The Inevitable January Transfer Market Topic

[The Future]

He really is. Great bargain at only 4 million and a player you would want during a relegation scrap.

[ONO]

Nolan isn't that great but for a team fighting relegation he will be great!

[Summers]

I think Nolan's superb. He's a great footballer, and a battler.

And 4m for him is amazing.

[ONO]

I've always thought he was a good player, but I think there are better options out there. But, as you said 4m for him is value for money alright.

[Pesci]

I'm loving all the Prem-based players being bought this window.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Lol N'Zogbia could be going to Wigan as part of the deal bringing Ryan Taylor to the Toon

Suck on that Charlie! And to think you were being linked with Villa and Arsenal

He doesn't have to accept.

[therockbox]

It was him doing most of the linking, though.

[Pesci]

Wigan > Newcastle anyway, let's be fair.

[Summers]

Wouldn't mind N'Zog. He'd do as bench backup for Milner & Young - which is something we lack.

[Crybaby Bunting]

I know that... but I was talking more about him wanting to go to a MUCH bigger club than the ones that actually had intrest in him. Like Lyon and whatnot... when he was really being linked with Bolton and West Brom

[ONO]

He obviously isn't happy at Tyneside. If my manager got my name wrong, and not even close I would want to leave.

[Scott McFly]

Nolan's a great buy for Newcastle but I'm surprised he would leave Bolton after so long. I thought he would've been there for life, but I guess he needed a new challenge and all that jazz. And playing for Newcastle will certainly be nothing but a challenge.

Quick question, I'm assuming Keane can be transferred to another club since he never played for or was registered at Spurs at the start of this season? Otherwise that would be 3 clubs in 1 season. Same goes for Diouf and Bolton I presume.

[Crybaby Bunting]

What the hell? I've seen something on Sky Sports about Wigan spending £6m on N'Zogbia, surely he could have gone for around £4m or something, he's just publicly said he doesn't want to play for Newcastle any more and £6m was always going to be his regular fee.

Ah well, as long as this brings Ryan Taylor in the other direction then it's good.

How the hell can Newcastle get away with some brilliant pieces of business over the past few days? I mean seriously, they've sold Given and N'Zogbia for huge fees, and picked up Taylor and Nolan for virtually nothing

I think Nolan is great, but they haven't done brilliant business at all. They've lost arguably the most important player to their team in Given. Without Given, they'd probably be fucking relegated over the last year, or certainly be much worst off for this season. And I always see Zogbia as a damn good player, much better than half the shit Newcastle field on a regular basis. Harper is a pretty good keeper, but I still think losing Given is going to be one heck of a blow to them.

[Gazz]

But Shay, we can work this out, We'll change, we've let ourselves go a bit in the last few years but we still love you, can we just try counselling first? Think of the children?

[Crybaby Bunting]

This window looks like the only winners will be the smaller teams, Wigan and Portsmouth's new signings will shine, as will West Hams, whilst the Spurs striker to come in won't be the right man.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Well the Defoe injury has screwed things up. I dunno who we WILL get but now we'll be desperate to get anyone sadly.

[The Future]

I think Portsmouth are going to get relegated. To me it always looked like Redknapp made his players feel 10 feet tall, built them up and made them believe in themselves but from his first interview Tony Adams was like "We are Portsmouth FC, we are crap" blah blah.

Yeah you have to play for three clubs. But Keane to Spurs might not happen because he only left in the summer, but they got exceptions for Chimbonda and Defoe.
