    Anyone would think the fat bastard Ashley had ignored the players with Prem experience who were first choice on Rafa's list...

    id be busting a gut for the lad from watford who has experiance and leadership qualities over some fella from the 5th best league in europe
    also the lad from leicester
    or even the lad fom liverpool

    if Rafa is that respected at liverpool im sure he could pull a few strings

    truth is sturridge wouldnt coem as we arent attacking enough

    I fully suspect that they're exactly the sorts of players Rafa has asked for but Charnley, on the fat man's orders, is keeping the purse strings pulled tightly shut.

    aye im sure others would too

    but ashley and charnley wont - so youve got nae chance.

    your 7th or 8th choice MIGHT have a slight chance but eben they aren't guaranteed,

    next

    so lay 15 mill out on a striker not prem experianced or 17 mill ona captain and one that is

    rafa could also ship the likes of mitro,colback etc in players he wont play yet put s or says tupid valuations and themn wonders why players wont come or arent motivated by him

    i would think charnley would want mitro and colback gone just for wages reasons biy if rafa is saying no unless we have a replacment then nothing will happen

    he did the same past window

    5 of the players started today could all go
    he isnt going to play them

    hence why the lack of interest from the players

    they aint wanted they aint motivated they aint managed

    Luan scored in the final of south america's version of the champions league last season. His team, Gremio, are the reigning champions.

    Paying out 20 million on a player that's not going to guarantee you any more than what you already have, plus knowing there's a striker of real good quality out in the cold...is madness and pointless.

    Any player bought will most likely want a clause in their contract upon potential relegation.
    Loan signings are the way forward in January.
    A new manager would be the most ideal situation because a new manager has time to save us.
    Rafa Benitez will not.

    Tend to agree with this. We need to say to Sturridge 'look, man, we need a quality striker, you need game time before the World Cup...come to the Toon, be a legend, you'll get the keys to a massive house in Darras Hall, a loyalty card for Jesmond Waitrose and a queue jumper for the Gregg's on Grainger Street for when it's geet busy after everyone's been on the piss and the guy in front of you buys the LAST TWO bastad chicken bakes cos he's a greedy fucker' ...ahem...may have gone off track there for a moment... Anyhoo, come to Newcastle, Daniel, and you'll be a hero.
