In talks with Newcastle?
We were linked with the Senegal striker back in the summer and the striker even went on record to acknowledge our interest although unfortunately nothing come of it and Cisse remained at Freiburg.
So imagine my shock when I got in from work and turned Sky on to see this little chestnut rolling along the little yellow ‘breaking news’ ticker. I nearly spat my coffee out! However, with seconds seconds I was back in my defensive ‘wait and see’ mode, so that’s just what I’ll do.
Cisse has an outstanding goal record in the Bundesliga having scored 37 goals in 65 appearances which has alerted some of the bigger clubs in Europe. He is mates with Demba Ba and is also an international team-mate of his so perhaps our current goal machine has had a word in the ear of another goal machine?
More to follow. Maybe…

#nufc have agreed a £10m fee for Cisse
Where’s Moreno`?
Any chance this will shut all you miserable winkers up who pish and moan about the same boring shite every day?
UPDATE: We have agreed a fee with Freiburg in the region of £10m!!!!
New ticker on SSN!!!
I think most if not all toon fans will be chuffed if this comes off!!!
RTG “With MON in charge, if we wanted him he’d have been coming here to be honest. We’re clearly looking elsewhere”
Did Mike Ashely strike lottery or went casino and won lots of cash?
10M.
@Toon Chicken
tiote and Krul in talks with Chelsea and Spurs
Just googled Cisse and he is already a Newcastle player on wikipedia!
Wow brilliant news
who will be sold to fund this deal
Hitman….the optimist in me says Andy Carroll
Aye hitman
Great to see such a deal, shows the fans and players we mean to push on…couldn’t believe it when i saw it on SPN though!!
PAPISS CISSE WHOOO HOOOOO GET YERSELS OFF THE REALITY BUS AND GET OWAH TO THE DARK SIDE ITS DA PLACE TO BE!!!
haha hopefully we sign him cuz the mackems wanted him too
still need a centre back then ill be happy
SSN live outside SJP.
Howay Hitman – gan get yer bedsheets!!
Nothing sealed yet. If we pull it off I’ll run naked down my street with a cucumber up my arse, film it, and post it on here for all to see!
Wonder if the virgin money helped?
Seems an instinctive strinker judging from that video, a lot of goals from first touch.
this place is ganning ne where under ashley, been here too long blah blah bla
wooo hoo hoo hooo
His middle name is Demba
can’t be bad eh?
HAHAH HITMAN YOU NEGATIVE MF .. HAHAHAHAAH .. COME ON
This goes totally against the transfer policy doesn’t it? I mean £10m?!
Hope he’s not Ba’s replacement.
Oh and by the way, anyone know if he’s any good?
I too almost spat mi tea oot when the little magic yellow bar sprung into action on Sky Sports News. I think I may have actually squirted a little bit of wee out too.
….fantastic news if it comes off, and or course nobody of any importance leaves our current squad.
Toonsy
Doesnt troy have to show his arse in fenwicks??
Im amazed, love it when stuff like this happens out the blue…Fair play Mike Ashley because I never expected us to dish out 10m on anyone!
Cisse and Ba upfront. my word!
Cisse is at the training ground
this is a shot in the arm for all the doubters like
€9m???? If true they really are te masters at finding cut price deals? Can’t believe that like…. German media must be more reliable than the Brits though surely?

this is a shot in the arm for all the doubters like
Long way to go yet!
Although if we sign him and a defender without letting anyone go I will tip my hat to Ashley.
Big if yet though.
hey lads dont get me wrong im fkin buzzin.
but this is ashley we are dealing with here.
€9m foooking hell!!!
What’s that these days – about £25k??
Fee is around £7.2m according to David Craig – €9m
sky report that they have pictures of him at training ground and will show them shortly,looks like this one could be true
Calm down….calm down….calm down. Oh screw that. This is awesome. I never even seen the bloke play but I’m excited. I’d ask is he any good but then ill just wait until I see a pic of him in the black n white with Pardew.
And for gods sake Toonsy, I like you but not so much that I’d want to see THAT video.
I know I sound like a negative bastard. But it does make me think one of Demba Ba or Tiote will be leaving…
Feck I hope not. Means if we buy a defender that’ll be around 15 milk spent…
Just can’t see that happening…
7.5 million for a proven goalscorer
look at what liverpool payed for carroll lol
The player is at the training ground now ( Sky Sports ) according to David Craig. It is time for all to get behind the regime and stop being sarcastic, be positive. Lets all hope Senegal get knocked out at 1st stage ANC and we get Cisse and Ba early. Actually watching Cisse at the ground NOW
just seen them ice.
Just seen video evidence on SSN. He had a huge purple tag rooond his neck saying 30% off
That’s £800,000 left for a centre back then…
This kid will be a toon player by the end of today!
I wonder it Ba has had a word and told him to get his arse to the toon.
Crazy this like, just noticed that Freiburg are bottom of their league and they are letting this kid go?!
Sky just said they believe the fee to be £7.5m so that would be more realistic to our transfer policy and would be Pardews £8m kitty for Jan window so no players funding this move.
1 thing iam warried aboot why have 2 class strikers that are gonna go missing every so often from the 1st team ,have they brought him to replace the number 1 demba
I thought that this kind of news was exactly what Ed at .com is living for – he hasn’t even put it up yet, that old gossip-copy-pasting twat! Sorry for the rant – this is great news!
for anyone who hasnt got ssn try this,works for me
http://www.vipbox.tv/watch/1267/4/sky-sports-news-live-stream-online.html
£7.5m crumbs…..ba and cisse would only get you carrolls leg!
Sharpy I was thinking the same about ba like. Don’t know if cisse has been with Senegal yet though has he? The players seem to be good at selling the club to the compatriots though. Look at cabaye, oba, marv etc
Howay Funkness – nee need to call Uncle Ed names. he is the Godfather of Toon blogging. And the poor old sod has been fighting cancer too!
He looks like he has good ball control and first touch in that video, but also a bit of a poacher. Most of his goals seem either inside or just outside the penalty box. Obviously got pace. Him and Ba would be perfect!
….please don’t let this be 1 in 1 out. Pushing on for Europe lads and lassies!
He is god like mode last season in the german league. I have seen him played,and i am really buzzing now he is part of the NUFC team.
Totally unexpected. Ba+Ba=1big drogba in making.
Well said TC
TC@57 i agree m8,well said give the guy a break
If we sign this kid I really hope Senagal do shite in the ACoN!!!
Stuart79 – yeah the other news is that David Weir has left Rangers to continue his playing career in England….. There’s our defender! lol
I suppose this dispells the myth that Ba couldn’t move as he’s in African and it would be too much like a ball ache to get a deal done.
Ive been sad enough to watch the odd friday night bundesliga match on espn and ive watched freiberg a few times after we bid for him in the summer and he has scored every time in a shit team, Amazing if they pull this off.
mackems can still sign his cousin papiss poor…
I said likelihood of getting cisse the other day at 3/10!
Teckers!!!
scored 99 goals in 26 starts in africa he must be good!!!
Cheer up stuart!
Well his being playing for NUFC on my FiFA12 for 2 seasons already…… All this excitememnt makes me wanna cry .
Whilst this is amazing news, I really hope it’s the Judas money that has funded it and not an upcoming Ashley profit making scheme.
Sorry for the doubts, but it’s got to be a double edged sword.
Assuming this goes through (had to put that caveat in there
)
I hope it pushes home the fact that the transfer policy has never had anything in it to do with price. Value, yes – but not price. They’ll fork out £20m for a player… as long as they can get £30m a year later.
Exciting stuff this, although how frustrating will it be to have to wait until the end of the ACON to see him play?
Cisse is a dirty get who spits in people’s faces plus he’s played for the Mackems!!
Fooooooook – amazed we managed to keep it quiet, tremendous news if he doesn’t fail medical
@Whumpie: Actualy,we don’t have to wait till end of ACON.
Lmao @ Toonsy with the cucumber comment.
I pray that we pull this off though, although, like the rest of you, I’m hoping he’s being brought in to play along side Ba and not in place of.
If it’s the former, and we manage to hold on to all our key players in this window, then surely it’s time to cut MA some slack.
I can’t help but feel sceptical though.
Ps. Just for a bit of gossip, Msr Carroll was at Seaham Hall Spa yesterday with his lass getting a massage. This is fact as it was Wor lass that massaged him. The daft bint didn’t know who he was though until all the other therapists told her, so she didn’t get any useful craic off him whatsoever.
Hey Toon Chicken – you know how you sometimes just go on a riot without thinking it through? That was one of those moments for me .. You are absolutely right about that ..
I will go on record though and say, that it boils my p*ss, that he always refers to himself as “we” – like “we don’t think”, “we expect to” and so on. It is kind of silly, trying to give your opinions more weight, by talking about yourself in plural ..
No matter what – my rant was unnecessary ..
Hope they get it tied up…looks better than miaga!!
Sharpy – think we can do without weir :p
Turns 27 in three months. Guess he just made the cut off. He’ll have a four year deal I imagine…
troy thats the wrong cisse
maybe this is why we pulled out of the Maiga deal and then put a smokescreen up saying we weren’t after a striker?
@Troy: I thought that’s Djibril Cissé??
Troy
We are in for demba cisse – surely means Ba has been selling club to him? ?
ACoN starts on Saturday as well, and it’s on ITV4.
…if this comes off, it’ll certainly make viewing a bit more interesting!
I’d just like to say that while I’m sitting here with a raging hard on, I will be keeping my nuts firmly protected, just in case the club tries to come along and swiftly kick em
How the fuck 7.5 million they wanted 12 .5 in the summer !
Toonsy – you do realise we will all expect you to actually follow through with your promise, right? And no skimping on the size of the cucumber!
Wonder if this is a statement of intent by the board? Pardew has hinted at Europe for a couple of the last interviews now…maybe Mike, Owlhead and Pardew can see it’s a realistic target now with a few well thought out signings?
Troy..strike and reel, ya’ve a few on the line there
Buzzing with news like. Just quickly, surely it was on the agenda during the official talks, he’s bound to be asking if Ba is staying, the way pardew has been talking recently indicates he’s got the green light to keep them all!
Not to put a dampener on things, but knowing our luck we’ll get him signed up only to find both him an Ba get their legs snapped at the ACoN
Haven’t really posted on the site before but damn haven’t been this excited bout a transfer since ben arfa……….but this being the toon just waiting for something to go wrong!
This could be a real statement by the club and helpful in getting Colo, guthrie and Simpson to sign new contracts
@Richie
The rod is at breaking point.
Really biting today troy. Get them while they’re excited and defences are down
Markmul……welcome to the nuthoose
Troy you been greasing fenwicks window yet
No I’m not.
someone should tell ashley to turn on SSN ; hes not going to be happy
There’s a nasty rumour going round that we’re going to sign a centre half too!
Funkness – understood mate. Don’t sweat it.
Cheers richietoon….don’t worry i’m well aware it’s a madhouse!! :p
Wow- haven’t stopped in since yesterday and I find 75 new articles and Cisse to the Toon!!!!!!!!!!!

