Baggio

I'm not whinging like a bairn at all, I'm saying the club can't continue to borrow money to finance the signing of players as we're getting deeper into debt and that we need to look at an alternative way of operating. Do you think the club should carry on borrowing money to finance signings or do you think we should look to an alternative way of operating?

you missed an important word - I've put it in brackets for you. Without mentioning the debts that Chelsea and Liverpools new owners inherited, and manures now have, and Arsenals also now have. Hey - but keep making things up Tell you what mate, you may use Spurs as your yardstick, which is a bit odd anyway, but I wouldn't swap our club for theirs, or their last decade for ours, would you ? As per usual Leazes you're twisting things in your own childish way, you add a word to my post so that you can argue about it even though you put it there. I'll try and explain it to you so you don't get to confused. Arsenal and Spurs have better squads than us, they've built these squads without having to go into debt to do so (ie not borrowing to fund player transfers, understand?) they've done it by using a DOF to spot bargain players and help set up a top class scouting network, I think we should do the same. It isn't hard to get your head around. You speak about Chelsea having debt when Abramovich took over but they did exactly the same as us, borrowed money to fund player transfers, it came out after that if Abramovich hadn't bought the club when he did they would have gone into administration. did you think Ken Bates was a good chairman?

Did the job "Ma'am. Are you gonna co-operate now?"

I don't recall saying that you did.

Babayaro is still the best option we have at left back but Roeder does like to accommodate his favourites. Agree with you when you say left back is our weakest position, it should be number 1 priority in the summer.

I've addressed Baggios comments before, and I'm bored with them. No Leazes, you don't answer because you know I'm right, so instead you either try to laugh it off by ridiculing the point someone has made or you just go off topic to avoid the question. As I told you before, the redevelopment of St James Park cost just over £40 million, so that means the other £40 million has been borrowed to fund players, more than that if you consider that the stadium was extended in 2000, payments would have to be made on that. Also, what does us having a larger fan base have to do with anything? The fact that we do have a larger fanbase yet we're still falling into deeper debt is an even bigger worry. As for you saying "I don't believe I have ever said the club should carry on spending money." Didn't you say on Newcastle-Online that you would be happy to spend all of our money this summer on Tevez? That to me suggests you're happy to keep spending money we don't have. Also this on your forum... "Darren Bent would cost a big fee, do we have it ? Whether we have it or not, I think we have to find some money somewhere." http://z3.invisionfree.com/NUFCforum/index...?showtopic=2460 So more lies from you, I had to laugh at this bit though... "Luke Young is an option, has he ever played left back ?" Have it your way Baggio. We will stop spending money on players, go down, and then you will whinge about not spending money and really living among the also rans. Which is where we used to be before the Halls and Shepherd. Take my word for it, if you can't be arsed to look it up. Can't see the problem with the question about Luke Young though, do you have a secret yearning to support Charlton because they don't spend money ? As I've said Leazes, we should look at how other clubs have gone about building better squads than us without having to go into debt to do so, it really is that simple. Why would you buy a right back and play him left back?! Whats wrong with it, its a question, has he or hasn't he ? Can he or can't he ? Phil Neville for one can play left back as well as right back, and I bet plenty of others could too. You don't have to be left footed to be a good left back. One of our best ever left backs only used his left foot for standing on. To answer your question Leazes - as far as I'm aware he's never played left back, he maybe able to do a job there but it would be a bit stupid spending good money on him (Charlton paid £4 million for him) on the off chance that he could adapt. Ben Haim from Bolton would be a better shout if you're looking for a versatile defender that can play left back.

Why should we take Keegan's word as the truth? If you've read his book you'll know how bitter he is towards Sir John Hall over not speaking to him when he left the club, there's a good possibility that Keegan is saying that Sir John never wanted him as his way of getting back at him. Similar to how you believe all the things Sir Bobby says about Fat Fred in his book are bollocks because he's bitter about being sacked.[/copy&paste] Says he who does nowt but copy and paste the achievements of Spurs over the last decade Keegan isn't in his 70's, in case you didn't realise. Where have I used copy and paste to post Spurs achievements over the last decade or have you made something up again? I'm not sure what Keegan not being in his 70's has to do with anything, you've suggested Bobby has made the stuff up about Shepherd selling players behind his back because he's bitter about getting sacked, yet seem happy to quote Keegan when he says Sir John Hall didn't want him as manager even though he comes across as being bitter towards him in his book. More double standards from you.

Phil Thompson thinks Liverpool are going to win it, what a surprise.

Roberto Carlos

Players out of contract this summer. Distin Ben Haim Sidwell Tuncay Viduka Feel free to add anyone else you know of.

Ideally we would offer Bramble a 2 year contract extension and loan out one of Huntington or Edgar for a season for them to get experience.

Chelsea vs Valencia

Roma vs Man Utd

PSV vs Liverpool

AC Milan vs Bayern Munich

Here we go...

Srniceck Solano O'Brien Gooch Sibierski Bramble Moore Edgar Bernard Gate Cave

The positive thing for us is they don't look capable of keeping a clean sheet at their place, you've got to fancy us to get at least 1 out there.

Anyone know if it's on Sky Sports news? Starts at 11am.

Lens 2-1 Bayer Leverkusen Maccabi Haifa 0-0 Espanyol Newcastle 4-2 AZ Sevilla 2-2 Shakhtar Donetsk Celta Vigo 0-1 W Bremen PSG 2-1 Benfica Rangers 1-1 Osasuna Braga 2-3 Spurs

He desperately needs to get a left back in, that's 2 transfer windows now he's failed to fill an obvious weak spot in our team.

Lens 2-1 Bayer Leverkusen Maccabi Haifa 0-0 Espanyol Newcastle 4-2 AZ Sevilla 2-2 Shakhtar Donetsk Celta Vigo 0-1 W Bremen PSG 2-1 Benfica Rangers 1-1 Osasuna Spurs still playing 0-0

Full Time. Happy with that, they look like a team we can get at at their place.
