East Stander 0 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 My theory is that we could be buying after today. The reason being is that the club's financial year end is today and our beloved Fatso will want the year end accounts to look as good as possible so he can easily pay himself and dastardly douglas the usual hefty dividends and bonuses.

Baggio 0 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I wouldn't at all be surprised if FS hasn't signed anyone yet just to have saved on there wages for a few more weeks! I know it sounds crazy but last season we were linked with Carr from the end of the previous season but we didn't actually sign him until the end of the summer, even though it was made clear we wanted him and he wanted to come here.

Phil K 0 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Well, I for one have not exactly been mollified by the signings. Least of all Moore. I think nufc.com summed it up brilliantly, in fact:- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. In welcoming Moore to the club we wish him all the best, but cannot help but hark back to the words of the Chairman, who back in May said: "If I told you who wants to come to Newcastle, you would be astounded." Well, he's not wrong. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<, I couldn't have put it better myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
