Sold for British transfer fee as not in same ambition as Liverpool. No surprise
Bought for nowt as not in same ambition as West Ham. Only surprise Ashley sanctioned it.

Anybody worrying about ability to play when fit is worrying unnecesarilly. Never fit & no longer able to play
 
Medicals can be fudged.

Listened to a Merson interview when he signed for Villa from Boro and was really worried about the medical.

Said Villa had already committed the money so he walked in sat down, they tapped his knees with the little hammer, looked in a medical book and went ‘that’ll do’

Probably what we did with Tainio, Mensah and a few others...

Sounds about right! Lol 😳

😂😂😂😂🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ what was he thinking

He used to be absolutely unplayable in the air. He might still be but the rest of his game is shot to bits with the injuries. Less mobile than mitrovic
 
Looks like it’s going to be great entertainment watching the mouldy loins of Magdor this season.

I reckon they will struggle to get 12 points
[/QUOTE

Since 3 points for win came in its astounding that anyone can get less than 30 points in top flight football. I mean how bad do you have to be. Then to get less than 25. Then less than 20. Then less than 16. That is rank. That is beyond failure at all levels of a football club. That is beyond Steve Bruce. That is truly how bad it is.
 
Ah another fan excited for the premier League to start, I remember them days full of excitement looking forward to the home games excited when the big clubs come to visit hoping for an upset

Then reality soon kicks in after a few weeks excitement turns in to disappointment and that feeling of watching your club barely win a game and in a lot of games barely getting a kick or creating a chance

Saturday nights deciding not to watch motd as it's another defeat or shit draw at home against Burnley or palace

Sometimes being in the premier League just to make up the numbers and avoid relegation is shite

Ok.cheers chuckles
 
Any goals he's involved in will be ruled out by VAR for a foul in the build up.
Won't even play 10 games.
Strange singing imo. Never been fit for years.

If somehow he manages to get/stay fit for more than half a season then he might be handy to have, but he's never fit for long enough to be useful, and that is why he's on a free transfer.
Hopefully my scepticism is wrong, and he plays 30 odd games and scores 15-20 goals. Highly doubtful though


That's like saying "hopefully it gets dark tonight"

I reckon he’ll do well for your lot. Probably more to do with the fact you always come up smelling of roses mind. You spawny twats ;)
 
Best thing about current situation is Newcastle being a mediocre top flight team hoping to stay up is a regular occurrence since 1950s. Sunderland being a Third Division club in the same period is now starting to become a regular occurence.

Reiver for all his faults always calls this correctly. Newcastle never come up smelling of roses. They just dont under achieve as much as Sunderland.
 
Not a bad bit of business by Ashley ‘pay as you play’

Might do enough to keep them up and Bruce in a job.

If it was us we would have signed him on a three year contract..
