Monroe Transfer

Someone wants a signed Tiote shirt don't they?

Won't see him for a while.

He put the training codes out and organised the Christmas party etc.

Same. To be perfectly honest, I cried (not full on hysterics but I welled up at the very least) after it. I was completely sober and a reasonably mature teenager so I can't blame that on anything other than my emotions. Was just pathetic how we collapsed. Utterly gutting experience.

I'm wondering when this guy will get a shot at the first team. Full international but all I've really heard about him NUFC-wise is him playing in a pre-season match. Worthy of some hype?

Phil Thompson to be his assistant. Sending my condolences to all Villa fans.

Start a thread about the old board over there and then send Leazes and ASM a link to it. They won't be able to resist the temptation. Send Kevin over there too, Ben Ten and Peppa Pig sound about his level.

Wacky by name...

no. you're a mackem. Erm yes. I am a mackem. Sat here in front of my laptop in a Newcastle shirt. Ignore him.

Re; my striker complaints. Was reading the following earlier. http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastl...61634-27176401/ http://www.journallive.co.uk/north-east-ne...634-27176373/2/ Fair enough and all, but I still think we should have made sure to bring one in. Sounds like the striker loans were only discussed towards the end of the window, with a few bids made earlier on which came to nothing. I guess none came within the budget Ashley set him and I respect that Hughton didn't get a striker in just for the sake of having another, if he's no better than the players already here (I'm sure whoever he had in mind is better than Ameobi and Best with that said).

Going to be fascinating to see how he adjusts not just to the club, but to the English game as a whole. Like the article states, we can only hope that leaving France and making a fresh start over here will improve his temperament and consistency levels.

Looks like one of those England player injunctions is about to end. Rooney has supposedly been at it with a £1000 a night prostitute. Sunday Mirror will post all tomorrow. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=wayne+roo...ved=0CCMQ5QUwAA

Jesus wept.

PM too please.

Mystic Ant. Wide of the mark tbh.

Not worked out exactly as expected for those 3 tbh. Still all more than young enough to go very far. Benzema really needs to get out of Madrid, he looked completely shot of confidence when he came on as a sub against Mallorca the other night. Mourinho coming in should have been a fresh start for him but their relationship is already being tested..

We could sign Messi and Leazes would still find a way to complain and see the absolute worst in anything and everything we've done post-Shepherd era. Decent window to be honest aside from not getting another striker in. Sounding like a broken record here but I'm very worried about our frontline once Carroll gets injured/imprisioned.

We're fucked without Carroll. Really worried about our season now.

No, I don't think Hughton wanted another striker in the first place.

My issues with Hughton's management. 1.) He's not ruthless enough. Certain players get too much gametime. 2.) He constantly bemuses me with his choice of substitutes. Always seems to leave our pace players on the bench when they could add a lot to the team towards the end of matches. 3.) He/we didn't get another striker in. Massive problem to be honest. Aside from Carroll, our usual strikers are either unproven or just not good enough. We can't rely on him and I don't want us to play with 1 man up front anyway. My third reason casts major doubt over our ability to stay in this league to be honest. I don't want to think what it'll be like if we end up relying on the likes of Best and Ameobi to score us goals.

Class.

Really, really disappointed that we didn't bring in another striker. We're absolutely fucked if Carroll gets injured/suspended/imprisoned.

Anyone else seen the press conference he held with Gallas? Refreshing honesty tbh.
