    Is Pardew making a bid for him??
    Maybe just a wild rumour, but would he fit in at Newcastle?

    Sky reporter on Twitter was saying how we have upped our interest in him earlier. I hope we get him, he would be a good player to challenge the first team and a good alternative to Ba in the 4-3-3. Other positions are more important to strengthen though.

    I think it's clear we would like him if the numbers work.

    we spoke to hm, he wanted £50k and there would be compensation to pay to Balckburn. That priced him out of our market. If he decides that he will take £40k, that would probably see the deal go through.

    I see; I heard he was looking for £70k(!) which I thought was a slight exaggeration.

    I think QPR could (and maybe have!) offered more than £40k, but I think he would choose you as a top six side even for less money, but it's hard to say when agents are involved!!

    QPR or West Ham bound I reckon.

    Decent player, questions over his attitude but certainly hasn't proven himself to be worth £50k a week.

    If he wants 50k a week he can go **** himself and join his mate Samba at Ahnzi with the rest of the greedy ****s.

    If he wants to sacrifice a bit of cash to join a rapidly rising club that's going to be in Europe, and play with a bunch of pro's that can help him develop as a player properly, then he can come to us.

    30k a week sounds like a decent deal, with maybe a 10k per goal bonus. We need our wingers to weigh in with goals like our strikers.

    With younguns like this, you need to encourage them to play, and bonuses could give them a reason to play, instead of them just earning big wages all their lives, regardless of how they play.

    I see his agent has the same surname; could they be related??!!

    When daddy's looking for the most he can get for his boy he's bound to be flinging the net far and wide. He's a great talent so hope he makes the right choice for his career.

    It's well documented we don't do this any more. Encourages players to take pot shots when better options are available. Martins was the last player to be on this bonus for us, hence why he would shoot from anywhere.

    Hoilett talk = toilet talk.

    He sShowed signs of being a potentially great player, but it seems his wage demands would put him out of our desired range. Need to look elsewhere.

    Think he's priced himself out of the market.

    Was thinking more of ACS. But seeing as he's come in with such high rep demands I think it's only fair that I get an increase in rep too. <whistle>

    Counter clerks on the first floor only get 20 reps a week. When you work your way up to the second floor we'll give 30 reps a week. Work your way to the top floor and the sky's the limit.

    That was where Obi had been taking a leak and dumping some rep.
