I reckon Graham Carr must be related to Mike Ashley why else would he give him a 8 year contract let him scour France and Holland for players to sign and then not spend money on his recommendations.

Seriously why haven't we looked at the spainish market apart from Barca, RM and possibly Ath Madrird (got a windfall when they sell Falcao) all the other clubs are skint. There must be some bargains i.e Michu 2mil.

I can only assume we haven't got a clue who we want to sign, it was obvious to everyone Ba was going in this window if his clause was activated with Pardew continually telling everyone about his clause for the last few weeks. It feels as though we have been caught with our pants down. Surely we would have had a replacement lined up ready to sign, price agreed. Liverpool did it with Sturridge. And don't get me started on a centre back, 18 months we have been short there and still no-one. It beggars belief, I hate Alex Ferguson but he would never let this happen and buys players to do a job, not to fit a criteria of how cheap can we buy him for so we can sell at a profit. If a player is good enough and can do the job you need for the team you go out and buy him. Van Persie 29yrs old (24mil) no sell on value but may win them the title. Rooney sees this and plays out of position for the team, all Ba and Cissee have done is sulk.

My dream would be to sign Remy (can't see it happening now taking to long, still no firm bid) Siaem De Jong (i can dream) Haageland (good for two or three seasons) and Pieters (cover at centre half and competition for Santon and to give him a rest, he's played most games all ready).

Spanish market.....?? we bought luque look what happend and marcelino and pistone and xisco to name a few thats why.

Pistone came from Italy

''Spanish market.....? we bought luque look what happend and marcelino and pistone and xisco to name a few thats why.''

Yes because Spanish Players are rubbish, which is why they won the World Cup and the Euros with La liga considered to contain the best midfields in the world.

BTW: Pistone was Italian.

Marcelino was a defender, not something the Spanish are well known for.

Luque: That transfer was under investigation by the Stevens inquiry, Souness or someone was getting a backhander.

I have no idea how someone could come out and say Spain is not a place to look for players, how on earth could you not know what kind of talent is within la liga.

Look at the schooling Bilbao gave Man Utd last season.

If you are going to rubbish people on here at least check your facts.

The Spanish are not known for thier defending.....are you mad! Do you even watch football?

La liga is known for its midfielders, since when was Spain known for having towering defenders with crunching tackles and pace to track fast strikers?

Did you watch Chelsea in the Champions league last season by any chance?

Name me one good Spanish defender apart from Ramos?

Educate yourself.

''Marcelino was a defender, not something the Spanish are well known for.''

The Poster did not say the Spanish were not known for defending, he said they were not ''well known'' for it, which is essentially true.

Spain is known for its attacking players.

Sheesh, some people need to learn to read.

Since when was Spain known for its defending?

Italy maybe but Spain?

Jordi Alba is good, Pique is good, Javi Martinez is good. That's three just off the top of my head.

How about, Alves, Pique, Puyol, Jordi Alba for starters. Also Spain probably have the best goal keeper in the world. Spain didn't win the world cup and back to back European championships by having a sh£t defence. Spain over the past 10 years have the best players in all positions not just in midfield. As for Italy having a reputation for defending.....maybe in the 90's not so much now.

Wish everyone would stop moaning about pardew & wanting him sacked! For years we cried out for stability & now we've got it some so called fans are screaming for a change!we still have half a season to turn things around and I for one think we are more than capable of doing so!

We've got to get isimat miring just so we can get rid of willo. Then i'd say we need an experienced centre half, hangeland? distin?, i don't really want douglas, i've seen him and he's no better than willo really, but maybe i'm being a bit harsh. looking like we're gonna miss out on remy, i'm happy as long as we get aubameyang who's quick, tall and could play on the wing and reminds me a lot of neymar.
OUT: defo simpson 1m, jonas 2m, maybe willo if we get 2 CB's.
IN: Aubameyang 8m, Hangeland 6m/distin 2m/douglas 4m Isimat mirin 3m, diame 3.5m?

I agree we need a CB cos Willo needs to go but even if AP wanted Hangeland he would have to fight the board again like he did for us to land Debouchy. Cant see it happening twice in a transfer window. We will probably stick to the young talents for the rest off the transfer window. Cant see us getting Remy now either.

I posted last month that Pardew should go and I was criticised for being a fickle fan. However, looking at the past few results people must realise this guy is going to blow the money and can't motivate the players we already have. Pardew will tkae us down ! He needs to go!

I agree on you how he can't motivate but he can certainly get a team playing quality football. So no way do we want him to go (Unless he does get us relegated.)

So you would rather wait until he gets us relegated before sacking him - thats seems like an asute move - we haven't got the brightest sparks on here today have we?

Why do people get so upset and nasty regarding the RUMOURS pasted on here. It's a RUMOUR site not a FACT 100% site and if it don't happen we are all gonna die. Enjoy it for what it is
