the 'new drogba' .... what a fucking title to tag the lad with . he will go down great here when he's as shit as drogba was when he first arrived , that pricetag is a bit of a kick in the nuts aswell after the modric deal

Its like he never left !!! these last few years (bar bobby ) have just been one big hangover ! this is where the 'its got tobe one of us' mentality some toon fans have with managers comes from , kev and bobby always knew not to talk shit to us .

bad for the league this kind of thing , how the hell can you sack a guy whos put your team in their highest prem finish in his first season . if i was a city fan id be hitting the board where it hurts , a boycot on a match or something , i wouldnt be comfortable with that owner in charge of my club , and do eveything i could to get the point across . his agent says he's staying aye , sounds like he's waiting for the big payoff tbh due to how all this is went down , saying that he woulda waited for the big payoff regardless .

ashton is brilliant imo , just his injurys that would worry me .

was assumed zoggy was off to spurs when we were thought tobe landing modric , deal doesnt seem likely now like does it , wonder who willie will pimp him to , whu ?

its been the boards failt (you don't know cos you weren't there) morts a scrooge and think's he can fart around on deals and nobody else will come in on them (err you don't know cos you weren't there) spurs have mugged him twice now (again, you don't know cos you weren't there on either occasion) So thats bollocks based on bollocks all knowledge (cos you weren't there) honest , read the thread mate , cbh getting into it with you . Ahh so its ok to destroy my post earlier in the thread because i was using theory and conjecture to make a point but your post which is similar (although the spelling, punctuation and grammar look pre-infant school) is above reproach - I have read the thread and was taking part in it to congratulate stevie and your sly dig was uncalled for im dyslexic actually , something that doesnt bother me as much as it seems to you . on one hand i often have arseholes with nothing better to say bringing it up , on the other there isnt a person i know that is better with math than me , you win some you lose some . you wernt there , you werent there !! , my spelling and grammer may look pre school , but you do a great job of looking like a wanker . ffs why did i even let you get me to derail the thread

i think a manager is the best person to sell this club to players on the fence about comming here . keegan knows he's had no part in the transfers , the we have lost 3 targets thing to me sounds like a 'sort it out you muppets' nudge from keegan . alot of verbal pingpong going on between mort and keegan aswell , bean counter says dont expect big signings , kev says were gonna bring big players in . kev's also throwing lots of things around regarding cash he has to spend in the summer 100mills 250 mills , reminding them how much other teams are intending to spend , comes off to me like hes telling them they need to spend bigger than whats being implied to him . we'll see what happens , but keegans defo playing to the fans thru the media . very similar to the moves allerdyce was pulling last transfer window .

couple of rag's out there saying were gonna let faye goto blackburn if we land dunne , not sure bout that like ! wonder if they want rozy instead .

good buy imo , kev obv wants to work with him again aswell so that says alot also . edgar may turn out alright , but id never want to see him and tayls together for a few seasons yet .

these last couple of games have been lucky , fine by me like cos ive not known the toon tobe lucky for a good while . but i can see us getting the wind knocked outa our sails these next two games , hope not like as wins or draws against these two would well light a rocket up our arse . whats with kev always rubbing the backs of managers heads after a match aswell ? funny to watch like, but i know myself id fucking hate it !

god knows what fergies playing at lately , he builds a team full of youth and attacking flair , then sends them out to play like an allerdyce team when they face the big boys, they have been so lucky with it its sick . the more money thats came into the prem these past few years , the more we see teams to scared to go out and play incase they get beat , prem status is worth to much to some teams to gamble , so we get our allerdyces of the world being thrown up on a pedistal , the same fucking journos will be the ones saying the prems got boring soon .

Jesus fucking wept, it must be fucking true What a big pile of steaming hot, shit stirring shite. id 100% agree if this whole deal didnt look as if its went down like that , im no itk , but i get a couple of titbits here and there , and apparently half our squad thought it was a done deal aswell as keegan .

dont shoot the messanger notw http://blogs.notw.co.uk/sport/2008/04/keegan-modric-f.html

i know i know 'newcastle insider' horlicks again . but im a no smoke without fire person , obv its dressed up to seem more sensational , but no smoke no fire .

its been the boards failt , morts a scrooge and think's he can fart around on deals and nobody else will come in on them . spurs have mugged him twice now . modric chose nobody , his club did that for him .

Yeah it seems like either we were simply used to bump up the price or pressure Spurs in a deal that was actually effectively already done, or a stupid bidding war where quite quickly you'll end up paying exceptional prices for only pretty good players (and even if he IS very good, it doesn't mean he'll work in the Premiership - much bigger and genuinely better haven't). It'll be an interesting summer now, given that even O'neill at villa is talking about capturing Henry and challenging the top 4 now. All clubs have to pay over the odds now to get the very top players or the real prospects. Fair point but I think we've had our hands burned more than most clubs so I can understand their cautiousness when going in for these so called 'real prospects', after all thats all Modric is. (see Viana) modrics alot more proven than viana ever was like .

so matter of fact , with fuck all knowledge of what went on .

i think he just wanted to goto a good club tbh , and let his old club get as good a deal as possible , its our money men to blame , i doubt zagrab didnt come back to us with a chance to offer more , i just think we didnt .

from what i can gather , modric didnt have much choice of where he was going , spurs reps flew out to zagreb and signed the deal off . he'd been pimped around and got told where he was going . i think we thought we'd have more time , i hope they didnt like cos thats a bad sign for things to come , unless they wise up (sorry, had to)

Ill take that tyvm

was oba that was trying to force it there , first goal was lovely , one on one with the keeper and lifts it over him , second it was oba trying for the long shots again , fluffed it but ended up with geremi .
