  1. I had a longer post in mind, but this sums it up. Of course we're an attractive prospect to players, fucking churlish to say otherwise.
  2. Know someone who had to sell their deceased parent's now empty house. First offer was 5% under asking price, which panicked them a bit, but a week later they'd had a flurry of viewing and ended up getting an offer 5% over the asking price. Dead nice too as the buyers wrote a letter saying how they'd fell in love with the place the minute the walked through the door, they plan to keep it as is (there was a worry the house would be knocked down and the land used for flats or a couple of new build houses or whatever) and the sellers would be welcome to pop in for a cuppa whenever they like. Fuck the South, Northerners are much nicer.
  3. Who do you reckon we'll sell, and how much will we get for them? de Jong - £5m Saivet - £3m Riviere - £1.5m Satka - £0 Toney - £0.5m Armstrong? - £1.5m Vuckic - £0.25m ------- Sels - £4m Haidara - £1m Gamez -£0m Good - £0m Hanley? - £3m Colback - £4m Anita - £0m Ameobi - £3m Gouffran - £0m Aarons? - £1m Murphy - £1m transfermarkt puts their respective market values as above. I've adjusted a few because of their age, contract status or performances (all negatively). Returns about £28m None of them are first team, and few should even get in the squad. That'd do, right?
  4. Haven't we already had that cash? You're right about the perception that there's some huge gap between top of the Championship and bottom of the Premier League. Look at Burnley, Bournemouth, Hull, Watford, and so on, they've got some absolutely garbage "Premier League" players. Chris Brunt, Marc Albrighton, Jeff Hendrick, Dean Marney? Nah, they're "Premier League" players, so better than Jonjo Shelvey, Matt Ritchie or Hayden.
  5. Brighton will beat Villa. Put your house on it.
  6. Bear in mind Karanka and Dyche had longer to build their squad than Benitez has. So while their net spend this season is sizeable, that's on top of previous windows.
  7. How low cut was your blouse?
  8. Well, shall we wait for him to confirm? Rather than putting words in his mouth? Would that be a responsible thing to do Rayvin? It would, wouldn't it?
  9. guess we'll just have to wait for @@Happy Face
  10. Where's Happy Face with that graph showing transfer spend? Have we made sufficient profit in the previous windows to have 'banked' about £70m? Or maybe NUFC allocate a set amount of money from their revenue for transfers each season, say £30m?
  11. Anybody heard anything about it being shown in 9 Bar?
  12. Mentioned it on the recording last night.
  13. You cheating at Football Manager again?
  14. Wait, they're not? Hold my beer, I've got to update my "shipping Shit footballers and pop stars" scrapbook.
  15. Surely when Pardew is on talkSport there'll be a stack of fans from his old teams who're keen to remind the world he's hated by them, and there'll be a stack of fans who want to get on National Radio to agree with whatever he's just made up?
  16. Some mindset as the goons who invite Joey Barton on Question Time. Less about the guest providing some insight, more about courting controversy.If nothing else, Pardew is a divisive figure.
