Monroe Transfer

Strangely optimistic and lacking in conspiracy theories for a Parky post. Are you feeling alright?

I was never sure about the guy but the bigger worry for me here (if this is true) is where it leaves us in terms of getting a striker in. I mean, it sounded like a done deal. Just the formalities left to conclude. Now we're apparently back to nothing again and I'm worried that we'll end up getting no-one.

Bet they'll love knowing that you're getting their pics off Facebook and sharing them in the Belta Minge thread. Should link them.

Must win.

Nothing to do with the fact that they seem to play better when he;s not in the team?

Sounds like your wife is planning an affair with her tbh.

Bendtner was filmed begging for free pizza in Dernmark the other week because he had no money

I bet Stevie feels a little awkward now.

Still yet to read anything that betters Rhys' meltdown from the previous page.

He's wound Richards up.

Who do you take after?

Have a few fair tabloids saying it, which do of course have no reliability either, but it's the same as all transfer rumours isn't it? Until something comes out from either the player or two clubs theres nothing that's all that concrete. The mails the only decent one i could find on short notice but the rumours been floating around for a few weeks. http://www.dailymail...ik-Pieters.html But that's what they do. They put 2 and 2 together as it were, and come out with something like this: "Newcastle need a left-back. Taiwo is getting frustrated with a lack of games. So let's make up a story linking the two together. You never know, it might pay off and actually happen despite our no doubt complete lack of evidence/quotes to support such an idea". It's just cheap and easy journalism that people will buy into because they like the idea and it's something to talk about. That 'Sportsmail Reporter' is one of the worst, constant rumours every day. No better in my opinion than those services Sky and the BBC run where you can text in transfer rumours during windows. Ever wondered why the journo is anonymous?

Either way we need a left back. Transfer window incomings and - potentially - outgoings will define our season.

I can't see it happening because I'm only aware of the Daily Mail running the story. I know this sounds patronising but it does astound me that people pay any respect whatsoever to that paper and the stories they come out with.

Haven't seen any sources on this that are any more reliable than Wikipedia tbh.

We should get his mate instead from them instead, some young Canadian guy:

In the company of... Scholes? Kevin?

Sammi's quite fast like although looks like one of those who takes a bit to get into his stride. A bit moot anyway like seeing as Obertan doesn't seem to want to use his pace, even when he the full-back is isolated. Yup, exactly. People might blame it on a lack of confidence and I appreciate that some in the stands aren't helping matters, but he's had more than enough chances to build his confidence up. He's not at Man Utd any more, with the demoralising effect of hardly ever playing.

Some amusing stuff in there.

If Perch deserves a chance than so does Kadar, agreed.

Is Obertan really faster than Sammy? I mean all Obertan does is run a bit, stop, play it back/lose the ball.

At centre-half? Mind, Obertan should be decent in the air, what with his massive fucking heed. I meant in the 11, I'm assuming one of Williamson or Colo will take the other CB spot if not the both of them together.

Still reckon Pardew will persist with Obertan and Perch.
