News this morning that the great 'EPL giants' up at NE1 have scoured the globe for a replacement for the recently departed Andy 'I'm a scouser now and happy' Carroll, have announced that Shefki Kuqi, the 34 year old Finnish striker (or finished striker as he shall be henceforth known) has been snapped up to fill the former fire starters shoes. Where was Bruce in all this. Surely when such a much sought after, top class international power house striker was available he should have pounced. Where is our ambition to compete with Europe's best when we could have had him instead of Asamoah Gyan, the 50 times capped goal every 2 games at International level, Ghanaian superstar. Bruce should immediately tender his resignation this morning and take the useless Quinny with him. If neither of them knew that Kuqi was available then they should hang their heads in shame that Alan Partridge has been able to prise such an asset after Swansea booted him out. I think that the non signing has cost us our EPL place this season and relegation is a certainty now. I'm in despair at our lack of imagination and panic buying abilities. I mean, where is our knicker-****ting panic buy at this season? Why have we not got a manager, chairman and owner with such small ambition as Noocarssel? Where is our deceitful and sly owner at when we need him to pocket all the dosh and do a runner, leaving the manager to look around the nations dustbins for players. I demand that Bruce goes out today and signs an equally useless and embarrassing player, so that we can match our poor relations, or in Gods name just go.
Fully agree. If Bruce doesn't buy Bent back for ã51m and double his Villa salary and thus get us back to where we were last season, then he should do the right thing and go.
Why cant we sign **** players as well? I feel we are being neglected by Bruce and Quinn. I demand an equally ****e player be brought to our club, in order to bring us into line with the ambitions of our poor relations. SAFC = Top NE Football Club as confirmed by this signing today. "Up up and away in my European balloon"
best article of the day (so far). i must admit it amused me royally when i read of their signing, wonder how much of the ã35 mill ashley has spent on this.
Now look lads, this is an emergency signing by the scum, so don't go over the top. SB's longer term summer targets will make Cookie look like a lightweight...(Now THAT will be an acheivement!!)
and so the rich tapestry of north eastern football continues. andy reid departs for blackpool; greggs fear for their profit margins, and beseech ashley, their number one benefactor, to look for a suitable replacement; ashley promises he will bring someone in the likes of which they have never seen before, and lo and behold, kuqi rolls into town. rolls literally, that is.
44 Min's in and not one barcode nibble. Could it be that this signing has at last made the penny drop that they are not a big club. Have the big top 4 clubs just shat themselves (probably laughing actually) at this top class signing? I bet SAF, Wenger and Ancelotti are kicking themselves and busy bollocking their respective scouting network as we speak eh? Shefki Kuqi. Noocarsel a Big club? Pull the other one will you?
They are either showing remarkable restraint Cest, or they are painting some new 'bouycoutt' banners. Who knows...
Cest - Totally agree - the lack of the scum lauding their latest BIG name signing here has been lamentable. I've had to resort to popping over and having a chat with them. Only had one good bite but it's early...
I've just heard that catts, muntari, hendo and richardson have all come down with a serious case of man-flu. There will be a press conference later this afternoon to confirm that we've signed their replacements............ non other than the midfield mystic himself aka Jeff Whitley!
He's only going to play in matches against sunderland so we only beat you 4-1 next season (maybe 4-0 now Bents gone) so maybe some of you will stay for the 2nd half
And when it came it was a sub standard, un-intelligent, un-inspiring and extremely boring 2nd rate bite form a distinctly 2nd rate poster. 2nd rate just like the club he supports
Hello Chester mackem.Long time no speak. Still never got to ask you if you were ok after that thrashing your men were gonna hand out? Never mind you'll have another chance to take those 6 points off us again next year...
When your now officially acknowledged smaller club, with your new 'marquis signings' , from the sunny land of Finland are actually above us in the League, I'll lower myself to discuss the veritable pros and cons of the derby games. Until that time, like the **** stain on my shiny leather soled shoes, I'll merely brush you off and try to forget the stench you caused momentarily.
