Has nobody seen the rumours circulating about us trying to sign LePoof from Chelsea, or are they being ignored through a) non-belief or b) fear?

Could we cope with having one of the nations most hated footballers in our side. Normally having the chance to have a European and World Cup winner in our side would fill us with anticipation, but a taller Kets lookalike with a penchant for slagging everyone off!

We do need another Centre Back? What is your opinion.

I'd go for him like a shot. Even if he does do all this slagging and it's not just the rags printing their usual crap, Bobby would just work his magic. Nee problem.

Oh yeah. I can just see him enjoying himself (et famille?) on the sands at Whitley Bay on a wet autumn afternoon, or sightseeing in Benwell. I'd rather stick with Hughes, Goma and Dabs. The thought makes me sick. Yeukkkkk.

Why should it only be me and mine who have this delight to look forward to......make a bliddy man of him if you ask me......

but on the serious side, NO we don't want him surely!

It would sort out any communication problems we had at the back. A back four of Domi, Goma, Lebouf and Charvet would know what each other are saying!

He's a good player (said through gritted teeth!) but no way do we want him here!

Didn't he make some rather derogatory comments about the NE? Then again he seems to have made rather derogatory comments about everyone.

NO NO NO NO NO NON MERCI

Can't see it happening with our current defenders playing so well. Can you lot see Beefcake munching through a stottie?

He is one player I'd consider giving my ST up if he joined. I hate him. He has been pig-ignorant about the NE and isn't as good as he thinks he is.

Ronnie says no chance (Actually they use their favourite phrase - "Wide of the Mark". Thank God!
