[RedReet]

Newcastle United's troubles are showing no signs of easing after Montpellier defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, 23, did not arrive for a planned medical and captain Fabricio Coloccini, 31, failed to resolve his future at a meeting with club officials.

John Terry's long-term future at Chelsea remains in doubt, with the club unlikely to open discussions about an extension to the 32-year-old's contract until the end of the season.

Quite a few on here saying that Newcastle were a better team than us on the strength of one decent season.

can we change the name of at least one of the january 2013 transfer window threads? i realize they're in different fora, but if you're browsing your subscribed threads, there's no way of telling them apart quickly.

Just goes to show the over-reaction to a season where Newcastle massively overachieved. And now they're underachieving just as much.

Typically, I was on a stag with two ****ing Geordies last year when they were doing well and we were struggling and I got ripped apart for it with little come back.

Was bugging me too.

[little dave hedgehog]

[Reece]

I aim to please, even if the majority of the time I fail spectacularly.

[little dave hedgehog]

I hope you're sending them constant messages at the moment.

That’s the worst part about it, I’ll probably never see them again as they were mates of the stag and the one year they do ok, he chooses to go away with them.

I wouldn’t even mind except I was so easily wound up and took the bait every time like an idiot.

The usual muck too, Rafa was ****, Kenny was clueless and Hodgson was a great manager not given a chance.

Rennes have accepted a £9.6m offer from Russian club Rubin Kazan for Yann M'Vila, but the France midfielder favours a move to England.

Yeah but 17m can buy a decent CM which is needed much more than Zaha but Fergie is blind to that.

Not Fergie's style. He prefers more firepower in the final third + he'll offload Nani for decent fee in the summer.

Their scout(s) seem to idolise the French League!

[Mostar]

Their Cheif Scout Graham Carr did some great buys like Cabaye or Ben Arfa.

No reason not to continue with that.
