Newcastle Thread

Naughty Gambling Papiss

I swear some Toon fans have been saying he's a casino regular for ages. We're probably lucky he hasn't fallen off a barstool and injured his knee like Carroll did, though if he does that Liverpool might give us £35M again.

Talking of casinos, has Ashley gambled away our transfer budget or something? We seem no closer to signing anyone than we did before that numpty JFK rocked up.

Colo just throttled some bloke. Both sent off.

This is going well.

Shola is an animal \o/

He was about to give him a kiss. What a romantic guy Colo is.

Maybe he visualised that it was Joe Kinnear and wanted a polite word over where our new signings are.

Cisse has reportedly reached a "political solution" with the Toon Army and will stay at the club., with Wonga sponsor and all

Well I suppose that distraction's over and done with. For now.

Imagine that conversation....

Cisse: I don't want to wear the Wonga on my shirt, its against my religion i want to leave.
Pardew: I saw you in the papers yesterday, in the casino, gambling
Cisse: Okay, i'll stay.

Nile Ranger got a tattoo...

Still more artistic merit than Jackson Pollock

Apparently Newcastle gave up on Gomis.

Not particularly bothered if we manage to get Remy instead.

I think it's just brinkmanship.

He has a year left on his deal and has fallen out with Lyon, so I think Newcastle will assume Lyon will drop their price, (which does seem far too high). Plus it would surely benefit Lyon to offload Gomis to Newcastle rather than Marseille. Due to them probably being rivals for the last CL spot, if Monaco and PSG take the first two places.

£10m is quite expensive for a striker in the last year of his contract who isn't world class really.

I still think we'll end up getting him with the price being closer to 6-7.

Could be, but I also remember Newcastle pulling this sort of stuff with Debuchy last summer and then we ended up not getting him at all in that window.

Gomis will go to Newcaslte in January, i'm calling it early.

I'm quite confused. Have Newcastle released their home kit?

Officially, no, but Puma's US shop is selling our new home kit, and our U21 team have worn it in games. It is this:

They just released it on Sky Sports News just now

Newcastle apparently offered £2m and £30kp/w for Darren Bent. And were turned down immediately. This is apparently a 'farce.' Seems roughly what his market value should be imo. Well done to Villa though for holding their nerve if they can offload him to Fulham for £6m.

It's amazing how a lot of fans want the club to spend money, that player doesn't even matter any more. They just want someone signed for a lot of money. The same sorts of fans who claim transfer deadline day is 'boring' for them because Newcastle never sign anyone.

£8M fee agreed for Gomis.

Suppose JFK had to agree a deal eventually.

Loic Remy has signed on a season-long loan from QPR

Suppose we had to sign somebody eventually. Should be a good signing too, albeit 7 months later than planned.

Want.

Same.

What kit is it though? I don't understand why they were wearing it when that other shirt is apparently meant to be our new home kit.

Commemorative shirt for Bobby Robson National Football Day, all being sold on eBay at the minute for charity. At the minute Dummet's shirt is most expensive?
