Newcastle United 2008-2009 Thread

Duff is on £70,000 a week? Get rid. I like the sound of Aimar but apparently he's on ridiculous wages to. Hopefully we can have a bit of a clear out (Emre, Smith, Cacapa) but we've got a tiny squad at the moment, Keegan is going to have to bring in more than 3-4 players.

As for Taylor, a good prospect but he thinks he's worth more than he is.
 
Aimar's good but inconsistent. Same as in Football Manager. :D

I expect Spurs will bid £15 million and fly him over in a private jet with his name on the side.
 
Theres rumours up here that once the season ticket sales are in they're going to show Keegan the door.Ashleys team obviously have no idea of the respect and adoration Keegan heralds here.There'd be riots in the streets.
 
he's also constantly injured, particularly when things are getting a bit tough and the pressure's on.

Yep i'd steer well clear of him...a great talent for sure but not someone who's going to want to play lower division sides in the FA cup.

That's just fucked. Sounds like the media just spreading shit to disrupt newcastle though, as always. I don't believe it. I would like to know where you heard these rumours..
 
From my daughters schoolmates grandad.lol.He's a groundsman there.He told me about Ashley a week before the papers got it so I sort of trust him....a bit..........
 
Probably just his own exaggerated fear. No point in living in fear. Ashley must be aware that he would get slaughtered by the fans for this and it would be a very bad business move.
 
Gonna try make it to an FA cup home game if we get drawn at home at all, or even one if they get a london team, since i guess that Season ticket holders don't get priority in cup competitions? (dunno if its still like that)Depends if i can save up though, which is hard to do!

Maybe, but if you believe the rumours in London he seems to be open to an offer for the club.HE already seems to have gone back on his word about huge signings with all the wage trimming lark.
 
Ashley paid off our £80 million debt soon after he arrived; reducing the wage bill is logical and important (we have the 5th highest in the country); we've already put in a bid of £16 million for a player; not many other clubs have signed players yet; Keegan turned the team around this season and has won the praise of his players and staff and won't be sacked.

I've never looked forward to next season this much for years.
 
yeah this stuff about not bidding for players doesn't seem to be matched by the reality of what is actually going on. modric? yeah we didn't get him but there was still the effort put in.

trippy, i assume you're in london, you'll get a ticket for fulham away no problem, assuming they continue with that 'neutral' end. someone quote this becasue i'm pretty sure he still has me on ignore :D

It's not *that* difficult to get tickets in London. I went to Arsenal (3 times), Fulham and West Ham last year. Just about making sure you have money on the day they go on sale.

Fulham is the easiest though - I was delighted they stayed up on the last day - they were the only win I saw all season!
 
Mrk, thanks for the cheap shot about calling me a 'neutral' reminds me why i have you on ignore. :)

Shame you still don't understand that i actually love this club. Oh well eh.
 
fulham have a 'neutral' end, which makes it really easy for away fans to get tickets. it was not a jibe at you at all. i sat in the 'neutral' end with my mates last year.

anyone fancy quoting this for me as well? cheers :D
 
He's giving you advice how you can watch a Newcastle football game in London you numpty.

You know, a live game in the Premiership with other real life fans. Not watching it from your sofa, pontificating your sage knowledge from afar...
 
Anyway, back on topic(as i dont want to be involved in stupid childish arguments with immature people). I dont think keegan has any chance of leaving. And fa cup tickets are way cheaper than i expected, which is good news.
 
reyes can only be bad news, if london was too far from lovely andalucia for him then newcastle's going to be even worse. although he's the sort of player you can see keegan doing good things with.

when shola leaves he will always stick in my mind for his performance away at barcelona in 2002-03, a time he actually played like a striker.
 
Anyone impressed with the supposed bid for Reyes ? I reckon we should be looking for English players in case that 6=5 rule comes in.

Reyes can probbaley claim dual nationality anyway reckon he has been in england long enough from his arsenal days.

AND IT WONT HAPPEN ITS ILLEGAL.

"Newcastle United are thought to have won the race for the signature of promising Plymouth striker Aaron Spear, who has been likened to Manchester United and England star Wayne Rooney.The Magpies are said to be paying £1 million for the player in total, with installments being paid based on number of appearances."

Movement at last hopefully.
