Apparently it's just a precaution. You know the season's about to start when our players start to injure themselves though.

No one is acting like that at all. But it makes more sense to start the season with your full squad, and a decent compliment of strikers. It's perfectly possible that Wigan could beat us, and it's also true that we'd have a better chance of beating them with top class strikers to put away the chances.

That's right, Alan. You single-handedly saved the club from another foreigner. Gold star. 177975[/snapback] We baulked at the price and Freddy asked Oliver to give him a good face-saving excuse in the form of that story. PLAUSIBLE CONSPIRACY.

snob 177890[/snapback] If you say so. They're horrible things, packed with smelly people. Yuck! 177902[/snapback] You'll quite happily jump on the Metro though? 177971[/snapback] No, I reluctantly jump on the Metro.

I dont seem to remember asking you any questions? 177970[/snapback] See? THAT is what sounding like Leazes Mag sounds like. Now don't accuse me of that again.

You sound like LeazesMag. Change the record man. 177952[/snapback] Do you think we should still be scouting Kuyt now? A yes or no answer will do. No doubt you won't answer the question! 177959[/snapback] I would personally want to see him in a few more friendlies tbh. 177962[/snapback] When you've answered my questions, maybe I'll answer yours. And don't talk to me about Renton's medical qualifications.

No-go on Camara then. Good. And we're still scouting Kuyt......

Can anyone remember The Amazing Mute on the SMB? Had a class avatar of a bloke with his mouth bound and would reply in perfectly serious threads just going "Mmmmf fmmmmf mmmmmfffffff".

That's set to change when you get your horny devil thing written on your car.

Easily solved by talking to the player. Of course that would mean making an official approach for him, which I believe we have pencilled in for the 31st of August. 177911[/snapback] No one knows what's going on behind the scenes. As I've said, if the window closes and we haven't got anyone, I'll be as crestfallen as anyone. But if we have to play the Wigan game with Shola and Luque rather than just buying a player for the sake of it, then so be it. 177915[/snapback] If we'd made an official approach and had a bid accepted, we'd all know about it. Things are quiet because not much is happening. Why that is, I don't know, but I don't reckon we've had a bid accepted for any strikers. Inter aren't going to keep quiet and allow us to do a deal on the sly, as it's not in their interests. 177920[/snapback] If it was Souness in charge you wouldn't be saying this But he is right: 177934[/snapback] We haven't had a bid accepted. FACT!

Harsh Times does look good. I like Christian Bale. Apart from Batman. That wasn't very good.

See you at one in future then Bobby. Aye alex, Trent sounds good.

Li3nz invested in the Nokia Brick iirc.

to tell the truth? totko tbh. 177885[/snapback] Aye, what's totko though? 177889[/snapback] takes one to know one. you jug eared, slack jawed half-wit. 177891[/snapback] totko!

I simply won't travel by bus.

Got my fingers burnt. Plus I just think we're incapable as a club of handling the whole concept of transfer windows. Until we work out how they work and how the different stages affect player's values etc., we'll repeat these mistakes again and again. You get in early, get what you want, and then you add finishing touches if someone becomes available. You do NOT do all your business in the last two weeks.

Transport links are good, Renton? My immediate thought was bus-tastic to get there from town, plus taxis from town would cost a mint. Too far out for my liking if you have any links with Newcastle.

Oh Christ, is this someone HTT likes to write pages of footballing cliches about. "Good touch, fantastic engine, natural born finisher, range of passing, great feet, aerial ability yadda yadda yadda, Hughie Gallagher". I look forward to that one. 177801[/snapback] Fair play to HTT for this http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/....html#msg512952 and proof positive that he browses Toontastic first for a bit of decent football craic before he goes on N-O.

Not half as confusing as your post! WTF?! Take a deep breath and explain it again.

Bung it Gemmills way to help with his spaz feet and waist issues. 177845[/snapback] Shut it, hairy shoulders - like a hobbit on a rack! Anyway, is that the Gazelle, spongebob? Did the bloke with the pony tail that was advertising it not put you off?

Dotbum, have you just changed the B of Bum to a capital or has it always been that way? Anyway, surely your faith in Roeder must be on the wane now. We're now onto at least the third of fourth list of players he was after. Maybe if we'd pulled our finger out when Defoe first got sent home by Sven........
