Yes, that's exactly how Keegan said the board is doing transfer deals... Think times have moved on a bit since Keegan but hey ho. It was you who suggested that anything else than the scenario you described is "living in the world of fantasy football and not real life". I do neither see that "virtually every other club in the country" is doing business the way you describe nor do I see evidence that this is how Newcastle acted in the past and is doing it right now.

Maybe they wouldnt but both will be without a club and both are the wrong side of 30. Klose has an offer from Bayern for another year with an automatic extension of another year if he plays a certain amount of games. He hasn't signed yet and is looking for other options as he wants a 2-year deal. I doubt a "pay as you play deal" at Newcastle is exactly what he is after...

Trochowski has already signed for Sevilla.

Happy Birthday!

If I got a pound for every of these insider stories, I probably could buy the club myself by now...

The staff should demand compensation as well tbh. Numpties.

Have an olive. Gardening advices for growing olive trees under difficult climatic conditions, now there is an idea...

I want my 15 seconds back.

is he. I don't why I find that funny, I just do. Canny job that like, even in Germany. Must be on at least £100k a year. It would need a lot of brown envelopes for that tbh...

He's having a trial at Dortmund now. Apparently he said on his Facebook page that he is keen to join them.

Sorry, don't have much time to post these days, too busy locking away people and other personal stuff. You shouldn't tell Austrians that they are basically Germans - that's something they really don't like. For us, I guess, they are our second favourite country for invasions... Austrian football is horrible. The atmosphere in the stadiums is even more tedious than in Germany. Quality wise I don't think there is too much difference between Austria and Belgium. On a good day players like Harnik, Arnautovic, Alaba can be decent, but more often they are rather shite.

Ah, the twat is opening his gob again. I think it's very likely Keegan would have not resigned had the clubs not employed this cancer.

Use Firefox + Foxyproxy

Where did I say that I do not like the deal or that it is not a good thing?

So we'll get double the money in the summer. Great!

Jesus sobbed Hatem Ben Arfa too.

Hmm, planning gardening

So basically he is aware that he could get sacked rather sooner than later...

Good result. Solid performance. How much this is down to Pardew I don't know. He's still getting the deficit of the c*nt from me tbh. Could be different if he can also get the team to play football with a decent style. So far it's still too ordinary for my liking. This isn't entirely down to Pardew though tbf. I wonder what not only one or two decent strikers would add to the team but especially how a really creative player can change the style. I think we are actually just an Arfa away from distancing us from the teams of the bottom half of the table, depending on him actually being able to recover from his injury.

Obviously scouting via wikipedia is even shitter than scouting by youtube like, but if he has any of the above qualities get the lad in! Was decent for Dortmund a couple of years ago, but his career went downhill afterwards. Was horrible when he was loaned to Stuttgart a couple of seasons ago.

Quelle surprise...

Aye, unless you believe this happened in 7 or so minutes *plays Benny Hill theme*
