Every now and then a Llamasoftie will say something interesting. Honestly! This is where we will keep these topics so that they don't get deleted.

I look forward to next season, and await your contributions to the the "General Football Discussion Thread".

I for my part will refrain from scouser-baiting because I feel that it is innappropriate, and think that all should be joy, rather than animosity.

Very best wishes to you and your team, and good luck for next season.

8O

Newcastle in Figo talks.

Apparently we are "vigourously pursuing" him, and a deal "could be wrapped up by the end of the week".

What does everyone reckon? IF we get him, does anyone think this a bold and exciting move, or is he another Kluivert in disguise?

Going by most of his performances last year, the guy has totally lost his passion for football.

Indeed I am a man of my words. The first remark you quoted was, how can I say it, a little touch of irony perhaps, nay, a dollop of tongue in cheek, if you will.

Refrain from scouser-bashing? Nay, not whilst they have the wit not to reply! :D (Last comment in jest young man!) :D :D

Had a text message from back home saying it was pretty much certain, but...

I have a horrible feeling that Sr. Figo might be a bit of a sulker if things do't go well. If he comes to Newcastle, I can't imagine him having much stomach for for a fight on a freezing Tuesday night in January versus some team in Dogs of War mode 8O

However, Toon need a bit of luck with the team configuration, IMO and Figo could be to you what McAllister was for us under Ged H.

Well, we wouldn't be paying for him as such, he'd be on a free, apparently. Although with his wages, we'd still be spending a lot of money on him.

Not sure about it yet, but only because I didn't see him play much last season. At the very least, he'd give the whole place a massive list (which we need) and would bring the likes of Ambrose and Milner along tremendously, because they would surely learn from someone of his stature.

Still, I won't start getting excited about it unless it becomes a done deal.

Interesting point. Surely one of these wonder-transfers will work out for us some day...