Also Benalouane to sign too, whover the fck he is.
Who is Yanga-Mbiwa. Sky just said they’ve seen him at St James Park too…
must be a trialist 
Never heard o’ him
Thank you Richard Branson!!!!
Apparently there’ll only be 4 games televised on ITV, including 1 group game, the Quarter Final, Semi Final and the Final. Full highlights programmes as well though.
…better than nowt.
To be honest, I don’t know if I want to watch Senegal playing for too long anyway
OMG So excited by this , cheered me up no end. Hopefully Ba stays and this is Ashley showing ambition to go forward. So what was all that with Erdinc then and who were we talking to in france , anyone know?.
Also Toonsy@25 – It’s a bit cold for that and don’t forget the lube 
Just heard Mick Jagger is to sign. Apparently he is solid as a rock, or stone.
“Confirmation of Cisse’s capture is expected imminently, along with the announcement of his five year contract.”
Lastest update from nufc.com boys
well apologised Funkness, good on yer lad..
stephfinnon Stephanie Finnon
Papiss Demba Cisse is in talks with #nufc and @bbcnewcastle understands #nufc also hope to complete deal with Cessena for Benalouane
Stu@104, all those clips are actually at the top of this page, but with an extra 2 minutes, and no annoying Katie Perry.
@kimtoon
lol toonsy needs lube? doubt it, he can take a boxing glove holding a turnip that lad
The biggest transfer news in my opinion of this window so far and not even a snippet of news about it on the bbc/sport website
JJ@105 -He’s a cb.
Sky is saying he flew in form Africa- surley you don’t do that if it isn’t a done deal.
Whomever said it above is right- MASSIVE signal of intent by the club
Cisse, a defender and no one going and Ashley might just see his popularity rise a bit this time around
maybe cisse is why maiga failed a med
Mark @144- My word ,that’s rude.
Ha! Just clicked on that I know Steph Finnon, thought I recognised the name
Great news as long as we aren’t letting any of our 1st choice players go this window. Signing this guy and losing any of Krul, Tiote or Ba wouldn’t feel like a great transfer window.
Don’t want to be pessimistic at all but we do have Mike Ashley as a chairman and he does love to throw a spanner in the works whenever things are looking up.
My word
Spot on Batty! It’s a done deal for Cisse. Hope you’ve got that cucumber Toonsy!
BBC Newcastle saying fee agreed for yohan benalouane. Could be a double signing today with both player signing
wow cisse and defender??can somebody check ashley’s head is he all right
With a major competition going on at a different Continent, I dont think Cisse would come all the way to Newcastle unless this deal is already done.
Great bit of business. Also, dont see how he would be Ba’s replacement? How can Ba say to him: ”Here mate, sign for the Toon – great club going lpaces – but i’m off to somewhere else.”
Toon must have said: ”What will make you stay Ba?” He must have said:”New contract please and sign my mate, we’ll be awesome together.”
Brilliant. Just need a centre half now to give us a bit of depth in defence and we are seriosly looking at nicking 5th/6th this season.
**Provided no key players go during this window
BTW – Anyone see Pardew wants uthrie to sign on?
Get Cisse signed up, a new cb and the lads tied down with new contracts….now that’d be the best window in years….we’ll be ticking down the days till the end of feb when the ACON is over!!
where that Ashley baby, me and Wolfie are ready to spit-roast the sexy hog.. he’ll need plenty oinkment when i’m finished with him..hah oinkment
Shop is fresh out of Cucumbers. Shame
Luckily I have a rubber fist lying around the place so not all is lost
It’s a done deal pending the medical. You don’t just casually fly in from Africa now knowing what is one offer or not having spoken before. That will have been sorted before.
Toonsy???
Toonsy – my Granda says you can have this one if you want?
http://www.jr.co.il/pictures/israel/things/jr090630.jpg
toonsy u must be sh!tting yourself, having to run down the street and film it with a cucumber up your arse!! haha. great day for the toon though if we can get these 2 guys in. anyone know much about yohan benalouane?
WOOOOOHOOO WHAT A SIGNING!!! made my day that!!! think thats goodnight to shola ameobi!! cisse looks unreal cant believe we are getting him
wheres the negs? their silence speaks volumes
i am buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing
TC…he’s already had that one, then sneaked out the door the next morning without saying a word
Dont know anything about this yohan benalouane bloke, but he does not sound very good. The Cesena fans dont like him apparently…
If it’s true then Carr must see something in him he feels Pardew can improve. Interesting one, a cheap 4th choice option?
Toonsy ya cannit go back on your word now , ya will have to use a marrow marra

So, unless my math is off (which it probably is), we will have signed Ba Cisse Santon Cabaye Tiote and Ben Arfa for LESS money than Liverpool paid for Carroll
Apparently Benalouane is a bit tempremental !, hope that’s not true ,don’t need any boat rockers .
@shamrock 137 – im presuming something along those lines as well, in carr we trust though! hasnt brought in a dud signing yet
cisse and ba upfront – demba ba has defo made his mind up to come to newcastle!!! cant wait to watch senegal on saturday night!!!
I am shocked by this! Woke up this morning and I kinda said to myself , I dont think we will end up bringing in anyone! Thank f**k I havent a clue most of the time
Batty, maybe he’s following troys lead after he never visited fenwicks. Won’t mention him in the same light as a certain other blogmaster just yet though

Hitman you are too slow. Toonsy beat you to it.
Batty you are in reverse, Hitman who was beaten by Toonsy beat you and Toonsy beat you.
what a happy day !!! top class center half now and im in dream land
And MDS, I know it’s not totally related, but Chelsea paid 50MM for Torres. So, I think it goes to show that NUFC spending is more geared towards value than price. There’s no way either Liverpool or Chelsea will ever recover those costs…while Newcastle looks to make money off future sales…excellent bit of business it seems by MA and “The Board.”
If you all really want to see me rodding my arse with a vegetable I’ll take one for the team and do it
Feck me , has Ashley realised we are maybe 2 quality players short of a top 6 side . If this is completed and a top notch defender as well then Europe is on for next season . I never thought we would pay that much for a striker in this window .
2 ameobis 2 taylors 2 dembas could it be 2 yohans pardews ark
Rambo, yes. Obviously Taylor and Colo are 1st choice. Willo has done really well again so is 3rd choice, pushing Taylor for a spot. That only leaves space for a 4th choice player who’s young enough to improve and push the others in time if he works hard enough.
We have to trust Carr, so if the move happens we should all support it. If Guthrie signs a new deal too then we are looking good!
Just touch wood we dont lose any key players this window.
I reckon Demba will be signing a new contract soon now that Cisse has signed on. Happy days!
Shamrock, if he does come in he’ll only be cover anyway. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was a loan deal until the end of the season, when Taylor gets fit. He would effectively be 4th choice CB anyway.
….maybe the rumoured 10m budget has been used on a permanent CF and the loan of a temporary CB?
MsiDouglas Mark Douglas
No fee agreed on Benalouane, despite heavy links. Is a target mind. Just seen AP: beaming! #nufc happy to get this one done

They all beat you.
Has anyone seen ashley? I think Pards may have finally tied him up in a basement somewhere this window…

