    Nah Bestie's easily worth more than that.

    £50mill plus Spearing, Kelly, Flanagan and Suarez.

    *Undecided.. still have no real idea of Santon's defensive qualities
    **But coming forwards a lot, when we have the ball he's almost playing next to Hatem

    Thanks mate <ok>

    Seems to be more and more people coming around to the idea that we might actually do reasonably well this season. Before any of our squad even kicked a ball so many had us down to either struggle or be relegated, and I never knew why.

    High praise indeed! I think Arsenal are just gonna scrape top 6 and we'll finish 10th behind Everton Stoke and QPR.

    Although if injuries hit us (like they always do) we will struggle. Very little cover defensively and **** cover up top.

    No way are QPR going to finish that high. Don't get caught up in the hype.

    Yes they've bought some good players, but they've merely added a few quality players to their original Championship side.

    I'd say the changes they've made has brought them from the levels of relegation candidates to the levels of finishing in the league quite comfortably. I'd be very very surprised if they went that high though.

    Marveaux in for Obertan. Everything I've seen so far indicates that Obertan is the weak link in that midfield. Marveaux offers so much more.

    The only reason that I picked Obertan is that I've seen more of him, if Marveaux does in 90 mins what he does in short bursts, he should definitely go in <ok>

    Right now they still have the buzz from the new owners, wait till they hit a bad patch of form and that will determine how well they do this season.

    This. <ok>

    Althought not sure whether we want to start HBA immediately or not, though. Possibly just give him 20 minutes? Will be his first Prem game for a year.

    Why not give this a go...
    Krul
    Simo-Saylor-Colo-Santon
    Raylor-Cabs-Tiote-Jonas
    HBA
    Best

    Have Raylor in the role Joey used to play and we don't lose his free kick threat (although I would like cabs to take a few of them). If things aren't working and we need more pace on the right bring Obertan on for Raylor, if we need the extra striker put Ba on for HBA and Marv can replace either HBA or Jonas in a like for like sub.

    Santon AND Ben Arfa coming back in the next few weeks? I just cried a little. Good times for NUFC!

    Excellent news.

    rather he stayed out for the month and got rid of the problem completly than risking messing his knee for the rest of his career.
