Brilliant News, best wishes for the future

Where do you get £7m from, who are you comparing him too? He is 25, got his best years ahead of him, an international (albeit Scotland) and if we can get 5 good years out of him and at least 15 goals a season that sounds good to me! His value is what someone is prepared to pay for him...

I didn't think there had been much action at all in the premiership until I checked each club: Reading 8 signings QPR 7 WHU 5 Norwich 5 Fulham 5 Aston Villa 4 Chelsea 4 Swansea 4 Southampton 4 Everton 3 Arsenal 2 Man Utd 2 Newcastle 2 Spurs 2 WBA 2 Liverpool 1 Stoke 1 SAFC 1...

Hey Bobby, if you are going to start a list I bet we could get past £50m of wasted money, Keane and Bruce contributions will add a bit!!!

No, it wasn't acceptable to pay £8m for him in the first place and I don't know why we did when an experienced centre-forward was needed. But, we are where we are ... you choose!!, reserve team football for a season or out on loan, which will benefit him most? If we buy two decent and...

Alas it is not Whickham's fault that someone decided to spend £8m on him at the age of 18. I have seen enough of the young lad to still believe he will make the grade, but he may have some of the physical aspects of a pro' but he may not have matured mentally to cope with coming up against the...

We lived just off the Newcastle Road and listened to the the crowd from outside the ground. My Dad wouldn't take me because, at the age of 8, he thought I was too small for such a crowd. I remember some 57,000 actually went through the turnstiles, but, many more went in over the walls and yes...

Competition for places and strength in depth ........... sounds good to me

Did Dalgleish get the best out of anyone last season? None that I can think of! Downing was very good at Villa, scored goals and made many assists (44 games, 8 goals and 9 assists in his last season at Villa) that would do for me!................. I believe that under MON's guidance and...

Downing or Hoilett (Johnson on loan would only be a short term solution, so rather have one of these two) NZonzi would certainly give us a physical presence but not sure about the the craft and creativity we seek ...... still feel he would be a good buy and think Colback may provide the craft...

Travelling away is a good bonding experience, where is irrelevant to this. We are playing SK and German/Dutch teams which is good experience for all. They are training in a very warm environment, whether europe or asia doesn't matter it is good for them. Its a lot better than games against spuds...

Campbell and Sess????

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11661/7865175/English-bid-for-Ilicic Could this be the 'crafted midfielder' we are after?

Got to be Colin Todd and next best are Monty and Denis Tueart

.... and Cuellar?, he won't be signing him to keep the bench warm!