2mins ago Retweet
i think that if MA is trusting carr, then that says it all really! end of the day he is the guy that signs the cheque and we know how thrifty he is.
maybe the tides are finally turning and he wants to make us a force here and in europe, we do seem to be closely following the so called “Lyon” model and why not. buy cheap, sell high just like sports direct.
willo has really impressed since he came into the team again, and we do need to build the squad for depth and competition.
HWTL
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD4QpwPahpM&feature=related
look at the player we have got!! am i dreaming!!?? new number 9 then??
Toonsy – No.
Rodz – Dont know mate. I agree he would be here as 4th choice, no problem with that sort of signing at all as our other options are doing really well for us. Not sure he would be a loan deal though unless it’s with a view to buy. He’s only worth about £1m… Loan fees these days are quite high, so would not be value unless it’s with a view to permanent signing??
Either way, we are tarck this season!!!
Assuming we keep everyone and buy Cisse and a CB (getting ahead of myself, I know), what would make a good summer window?
For me it would be:
OUT Smith, Xisco
IN Young CF with potential, RW, any good youngsters doing the rounds.
That’s quite attainable, really! This, of course, assumes that Marveaux will one day be injury free…
What the hell is going on? I should still be in shocked enthusiasm, but now I’m thinking who are we going to sell
aaaaahh
so then troy, old timer, we’re ganning ne where under Ashley?? correct?
Wooo hooo hooo
Army – If Demba stays, I think he deserves the #9 shirt before anybody else
What do you think of the signing Troy?
Blip….I don’t think there’s a cat in hells chance of getting rid of Xisco yet…..unless the club pay him off
TO steel a quote from Broadwalk empire ” It’s important to have something to look forward to” Who would think we would of pulled this off.
steal even
@Shamrock I dont think Toonsy can reply m8, hes in marks and spencers rather excited…
he seemed quite tickled by the idea
Demba doesn’t want the number 9 though…..allegedly
Richie – You are right re: Xisco. Makes more sense to keep him and get a small loan fee for the season. At least we get something back!
Think this summer will see Smith, Gosling, Ranger and Perch go.
Pards wants Guthrie to sign on. If he does then surely Gosling will be gone?
Ba Cisse
Jonas Tiote Cabaye Ben Arfa
Simpson-Williamson-Collocini-Santon
Krul
Oh and Kadar will go too.
2003-2004 AS Douanes 26 (23)
2004-2010 FC Metz 103 (37)
2005-2006 → AS Cherbourg 28 (11)
2007-2008 → LB Châteauroux 15 (4)
2010- SC Fribourg 67 (39)1
thats his goal record!! 39 goals in 67 is canny mind
I somehow have this image of the scene from movie The Damned United but it being Ashley instead who tomorrow asks Pardew “well who the hell are these 2 blokes? “. They’re our new signings says Pardew. Why didn’t you tell me u wanted to sign them says Ashley. Cause u would have said no says Pardew.
shamrock – demba has sed he didnt want the number 9
He looks class on that video.
well i hope it comes off,i know me and RICHIE always liked this guy above all other c/f linked with the club so ime happy
Oh yeah, Loverman too! Bit of a clearout.
Richie, didnt know that re: #9… Fair enough. Reckon he’s gona sign a new deal though!
Mark – I’m concerned about Toonsy now. Woolfie is getting to him. May have to section him?…
Cisse looks to be a top quality hungry striker who will play off the shoulder of Ba, can’t wait to see them both in action.
Hope we don’t spend big on a CB as it could mean Colo on his way out, we need a CB who is young and initially happy to fight his way into the team.
Great day so far WooooooooooHoooooooooooo
Aye Shamrock, I’m buzzing with this Cisse move, Europe this season???
…piece of Papiss!
Seriousy though, add a quality CB and there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be able to finish top 6. It’s beean a long time coming, but we’ve almost got all areas of the pitch addressed.
(no outgoings please, Mr Fatty, nice Fatty)
…………..krul…………..
simpson col wilo santon
benny tiote cabaye gutierez
……..ba…….cisse………
Shamrock@178…aye, agree with that.
With all the foreign players we’re getting in and losing carroll, barton, nolan in the summer…how are we doing with the homegrown quota now does anyone know?
Could this be the first steps towards the 433 that was rumoured over summer? Mark Douglas said the powers that be wanted a MF of Matuidi, Cabaye and Tiote, but Matuidi was too much.
So…
————Ba——–
Ben Arfa——Cisse
————————
Cabaye–Tiote—??
so when will this signing be offical??
nice fatty!
Looks like it’s all starting to come together now. Not going to get too excited until the window shuts, but either way this is a really positive signing.
BTW STATTO – That was a good article. Shame about the unfortunate timing as it did not get the attention it deserved. Maybe when people get over the euphoria they will have a read back… Good work as usual mate
looks like hes got a touch of Andy Cole about him
Pards is a bit of a legend he said today he will take the boys away for a mini winter break after fulham game! So that no one can buy his players!!
Blip exact what was thinking
@Mark
Great signing and if there is no outgoings then he’s gone against his policy of selling a player per season.
You jump up and down like zebbity from the magic roundabout before the fat controller has closed the window.
I’ve always maintained, if he goes against his plans to cash in on players but build around them then he has listened to the realists and I’m willing to forgive.
Markmul – We need 8 I think.
Krul, Elliot, Harper
Simpson, Williamson, Both Taylor’s
Guthrie, Shola
I think Vuckic is close to being home grownplus a few others.
Markmul – We have loads mate. Krul is home grown too
Signing Cisse may help keep Ba at the Toon even if someone activates his supposed buy out clause.
Is it supposed to be announced at 5 or something?
@Trot
boing boing boing
Wooo hooo hooo
Troy hopefully the difference this time round is we don’t need to sell players – as Pardew has said the club are in a much stronger financial position. It’s early days and I don’t doubt if we get a stupid bid in we may sell Tiote or even Krul but I think it’s unlikely.
CAN WE ALL JUST TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO POINT AND LAUGH AT SUNDERLAND.
They must be gutted!
Toonsy….yep 8
Ranger likes homegrown, does that count?
Shamrock
Not only that but they suddenly think he is pony now!! Mugs
Ah good stuff, cheers toonsy. i wasn’t sure of the numbers..think under 21′s don’t count too
If this goes through and we get a cb…it’ll be some team we’re building
wonder if there is a buy out clause in his contract?well guess i will have to wait for arrys press confrence then
@blip
Nathan Dyer??? Looked quality againt arsenal yesterday, quick young english! Take him in a heartbeat for rw
Rodz – But he likes to talk in Caribbean gangster patois, so obviously see’s himself as a foreigner. For that reason he’ll never qualify!
Markmul, sammy, gosling etc can be included as well, I think if they’re underage they don’t have to be specifically named in the 25 but can be if needed
Alex what you on about dyer for lad?
Liam – Some Sunderland fans have been on here recently telling us they will finish above us in the league. Think they have been bigger than us for years! Hahaha, we had a minor blip – They are permanently carp!
Spent a lot of money too. No doubt O’Neill will want a big pot too. Reckon they are going to be in big trouble a few years down the line…
RTG….papiss cisse and demba ba
surely the most over rated strike force in years – typical mags getting excited over fuck all.
ba will come back from african nations injured (guaranteed) and cisse will not be able to adapt to the premier league.
mags will be desperate for goals soon and be tumbling in the PL. rest of squad is weak as well.
According to Wicki his full name is:
Papiss Demba RODNEY Cisse
love it.
Just been on the official site.
Seen the headline “Just arrived for 2012″…
Excitedly clicked the link expecting to see a pic of Cisse in the no.9 shirt and instead I got taken to a shop selling Fat Mick’s footwear.
David Craig changed his mind and now saying £9m
Shamrock – the amount of abuse we got for going down and look at us now miles ahead of them in every single way
Interesting to hear that Cisse is on Tyneside for his medical. A fee of 7.5 M pounds being talked about. Is this a sign of commitment from Ashley at last? Now we need a CB. Surely the club doesn’t think we can get by without one. I seem to remember what happened when Saylor was injured and Willo wasn’t available. Hoping for more good news soon. And can we hold on to Tiote Ba and Krul? Please don’t sell anyone Ashley. We are on the verge of a great team now!!
9m Euros dubtoon.
Richie@216, think that’s called blind hatred.
…I wonder how many of them are ‘trying’ to read the comments on here now
Aye Rodz that’s what i said @37, but he was just on again and said pounds this time, which is closer to what the rest of the media have been saying. When he said €9m he said that was from German sources because no one in Newcastle was talking

