On Sky, Koeman was asked if there was a clause by which Toby could be recalled to Atletico at any time. Koeman said no, not during the season. I think we all knew that...trust the press to get the wrong end of the stick.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw1n7OMlJLo Koeman's press conference. He says Sadio may be on the bench despite having no practice session because we are light up front as Isgrove and Gallagher are injured. Also mentions that Sadio will be delayed by having to get a stamp in Ghana before he can enter the UK...but this was expected and not unusual.
Nice to hear Franny's Big Run come up as a question at the end. I didn't catch who it was, that the reporter mentioned, would run with Franny over the final stint..? Wsan't our celebrated Canadian chairman again was it..?

Don't be so sure Admiral, we might be even worse this weekend. You boys will probably whoop our asses so bad we won't be able to sit down until Christmas! Liking the user name
Morning Obi. If the players feel the same as you fans then we've already won. Trouble is life isnt that simple.
Boy the newcastle fans sure are an optmistic lot. Some quotes from the http://www.nufc-forum.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=54647.0 Man, thats from like the first page and a bit. I thought we were the club that had been torn to shreds during the transfer window and had no hope.
In the i newspaper today, Ronald reported as saying Mane will be on the bench if papers etc are sorted out in time.
He said in the presser that we are short up front. so Mane could be on the bench for this match even though he will have no chance of any practice. He did add that Sadio will have to be assessed when he gets here (he may not even get here on time as he has to go via Ghana).
I'm really looking forward to seeing Sadio, but I hope he's not rushed into this game. He's had a big week, but we need to know his condition is right, he could be a very important player over the coming months.
IF he arrives, IF he is fit, I could see a small cameo late in the game if we need a goal. Doubt Ron would risk it if we are only 1 goal ahead.
