The Transfer window / rumours

We have money availble but roeder wont just buy players for the sake of it , he sticks to his top targets and at present most of them are up for summer moves rather than january ones ... the likes of curtis davies and babel will be brought in in the summer along with a few others . i would have liked to have seen some more movement in january but apart from maybe villa there havent been a lot of clubs getting top players in ,in the premiership.

depends what excuse you believe.

there are currently 3 doing the rounds, one from shepherd, the chronicle and roeder.

shepherd's - The attempts by the Halls to flog their majority shareholding in Newcastle United has made it difficult for the club to make new signings

ronnie gill - We're totally skint after Souness/Robson spunked the club's money up the wall on shite

roeder - The manager is refusing to buy stop gap players and is instead more interested in signing good young and upcoming players whose value to the club will increase over time and its proving difficult to get those players away from their clubs during the January window

i personally think it's a combination of all 3. the 2 companies who were interested in buying us only offically said they wouldn't 10 days ago which is probably when our tranfer window opened as shepherd wouldn't sanction any buys while this was going on. we probs are a bit skint and roeder doesn't wanna sign crap players

we were offered andy cole last night apparently which i would have loved to see him back but roeder turned it down.

As much as we made or shall i say Peter Beardsley made Andy Cole the player he is or was i wouldnt like him back.

Any player who sings along with there fans like he did when Man Utd won the cup about Keegan and Newcastle Utd isnt welcome here - he wants to remem what we did for him.

Sorry Andrew Cole isnt it?

Yorkie is doing the business mate . He's been playin well in the middle of the park. Like i said previously i don't think we need another striker and Stern john is an unusual signing but keane's judgement so far has been sound so i'm not gonna argue.

I cant believe Tight Arse Shambles is gonna get offered a new contract at us ?

Fkn hell man that bloke, rapist off the hand that rocks the cradle?

He's fucking shit, he always has been and always will be as long as he's at us.

I heard Carew made him look like a todler last night as well.

Carew is a total beast.Didnt realise he was that tall.

I didnt think Bramble was that bad last night

Carr needs to be told to fuck off pile of shite and i dont know how parker didnt get booked. Some of the tackles were awfal .

Milner has been class this season.

Yeah Carew is a tall guy at 6f4 should boost villa strike options up