Hearing that #nufc not in for Benalouane
25 minutes ago
It’s been a fair while since we had 2 awesome strikers…. Just hope the fans remember it’s a new league, atmosphere and climate (ish). He will need time o bed in, especially after playing in Africa. Completely different. Would not be suprised to see him play from the bench for most of his season…
Have to pop out now. Been sat here since 2pm poised, waiting for something official. What’s the betting as soon as I walk out the door something happens
@224 – Glad to be honest, His reputation as a player and person is not exactly great. I think we should be looking at a young, up and coming player with scope to improve though, who will have to accept 4th choice for now….
Something will happen alright
doing the camerawork yourself or taking the mrs with you? 
Dubtoon, ahh, OK.
…well, 7m or 9m it’s a quality move anyway. Hope there’s no hiccups…..
Toonsy, just stay away from those cucumbers. It’s not big and it’s not brave! You do enough for the ‘team’!
Toonsy – just noticed that your avatar does look suspiciously like a cucumber is being introduced as the pic is
taken…
I know this deal looks very likely to come off, but to keep things right… IF this deal comes off, full credit to MA and the board, they pulled the plug on the Maiga deal as he was obviously not 1st choice.
But Cisse aside, we are a club that are making really quality signings now…. Regardless of the amount were spending.
If defo think Ba spoke with Cisse, and if he has, would he really encourage the lad to come if he planned to leave???!!!!!
Think it’s good he’ll be coming back with Ba shamrock, that way pardew can slot ba into the team and can afford (hopefully) to ease cisse in without much pressure. Ba should be able to help him settle too, and also played in france and then germany before coming to england so plenty of advice available.
@231
good observation that
This made me laugh…
ian hyland @HylandIan
Papiss Cisse: From Freiburg to Newcastle. Andy Carroll: From Newcastle to frying burgers. If he’s not careful. #nufc.
Sharpy, really hope you’re right about ba. Would be heartbreaking if he left (especially for 7m). The transfer policy comes in for a lot of flak but look at the number of good signings made in the last few years with no true flops that come to mind (though not all are the most popular)
Not as funny as this tho…
safc1973 @SunderlandAFC73
The end of the day Sessegnon is twice the player Papiss Cisse will ever be! so be quiet mags!
Apparently Cisse was close to signing in the Summer but the deal fell through, the Montpellier Captain Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa was also close in the summer, class defender who can play right across the back 4, could he be next?
He’s about the only Sunderland player I’d have tbh, off the top of my head. No point putting too much pressure on him just yet though. Give him the summer to settle and let him tear it up from the start of next, then we can laugh at the scum all season long
I’m surprised about the amount of surprise… well, kind of. I’m surprised that the club was able to strike such a good deal, but why do people think it’s a change in policy by the club? He’s a good bloke, good attitude, young enough (just), and likely to be worth more than we paid for him.
The club’s never had any limitation on the price – it’s the value that they’re after, and spending within our means. We’re now level 5th and the level of player they’re after has continued to go up as our league position has.
It’s not the club changing their mind, it’s doubters being proved wrong. I can understand that, but let’s at least be honest about it.
announced at 8ish… new number 9
DL has said it doesnt mean Ba is going out
I agree Dubtoon. Sessegnon would be an excellent addition to our reserve squad!
Where you here that mark?>
@LST newcastle radio. Pardews No:1 choice..
DL actually said , NO! it doesnt mean any big player is going out..
@whumpie
The change in policy will be if no one leaves in the window.
Mick Lowes “Llambiass no one is going out MA has put his money in to get the striker we need to move us forward” “No interest in Benalouane”
8 minutes ago
he also said the Algerian Defender rumour from Italy is totally poop. DL actually said poop!
@3hourswasted
too late m8
Aye Mark but Mick Lowes quote gives it extra weight….literally
so ashley put his owm money to get this striker in.
what happend to the judas money like
Mick Lowes “The fee is higher than £7.5M and there is money still there to buy the centre half they need. This will make Ba very happy”
Hitman…it’s in Ashley’s moneybelt
……come on now, you didn’t think he was really that fat did you? 
Two steps back, three steps forward is the story to date. There’s time yet.
Can’t get excited cos I don’t know who he is.
I was reading Tavernier’s looking the part. Good if he’s ready for next season.
Troy. I wonder if he is one of your players whose best position is striker and who gets occasional goals – like Ben Arfa? Woo hoo Troy.
HITMAN HE SPENT IN ON EARPLUGS TO KEEP YOUR B LOODY MOANING OUT YOU MOANING OLD BIDDY
we ll it makes all the jurno’s look stupid after all the crap that Carroll was on his way back . I am really starting to think that the fat man is not really all that bad . Should probably wait till the window shuts to think that .
take ya caps off prat.
Well lads and lasses, the toon just got a mention on the late news on the main German channel. Looks like it’s official !!
I’m so happy about this, Cisse is absolutely immense, what a striker. Well done to Ashley and the NUFC team for pulling this one off !! Maybe the Euro League spot isn’t too far away after all ?
See Wrexham v Brighton has been postponed like, guess we’ll have to wait a little longer to see who we’ll come up against.
Saturday 9pm
Early chance to see Ba and Cisse play.Senagal v Zambia on British Eurosport.
looks like cabye is out for a while,got pot-on and crutchs
@whumpie, “its not the club changing there mind its the doubters being proven wrong ”
Had ya pash bonny lad the window is not closed yet !
Looks like a good player look forward to seeing him in the black and white , after 5 years of shit its about time Mike started getting things wright !
NO AND QUIT YOUR MOANING YOU’VE BEEN PROVED WRONG YET AGAIN AND YOU SHUD GET BEHIND MA AND THE TEAM AND STOP BEING SO NEGATIVE … ‘YOU PRAT’ – PROPER GRANY SPEAK THAT LIKE
so weve got tiote , ba and cisse to come back in a few weeks and hopefully a new defender in!! its looking really good for us!! hope cabaye aint out too long tho
HITMAN senagal normally go with BA and N!Doyle up front mate,at least they always have
proven wrong.
if you think half a good season under ashley after he has been here 5 year is acceptable to you, you know fk all.
like others are saying you should keep your ashley arse licking till the window shuts.
lot of talk of cisse getting the number 9.
fill ya boots lad
hitman@266 , spot on bud well said
4 and a half seasons of shit and half a good season a bit early to pull MA pants down and kiss bott
I wish I could get on the makkem blog…
If what Mick Lowes is saying is correct, then I take my hat off to Ashley.
Maybe, just maybe he’s in this towin something.
Anyone know when his first game will be?
Stuart…if they get all the way to the final. then it would be Wolves at home.
So when is Cisse to be unveiled ?
stuart79@ 270 , there that word again that keeps popping up when we talk about MA “IF” but time will tell lets hope we are smiling at the end
dave the lad has to jet off at 8 for the ACON.
so probs before then m8
Only half a decent season? Thought we did all right last season finishing 12th first season back in the Premier league and doing even better this season. That would be a season and a half which has been decent not counting our Championship season cos we should not have been there.
can’t believe we’re actually signing this guy…… quality! what a strike force we’ll have! looking forward to seeing him in the black n white
“Stick a pony in his pocket, He’ll fetch Santon from Milan, Cos if you want the best ‘uns, But you don’t ask questions, Then Derek he’s your man. Cos where it all comes from is a mystery, It’s like the changin’ of the seasons, And the price of Cisse But here’s the one that’s drivin’ me beserk, How on earth does Graham Carr work? Ala la la la la lalala”
Still think people are getting ahead of them selves like. Don’t believe it until its official.
Hitman @266 bang on.
No one should be too overjoyed just yet.
This is typical ashley stuff. Give the fans what they want and take away more a little later.
ie reduced season tkts, followed by name change.
I feel we are in for a big shock before Feb 1st.
Someone is on their way oot to pay for this coup.
Dont believe ashley has dipped into his own pocket, where the fuck is the Carroll money
Believe it, it’s happening and you don’t fly in from Africa and then fly back out for nothing. This is the real deal, he’s signing and probably has signed and Demba will be part of the persuasion I bet.
Just shows that the club has ambition .
Also I can’t wait for Toonsy’s cucumber video and I’m sat in excited anticipation waiting for it.
I hope he’s making it now because I’ve stripped down to my Y fronts and have pulled them to the side and pushed me tiddle and little balls out the side ready to view it.
Hitman I just hope if he is here for a med that he will pass it unlike Mr Maiga
Wolfie Mr Maiga flew in for fuk all except a slap on the face and a big question mark over his future fitness
Wolfe
IMO…
What a signing if we pull this off. Well done MA, the scouts and Alan “we are not buying a striker” Pardew. haha.
Maybe this was in the pipeline and the Maiga “failed medical” was so we could get this better player.
I am so shocked at this and over the moon at it.
But this will only be a step forward if Demba Ba and our other best players are retained. I think Fraser Forster will be sold, Lovenkrands, Ranger and more importantley Smith off the wage bill come June will save us alot!!!
Papisse Demba Cisse will probably be given the number 9. Ba and Cisse training and playing together for the next 4 weeks will also be a huge benefit for when they come back. First game probably Wolves at home, prediction of 5.0 put in now!!!
Also if Ba is sold then it would be a dirty trick. I reckon one of the main reasons Cisse has joined it’s cos is mate Demba Ba is here. If we get him here then sell Ba, Cisse would be pissed off.
No players to leave, roll on February 1st and climb up the table………………..
half a good season
I’d say 2.5 including the season after relegation. so 2.5 in 4 is sweet.
aye we were relegated but MA wasnt playing, the team that was playing were good enuff to keep us up they just didnt have the nuts
Dave have you stopped to consider that the club may have actually been telling the truth about Maiga? Especially since the assumption that fatty reneged on the deal because he wanted to save his pennies for a defender has been blown out of the water now.
Wolfie you should try wanky if your into pervy shit like that, im sure you’s would get on like a house on fire
BIGDAVE, Maiga had a medical and our doctors found a problem, now whether that was because they had a better player in mind,I don’t know but think about it, we are in the business of buying quality so if they saw Cisse as better quality, they could have pulled the plug and hinged on that, knowing Ba could be a major influence, which is probably right.
Equally , he could have failed a medical.
If we don;t sign Cisse , I’ll make a video myself and go one better than Toonsy and I’ll shove a full length bread stick down my jap eye whilst pouring mexican dip down the shaft on me tiddle, whilst shouting …..BIGDAVE WAS RIGHT WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ….yep I’ll video it, that’s how sure I am we will sign him.
this has to be a done deal, can’t see senegal letting him leave the tournament unless it was to finalise a deal, he’s their main man after all!
now we can sell krul for15 to spuds and buy Vorm for 9 giving us 6 mill to sign a decent left back/right back
RICHIE @277 where did you get that its on eds blog or is that you too you tinker
wish this bluddy cisse would hurry up
whens it going to be officall?? wor lass is missing her soaps cos im refusing to turn sky sports news off!!! 
cisse your gna miss your 8oclock flight mate
TC yeah mate I did consider it for a while but after hearing Mr Maiga and his agent complaining about it I then had to consider that MA and DL are known to tell lie’s and generally don’t really care about anyone getting hurt in their games.
But you never know he might be serious about Cisse
Didn’t Marveaux visit two clubs in one night before signing for the toon ?
Would really like to see this Cisse deal announced oficially, done and dusted….
@Army69 u can get skynews on the personal computer
Army69 Expect an announcement on Friday.
BIGDAVE, stop being so negative man, you only know about Ashley and Llambias being the devils resurrected because that’s what you have been led to believe and have added every rumour to it to come up with an owner who is actually a world warlord in the destruction of a toon fans dream.
You need to chill out man.
To be honest. I’m not even sure if I want him so sign or not!!!
Which video will be the worst and most disturbing???
cucumber up the backside or bread stick in the japs eye?
Wolfie > BIGDAVE, Maiga had a medical and our doctors found a problem, now whether that was because they had a better player in mind,I don’t know but think about it, we are in the business of buying quality so if they saw Cisse as better quality, they could have pulled the plug and hinged on that, knowing Ba could be a major influence, which is probably right.
Going by what you have said above it sounds like you wouldn’t be really surprised if they fabricated the Maiga failling a medical story, because a better player came along ??

So nothing finalised yet then? I haven’t missed anything? Andmy ringpiece is safe from root fruit for a while longer
BIGDAVE@318, I don;t worship him but I’m not gonna slag an owner off who I can blatantly see is doing a monumental job of putting this club back firmly on the map and in short order will be challenging the big I am’s in this league.
I’ve had this stance from day one and I don;t see anything negative in what he’s doing. In-fact , all I see , is progress , season by season.
So if that’s me worshipping him, then I’ll accept that because the man is this clubs saviour as far as I’m concerned.

