^^ ExactlyNot exactly arguing my points here Mr Moy? just taking a line and twisting it...

Good signing for them IMO, suprised he didn''t get himself a move to a bottom half PL side in all honesty. I respect the job PJ is doing there also, that''s not untrue.... the fan base bit is an outright lie however.

Again... if your trying to put a player in the shop window why bench him? If I was going to flog a player i''d want him out on the pitch as much as possible banging in goals adding to his price for every goal he scores.    

Newcastle were 11th when Hughton was sacked & Pardew actually finished a place lower than that in the end... they currently sit 10th so hardly a massive improvement. They flogged Andy Carroll (Hughton being the only manager to make him a good player) and then invested that money on Cabaye, Cisse, Santon & signed Ba on a free through Graham Carr''s scouting rather than Pardew spotting talent (hence his 8 year contract that was awarded before Pardew''s). It''s far easier to play pretty football with that personnel than Andy Carroll, Kevin Nolan, Joey Barton etc. 4 nailed on starters in their respective international sides aswell as a young Italian international who marked then world player of the year Cristiano Ronaldo out of a CL 1/4 final within his 1st 10 games at Inter vs Englands 4th/5th choice striker and two players who''ve a cap between them... come off it mate.   Newcastle''s recent sucess owes much to the foundations laid by Hughton. Krul, Colocinni, Taylor, Tiote, Ben Arfa, Gutierrez were all mainstays in Hughton''s side, again however how much of that is owed to Carr is also up for debate I grant you. So much has changed at Newcastle since Hughton''s departure that I don''t see how you can justify your commment Pardew is showing Hughton under-performed, what are you basing that on? He flogged a player Hughton coached into becoming the most expensive British footballer ever and has reaped the financial rewards to help bulk up the squad. Hardly makes him a better coach.

Considering Lambert''s dropped him for the majority of their recent fixtures i''d say it''s more than the need to raise cash, makes no sense to bench someone your trying to put in the shop window and get a decent fee for.

By all accounts Croft is a bit simple, I wouldn''t put it past him to say something daft like that in the heat of the moment.

"an ankle injury" was what BBC sport listed it as with Hughton saying "it''s certainly going to keep him out for a good few weeks". I remember seeing him in Chapelfield a couple weeks aferward with a protective boot on it but that must have been the middle of August, it''s nearly 2 months later now.

I was one of the few people pleased with his signing. Hopefully he doesn''t turn out to be the new Steven Smith though haha, the start of his NCFC career is mirroring his thus far. I''d like to see the back 4 you suggested also, IMO it''s probably our strongest.

I''d rather sign Sandra Redknapp... we all know she''s a better goal scorer than Darren Bent anyway...

@ Paul Moy Have you actually ever read anything on Hughton''s Geordie sacking? There was outrage all across the country, disagreeing with the decision to sack him with a vast majority of Newcastle fans calling for the board to go. Have a read of this and the fans comments: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/philmcnulty/2010/12/hughton_sacking_shames_newcast.html He got Brum to the play offs working under massive financial restrictions, being unable to sign anyone other than loanee''s and free agents whilst juggling Europa League football, if they hadn''t had that there form over the latter half of last season suggests they''d have gone up automatically as there form took a decidedly upword turn once they were eliminated from it it. As for Hughton "not being in demand" of course he''s not, the ink''s barely dried on his 3 year deal with us as well as the only managerial vacancies going being in the Championship, oh well nothing like letting common sense get in the way of select Norwich fan''s ridiculous opinions is there?  

The irony... posters want two managers to replace ours who''ve both been relegated from the division in the last 3 years to replace a manager who''s done well in every job he''s had up to this point. I do despair with our fans at times.

I remember Col U away after we stole Lambert from them, he and our players thrived on the abuse the home support were giving them, including Lambert deliberately coming out after everyone else to the dugout. I''d suggest those travelling to Villa (alas i''ll be working) sing songs supporting our current manager & players. Ignore Lambert, he''ll hate that far more than our supporters focusing all their efforts on him.

[quote user="Steady On..."]Morison "I used to set goals for myself, but then everyone started slagging me off for no reason"   The way he was treated last season was a disgrace by certain quarters. [/quote]Couldn''t agree more fella.

[quote user="Lambo"]I''d probably take Harry Kane, less likely to be injured and similar scoring record at CCC level last season to Vaughan during his spell at Palace. Kane does have 3 goals from as many games in the Europa League however. Don''t think CMS is cut out for PL football myself.[/quote]Ignore the Europa League quote, mis-read the page.

[quote user="Al"]Your counting ability leaves a lot to be desired. His only experience is a few games in league 1 and half a season in the championship where he score 8 goals in 23 matches. Tottenham have decided that despite only having 3 strikers he is not going to get a game for them. Hardly a jaw dropping signing is it?[/quote]You use the fact Spurs are willing to let him come here against him... by that very same logic if he wasn''t a talented player surely it''d be a permanent signing for a small fee?Also your stats are wrong... 7 goals from 19 starts (3 subs appearences) in the CCC, over all for the season 10 goals from 27 starts (6 sub appearences)

I''d probably take Harry Kane, less likely to be injured and similar scoring record at CCC level last season to Vaughan during his spell at Palace. Kane does have 3 goals from as many games in the Europa League however. Don''t think CMS is cut out for PL football myself.

My guess is the latter bud.

One of the best posts i''ve read on here recently. If I were wearing a hat I''d tip it to you sir.

Could be a great move for Joey Barton. He might settle down there a little, he might not. What a club to play for though!!!

[quote user="colneycanary"]We have no money but we waste a million on Bunn when we already have a great back up keeper. What a waste of money! There are cheap strikers out there! Swansea (Michu)seem to be able to find them,so why can''t we???[/quote]Michu''s the type of player we''ve signed two of this window in Butterfield & Snodgrass, not a striker.

[quote user="Indy_Bones"]Apart from the fact that Carrick is an excellent player in the role he plays, and it''s much better to have a player who stays out the press, than one who''s caught on page seven sniffing coke with 2 brummie hookers...[/quote]Completely agree with you here mate! Carrick''s a top player IMO. England''s midfield could do with more like him, very rarely gives the ball away.

Agreed!!!

The two attacking midfielders we''ve signed with the idea of supporting a striker(s) scored 18 goals between them last season compared to the one goal contribution of the departed Vaughan and Wilbraham. I fail to see how we''re weaker.

Doesn''t matter too much. Even if we''d only signed a Holding midfielder (Tetty) i''d have been relatively happy as that was what we sorely lacked last season, this has been addressed, We''ve added two quality goal scoring midfielders in Snoddy & Butters. Bassong is a great addition to a leaky defense. Bunn provides genuine competition to big J-Rud, Whittaker is a top RB and Turner isn''t as bad as people are making him out to be either, he''s managed to play a decent chunk of the last few seasons at this level for a reason. Over all i''m happy with how this window has gone.
