Derek Llambias resigns..... This will be fun

Or as Joe said Lamb Barrised

[rossn13]

Joe Kinnear cancels the transfer of center back Douglas who's available on a free and we've been scouting for a good couple of years now.

Andy Thorne?

Newcastle 'reach agreement' with Lyon to sign striker Bafetimbi Gomis

[Richt]

What's the crack with Sissoko this season. Any one seen much of him in friendlies?

didn't play v St Mirren the other night, did against Blackpool last weekend, nothing of note to report from that. Will prob play v Rangers on tuesday night. We play Braga next weekend in the final friendly.

I like Gomis. Been watching him in the French league for ages. He does come across as consistent. He's not prolific but he does bang them in consistently. Expect between 10 to 15 goals a season.

[Moist von Lipwig]

its a bloody signing. Hurrah.

meant to say he played 90 mins. most of our games have loat all shape after an hour anyway when both sides make 7 subs.

[Richt]

Just remembered that he started off really well for you when he joined, but then soon tailed off. Just wondered if he was showing any sort of improvement to his end of season form

[blahblah]

Is he affected by Ramadan?

[dazbowski]

Any clues on the starting CB's?

[Moist von Lipwig]

Colo nailed on. Probably Saylor provided he's fit. Whomever it is will get a run, pardew isn't one for rotation.

[rossn13]

Is he affected by Ramadan?

Ramadan gets earlier every year. Fasting ends on the 7th August this year so it wont be troubling any of your fantasy players

[blahblah]

Indeed, but it is happening now...

[rossn13]

Indeed, but it is happening now...

Pre season form is hard enough to evaluate on its own, let alone factoring in things like Ramadan. They all stuff their faces at night anyway

[morganb]

Is he affected by Ramadan?

For a second there I thought Ramadan was the name of their new centre-back!

[blahblah]

No, they are pi55heads

Not quite the same though is it... I've just spent two weeks in Turkey and trust me you could tell who the fasters were! They put a good spin on it in a BBC doc shown before the Wimbledon final but I bet the fitness coaches hate it.

Anyone with any ideas of N-E France please check the OP for squad list accuracy

Looks good to me, just missing Haidara as a fullback. You could add Sammy Ameobi (forward) who's back from loan this season.

Paul Dummett (full back) been getting a lot of game time pre-season and apparently playing well, Adam Campbell (forward) will get a few run-outs in first team providing he don't loan him out.

Taylor or MBiwa to partner Coloccini for the opener? Taylor's pace against City's stars would worry me but I think he will get the nod?

Exactly what I'm thinking. From a fantasy football perspective I'm staying well clear!

On another note, Remy is out for a month and Adam Campbell has been loaned out for a season... I can only presume due to the abundance of strikers currently in the squad.

[BetPalbettingshop]

Dummet any chance of forcing his way into the team given the Taylor suspension ?(called off the bench for 41mins vrs city after Taylor got sent off)

[fred1266]

Thinking about bringing in Ben Harfa, what you guys think

[rossn13]

He's got a good chance of starting this weekend but only because our 1st/2nd choice left backs are injured (Santon and Haidara). He's a no go fantasy football wise imo.
