This is GOOD news...and also positively enforces Moyes' position at the club if indeed it was he who vetoed the sale personally.

I'd have been livid had we sold him for so little. Livid I tell you.

That said, doesn't Wes Hoolahan play in a similar position for Norwich?

Hoolahan is a terrific player, can't believe he has only been capped once for us.
 
One of the best threads ever imo, was the thread dedicated to the relegation battle of Newcastle. I can't stand them. Especially before their relegation and crash down to earth, they personified everything that's wrong with modern day football for me.

Welcome to the forum btw.

On a tangent, but not at all my view. Sums up everything that's right with how to support your football club. They have/had some delusional fans; do we not? Does any team not? Naturally, the press love to characterise them as THE GEORDIE NATION, a phrase the fans never gave themselves, that was Shepherd.

Their owner, I agree, is not a similarly positive contribution to football.
 
I grew up watching Shearer score mad goals eg. his best one Vs us, so I quite like Newcastle.

ive got little respect left for newcastle . but in the history of the premier league they have had 1 of my favourite squads.
ferdinand , shearer , cole , asprilla , ginola , ketsbaia , watson , gillespie , beardsley , barnes , barton , batty , hislop , howey ........ i cant think of any more .(actually , im not even sure this is all the same squad .. but in that period they had a good team)

I know what you mean, it's like alot of my favourite players played for Chelsea, but I don't like Chelsea at all.

remember alex mathie?! great little finisher. they were great when they first entered the top flight but now I don't wish them success.

edit: although some of you guys are really making me feel guilty for what I said earlier about them. lol.

to be fair when they came to inter in the champions a few years back the fans were by some way the best ive seen. tons of them. very loud, lots of fun and no trouble. far better than arsenal, man u, spurs and.. wales.
 

So - Ba (well, his agent) playing the clubs off against each other. Fair enough. Newc, Sunderland, Everton the 3?
 
Don't be so quick to remember the geordie bells looking down their nose at us when they had a decent team in the 80s.

They took sneering bellendism to a whole new level. I howled laughing when they went down.

Saying that, get them away from football and they're a sound lot.
 
New to the forum, hope it's good!

I hope we don't lose out on this transfer, every single year we seem to be linked with player along with Newcastle, let's hope they don't steal them like they used to.

Who cares - we have half the financial muscle of every other club in the league, so it could be Norwich and we'd be at a disadvantage.

Our only hope is that he has a brain and prefers something a bit extra on top of the money - as in a team with a bit of stature and consistency.