There you go Mark, he sent me this.
@Keith yes he wasnt playing. I thought the likes of Martins, Owen etc would of been enough to keep us up but they bottled it so lovely uncle mike did the best thing and got shot of them all
True?
Christ this is making me teary eyed. When you have the likes of Bobby Shints and Stu excited and optimistic for the toon you know we are on the brink of something AWESOME.
Lets now all have a pray that we don’t lose anyone.
And lets hope in the summer we fill those remaining couple of gaps in our team to give us an fcking incredible starting XI
RICHIETOON@324, hahahahahaha
Keith @321 – we had a decent season last season and doing ok this season – that’s a season and a half where we have done fine mate – not half a season as you suggest
@wolfie I’m the one rubbing his ball_sack
@Keith
half a season whooo hooo I thought u went to games m8
Keith – What would have been an acceptable position for you last season bearing in mind we had just been promoted back into the league?
Rich – Start hard. One of those big giant squash things
MARK
Butternutsquash Toonsy
Jesus a cucumber is like my breadstick compared to a butternutsquash. 
@Keith have you seen QPR’s team or WIgans? aye
well tell me if theyre better than the one that got relegated
Harper, Coloccini, Steven Taylor, Edgar, Duff, Guthrie, Nolan (Owen 66), Butt, Lovenkrands (Jose Enrique 57), Viduka (Ameobi 75), Martins.~
Subs Not Used: Krul, Smith, Gutierrez, Ryan Taylor. + a cpl injured..
they bottled it & despite getting relegated the season in the Champs was very entertaining, I loved it
I remember the usual suspects wishing that Ashley would show at least half the ambition of QPR at the start of the season
Up the R’s!!!
Talking of QPR – I’m sure one of our ex-players was about to join them at the start of this season but opted for a Champion’s League club instead.
Anyone know how that’s working out for him?
Mark@337, great point. That was a really strong team in all honesty….but they just didn’t function…
What we should never forget is the great work that CH and the group did to get us back into the big league at the first time of asking. We wouldn’t be where we are today without CH…
Try and keep things in perspective boys thats all im saying and it is very common for people (i wont mention any names ) to kiss his butt about everything when so far ….. thats so far lads the best in 5 years we have managed is 12th ….. THATS 12TH LADS , this lad is a good player and if he ends up in black and white then happy days and if we end up in europe then mega happy days ,
Mark@332 , yes i have been a season ticket holder for 15 years go to as many away games as i can and im going to fulham on sat woop and have been to some amazing european away games in my time …. what about you ? its sometimes good to learn from the older fans
Wolfie@333 , to answer the question if we hadent sold Caroll 8th 9th i would guess
@MM
exactly m8, we retained the best of that sorry bunch and built to where we are now, hopefully we wont dismantle too much.
Ditto that Mark….
@keith
yes m8, been to loads of away games over the yrs and only 5 European games, Barca, Milan, Juve, Monaco and NAC breda. Have been a season ticket holder on and off due to work/money etc but my point wasnt Ive been to more games than u whoop de doo
it was the fact you said weve had half a good season in 5? so u must of missed the other games we played then..coz I reckon its 2.5 decent seasons in 5
I don’t think we are going to get any announcements regarding Cisse this evening …
At the end of the day the transfer window is open until the end of January, and the bloke cannot kick a ball for us until Feb at the soonest anyway…… Hope everything works out, cos he would be a great signing for us.
Silence is deafening ……
U having a giraffe Keith?
Fair dues, Ashley will always have to take the flak for us getting relegated. Everything before that was completely Fat Freddies fault!
For all his mistakes (and there are SO many), Ashley is building this club into something better than FFS ever did.
Yeah 12th is the best in 5 years but what about before Ashley? We haven’t exactly been flying since Sir Bobby left.
Anyone who denies the progress we have made under Ashley since we got promoted is completely and utterly blind.
Take the blinkers off Keith, we give the manager and the board enough stick when they do things wrong, time to give some credit when they do things right.
The transfer policy of not panic buying is clearly paying dividends and props to Ashley for not buying in the summer if the scouts weren’t convinced and waiting till now.
Or would you rather we took Liverpool’s approach? 60Mill on strikers that don’t work out so have to delve back in again.
By the way Jermaine Defoe?! One of the most overrated PL strikers ever. He’s only got more than 13 goals in one season (18) and that was only because he scored 8 of them in two games against Wigan and Hull!
@mark , depends what you want from the toon and what is exeptable for an owner to do to your team but I wasent happy with relegation or 12th or 13th ? Imo you are basing you opinions on a very very small peak in form at nufc !
Keith@341
Not sure if I’m older than you or not..
Been away in europe to Ferencvaros, Metz, Monaco, Dinamo Zagreb, Dynamo Kiev, Zurich, PSV Eindhoven of the obscure ones. Wembley 4 times. Don’t go away now as circumstances are different i.e family/work/money. Also had a season ticket since 1988 I think. Season after being relegated. And from the memory bank my first away game was Man United 2-2 with Mirandinha scoring both.
Last season was a huge season for us and some amazing results 6.0 Villa, 5.0 West Ham, 4.4 Arsenal, 1.0 at Arsenal, 2.2 at Chelsea, 3.1 Liverpool and I think we beat some unwashed team 5.1 aswell. 12th IMO was a good place. Last minute goal in the last game kept us from finishing 9th.
Stil nowt on Sky sports news about Cisse…………..
@Keith I want the very best for my team m8 and I want a chairman to do his very best for my team, if thats the slow, sensible way with slow progress then fair enuf I’ll go with that. I’m happy the days of spending megabucks on badge-kissing players are over. I cringe/laugh when I look at L’pool spending stupid money and theyre below us!
I’m nearly 40 m8, Ive seen hardly any good, sustained years at Newcastle aprt from KK and Bobby but a few more patient years won’t hurt.
Keith man have you hear of a team called Leeds United? That would have been us if it wasn’t for Ashley.
Anyone slightly worried yet?
Does anyone know what the Hampden is with Cabaye’s injury. Someone posted earlier that he had a pot on his ankle, and was on crutches. Is there any truth in that ?
@keith you have to remember the team that got relegated, it shouldnt have as it was a decent team, something was up. Its been good form since tho.
& MA is still owed money, he’s sold players and took back some of the money owed whilst making us a better team imo.
but like you said earlier, the window isnt shut yet so we’ll see if his ambitions lie close to the fans ambitions.
Richietoon…aye….me…
I was really happy, cos I’ve seen thsi bloike terorise German defences playing in a naff Freiburg team. I hope this all comes off…
Richie….or did you mean the seeing Toonsy with the corgette scenario ?
Rich – Nah. All the journos have gone silent. All of them. To me that suggests that everything is fine and dandy
Mark, I’m a bit older than you, and can probably safely assure you that it aint gonna get better than the Champs League years… we’ve peaked mate, the rest will be mediocracy, think yourself lucky that you managed to have some great away days in europe to tell the grand bairns about..
Toonsy @ 357
My thoughts exactly
It seems to be that they have been getting their words and pictures for tomorrow’s exclusives.
Nee announcement til then I reckon.

Fee is worth 10 million all told.
what a fecking signing!!! when was the last time we splashed out 10 mill??
roll on next month!!
defender now please!!!
she’s there
Toonsy, I think you might get away with this , I think all the lads are too excited over Cisse, so your bumhole could be safe here but that’s a lesson in not being too quick to go for large veg hahahaha
So if we get that defender and whoever, we may well spend that £25 that Wolfie predicted, well on the way to that now, still on the train though, but enjoying the ride

Believe me, this bloke is immense. A great finisher, with a great work ethic, always on the move…. Cannot wait to see them all in action
I bet old ‘arry doesn’t like this signing one bit. I expect some shenanigans from him tomorrow
Cisse & Ba, best strike partnership since Ferdinand & Shearer? I hope so!
Ashley deserves a nosh for this.
Surely not that much JJ promised
“At 10mil euros, theres no chance. We won’t sign anyone for over 6mil. That I can promise you.”…..soz JJ, couldn’t resist
Looks like QPR are doing well to keep Milton Keynes at arms length…
He was second only to gomez in goals last season in Germany?
new number 9
MDS aye he was…
He’s a jack in the box striker, always on the move. Doesn’t score many long range shots though, mainly a sniffer in and around the box. Good for at least 10 goals a season though for sure. Happy days …
fucking class

Credit where it is due to the fat controller coughing up £10m for Cisse. So now the question becomes “where’s the £25m gone” #nufc

Enjoying this tweet, lol
Toonsy I have missed most of what has went on, but you haven’t went and made a bet on Cisse have ye
Just wondering is Cisse Ba’s regular strike partner ? if so im sure they will know how eachother play = not taking as long to settle in.
MM is he fast ?
Demba Ba and Papiss Demba Cisse and Hatem Ben Arfa
Nicholas Bender and Ji Ding Dong and Stephane Sessagnon
Hahahahahahahaha……
OVER THE MOON GOOD PLAYER ….
Hbkvic@ , my euro days my fave by far but to a certain degree i miss a lot noe wife kids etc been away mackams mancity and fulham on sat so still get to a few .
Mark hbkvic @ we all want succsess and i hope we all get what we want roll on feb 1st .
Solanostrumpet , imo what a load of tosh ,”IF” “MAYBE” “COULD” what happened happened mike was the owner end of same as freddy etc , we can all make things up !
cornish-magpie @ 394
BBC still have nothing up bout this….see they kept up to date!
Apparently DL read this and went for it…you’re welcome

Aye Dave I hope so, “if” we get a striker in Jan I’d still prefer Cisse even if he is playing in the ACN, much prefer him over Maigi

Nothing sealed yet. If we pull it off I’ll run naked down my street with a cucumber up my arse, film it, and post it on here for all to see!
Not when I’m around please mate
Richie – i did say the other day that wanted cisse but chances were 3/10 …maybe DL say that and felt pity in my lack of faith?
Jay – I’m picking the cucumber up off you tomorrow
Jay Jay…ya’d be safe enough mate, he’d only mistake you for a carrott not a cucumber

