Caulkin reckons it'll be announced tomorrow that he's signed a permenant deal.
-
The team was playing with so much confidence and skill under Keegan.
Such a shame the way it unfolded.
-
When he made his debut against Man Utd at Old Trafford, I thought we'd signed one of the greatest players in our history. Hard to recall a better debutant against such formidable opposition. Sadly he's never lived up to that level, he's inconsistent and for all his build up play is often very good, the key thing you need from a winger is distribution and end product. It's why Beckham was for a while regarded as the best in the world in his position because no one else delivered quality as frequently as him. Jonas doesn't deliver, his crosses are hit and hopes on the occasions he actually gets himself in to a position to get a cross in. He seems a lovely bloke Jonas, he's a very clean player for an Argie, but I'm at the end of my tether with him, particularly the last 2 or 3 months, he doesn't shoot enough as well. We need to replace him I'm afraid.
We did, and then he broke his leg....
Aye he's not an out and out winger though and I don't think he was bought as Jonas replacement specifically, we need to find the new Ryan Giggs.
A quick Google of 'The New Ryan Giggs' suggests Adam Johnson (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1250567/Adam-Johnson-new-Ryan-Giggs-claims-Manchester-City-boss-Roberto-Mancini.html)
Problem solved.

NEWCASTLE United’s second attempt to sign Robbie Keane this season is in doubt as Tottenham Hotspur
would like to sell the striker rather than loan him to a Premier League rival.
Keane turned down a move to St James’ Park just before deadline day in August but, as The Journal revealed last week, the Magpies are looking into the possibility of making a fresh bid for the Republic of Ireland international.
The 30-year-old has been cast aside by Spurs boss Harry Redknapp and, having initially decided to fight for his place rather than move to Tyneside in the summer, Keane is desperate to leave in the upcoming window.
United have some competition for his signature as West Ham, Birmingham City and his former club Wolverhampton Wanderers are also interested, although it remains to be seen whether they are willing to offer the sort of money Tottenham are looking for to sell him.
Newcastle are not keen on a permanent deal as the player’s wage demands are high and, at his age, there will be little sell-on value. A fee of around £3m would also put a massive dent in Alan Pardew’s limited mid-winter transfer budget.
However, the United boss knows he needs to try and bolster his goal threat to ease the pressure on Andy Carroll’s young shoulders and Keane is a proven top-flight goalscorer and he is available, two things that rarely go hand-in-hand in the January window.
United have refused to confirm or deny whether they are ready to make a second offer for the former Coventry City and Inter Milan star with a club source insisting yesterday it was just a “rumour” at this stage. But Pardew is definitely looking to sign another striker in January and, although Newcastle also made bids for Manchester City’s Craig Bellamy and Liverpool’s David Ngog, Keane would appear to be the only one of that trio who will be allowed to move clubs in the New Year.
Although Peter Løvenkrands, Nile Ranger and Leon Best offer cover for a first-choice pairing of Shola Ameobi and Andy Carroll, none of that trio have proven themselves in the top flight.
-
Should, but dont.
Can see us going along the lines of:
Krul
Simpson Taylor Colo Jose
Routledge Barton Tiote Jonas
Nolan
Shola
Why is it never the fucking shit players who get injured (Shola aside).
-
so we're spending 5m now on a deal that doesn't have to be done (and probably would've been anyways) till the summer
what excellent news and a perfect story to use to shut up the transfer talk earlier about why we're not spending!
Can't be transferred twice in 12 months can you....? Means if we go down, he has to stay for the Championship party.
-
Just looked in here and the stand out game for me has to be Arsenal away, yes I loved us battering the Mackems, but the game against Arsenal showed the team fought for each other for 90 minutes, not many teams win at the emirates and to come away with a clean sheet was a top top performance
To limit them to two attempts on target (IIRC) was phenominal.
-
Don't see what's too wrong with that. Basically saying that he doesn't expect the likes of Real Madrid or Chelsea to come calling, and he's happy where he is, and wouldn't move to a team that he sees on a level pegging with us.
Well maybe its just me but I dont like to hear our players talk like that.
Neither do I, but it's a fact of life that unless you're a lifelong mag, if Real Madrid etc came knocking you'd be off in a shot (see Woodgate - even Bobby told him he should go).
-
If we take the Mackems game out of it, i'd say Villa. That Carew penalty could have defined our season, but we got a bit of luck with that and thoroughly pounded them for the following 80 mins.
Goal of the year for me though was Ben Arfa, closely followed by Rangers goal at Chelsea (best team goal we've scored in years), Enriques (for the pure celebration) and Ryan Taylors at Accrington - what a hit!

Not being funny but there will only be one winner.
Take it the 3-0 defeat at Derby isn't in the running then

I think Steve Gibson has to offer free blow jobs from S-Club Juniors to get Boro fans to go to the Riverside if Sunderland are struggling to bring them in.
FYP

Guess Matt Cardle will be after a season ticket then...
-
Would want big wages and don't see who he'd displace in the starting XI.
No thanks.
-
I have one ticket for the Mackems away game. It is from my mate who has to work over in Ireland so can't make the game.
He said he will sell to the highest bidder. This is not me selling it or i would have offered face value! not into rippin supporters off!
So please feel free to put an offer in and i will let you know.
Thanks
Fuck off.

Think it shows how good these lads have been that the highest scoring midfielder in the league has got 1 vote so far.
-
Tiote.
We saw at Bolton what happens when he's not in the team.
-
Decent signing to have on a free for a year. We'll need two new CB's in the summer though when he and Taylor both go. Not to mention the other positions that already need strengthening.
-
Is it that Sheffield Wednesday fan mate? If it is they have more skeletons in their closet than Fred West on this front, as have every team in the country. Man Utd have had the best support since Munich no one can deny it, they've had leanish times by their standards and they were always number one, but I believe in terms of loyalty no one can ever touch us, you just need to remind yourself that we have 40 year old people on here who have never had us win one trophy in their life time, and you'd have to be at least 50 to remember the Fairs Cup.
Nah its a man city supporting lad.
The Wednesday fan was giving me jip the other day though, then proceeded to tell me how class they were after beating Bristol Rovers

McKeag
A bit more detail....?
Can't believe how little I actually know about what went on.....
-
May get a bit of jip for this, but it was 'before my time', but why did we only have attendences of 16,000 in 1990?

Wouldn't mind a bit of a Stevie rant here, as i've got a few mates having a go because of it!
-
I'd be 100% behind them if they went on strike.
-
Francis Jeffers
Bowdewijn Zenden
If we had got these two clowns we'd never have had Bellamy and Robert.

Steep stands/Good atmosphere is about the only thing going for the Mestalla. It's falling apart, just a concrete bowl, and fuck all near it except a club shop the size of the eldon square toon one.
Still better than Levante's shit hole though
