There is - the guy Lopes from Monaco who we are supposedly in for
Maybe this is an "insurance bet"...……...
Aye I hope its Ronnie but its seems a bit far fetched for us to shell out even on loan for another big gun.

Not yet but assumed he wasn't part of the 30 you mentioned
So, we steal Bruce then we give them Murphy
Welbeck supposedly going to Watford
They didn't promise the training facilities though plus it was not the budget just the ages of playersBe a good signing for anyone provided he's not your only striker. All this activity is raising one very important issue.
There's an elephant in the room on here the last few weeks which no one has addressed. If we had all this money to spend, a written guarantee about the training facilities, why did Rafa **** off? Without being too cynical, what has transpired since he left would seem to suggest he was playing those who were painting him as a saint. It appears he went for the money.
When I suggested this to my mate who worships his soul, his response was "well yeah it does look bad, but maybe he left because of everything that has gone on while here". That being the case, why didn't he leave as soon as the season finished? Nah I'm not having it. It looks to me like he was using Newcastle to get the best career ending salary he could from China. I don't have a problem with that bar him pulling the wool over many of our die hard fan base.
Leave Pouchy be. He doesn't want any counter speculation interfering with his pure speculation when he's having a dig at Rafa.They didn't promise the training facilities though plus it was not the budget just the ages of players

Keep suckingI think there is a written guarantee floating about on the training facility. Ashley alluded to it to. If he has left solely on the age of players then I don't want someone that backward in charge anyway. He has pissed and moaned for 2 years non stop. Then when we have a budget available, he ****s off. I'm starting to think Ashley's assessment of him may be correct.

Care to indicate what is factual information in the first post and what is pure speculation? Then, revisit your second post.Always accept factual information. I just reject your "Rafa please can I **** you off" bollocks. Actions speak louder than words. Ashley's actions this summer are making Rafa's look very suspect.
Keep sucking

Easier said than done.
Darlow, Colback, lazaar, one of the RBs and Atsu.
Get shot of Gayle and get another forward
