Christmas Tree

us or Fulham.......upto player

ruiz bid accepted

So, three lovely pints down and still nowt happening. Simpson staying put and Newcastle still have one last pipeline open? Is that about it? Is Tecato ok?

@marcjthursby marc j thursby @SunSteveBrenner uncles a taxi driver and he has just told me that he dropped Yousi Benayoun at NUFC training ground... maybe for a medical? Not me.

Starting to get a touch of the Tecatos Thank god Im off out for a few hours. It will all seem better after 3 or 4 sherrys.

Assuming it was that player to watch one, it doesn't count for a lot. Seeing highlights on MOTD would give you a better idea, seeing the whole game live more so, watching him in the flesh more again. You could glean virtually nothing from the clip I've seen though. This is a bit daft though, isn't it? It essentially boils down to CT making the claim he could be better than Robert for us. The clear argument against being that he's on about somebody you can pretty much guarantee he's knows fuck all about It was a general comment not related to Marveaux. Whole game and in the flesh agreed but if its only limited highlights you can't really say its much different. It doesnt matter where you see a player, if you see examples of his technique, close control etc it doesnt really matter it still 'counts', just not as much as whole games and in the flesh. The idea that footage uploaded to a particular website is inadmissable evidence seems a bit odd. Doesnt count for much but it still counts. Don't think 2bias meant 'nothing' literally tbf, more like what you say, i.e. it counts for very little. You tend to find out more about a player from watching him on MOTD a few times than a compilation though, imo. Especially the compilation I saw. If there's another one out there where he's banging them in from 35 yards and whipping great crosses in though I'll concede the Robert comparison has some merit. It just baffles me where you get all this from CT and your not the only one. Surely if he is as good as you say he would of had a call up by now, granted he has been injured the last year or so but before? If you were some ligue 1 guru then fair enough I could accept what you say about him but my guess is you aren't Fuck it your prediction is going in my signature. Which bit didnt you understand in the five or six points listed????? Can I suggest you do a bit of your own research on the player then come back and tell us what YOU think And if you need to guess about me being a ligue 1 guru then you need to pay more attention

Neilfarrington Neil Farrington Talk of #nufc interest in Bryan Ruiz is from TC Tubantia newspaper - not a title given to idle speculation. #jptransfers

Asides from having nearly a 1in2 goal ratio for every club he's been at and in a few different leagues?, i'd say that meets your very first point Apart from that, what have the romans........

Go and do your nails then.

See bold bits not that i'm saying he's shite, but your reasoning is silly Im sorry like, but my reasoning is better than your anti reasoning It doesnt take a PHD in european football to understand that until a year or so ago, this lad was shit hot (according to lots of sources) While youtube is no way definitive, it still lets you have a look at a players style of play. (You used it yourself yesterday to highlight Santons weaknesses at left back) The Beardsley point is daft. He made two, scored one and hugely impressed all who saw. Was still on verge of signing several weeks ago having impressed their scouts etc. The scunny game was a tough game, but he did show glimpses (even though he was far from match fit) of the skill he has. The point is without either of us being pedantic, this lad has a lot going in his favour and IMO (brain size of pea disclaimer etc etc) he will be fantastic for us.

He may be even better. Aye and he most probably will be alot fucking worse. You don't half post some shite CT; so now Marveaux is the new Laurent Robert then? based on one good game in the reserves, you just don't have a clue do you? Mug. There are a few which seem to follow this trend. What annoys me is people thinking this guy should just walk into the first team based on nothing. I didn't think he looked that impressive against a League 1 side tbh. Isn't about ten months since he played a proper game? Dont Worry, you'll be drooling over him by Christmas #Prediction Based on what!!! Nothing. YouTube does not count. His form up until the last year The evidence of his style of play on You Tube The way Beardsley and the journos were Jizzing about him after his reserve game The fact he was on the verge of signing at Liverpool The glimpses of skill that he showed against Scunny A bit more than "nothing" in his favour. Demba Ba looked canny for West Ham. I can't say the same here so far, in fact he couldn't get in ahead of a Lovenkrands Best front two. It's what he does now not then that matters. Demba Ba meets none of the points I highlighted above.

Right, been nice knowing you guys. Have some faith man, "get some NUTS"..... We will get a striker.

MsiDouglas Mark Douglas Frayed nerves at SJP, I'm told. Cisse desperate to come but deal seems dead - Macheda's ppl pushing a loan deal. Plenty unconvinced on him

Must say Im very proud of myself not posting Cwarrs tweets on who we've signed today.

Helicopter seen leaving Spurs training ground.......

@lee_ryder Lee Ryder #nufc Hearing NUFC bid for Papiss Demba Cisse was more than £10million, Freiburg wanted closer to over £15million

Happy Birthday yer twat

Caulkins crack today is pretty good.

David Craig saying that Llambias rang him at 4.30am today just to see if he was up! Llambias apparently down south trying to tie something up. (At Mikes gaff probably).

Of course they do, thats why we are having bids knocked back left, right and centre. (Thats not giving them an out btw. Should have been sorted long before today).

If we're linked with Cole, when we don't sign him, it'll be like a new signing. Very good

For those who like a little lunchtime abuse. @lee_ryder Lee Ryder Going to be answering your questions on @EveningChron live transfer blog at 12.30 #nufc
