First and formost, lets get one thing firmly established here Skunk, I am 100% mackem born and bred and proud of it sunshine,because I live and work in Liverpool means nowt to me, SAFC season ticket holder and again proud of it. Right lets take acloser look at what your saying then...you reckon Ba was instrumental in getting Cisse in eh ? Well you perhaps have a point there, but quite frankly given what Cisse said to the French press yesterday, he claimed to be flattered by ANY premiership interest, its just so happens your lot have decided to spend 10 million on him....which brings me nicely to my second point....With the administration at your club (ie Ashley) who has clearly been reluctant to re invest incoming transfer fees I am in no doubt whatsoever that the objective is to offset Cisse against Ba.....I would not be in the least bit surprised if Ba dosent leave during this window to perhaps a London club. Furthermore Ba and Cisse are very similar type players. Yep granted they may be international team mates but dont read nowt into that my black and white friend as I belive he would have gone to any prem club prepared to pay the wages, loyalty means nowt in football these days. By the way, its emerged on several news sources tonite that Cisse was never on our radar anyway....As such I trust our manager whole heartedly
Bitter much? its the same with every footballer i.e sessegnon/ Larsson, so do you not think they would have gone to top 4 club if one is interested in them?
I think Cisse will be a good signing for the toon but would he of been a good signing for us? The lad has a fantastic goal scoring record but thats all I know, can he play upfront on his own or does he need a strike partner? Is he a big lad who can hold the ball up or what? If he cannot play the lone striker role then I wouldn't be suprised if we wernt in for the lad, we need someone who can play upfront by themselves and get goals like fellow namesake Djibril Good luck to the toon though, they have the options to play 1 or 2 up top so if he can physically cope with the league then I am sure he will get goals for them, they have a pretty exciting team now IMO and are apparently in talks with Lyon for Cissoko, a player who I would love as our LB I trust MoN though and even if we sign nobody this window it would not bother me, our squads good enough to get us a top 10-11 finish
I have one thing to say on this matter. AAAARHRGHHAUHAAAAA!!! (and other general wailings of despair)
I had to double take at that - thought you had gone all Chris Akabusi on us! [video=youtube;YSp-PM3n-vQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSp-PM3n-vQ[/video]
All I can say is...... Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttttttttttttttttt iiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! Always said Ashley was a top bloke.... Oh wait...
Off topic mate, but I know you like a bet, and i'm buzzing off this one so thought i'd share. Espanyol 0 - Mirandes, 84 minutes, Espanyol 41-1, thought '**** it' hoyed 20 euro on (and instantly wondered why...) Fast forward 8 minutes, Espanyol 3 - 2 Mirandes, and 820 lovely euros for me. Simply magnificent.
blimey, that all seemed to happen quickly. you have to admire the audacity of pardew with this deal. if cisse has been bought as a partner for ba and not a replacement, then that is one hell of a strikeforce.
bb you jammy barsteward. i on the other hand had the misfortune of backing us to grab a goal against chelsea at the weekend, and we were the only team in my accy to not come off, would have won £200...
Aye mate, gobsmacked like. I often hoy a daft couple of quid on a team that's 2 or 3 down, if the odd one comes up you do canny, but 20euro? Dunno what came over me. Happy ****ing days. And cheers Sombrero, that is approx 1600 San Miguels from Mercadona, although I cannot confirm (or deny...) that this will be what I spend it on...
Bizarre mate. I did it almost zombie like, it's like there was a sign or summat! Bastard thing is, there's was about 450 euro in my betting account before this, the sign could have told me to spunk the lot, haha!
