Christmas Tree

Not saying Pardew agrees.

While I agree with that overall, Im still a tad gutted as Mac Toon refers too, that these great scouts who found Ben Arfa and Tiote, didnt have something up their sleeves for January. I do know its not that easy like as well.

Funnily enough..... I had a curry from there last night AND drove past his house in Jarrow yesterday. No sightings though.

????????? Accepted usually means done, does it not? No. Pedantic post of the year award is yours. If Torres was to gan to Chelsea, what d'you think the chances of Anelka becoming available are, maybe even on loan? I'd take him nee danger, all the talk about 'Le Sulk' is bollox according to those who know him. Was some talk on the radio about Anelka going the other way although I'm not sure if that was just Lawrenson on about what Liverpool should do. I'd defo like us to test the water if they get Torres. He's a quality player and has shown his class everywhere he's played. I kna' it's a non-starter but it'd be nice to think we'd try these avenues. One player moving can create a chain reaction as we know and I'd like to believe we're keeping a close eye on things and are ready to move if anyone with class becomes available. Yeah, I've always liked him and he still looks the part. Would be class alongside Carroll. Nee chance like but never mind. We live in hope, eh. Whilst I'm happy we've tied down Barton and Ben Arfa into longer contracts and a perm deal respectively, I'd still have liked to have seen our manager backed abit more in the market. He obviously felt upon taking the job that we needed strength in depth, he's told us this, it just seems he's going to have to be content with the odd player here and there. He'll work out by the summer that the lip service he was paid by Ashley when he bought into the dream was far shy of the truth. I can't see us signing anyone today. Shirley, these scouts who travel the globe should've spotted someone by now and not leave it til the last day if we weren't going to panic buy. Luckily, we dont have too panic buy.

"Mike" wouldn't do that though would he? We'll see. But bearing in mind Newcastle fans are talking on here about taking the money, its not a massive leap to see that the club will at a certain price. Hope the fuckers dont though.

Talk on twitter from the Journos is that Liverpool bid 25 mill and newcastle are saying 30 mill rejected, trying to spark an auction..... Worrying. Everything has a price and they must have a figure in mind you would have thought.

That's not what the OP says.

I hate deadline day

Wonder what price Carroll will have risen to by 10.59pm..... Wasnt there something with Phillips where they knocked back an offer of 15 mill or something and then sold him the next year for 1 mill.

Re Carroll. I blame Peasepud if he goes.

I take it you mean how many quality players we now have.

Liverpool bid 30 mill for carrol --- Oliver Kay times

Not really what it says is it? Exactly what it says. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/9380667.stm 10.24am

Carroll cant go anyway. Didnt that Judge say he had to Live with Nolan. Jobs a goodun.

Would love to do another car tour around europe, however a new taxi is needed soon so it may be costa del scarborough instead.

Why fuck on when loads have people have said that happy to pay a donation. Just stick one of those just giving things up and those who want to leave a little brown packet can do so.

Toress deal done according to beeb quoting mirror journalist

A keeper? That doesn't fill me with much hope to be honest like. Forster is meant to be having a stormer up in Glasgow, so I've heard anyway and we've got a very very good keeper in Krul. People forget he's only about 22 with him making his debut so young at Palermo in 2006. Mebeez we'll get £3/£4m in today off Celtic for Forster, this Westwood deal looks like it'll be about 750k. He's too ugly to play for the toon anyway Forster. Agreed to stop at Coventry according to the Beeb.

Right then, lets get this show on the road.....

Cos we're a Big Club

He couldn't give a fuck about placating the fans. And your Barton comment is daft. He is the key for us. When he plays, we play. Everyone in football acknowledges that. I will be delighted if he re-signs and am sure lots of prem managers would love him in their team.
