to our neighbors on the Wear they have had a huge shock today.
The all time PL table out today has them 18th place and many are taking it as an omen for their position this upcoming season. Even the smoggies were ahead in 14th,what a kick in the nuts that must have been.
NUFC were comfortably in the top ten 7th actualy. So dont get upset lads if they must spend so much time on the NUFC site would you waste your time on the third team in the North East.
Remember league positions never lie.

Your right to disagree NUFC were 8th

Did you read The People on Sunday?
My sides are still aching from laughing so much. Stan Collymore reckons your circus of a club is going to be relegated. Sunderland to finish 12th.

It's a good job nobody rates stan collymore's aptitude then isn't it. Are you having problem's finding your own rumours page or has Man Utd just run out of off cuts to chuck you lot?

Yeah coz stan collymores a reliable source

Sunderlands future is looking brighter than newcastles so that will soon change.

You say you have a bright future when you are bringing 30+ aged Players ... stupid mackem

Ulrika didn't trust Stan so I'm with her.

2 players one 30 the other 31. the rest are in the 20's and one is 18 years old not exactly bad is it? what are you saying drogba is rubbish coz he is 33-34? what about you bringing in 36 year old sol campbell? hypocrites SGBS

There's a bit of a difference between O'Shea and Brown to Drogba.

Quote from Eric Pieters below:

PSV defender Erik Pieters claims English clubs have shown an interest in signing him, and feels he is ready for an overseas move.
The 22-year-old, who arrived in Eindhoven three years ago, only recently penned a new deal with the Eredivisie giants to keep him at the club until 2014.
But after missing out on Champions League football with PSV this season, Pieters admits his future is uncertain and says there has been interest from elsewhere.
"From England, there was interest," he told NUSport. "I have to wait and see what comes my way.
"I have grown over the past years. I think I could step in now."
PSV could only manage a third-placed finish in the Eredivisie this season, missing out on the chance of Champions League qualification to Ajax and FC Twente.
Netherlands international Pieters admits he is hungry to dine at Europe's top table after coming so close this year.
"I yearn greatly for the Champions League," he added.
GREAT WE ARE TRYING TO FIND A REPLACEMNET FOR OUR LEFT BACK THAT WANTS AWAY TO PLAY CL FOOTBALL BY GOING AFTER.....A LEFT BACK THAT WANTS TO LEAVE HIS CLUB AS HE WANTS TO PLAY CL FOOTBALL. UNBELEIVABLE

Yeah he wants to play c l football so hes going to sign

Just cos he wants to play cl football doesn't mean he's good enough to get it. I'm fairly certain Perch would want to get cl football but what cl club would actually pay for him to get it?

Champions League not Championship.

Ed do you know if Ola Toivonen is our new striker target?
Ive heard the rumours about pardew watching psv to see him and Pieters, is there something in this?
Would be a good signing imo, both of them would be.

{Ed042's Note - Pieters interest is true, Toivonen is hear say, its just because he is at PSV too, not saying theres no truth to it because we have had interest in the past but Pardew was looking at Pieters, also assessing his progress since returning from injury}

With his loan deal last season and marcelo as starting left back i think the club sell enrique and buy royston drenthe from real madrid as he's only a squad member now

Yeah and how much is he on get real

Hey ed great post site you've got I always use this for info :D I was thinking about who we could get in defence as cover for our centre backs and to push ssinpson a bit. I think that upson would be good as he is a free agent with experience and Stephen warnock would be my other choice out of favour and cheap :)

{Ed042's Note - Cheers mate.. personally would stick to the younger talent policy, and I dont rate either tbh even as back ups.. Eric Pieters is a good young player so glad to hear reported interest in him.. Eliaquim Mangala would be a very good signing too at CB but fair bit of competition for him.. as for pushing Simpson, Nathaniel Clyne would be my choice}

Is'nt clyne injured at the mo ED...are we in for a busy week on the transfer front ...geordie tom

{Ed042's Note - He is, was going to say "but hes injured" ha but as back up for Simpson would still be worth a punt, integrate him in over the season.. looks like it mate, plenty of names doing the rounds, 80% of it BS as always but should see more than Obertan come in the door over the next week or so}

Well ...people put loads of names up but we'll not know till their thru the door cheers again m8...agree about clyne as back up ...geordie tom

I have just read on Tribal Football that Mallorca have bid £1.5m for Teteh Bangura. ALK Solna have rejected the bid and are looking for £3m.

Come on Toon, lets get a bid in there. Heis a proven goalscorer at lower level yes, but I think he could bang them in for us and at £3m its just as big a risk as buying Obertan.

Mallorca were in a relegation dogfight last year and we are a bigger club, so I think he would definately come to us. Also can't see Man U bidding for him cos after yesterday's display they clearly don't need anymore players.

Geo

He won't get a work permit in England

Why is that?

I read it in an article a week or so ago, not played enough international games etc

He would be a very good signing for us but as the other guy said we were in for him but he could not get a work permit

Alan Pardew traveled to Holland to watch Erik Pieters, which would be a possible substitute of Jose Enrique and Ola Toivonen.

before the end of the season, I mentioned that Toivonen and Erik Pieters, would be very good firms, there are 4 other players that I like very much.

Siem de Jong
Luuk de Jong
Nacer Chadli
Crhistian Erikssen.

Man City offered £20 million for Christain Erikssen and it was turned down. Can't see us offering anything better.

Toivonen would be an excellent signing.
