To be fair he won't be on small wages and having to pay a years worth of wages for a 34 year old could be better spent else where

Hang on a minute... Don't we have £40 million coming our way because of Promotion?

Surely we can afford Andy Cole for a year.

tbf I think that's Bruce's plite way of saying thanks, but no thanks. I don't think he's the type of player we need next year and it seems Bruce thinks likewise.

Thanks Andy. I reckon your signing was the catalyst for some of our other strikers beginning to score goals again.

I would love you to come back in a coaching capacity in a year's time when your contract is up. **thumbup


As for Nugent coming here, he is Everton bound. They were the team he supported as a lad and David Moyes was at the match today, probably to set the wheels in motion.

If Andrew Cole is too expensive for Blues, and will not have a contract offer.
If we are selling Mikael Forsell for £1 million.

Just where is this "silly money" as David Sullivan called it, going to be spent ?

Weren't we, only a few weeks ago, going to pay silly money to get the best ?

There's an emergency board meeting at Newcastle tomorrow, where the pundits are saying Roeder will be sacked.

After the Upson debacle, after Mikael going on loan and then being sold overnight, what chances that Steve Bruce has had enough ?
No doubt the fans will get the blame, but I don't think he can continue after being undermined by the board all the time. I don't think he would want to continue, anymore than Karren did.

I think the focus is on the board, to speak clearly, with one voice and with integrity about our future.

We are in a £40 million landscape, and we can't afford an ageing player ( from whom the youngsters could only learn) and a struggling achiever who can only improve.)

Some straight Talking is needed now, I think

nothing to do with moyes being the ex manager and was involved with some big games v us several years back

i dont rate nugent tbh, given close marking and a decent defender he will struggle

all he has is pace and everyone in the premiership has it as standard

That's just it he is an ageing player who wants silly money. Been there, done that got relegated. Don't want it again.

6m for earnshaw is pretty steep tbf...we should have signed him in the window the year we went down, we spent the amount on jerome in the summer so i dont really see why we didnt :silence: think everyone can agree tho we definatly need 2 new starting strikers...imo DJC,Vine,Jerome will get about 10 goals between them, not good enough to stay up

It's good economics my boy. For one Andy Cole we can get five DJ Campbell's and still have enough change for a nice suit. If I were a rich man........ :boohoo:
