It wouldn't be if whoever from the club said there wasn't £90/£100 mill etc available, theres players out there if the price is right and look where we are in the league with the coming fixtures, talk of KK being out the game for 3 years, well surely Terry Mac and Pearson etc etc would've told him the score?, even Ashley has stood and watched it, thats why I'm beginning to wonder if Ashley does not trust his money in anybody elses hands. Ashley is worth £1.9billion in assets. He has recently shelled out £200m quid. That doesn't mean he has another £50m lying in a Northern Rock account ready to be spent, does it? He's not all cracked up to be what everybody thinks then Edited January 31, 2008 by @yourservice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, and as well as that, why pay over-the-odds for players just for the sake of it? Panic buying just adds to players we'd probably have to get rid of when Kev decides to get his own players in and to get players like that in you're likely to have to pay silly wgaes too. You have to pay over the odds for good players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not all cracked up to be what everybody thinks then You can see they want the club to operate as a proper business ie no more adventures in the transfer market. They will buy youth and spend moderately on decent/goodish players. Hope I'm wrong. I mean look at this fiasco with Dennis taxi wallah Wise...Does that suggest they have any kind of clue? They are just circling the chariots and bringing in people their mates have recommended. Edited January 31, 2008 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@yourservice 67 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) Newcastle Miss Out On Kalouda Newcastle look to have lost out in their bid to bring Czech youngster Lubos Kalouda to St. James Park on deadline day. The Tyneside club had started talks with FC Brno earlier in the week in an attempt to snatch the player away from Juventus who were poised to seal a move for him. Brno's major shareholder Roman Pros has however revealed that the deal with Newcastle has come to nothing. "We were unable to realise the whole transfer in such a short time" Pros told CTK. "Both in the business point of view, the medical and the agreement of agents it was not possible with the transfer window closing at midnight. "Neither of the clubs was able to meet our requirements, that is why Lubos remains in Brno. "We did not want to make any rash steps. By that, everything returns to the beginning. "Lubos will miss nothing, during the spring he will be certainly scouted not only by Juventus and Newcastle. "It is good that he can now focus only on football."

Throwing away one of the form players of the season and a fans' favorite for another over-rated over-priced England international waster. Senile tbh. No. Benjani is nearly 30 and the fee being banded around is £8mil. So if they can get £8mil for Benjani who doesn't offer a lot other than running and then buy Jermain Defoe for £7mil then that is fantastic business. Defoe isn't the best striker in the world but he is a decent Premier League striker. And he isn't an England international. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defoe isn't the best striker in the world but he is a decent Premier League striker. And he isn't an England international. The fee is £6mil for Benjani, who (need I remind you) is third top scorer in the Premier League with two hat-tricks as opposed to Defoe who's managed 3 Premier League goals and contends with Darren Bent for third place at Spurs. You're also wrong about the England international bit. This is bad business and although Benjani isn't world class he's better than Defoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
