Christmas Tree

One day!

So, cricket eh?

No, I'd much preferred it if Labour had left some money.

Fuck me I've asked for a better striker than Dwight Gayle and hopefully a couple of decent loan signings. Hardly fucking controversial stuff. You win, you all win. I'm beaten

No, I had a problem with Labour borrowing from the corporate Wongas and screwing the financia abilities of most trusts for years to come. However, more home trained nurses would be money well spent imo.

Sorry, chose him at Random.

Well that's fine. We have a very clear difference of opinion. You're fine with the strike force we have and are after back up where as I would prefer a first team regular brought in. That's ok. No point in arguing over that. Hopefully Mitro will rise to the challenge, not get wound up all the time etc etc.

So there's 100% no potential loanee at any of the top clubs who could come and do a better job than Dummett?

Hold on, I never said they had to be under 21. I gave examples of Bamford, Bent and Ince.

I only mentioned Bamford as an example of a top club player being loaned to a championship club. My point was that there will be quality players at the top clubs, who are unlikely to feature for their club but would do a job for us in the championship. The resounding answer you all seem to be giving is that there isn't. Fair enough. We shall see.

Don't forget Townsend.

So let's put it this way. Should Rafa bring in a better striker than Dwight Gayle and / or manage to pull off a good loan signing or two.... What will we say looking back at my hopes and dreams

Bamford @ Boro Kalas @ Boro (now at Fulham) Probably others too. So there is precedents. Even if there weren't, I would have thought playing under Rafa at Newcastle would appeal.

The clever thing would be to have less unskilled immigration all around and start training enough nurses etc rather than the cheap immigration option.

Well in that case I'm speechless

I thought you'd bottle it

Man city will have players who are unlikely to feature this season for them but would do well for us. Do you not agree?

I'm not playing this game. It's been discussed to death. If you disagree and think we didn't get it wrong then fine. It's pretty well accepted by all that we did.

Well I did and I'm avoiding dragging that person into it. The point still stands.

I suppose the crux is that I'm unable to spot any wummary in hoping my team gets a better striker than Dwight Gayle or hoping Rafa could use his contacts and coaching credentials to persuade some quality none first team players from the top clubs to come here. I'm sure you can point out what's wrong with the above hopes of a fan. I'll wait.

Like I've repeatedly said, how would I know? Surely you or others who watch a lot of football know decent players at these teams who are unlikely to get a game but would walk into our team?

It's immaterial who said it. If I'd said it however

Give over Not considering Dwight Gayle exciting and hoping Rafa could get a couple of decent loans from Arsenal or Man City doesn't quite warrant 3 pages. Especially when others have said Rafa might "bolster the squad predominantly with season long loans. Makes no sense to buy for the championship", and nobody said boo.

Do you disagree with the "then" Labour Home Secretary who said "it was a spectacular mistake"?

Some areas have too many.