major major signing .. superb yet again .. look at the players we have got in and all for less than judas .. unblvbl business
I’ll meet you by aldi, but then leave you to it, want nowt to do with that mate
I LOVE MIKE ASHLEY
i bet this signing puts fear into the teams around us vying for a european place . Lets face it we now have 2 goal scoring Forwards who will be playing with each other over the next month or so for their country . Can’t wait too see these 2 in action together Pace , Strength , Technical ability and Goals galore . O yeah then their is HBA to too add to that too
Liverpool made a major major f uck up and MA totally took the p iss out of them …soooooooooooooooo funny hahahaha
@mark , this is a happy day so we wont bicker ha , but you are right the team should not have been relegated but a string bad decitions as long as our arm made by MA caused that ! and the reality is if we are going to judge MA as our owner then the best he has managed in 5 years is 12th ! if that improves then i will change my opinion ….. thats WHEN not IF or MAYBE but when !
I’ve just seen the bullshit bus on the A1 – had a sign on the front window saying “destination: mediocrity” but it looked like the driver was frantically trying to do a u-turn!
Knew being a ginger tosser would come in handy one day
Toonsy @ 404 piss off thats a cucumber to Jay but is really only a gherkin
Richie @ 401 yeah mate you called it spot on
you could have posted my reply where I agreed with you 
Lads
Cisse – £10m
Ba – £0m
HBA – £7m
Cabaye – £5m
Tiote – £4m
Krul – £0m
Santon – £6m
Obertan – £3m
TOTAL : £One hairy adopted bindipper
Holy fuck, it’s official!
I’ve been bleating on about this guy since last year based solely on his stats–I’ve never even seen him play!
Holy fuck!
Liam
…owa the moon wi signing him like, none of the others really got me excited 
JJ you havent asked how or with what he’s picking it up
TOONCHICKEN .. there are quite a few bullshit bus passengers sat eating humble pie and trying to find something to moan and groan about but as usual none of them have got the balls to come out and admit they were wrong ..
Shitting hell – now he’s going round and round in circles!!! #bullshitbus
Jay
Dave…I tried but it wouldn’t copy and paste……might have had something to do with the fact it was invisible
TC @413 – aye, had to pick up some mackems
Aye richie
Lets not put too much pressure on but what a steal.
I actually think knowing our club we got him for cheaper. We are not in europe yet we have attracted one of the highest goal to game ratio strikers and we have the other!
Brother Liam, we were just talking about him yesterday! I was saying “Why don’t they just resurrect that deal from the summer?”
Liam Southern .. exactly – there it is 35 mill well spent. Congratulations to MA
I’d wait until the window shuts before anyone starts gloating about who’s right and wrong, if anyone. Just enjoy today
… That said @388 JJ was clearly wrong
What’s the chance he’s a replacement for and not in addition to Ba?
1 BULLS HIT BUS – ABANDONED WITH BROKEN AXLE AND DEEPLY EMBARRASSED OWNERS TOO ASHAMED TO SHOW THEIR FACES ON NUFCBLOG.CO.UK HAHAHAHAAH WHOOOOP
RICHIE, if someone goes, divent worry, we’ll get an inordinate amount of money and buy a load more quality players at much better prices … there is no argument over who has been right here.
Toonpipes I will admit I was wrong because I didn’t think that Jabba the c@nt would pay more than £6 mil on a player. But if you don’t mind I will reserve final judgement till the end of the window, to see if we get a defender in that we need and hopefully we won’t be losing any of our big players to pay for Cisse .
We still need a defender…..
FSOTC – Aye me lad you would think we were well connected
Can i just remind you all that Cwarr07 said this morning that erdinc and his reps were at the ground….bless him he sort of was right.
But message here dont listen to his garbage!
And the paps dont have a clue!
Dave, fair enough mate …. im over the moon!!! .. this guy is meant to be a goal machine and will bring incredible pace to the front line that will scare the s hit out of teams .. demba can play behind him and just score and score and score …… finally, i hope we get a defender in too – but as with all the other transfers, i intend to be patient in the blf that if we dont sign someone its cus the right deal wasnt there and we wait til it is … if someone goes, see my comment @ 430
4-2-3-1
Krul
Simpson – Willo – Colo – Santoon
Tiote – Cabaye
Jonas – Ba – HBA
Cisse
looks good to me
I reckon this is the kinda of deal that could convince Colo his future lies at the Toon.
I honestly believe we could kick on now and finish above the bindippers… provided Agent Pikey doesn’t blow his cover!
Still the defender is the Monpellier cpt
yangwe Malmsteen or whatever his name is
prem and up .. wow what a forward 6! …. here we gan pictures on sky now ..
Don’t tell the others we’ve got a Bat-phone (fat phone?) to Ashley’s office, Liam.
Holy fuck….
Richie @ 427 your right mate. it seems like a lot of fans have allready decided that Jabba is god, but I tend to go by past history so will wait till the window closes, because I think it’s still a possibility that we could lose players
Yngwie couldn’t possibly be a defender. Not with those chops.
Can Ba & Cisse play together? I mean, are they too similar?
Dave
Jabba = Budha = God
Toonpipes…and if we bought no one else this window and sold Krul, Colo, Tiote and Ba tomorrow then it wouldn’t be so clear cut would it
I don’t think any of the big names will go, just pointing out that while the windows open owt can happen and I’d prefer to enjoy the signing rather than trying to point score……….except where JJ is concerned, he’s fair game
TP @ 434 I asked above but is he a nippy striker ?
fsotc
watch senegal.
Ba likes a big man to play off. Cisse is a beast.
Dave, hes lightning
What just happened today..i mean not only did we sign a striker, we got a damn good one in, did it quick and stole a mark over our rivals above and below! Fricking great day
Dave – even if nee one gets sold this window, the same old shite will get trotted out again the next.
Why not just enjoy the moment?
TC@436…..that’s the main one for me now, get Colo signed up
@liamsoutherntoon , yeh 35mill wow thats exelent so pleased you dident add on the 5 mill nolan 6 mill jose 2mill routledge plus all the other revenue made by the club but WOW!!
@TOONPIPES, EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID HAS COME TRUE TONIGHT WE ARE IN EUROPE WE ARE NOT GOING TO SELL ANYMORE TOP PLAYERS AND WE HAVE WON A TROPHEY ! ow no we havent we have signed a good player and the window is not shut till feb 1st so once again had ya pash bonny lad divvent get ya knickers in a twist
Looking at that photo on the club website the deal was done hours ago. it’s still light for example….
Richie, knock yourself out mate .. ive been enjoying what MA has been doing for years so, mebs this is a new experience for you .. i’m just supplementing that buzzzzzzzz and i get that from seeing the bullshit bus spinning its wheels in a ditch
Preman….Ba’s a couple of inches bigger than Cisse
Shouldn’t you be down the allotment, Toonsy?
Most of the Anti Ashley talk is drying upon this site and I expect it to dry out a bit more after today. There are still a few dinosaurs around though, fans should run the club, blah blah, grow up will ya!
Cheeky twunts – making us pay for the interview…
http://www.nufc.co.uk/page/TV/InterviewsDetail/0,,10278~2580573,00.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
What happened to the £35m?
Toonpipes…not at all, I can see the good Ashley has done, but I also see the bad. I prefer to celebrate when something good happen at NUFC and just enjoy it, you prefer not to and prefer to concentrate on trying to belittle people “knock yourself out mate”
richie@
bigdave@
well said lads let them rant and rave that MA is god blah blah !
Great news if true.
Keith, you’ve got nee argument mate .. try calculating the wages spent on the players we have bought in and the agents fees paid on all of those new players and the insurance costs on each of those players .. no doubt you have already considered that because of the fact we have about 10 players in for the 4 that we sold, that the wages / agents fees / insurance costs will have more than doubled, probably trippled .. how many other clubs have bought as many players of such high quality .. ?? i’ll tell you NO ONE .. so wind yer neck in and get behind the club you are supposed to be a supported you vibe assassinator
People say players might be sold and still don’t trust Ashley but why don’t you sit down and have a think about it for a few minutes and think of it this way…
If any player leaves, it will be a fringe player OR if it’s a star player, it will be because someone has offered us Andy Carroll type money.
BUT
For those who still don;t trust Ashley, why would he buy a player for 10 million, giving him the number 9, with that player knowing the quality we have here and then selling our better players under his nose and also knowing that many other big clubs would bid for him.
The fact is, Pardew will have assured him about this clubs ambition and showing him the league table which wouldn’t have been lost on him anyway.
So I hardly think Ashley is gonna dismantle a team/squad that is fast becoming top class and the envy of many fans of other clubs.
This isn’t a time for negativity, it’s a time for ball rubbing excitement and those who hit the negative ( we will sign no one and sell Tiote e.t.c) need to have a serious think about it and channel your thoughts into good vibes and give Ashley the credit he deserves because he’s took all the shit that any man can take for mistakes made, so now he deserves the praise for the excellent job he’s doing as owner.
ritchie@457 , aye spot on
TC @ 448 I cant speak for anyone else but if that happened I would credit Jabba with showing ambition and putting the club on a better footing to push on to the next level.
But I will wait till the window slams shut before I do, as I would hate to make a fool outta myself, and if that makes me a neg, moaner etc etc so be it.
Reet – too much excitement for me for one day.
Catch ya’s all after.
Toon Toon!!
Richie
I did say they may push it to as high as £7.5mil for a striker.
But its apparently higher than that.
Still if they announce they fee as undisclosed, I could be right.
Plus, in situations like this, I quite enjoy being wrong.
Dave – like you did when you said Barton wouldn’t leave for QPR?
Haha – only messing mate
Well said Wolfie ..
Wolfie….I’m ball rubbing as I read your comment
Anyway can’t keep my eyes open… Good day.
Neet feckers.
JJ…I know mate, just messing although it should have been beneath me
Very interested to see Ba and Cisse play together. Have to say this is an excellent move but surprised a CB didn’t come first. Also how to bring Ben Arfa into the starting lineup with these 2? It calls for some tactical thinking from Pardew but with the 3 together it could be a stunning attack. Surely this gives us a chance to finish in the top 6 provided injuries at the back don’t decimate us again.
you paid for his flight
you paid for his flight
you sad makem bastards
you paid for his flight
i agree with RICHIE @457
Geordietwo .. its gona be wicked .. lookin forward to the senegal match on satd neet ……. i would say the reason a cb hasnt come in yet is becos the right deal isnt there ..
BB….I’d heard that too, though I think it may be some mischief making…..but ya can’t let the truth get in the way of a good story
Beardsleys boots .. you a bit more positive about the toon today?
I can understand that there will be negativity and people will say this could be in preparation for BA being sold but……
It seems like Ba would not leave in this transfer window at least and cohis move not pursude Ba to want to stay he and form a partnership with Cisse and fire us into Europe.
This came totally out of the blue to me, just got in and seen it. I didn’t expect us to spend much money, and this is far more exciting than spending £8-9M on Cissokho IMO (who there is question marks about).
Mackems will be shitting themselves knowing they gotta face that partnership come March. Can’t wait
The fast, muscular forward has not only perfectly complemented Freiburg’s style with his exceptional work ethic, but he’s also proved to be an expert finisher. No wonder they call him “Toumboule” (The Effective One) back home in Africa: Cissé is not one for showboating or flashy stuff; he collects goals in the calm, unassuming manner of a farmer picking ripe apples. His strike against Hamburg was his 11th goal of the season.

