Bowyer is a hard working, solid player - and he was in pretty good form at the back end of the season. He's good as backup in midfield to cover for injuries etc, and if Amdy Faye goes (please, please, please) then we'll need extra cover.

It looks like Dirk Kuyt maybe on his way to St. James'! He's a quality player and was linked with Liverpool sometime ago. I was still hopeful we'd sign him but I've not heard nothing since. :?

Nice.

He's been making the right noises and seems very keen and a likeable lad. I'd prefer to see him at Newcastle than Van Nistelroy. True, Van Nistelroy is a superb player - but he is a disruptive influence, and we have had far too many of them in the past.

I agree, Nistlerooy is a great player but he's a pain in the neck and he plays for the other Utd!

Kuyt is definitely an honest grafter and he can put the ball in the back of the net ...remind you of anyone :wink:

Liverpool back in for me - Kuyt

I read in the paper that you're after SWP 8)

I love all the excitement of the transfer window. All the speculation ...will he, won't he? The Mickey Owen saga last summer was a classic.

As long as Chelsea leave Simao alone we'll be ok :?

Newcastle have been linked with Steed Malbranque from Fulham.

I'm quite happy with that - got rid of trouble maker Bowyer, waste of space Amdy Faye and bring in a decent player like Malbranque. Reduce the wage bill and strengthen the squad at the same time. Cool.

Maybe you should try and outbid the red scum for your local boy, carrick!

Bobby had the option of buying Carrick a couple of years ago for £2million. And he chose not to sign him. What a big mistake that was!

Yeah that would've been good...he fits in well at spurs though

Hope Bowyer is fully fit this time - all that experience on a freebie is good business for us I think.

Carrick is not worth the £14m Taggart is quoting for him - poor tackler and poor workrate
