Anymore in the bottom of the barrel?

 

[Vienna_70]

Great tune pal, don’t make them like the stranglers anymore!!

No More Heroes, eh?

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Defoe leaves Rangers. Throw of the dice from Dyche to see if he can grab the goals in the second half of the season?

 

[Vienna_70]

It was called European Female from the 82' album Feline, but i knew what you meant pal; )

Brilliant track. Brilliant album.

 

[Vienna_70]

That sounds like plan Y tbh, seems like they’re panic buying but did have to get someone in, not sure he’s better than Callum Wilson tbh

He will be better than Wilson for the next eight weeks or so.

 

[pace89]

He was fucking shite.

Only twice broke 10 goals in his career before he signed for us and only managed it again once back in Paraguay.

He wasn't though. His performances for City were pretty good when he was fit. The problem was he wasn't fit very often.

 

[dennishasdoneit]

I recall a few silent journeys like that, back in the day. Halifax immediately springs to mind.

Me too.
Not Halifax.i wasnt there..
But there have bin a few of those journeys...down the years with City.
On

I was actually working there at the time. Nightmare day and dog's abuse from every bugger after the game ,

Happy days ??

Ditto gary crosby incident with officer Dibbile.few years baach
My life was hell for A Year.
And I mean.hell.
Ho hum...

£25 Million for Chris Wood pmsl

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

The richest football club in the world sign Chris Wood from Burnley.
Let that sink in.

Almost tantamount to looking round a Bentley showroom to then go to a Dacia garage and buying a second hand Duster.

 

[Keeper!]

It’s all about opinions mate, if we all agree on everything how boring would the forum be, don’t need self awareness, I think it’s a cunts trick what NUFC have done regardless of release clause.

LOL Why?

They have signed a striker which they desperately need and at the same time weakened a rival.

25m is crazy money for him but if he helps keep them in the division he will be a bargain.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

This is their version of Mark Hughes being in charge of us, when we first got the dosh.

Our first January transfer, we got Shay Given, Craig Bellamy, Wayne Bridge and Nigel De Jong. I reckon that's quite a bit better than what they've got so far, although there's a bit of a parallel with Bridge and Trippier. Obviously they're in the sort of position that makes it hard to bring in good players.

Welcome to Geordieland

 

[Utter bobbins]

Reckon he will score plenty Newcastle when I’ve watched them the play well but don’t convert chances.

Lol

Do not Trippier on Bridge

Newcastle fans need to understand that they need signings like this in order to stay in the PL, there was no way they were going to be in the market for world class players at this time.

Far too sensible - they don't want to hear things like that !

I agree, and I doubt any world class player would go to Newcastle in January and show the passion desire and hunger to scrap it out of a relegation dogfight.

Trippier and Wood are far more likely to make an impact to help their cause of keeping them up.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Wood is actually an excellent signing. He will give them something in their bid for survival but probably more crucially, they've taken one of Burnley best assets, Newcastle might not need to be good enough if they can make their rivals for the drop even worse. Its clever, he's obviously nowhere near worth that amount but it's worth that amount many times over to keep them in the league.

 

[GoatersLeftShin]

Seriously, I bet even Burnley and Woods thought it was a joke when they got a call offering 25m for him! He's a carthorse and not a particularly good one.

They must be in a real pickle if this is what their money buys. It's an absolute desperation signing. Surely they should be offering 75m for Aubameyang etc rather than just trying to "weaken" opponents!