Who are they ?? as I am on here pretty regular and I don’t know who your talking about ???
Newcastle insider:
Deal to be concluded at noon tomorrow for Samba, fee believed to be 8 million plus add ons and a 5 and a half year contract to be signed subject to medical at 10 am.
eee-aye-eee-aye-eee-aye-oh
up the premier league we go.
.
I just watched that vid now that its official. wow this kid looks good and knows where the back of the net is.
Woooo Hooooo.
.
So I wonder who’s leaving
.
Ha Ha Pardew full of shit: he was always my number 1 target. lol
I think you’re right about the CB Toonpipes. I hope we have someone lined up. Also has anyone heard how bad the injury is to Cabaye? Would like to see him back in time for Fulham. This has been a brilliant day for us. Is a better winger too much to ask for as well? No offense to Obertan and we have Marveaux to come back so I must be getting greedy!
toonpipes@ he he he “get behind the club you blah blah” how very patronising of you and imo i have a very strong argument …. i am allowed an opinion arent i ? you trip yourself over and knock yourself out bonnylad time will tell who is right not buying or selling a player ! if we finish high in the league or win a cup or get into europe that is sucsess , not relegation or 12th or 13th you see the things i talk about are fact not what might happen or what would be nice and what its like living in fluffy cloud cookoo land so for the third time tonight , had ya pash bonny lad calm down and get all irate when we achieve those things and try not to be rude x
ha ha pipes old bean, I still think we should expect a good kick in the knackers before 1st Feb.
G2 heard hes on crutchs now with pot on foot
im not just saying this but this signing is one of the most exciting for me in a long time …. to watch sholas peformance on sunday then buy a prolific striker has put a big smile on my face!! this cisse looks shit hot !! over the moon and boy i cant wait til the bluddy african cup of nations finishes!!! ba defo helped us get cisse !!! my lasses granda wore the newcastle number 9 and shes just said i hope he respects the shirt not like andy carroll!! which im very sure he will!! happy days eh lads … TOON TOON
‘Cissé is not one for showboating or flashy stuff; he collects goals in the calm, unassuming manner of a farmer picking ripe apples.’ Bloody hell what is he Mr Smooth Operator.
Keith .. you are allowed an opinion but try to keep it to yourself + divent get sensitive
Ice what do you think of Cisse mate ? was he one of the ones you said we should try for
DJG, wait till he plays for us and the opposing goalkeeper gets stretchered off with apple chucking bruising.
BeardsleysBoots ..lets see .. mebs someone else will get a kick in the knackers and we’ll get the defender we want .. coooomne on
That sounds bad about Cabaye icedog. At least we’ve had some good news today as well. Don’t know what to make of wolfie’s rumour that Samba is coming to us as well. I would start to fear I was dreaming and would be afraid to wake up!
Why cant some fans just praise the board for doing this deal? Does my head in when fans cant enjoy moments like this without saying stuff like ‘fatty has something up his sleeve’.
Wolfie if we were to get Samba in tommorrow i will be ball rubbing from then untill the next transfer window . God knows what i would rub if Colo ,Guthrie, Ba and Simpson all signed new deals as well .

