It's really ridiculous. You think with a global financial meltdown, loads of clubs not being too well of financially, prices should drop to a more sane level, but it looks like the market isn't recovering. A record fee for a German under-19 international who (despite his talent) hasn't even been considered for a higher level so far is also laughable. Especially from a continental point of view where prices are on a completely different level/planet.

It's hopefully going to be a year full of holiday trips for me. Already spent some days on Malta early in January. Then a trip to Andalucia is already booked for the first week of June. In August we'll go to England + sailing. Crazy plan is to maybe fly to New Zealand at the end of the year. In between I'll have to rob some banks though...

Tbh, I'd laugh. Serves the fat football murderer Sam right that his former club starts splashing the cash when he's gone...

Keegan Returns There's quite a few comments in there predicting it would end badly. Some said it. And I doubt anyone had in mind that it would end because the owner would behave like a clueless numpty with a bunch of monkeys incapable of running a football club.

There can only be one. I am a big fan of Keegan don't get me wrong but we all knew bringing him back was a mistake and we knew it would end badly, we need to move on and look to the future. We need to establish stability and actually create a scenario that offers the manager something to work with. What a load of rubbish.

I'd rather have signed Streit tbh.

Tbh there are loads of things that can be hold against Ratzinger, but the repeated reference to his time in the Hitler youth is not fair as the membership was mandatory at the time of his youth and hardly anybody could avoid it.

Blah.

The thing is though that we are much more desperate in other positions. Lovenkrands won't single handedly change the shape of the team. He might provide some width and pace, but I am not sure that he will offer anything that our current wing players including Duff are already doing. He has to make a huge step up in form from his Schalke days to help the team at all. But I am desperate to be provren wrong.

Who would work with him? He treats his shareholders like shit, treats the fans like shit and treats his staff like shit. I suppose there's a chance of an Ashley / Kemsley dream time. Aye, another 'bonus', following on from what I said about the reputation of the club at present and those in charge, is that Ashley has seemingly built up a terrible name for himself in financial circles as well. I think that's why he was looking for a north-east based business man. He'll only find someone who is willing to invest in "his" club. Not likely the way Ashley treated it. But without third party cash injection I can hardly see how Newcastle will restore its reputation on the field.

Hurra. I expect sooooo much from his looking back at his time at Schalke....

Then I take it all back, the mans obviously a saint who bought us purely to ensure that a national institution and household name didnt die. Sorry for calling you a fat twat Ash..... I'm not saying he is- he's a prime grade cock- but that's the reality of the situation. Underlines his desperation to beg for co-investors last summer, something he should concentrate on after strengthening the first team. The finances look very rotten. It's absolutely shocking that a squad that is as thin as ours creates such an unhealthy wage bill. No wonder the club tries to squeeze every penny (change of telephone numbers) out of people to make money...

Probably a consortium lead by Lörrach Zeitung and Lukas Ramsauer...

He might actually start to play well and it becoming difficult to push him out of the team?

10 didn't he? http://www.gazzetta.it/speciali/2008/calci..._c19_t603.shtml

Utter nonsense tbh. Aye, he's worse. He's a fucking big carthorse who would be an absolute shite signing. I know you have seen him more than me, but the numerous times I've seen him (setanta showed a load of German games) he didn't impress me at all (confirmed by his performances at the euros). Leaving his indeed absolutely shambolic performances at the Euros aside, saying that he didn't impress you in the German league or in European cup games for that matter is just mind boggling tbh.

Utter nonsense tbh.

Which one is Joe Kinnear? You're a c**t.

How someone could get it so right first and then get everything totally wrong is beyond me.

He's free to talk to clubs about a move in the summer when he isn't contracted to any club any more, but normal rules apply for immidiate transfers, i.e. a club having to purchase the player's registration from another club, don't they?

Pinocchio wept.

Now we'll win da league man...
