Two in for Obertron?..... let me look for those pigs.....

I honestly cannot see this being true... if it is... the glow thread will combust with spontaneous joy....

Surely one of the most bizarre and least credible transfer stories ever, sees Aston Villa and West Ham said to be battling to try and sign Obertan.

The story claims that sauces/sources at both clubs have each said that Squidward is a ‘priority’ target this summer.

West Ham or Villa?

If anybody in the Premier League would be willing to take Obertan off our hands, even for nothing, would be jaw dropping. The 25 year old still has two left on his contract and surely the only way we will get rid of him is to pay up his contract.

The last Premier League match he started was March 2013 when Newcastle were hammered 4-0 by Manchester City and the last PL game Obertan started and United won was Boxing Day 2011(!), a 2-0 win at Bolton.

The story is being ran by Football Direct News, which was recently renamed from Sports Direct News amid claims that Mike Ashley no longer had an involvement.

However, maybe Ashley has used his old contacts to desperately try and hype up some interest in one of his players who the Newcastle owner allegedly blames Alan Pardew for signing, as it is claimed his was a signing the manager really pushed for, rather than Chief Scout Graham Carr.

 

Oh dear, another Pardew clanger, when will they ever end?

 

Everything is finite, AB. Even Ashley. Eventually, eventually he'll go. Whether it's selling the club or simply dying, he will go at some point in some fans' lifetime and we'll have a better time of things. Thankfully I'm considerably younger than Mike so will hopefully be telling grandchildren about exactly why finishing 9th was so depressing....

 

I'll donate a fiver for his train ticket if its true.

 

I'll match your contribution.

 

I'll throw something in to take him as far away as possible.

 

Another reason why I'm convinced Pardews days are numbered.
Wasted £££££m of Mikes hard earned cash on Obertan.

 

Maybe he thought it was Obafemi Martins he was getting.

 

Martins scored a lovely goal for Seattle Sounders the other week.