seems to like a good supply of crosses into the box mind.
could be a problem right there.
Wolfie where did you hear about Samba ?
Cracking signing, very pleased with it
I’ll keep my opinion on the transfer window open until its over, as Ashley generally causes outrage after he does something good, so hopefully he won’t be a dickhead and wipe the smiles off our faces.
Great start to the transfer window though, and I really hope this is the turning point with the fans and club moving forward together.
sweet signing, over the moon with it..toon toon!
@Samba, aye wolfie, just heard the same rumour m8
AXEL, hang your hairy balls out mate, it’s happening.
BIGDAVE, I can’t reveal my source as I’d get him shot but trust me.
There was a slight clue with Best saying new players will have to dislodge us, but he has said that a few times.
Andrew…I think people are enjoying it and know the board/scouts/manager have done a great job getting him in, but alot are going to be worried about players going, we have some cracking players who are attracting alot of interest so until the window shuts the fear factor will be there.
DAVE aye top player mate,often said we should go for him and hes cheap,did you know that he had the same number of goals as that DZEKO in the german lge and he was in a top team,city payed 32mill for him
MARK, he will be a very good addition Samba, strong as an ox and one man mountain and I bet he’s got a massive knob but I’m not queer so I won’t mention about whether he has a massive knob or not.
@TOONPIPES , ha i enjoy sharing my opinions with you so i think i will continue im off to bed now to have a dream about cup finals 2nd in the league and a semi final in eufa cup …. nah that really happened dident it under Sheperd , you never know one day you might be able to say the same about the messiah mike ……. but not yet pipes not yet its still a dream nitey nitey
Pics of Cisse today… http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/40191515@N05/6716447805
WOLFIE yeah i will get them out , but they are not hairy , i shave mine .
night Keith, try not to dream about the debt that Sheperd got us into or the fact that it was him that sold to MA the man you dislike so much
If we have a strong finish to the season wouldn’t the revinue virtually pay for a signing like this every season anyway without Ashley losing money?
Andrew @ 494, think about those people that made it off that cruise boat that turned turtle the other day.
If they go on another cruise, how do you think they will feel?
A bit wary I would imagine, and expecting the worst to happen at any time.
Well its a bit like that with us and Ashley. He’s kicked us in the knackers before, so some of us are wary that he will do it again.
Plus this is his trade mark move all over.
Give us the good news before the bad news.
Just dont come over all surprised when it happens.
If history is anything to go by, yes we could be ass raped in the morning, but all the more reason to enjoy the present and hope there’s no rude awakening. Samba too though
what’ll toonsy do for that?
AXEL, mmmmmmmmm, I love a smooth ball sack for some reason, I just love the feel of the smoothness, rubbing my hand up and down it mmmmmm.
I’m thinking of getting my own balls shaved because of that.
BB – there is a pattern alright. Liked your chant earlier
Ice yeah seems like a real good buy, and seems like a decent lad so onwards and upwards hopefully
Wolfie Jamie Redknapp seems to think that he will be going to spuds
TP @ 509 did SJH not have more say in selling to Jabba ?? or does that not fit your argument
@wolfie
defo agree m8…about him having a big nob. ive superslo..moed every clip of him as hes one of my favorite “blackguysintightshorts” players. no:2 actually just behind Yaya Toure
Obviously I hope I am wrong.
I just want it to be feb 1st tomorrow already.
.
When somethings too good to be true, it usually is.
what the lads agent has said
http://nufcfans.co.uk/slider/exclusive-newcastle-beat-a-host-of-top-clubs-to-sign-papiss-cisse-agent/
Howay BIGDAVE, Who are you gonna believe…me or Redknapper.
MARK, aye, Toure and apparently he’s known as Yaya bungee cock in the ManCity dressing room.
Big Dave, are you sayin Shepherd was not responsible for the pickle we got into and that him makin over 55mill whilst leaving the club in debt was ok?
Do you remember Keegan saying ‘you will never see that money’ … well he was wrong wasnt he ..
ICEDOG – great quotes, so good to see the club working so hard
nice link Icedog.
We are shit-hot in the buying/selling stakes, we must have a decent team of negotiators. hats off to them..
Even Derek ‘fuck-off, we want 35mill, cunts’ Llambias plays is part..
http://www.clubcall.com/sunderland/striker-linked-with-cats-move-2-1368622.html ……I hope they don’t sign him, he’s a quality striker and way oot of their league
*his
I’m obviously one of those “Fans should own the club” people and I still am. But credit where it’s due: This could be a brilliant signing.
I especially like the way they publicly said “no striker for us this year” and then went out and got one. They’re clearly trying to put people off their trail in the market. Good stuff.
Just watched the interview on nufctv and he said that last night at 11pm he got the flight over very short notice by the sounds of it, seems keen to play for us and let the fans know that he wants to prove he is worth the money
once again i love mike ashley
TP when did I say that
I simply stated that SJH had as much to do with it ?
Toonpipes,
Keegan said that about the summer – he was right, we spent nothing as we made any money spent back in sales. The money spent on Cisse now can be seen as money from the new sponsorship and the season ticket deal a few months ago.
Christ, Ashley may have won a poker game or just been drunk today for all we know. Either way, Keegan was right about his comment on the SUMMER transfer window.
TP @ 522 how do you know thats the Carroll money they used ??? it could be the virgin money ??? no
or the advertising money or the re-naming money
That 4-3-3 formation we played a bit on Sunday would certainly look tasty about now…
Ba-Cisse-Ben Arfa
Cabaye-Tiote-Jonas
Santon-Collo-Willo-Simpson
Krul
Dave, it was the money from SportsDirect for the stadium naming rights
can believe ppl are arguing! we’ve just signed a cracking striker ffs is this not what ppl want? lets just enjoy the moment
Whoa, is that FJ? Ain’t seen you in a dog’s age, brother. How’s things?
Anybody seen him play a full game? I just know his stats in a vague way.
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew admitted: “Ever since Andy Carroll left, Papiss was my first choice in the specific role he has at the end of the play.
“He is a finisher with an already-established CV in the Bundesliga, where we have monitored him for the best part of two years.
“Unfortunately he was out of reach, financially, for us in the summer, but it recently became apparent that Derek Llambias and Lee Charnley could do the deal in this window.
“It has become obvious this season that the team and the club have done exceptionally well, and Mike Ashley has backed me to bring this player to the club.
“I would like to thank Mike, Derek and everyone involved for getting this deal over the line.
“I spoke to Demba about Papiss, and he cannot wait to join up with his team-mate in Newcastle.
“In the short-term, of course, he is at the Africa Cup of Nations, but the competition he will bring to our squad when he joins up with us should inspire the players and reassure them of this club’s ambition.
“Our fans know that this shirt brings its own pressures. One of the iconic numbers in world football – the number nine of Newcastle.
“It will be only fair that Papiss is given time to understand the responsibility it brings.
“As the manager, I wish him all the luck in the world to bring success to himself and this club.”
Newcastle managing director Derek Llambias added: “We are very pleased to bring Papiss to the club.
“It is a signing which perfectly complements the type of side Alan is building, and we are sure he will prove to be an excellent acquisition going forward.
“He has travelled a long way to come and sign with us today, and we thank the Senegalese Football Federation for their assistance in helping us secure the player.”
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16599702.stm
Well if he’s half as good as Ba then it’s happy days.
Dave, ok .. then thas cool .. point is that Shep and SJH in it together + Keith thinks they were the dogs b ollocks, and we did have good years, but they both responsible for taking a lot of cash out of the club and they chose to sell to MA .. so mebs Keith shud tone down his love for Shep and SJH and beef up his support for the current regime .. any case, im buzzin and cannit get to kip
Played 17 scored 9 so far this season
must be shit then ….NOT
Cant wait til March 5th. SMB’s are gonna shyte themselves.
Howay the Lads.
MDS that line up looks pretty tasty .. imagine if we got cissokho or samba .. im just wondering if the reason the cissokjo deal went quiet was not becos we dont want him or arent goin to sign him but because we had to sort this transfer out .. mebs weve got some more buzzy news to come
Beardsley – do you know if the lads will be back from the african cup nations for the snland game?
Would also love for Best to keep scoring and give Pardew a serious headache…
Now for a defender…
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/7439583/
TP…if they reach the final then they’ll be back for the Wolves game
FJ i imagine the sponsorship deal is an extension of the NR one seeing as they were bought out, and if there’s any increase it’ll be after this season. They’ve said before that part of what screwed the finances up in the first place was getting all sponsorship money upfront and investing it in players, so i can’t see mike doing the extact same thing himself.
And you really think that season ticket deal raised 9-9.5m (assumin €12m is right).
I know they’re just examples you’re giving and there’s plenty more places it could’ve come from too I’m sure, but at the end of the day it’s investment that we didn’t know would be forthcoming, and fair play to them for that. There could be a sting in the tail of course but deal with that when it comes. Keegan didn’t make the comment just referring to the summer, he meant it absolutely, regardless of time. He just made the comments soon after the sale. Anyway.
Big Dave – you seem to be getting it in the ear a bit today like, always found you pretty balanced myself but maybe that’s not allowed
Richie, ok thats not too bad .. pity not back for spurs away .. thats gon be tough
pipes- Clearly I know nothing. And this signing has blown me away.
Fuckin love NUFC.
Dub…exactly said that a while back, the Virgin deal now is carrying on the NR one then the new 2 yr deal comes in for next season, and the club said years ago they wouldn’t spend revenue in advance.
Point about Keegan is that it was his perceived mistreatment that really upset everyone .. and i have never blvd was as one sided .. i think he chucked a hissy fit when he was told he had to work within the financial constraints we all aware of and him saying we wud never see the money is typical of such a hissy fit ………… i think MA got too much bad press that was undeserved
Beardsley – i am properly buzzing – cant stop typing!
TP…true, but on the plus side, we could have had both of them back for Spurs and still lost as it’ll be a toughie, I’d rather have them back for the more winnable ones(on paper)…….of course Senegal could get knocked out early doors, then they’d be back sooner
I agree with Toonpipes@550
I dont think we should go over the keegan gate shit again pipes.
Just let it rest now.
RICHIE, I’d rather senegal win it and then they come back cock a hoop, plus they have some rest when they do get back which means they will be fresh and raring to go.
Wolfie, ive had serious battles on here and Ed’s site about that .. but it really p isses me off that whole situation – he took us to court for loads of money just because he cudnt get his head around the fact that he cudnt buy Lampard etc etc
Just out of interest, have the two Dembas ever played together before?
Sorry Beardsley – you are right.
Richie, so cud they be back for Spurs then? .. i thought mebs the group stages were goin on until then .. ??
Leon Best will be working his bell end off to bag some goals while they’re away, knowing that he has some serious strikers to emulate.
The fact that we’ve signed him will automatically give the players a lift, plus when we get the centre back in, it will just be jizzing on the dance floor from then on.
Can you imagine the atmosphere when we start with cisse + ba upfront and cabaye and tiote and hba ..holy s hit!!!
Wolfie….Sooner they’re back the better for me, they’d play more games over there too so they wouldn’t really be rested, and I’d be gutted if they were away the whole time and we missed out on finishing above Liverpool by a point
Toonpipes@556,I know mate and it done my nut in as well but luckily he is a chapter that will not be repeated and he didn’t get his own way so I’m thankful for that and it’s all coming right for us now.
TP….not sure, would need to check.
RICHIE, we will blow Liverpool away and they will be a distant memory in 6 weeks time when we have a 10 point lead over them.
Richie, my dream for this season is to finish above liverpool
good point wolfie. I hope Best keeps banging them in as I think Demba 2 will need time to settle in in Newcastle etc.
Do we know if he is married or anything? does he have a family to bring over from Germany?
We need Besty on top form until he is ready, make it difficult for the manager and stay injury free.
We’ve got them at home in March i hope we f ucking batter them to f uck
TP @ 566. Same here and also the double over the scum
Thing with Bestie though is it could easily backfire….I mean, he quite clearly felt the pressure playing alongside Ba to get some goals himself even though he was doing well enough. What will he be like now I wonder?
again
Cisse, who had nine goals for Freiburg so far this season, spoke to Newcastle’s official website about his move: “I would like to thank everybody for their welcome, and for inviting me to sign for the club. It is an honour to play for such a big club and I am looking forward to it.
“I want to pay back the confidence the Club have shown in me, and give the supporters something to be proud of.
“I am aware of the huge importance of the number nine shirt, and when I spoke with the manager he made it very clear how important this shirt is.
“I will treat it with the respect and I hope to do my very best in this shirt.”
liverpool spent 35 mill cazza, 20 odd mill henderson, 18 mill smoggie winger hahahahaahahahaahaha
Wolfie @ 572 ..doesnt get better than that .. humble and hardworking .. awesome
Their last group game would be 29th Jan so they could be back for Blackburn away if they didn’t progress(unlikely)
1/4 final 4th Feb Villa is the day after that so would be more likely back for Spurs if they got knocked out then
Semi Final 8th could be back for Spurs on the 11th
Final 12th Wolves
aye n I hope their bubble has burst too.
Taxi for dog leash
Biggest spenders in the window so far.
Stick that in yur reality train and burn it.
Cheers Richie .. lets see .. i think that we still have enough buzz but when you think of tiote and ba and cisse to come in – will be another level up when they do …. reet gon kip catch yous tomoz …. mebs cissokoho will be wrapped up .. i put it at 68% chance
Well said DJG .. see my earlier similar comments – very very amusing.
Papiss Cisse has told the club that his wife Ainya convinced him his move to England should go ahead and was more than happy with his choice of club, Newcastle.
She said through a translator ” of course it was his choice to make but I feel it would benefit us all with a new lifestyle and our daughter Boushina is only 3 so will make adapting quite easy”
She also said of their 2 German Shepherds, Kula and Lashli, that their quarantine will be a strain but it’s a small price to pay and will soon have them by her side.
ha ah wolfie, where’d you dig that up from?
Out me head Beardsley..
Sounds convincing though doesn’t it.
If Carlsberg could do marriages
From the depths of his warped mind
i thought as much. nice tho
your talent is wasted Wolfie.
You should be a writer for the news of the world.
They were good at making shit up
so are we gonna make 600 or have wedried up?
Time for some Rodzilla me thinks
Howay Rodz where are ya.
Good bargains $10 shoes just for you
BEARDSLEY,I was a writer for them, why do you think they closed down.
“so are we gonna make 600″….be rude not too, I’m fecke like,0120 here.
600 must be unheard of on a non match thread
Just thought I’d add my twopennorth in the Ashley Satan/saviour debate.
If, and it’s a big if, the window closes and noone important leaves, then you’d have to agree that everything that MA has done has been for the good of the club. The key to being a successful businessman or a successful gambler is timing. When to buy. When to sell. When to call. When to fold. Ashley has played his cards close to his chest throughout his tenure and we’ve all bleated and moaned at his lack of activity and then KAPOW!!! All this time he was waiting for the right hand to play.
I dunno. Maybe he does know what he’s doing after all. Maybe we should back off and let him get on with it.
Just a thought.
Soooo which central defender do we want then?
I hear that Jason Prior picked up an injury in training before the reserves match at leeds today.
Shame for the lad, trying too hard to impress.
MRT, I agree.
RICHIE, I think Samba would be a great addition and we will have him tomorrow at noon.
Richie 591- Vincent Kompany?
well Richie, I cant see us going for Samba, can you?
Probably be some unknown gem tho
Has anyone heard of Rafesse Toulago?
The problem with Samba(who I don’t think we’d get), is who would leave? that’s not an anti-Ashley quote before ya jump down my throat Wolfie
but I can’t see, Taylor Colo or Samba being happy to sit on the bench, so who would go?
has to be squad rotation then Richie.
In preperation for our assault on the champs league
Wolfie…is it some sort of venereal disease?
If we want squad depth, then someone always has to miss out.
BB…aye ya could be right
dont forget willo aswell. He is doing ok too
right thats me Lads. Later.
Toon Toon
BB…true, but quality like those 3 would be hard to keep happy…..unless ya winning stuff……so Samba, the FA Cup and European football it is then
BB…aye he’s doing great, but I think he would tolerate being on the bench…for a while anyway.
RICHIE@599, I don;t know mate, I just made the name up, so yeah we’ll go for a STD
Reet. I’m off too, nearly 2am man and doesn’t look like Toonsy’s putting a new thread up
gan steady lads. HWTL
Wolfie….I kna, I googled it
Lets hope we still in the FA cup when our guys get back from the ACoN.
Anyone think we might have a good chance of winning it?
MikeA….as good a chance as anyone outside the obvious ones
Lets hope for a couple of good draws then
Any truth to the rumours that the mackems paid for Cisses flight over so he could have talks with them?
We will win the FA cup this season and if we don’t I will borrow Toonsy’s preserved, slightly excrement stained cucumber and stick it up my bum whilst sat with legs up on the computer desk with a web cam in full view of you all, plus I’ll attach 4 metal crocodile clips to my scrotum as well, that’s how confident I am.
“Unfortunately he was out of reach, financially, for us in the summer, but it recently became apparent that Derek Llambias and Lee Charnley could do the deal in this window.”
Maybe Branson has stuck his hand in his pocket?
Toonsy – the deal is done… when u gona upload the video of uh…hehe
seems as a crackin player, quick reaction and am sure will add goals. now giv meh a quality CB and close the transfer window without loosin the starting XI …. get rid of smith n co….. hehe just made my morning n Dubai… hehe gona head to pup straight away..wow
Looks a canny signing.
and a striker similar to BA plays from Midfield and runs to position… and got 2 good legs…. cant complain… long live NUFC
WOLF… only if we dont send anyone out the door this window and also none of the back 4 gets injured
its gona be painful
wolfie… if we sign Samba tomorrow then i might need scrotum after u and toonsy… hehe
and get batty ashly tatoo (me kissin his ass)
