They haven't won in 7!!! If Bilic was manager here we d want him hung drawn n quartered and out of the door !!

Sure, we would just ignore being in second place in a league we've not been top 6 in for many a moon, and actually signing good players, and want him gone because of a run of bad form.

Sounds legit.

Yesterday I said we had a loan deal lined up 100% for a player-  just negotiaton about the fee regarding playing a certain amount of games. Not a big deal but something needed to be sorted. A few hours later I put out that another club had came in with a ridiculousy high bid - not loan. And that the selling club would consider that instead. Today, that story broke didnt it?? 

No, are you talking about the best right back in the country for his age?  You are seriously thinking he was coming here?

Best right back in the country? Who are you talking about?

Good move by the way, the Atsu comment didnt go home, so you try a new one.

has he actually fitted in anywhere he`s played,complete toerag by all accounts

Wait till you hear the stories of how battered his ex, hung around half of levenshulme (shithole) posing with a Range Rover with every other delinquent and gun showing. Guy sadly is a complete wrong un.

From LT:

"Suggestions are in the north east are that Atsu is on £30,000 a week. Rovers wouldn't be able to get anywhere near that, so any possible deal would need some heavy negotation on that."

One or two good managers have taken a punt on him and failed miserably. He's best left to his own devices. He'll wake up one morning and realise he's blown what could have been great career. I was reading an article by a United player the other day and he said Morrison was the most talented player at the club at the time.

I had a pal who was on Bury's books back when they were in the old Div 2. I was out with him on the Saturday night after he'd had a blinder for their youth team. He'd been told he was playing for their reserve team against Wolves at Molineux on the following Wednesday night. I was walking home from work that night and who should I bump into but my pal. I said " I thought you were playing at Wolves tonight ". He said " Nah, I couldn't be bothered mate, I missed the bus over to Bury and the coach will have left without me ".

I'd have walked it to Bury to play in a game like that. He had a similar attitude to Morrison.

£30k you say? How would £3k contribution suit you NUFC?

How are Newcastle coming along with that bid for whiteman?Still in league one I see

Take or leave the information given but will you stop going on about it.We could all start doing that to you when you come on here with your whiteman exclusives.

I'm not saying the stuff you have said isn't true but the Dave has explained over and over what he meant,you don't believe him so can you just leave it

[Guest]

Sheffield United have just signed another on top of Berge, and want a third before 11pm. Freeman could be much more likely now.

Fair. Hard to tell, when it's something some on here would say in all seriousness!

He's a really good player. I saw him play against Rochdale a few weeks ago. He ran them ragged down the wings for a half until Rochdale brought the lad Matheson on who had the pace to keep him relatively quiet. Atsu's fast and tricky.

Matheson on his way to Wolves for £1million apparently - that's a steal.

[Mercer]

IF, and I think it's a very big IF, we do have a 20% sell on clause for King, I do not think we will see more than loose change made available either now or in the summer.

I think it's quite clear from this transfer window that we barely have a transfer pot to p1ss in.  IMO, all smoke and mirrors, bullsh1t and b0ll0cks.

No names mate, so yes we should press him. I've been up front about what I know with names.  Not made up rubbish

Although ..with the resources hes had available id expect him to be 2nd ..no win in 7 either somethings gone awry or just shows how unpredictable this league is ..

[Dave574]

Freeman has a lot of options but Mowbray style would suit him well..

Fingers crossed??

100% back them in not paying that kind of money. Moaning or no moaning we don't want to be going back down that road 

Although Bauer wanted 40/50 grand pwk apparently....

If he doesn't make it big I'd be very surprised. Only his lack of stature might hold him back but somehow I doubt it.

Well of course we wouldn't. It'll come through in £500-800k instalments over the next year. Helps with FFP but will never be seen in terms of a big transfer fee because we won't be receiving it in a big transfer fee.

Bigger steal than Brereton for £7m? ?

This time, the stealing is being done by the buying club.
