pato/augusto/vela/guardado/castillo/dos santos probably some of the best young talent in the world, yet the self titled best league in the world cant attract the worlds best youngsters from south america. seems a bit odd to me.

As for their logo...I think Newcastle has one of the best logos in all of football. Bolton or Fulham sure...they could use some new logos And Michael…I have no idea what you are talking about…I like the classic name and look of Newcastle…the Crew aren’t even popular in the states…I am sure most people couldn’t name them as a MLS team.

Szetela is a pretty decent player. Works hard and does have some skill. Also I believe he has a Polish passport if that helps him get work in Europe. Freddy Adu went to Benfica, and Jozy Altidore will be swallowed up by some decent Euro side as soon as he is 18. Szetela would be a much better signing from America than Gooch was...he probably wont get fat and slow either.

Why can't we have a cool hippity hop styling badge on our strips! Newcastle Magpies sounds so much better than boring old United. I am insanely jealous of “The Crews” badge/ logo on their shirt.

Shady77's got a message from his Dad who works at Teesside airport and has seen Newcastle chairman Chris Mort going out to greet someone off a private jet that flew in from Barcelona. Deco maybe?

The few that do play in this country do OK, I for one do not care where they come from so long as they do the biz. Any one watch the Martian league?

I am off course referring to the film Goal! Are the yanks more aware of us because of the movie? Was it even big over there? Any yankees help us out on the Toons popularity over there. P.S. If you haven't seen the movie goal, don't bother. It really is gash, if you want to see an NUFC movie get the one with the 2 bairns who nick Shearer's car and that. Can't remember the title but it's about trying to afford FFS's extortionate ticket prices. P.P.S. Any 20yr old coming to the club is good, especially if he was the best player at the U20 world cup (word of mouth only not to be taken seriously) this year. Cheaper than Drenthe too (Probably not as good though!) I wonder will he be a real life Nunez. I am off course referring to the film Goal! Are the yanks more aware of us because of the movie?
