I honestly believe that. I can also imagine that money changed hands, if you know what I mean.

I'm sure the money's needed to pay Ameobi's wages for the next ten years or something

Rumoured to be on a fortune which would make sense as I think at least a Spanish 2nd division side would've taken him if that wasn't the case. Makes sense. I just find it weird he's never been given a run to prove whether or not he's got the chops. As it is he's just been packed off to Spain, no doubt with us paying part of his wages, and we pretend he doesn't exist.

Goodwillie sounds like the man for a spit roast

It does Hold the relish?

thats an interesting point, if a parent company owns the stadium then its highly possible (I assume) that any payments for stadium branding etc are being made to them? Presumably it would still need to be disclosed in SD's accounts though?

I agree, but they made an exception for Sol Campbell. It is one of those policies which is absolutely sacrosanct, except when it is not. Short term deal sounds fine to me, even if only for a year while the new guys settle - assuming he doesn't drive them all out! Even if we offered him such a deal, which seems unlikely as people have said, would Bellamy accept it? He's probably good enough to get a longer deal elsewhere, plus I'd expect he harbours a grudge against the club after being forced out. Of course anything's possible in the kerraazy world of NUFC but I can't see it myself.

Is that real or a comment on Kool & the Gang? I always liked Peter and Test Tube Babies as a band name.

Good on you for putting your kids first and hope it all works out

Xisco must surely be one of the worst signings we've made in recent years. No goals, virtually never played for us in fact, no shirt sales, no-one knows who he is, no-one interested in buying him, no interest in retaining him or giving him a run at the team. Something rotten about that transfer imo.

Thrush and the Cunts? How did they not make it big, I wonder?!

Super size your own bitch I did, fat cow can't get out the kitchen Handy if you fancy putting some meat in a sandwich, I suppose

Thanks Sammy I'll save those for later. I reckon there must be lots of stupid Kiwi band names actually, they're so unbothered about being cool. I always thought Th' Dudes name was particularly shit because of the apostrophe. Obviously I couldn't say that out loud here for fear of getting lynched.

The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, anyone?

Ooh you are awful, but I like you!

Yes, I'm afraid you've hit rock bottom

Super size your own bitch

I'm with the folks above, I'd take him back on a short term deal but there's no chance of it happening. I'd also take back Bassong.

I think the correct reponse was "Want fries with that?"

Healthy bank balance, lets not go squandering it on players and the like, simply leave the money in there to collect interest. If it was upto Nick theyd play the game with accountants not players. 11 pen pushers to a team, first to consolidate the outgoings wins the match. Thrilling stuff TOON TOON! Black and white balance sheet TOON TOON! Black and white balance sheet

Meenzer is slightly nicer. Nicos, Alex and Kitman are also charming personage. Why thank you Mr P, the feeling's mutual. This place is poorer when certain folks are absent, and you're one of them

For the record nick, I've disagreed with just about everything you've ever said on here.

I think he's a tit but it's not exactly been handled well (assuming that is from the official club mouthpiece aka Thompson House). I suspect they've just reached the end of their tether with him. I remember reading that he's a poor trainer, turning up late and not prepared to put in extra to improve his skills. It's probably that more than anything which has done for him, he should be working every hour that god sends to force his way into the first team. Instead he's posing for pictures looking like a tit. It annoys me that he probably doesn't realize how lucky he is and by the sound of it won't put the effort in to make the most of his talent. How do you think he could've been handled better? Sounds like Nolan offered to help him and pardew gave him a few second chances. But ranger was too conceited or thick to put the effort in, is my impression. Maybe that's unfair, I'm just going on what I've read. Hard to say but it's (slightly) shades of Bellamy whereby by making it clear they're desperate to get rid of him it reduces any bargaining power we have. Very true. Sounds like we accepted the first offer that came along too.
