If I was James Gardiner, do you think only 27 people in Newcastle would have heard of disc golf?Quote:

mind you, i notice the soft-cawks of today don't seem to play that hole anymore. probably because the reverse spray shot of the above ended up with the disc heading straight onto newy road.... did that a few times too. never lost a disc in that direction though funnily enough.
I'll give you that. :DQuote:

Would not surprise - I know there is still over 2 months to go but our cupboard is looking bare.
No new signings in the vital areas and I still have this nagging feeling someone will poach Heskey before the end of the Euro transfer deadline.
Yeah I reckon heskey might be swayed to stay in England and if Goodwin Gets a good offer from Leeds he may as well take it rather than put up with gve any longer. Will give middleby and co more excuses to flog us with anyway.
middleby press release just out: "we're really proud that our club is producing such good young talent. really, you can't stand in the way of a young man's chance to play overseas.
we wish him all the best and welcome our new player e. space. empty is a gifted midfielder who has a knack of being just about everywhere at all times on the football field, he has great engines and a touch so light you barely even know he's on the ball."

that ususally means we a linked with him by the NH about 10-14 days later.
headline should have been "Jets chasing Bosnar" even though we assume we werent.
no it will be " Jets fail to secure Bosnar" even though we werent after him (assumed)
Ahh ok... i did not realise people spoke about him, i dont really rate him that highly!Quote:

I heard a rumour we are chasing Nathan Burns.
Did you get that from Mike Taylor too?Quote:

Certainly don't feel overwhelmed but not underwhelmed about this either.Quote:

From what I saw of him at Feenux he is a fairly solid midfielder. Sort of box to box but prefers to be in behind the strikers. Actually not to dissimilar to James Brown but probably doesn't think he's a superstar like brown, eg may work for the team more.
tl;dr - an ok footballer but uninspiring and not what we need
Wouldn't he take a foreign spot?? I swear he was an American.
If that's the case, I'm underwhelmed.
I think he might be naturalisedQuote:

The more things change, the more they stay the same
While we're on the topic of adding 2 and 2..
If we sign smith and sign burns, there's no squad spots left for a centre back
Pretty obvious then. No Burns.Quote:
