Proper Geordies like myself already had their passports out.

Dempsey doesn't play the same way as any of those. You want him brought in to play in Jonas' role in the 4-3-3 but want him to play entirely differently? There's better signings about, it's a daft suggestion for NUFC.

He is a good player. He's also 29. I know that players can keep their form going as they age but it's a risk that's not worth taking for daft Premier League prices IMO, especially when our scouting system has proven to be so adept at spending money well. I meant Dempsey is the type of signing Liverpool will make based on a season of good form btw, not that he's as average as Adam, man. Howay. Magnificent is definitely overstating it as well, mind Xavi is a magnificent player, Dempsey is a good PL player, having a good season in a side basically built around him. You won't get him for £10 million either. My point is that there's absolutely no suggestion he'll do it in our style of play, you're shoe-horning him into a position where you limit his goal potential (ball-winning midfielder sitting deep in a midfield 3) and if he doesn't do well, you've got him until he's 33, probably on big wages and it's money you could have spent elsewhere. I'd rather spend that £10 million on full-backs. I think Cabaye will prove to be better in that advanced CM role anyway FWIW

Guthrie, Abeid, Vuckic, Gosling, Perch? If Guthrie goes, they'll get another CM. Why spend £12/15 million on a 29 year old?

Agreed. People forget we've got two young central midfielders coming through who are highly rated too. Strengthen the full back positions, sign a centre half, get a young, hungry striker in and a right winger. That should be the plan if only those expected to leave do so (Lovenkrands, Smith etc.); if Guthrie and/or Simpson go, there should be replacements for them too, obviously. You're looking at about 5/6 players coming in and rightfully so. You don't see Man United uplifting their entire squad every season.

Right, you sign him on a four year deal but he could only have one season left in him? It's mental, man. Exactly the sort of shit the mackems and Liverpool do. Why do that when you could unearth a similar deal to Cabaye? It's short-sighted scouting. Also, Debuchy is a right back, how is he going to help the graft in the middle of the pitch?

How he got another year at Man United is beyond me like. They could have brought in Kevin Davies for a year and he would have given them a better option.

I could do with a ham and peasepudding stottie like, good shout.

I like Dempsey but if he goes anywhere, it'll be to start every game and we'll be held to ransom for him too. I bet he's going to cost upward of £12 million and the bloke is nearly 30 so will want his one final contract. Leave that sort of deal for the sides that can afford to spunk that money away.

Where would Dempsey play like?

Remember, you're allowed to hit two people. Only two though, any more is technically a spree.

This'll be tricky, I think. Playing some good stuff atm and one more win should see them safe IMO so they'll be going for it. Our front 6 is the difference maker though and I'll say that about every remaining game this year. It can do anyone.

This. Our form has bound to have rattled them a bit as well tbh. Arsenal leapfrogged them then Chelsea and ourselves soon snapped at their heels, our form keeps going, Redknapp could be away, the players seem to know it. If it's one of them or all of them, I don't care, it's giving us a chance to be a CL side.

There's loads of players that should be there ahead of Parker. Our first choice CMs are better, Alex Song is better, Modric is better ffs.

If they are to go down, the best thing to do is completely ignore it. We could be 4th, we've far surpassed them.

Krul in Team of the Year or are they going with the easy choice of Hart?

The way this season has went suggests the karma gods will fuck off next season and it'll return to regular NUFC shitcast programming.

If we get CL, I want the hardest group. I want trips to Barca and Bayern.

Unreal that. Pardew is building something here.

£12m for Crouch, either £4 or 5 million for Jerome so that's £16/17 million. Throw in Jones, it goes to £24 million for a combined 28 goals.

And that only works when you bring someone in of equal quality and value, not throwing away £18 million on Crouch and Jerome

Was that before or after West Ham noticed him? Before or after Hoffenheim noticed him? Daft prick.

"And I'll say that to his face, just yee fucking watch, Perchy"

Making steak bakes next week as well. Perfect woman. I bet she loves a good drink as well.

Start it again after you've done it once. That's all I'm saying.
