Pat Murphy confirms 11 m bid for McCormack
As much as anything I'd like us to throw our wieght around and fuck Norwich over too. We haven't done enough to send out the message that we're looking up and not still panicking about what's behind us. Fuck re-sale value in this case. Whether it's RM or someone else I want us to poach a rivals best player, and from under the nose of another rival, stick two fingers up and bag ourselves a goalscorer. Newcastle are throwing their weight around in the transfer window and look nailed on for top spot. We've got to up our fucking game here.

I'd still like another flrward but as I said elsewhere I think Gabby is rated by RDM.

In fairness there's some very good stuff from in that video, along with some defending as bad as anything we've seen down B6 the last few years. Looking at him though worries me, he's nearly 30 and looks 2 Ginsters pasties away from turning into Grant Holt.

Yes from me.

Some nice stuff though wasn't there? The little spin and volley, plus he has this... movement thing. Movement. Hmm. I saw that once at Villa Park.

The ability to finish with both feet and first time, makes him unpredictable too.

He's certainly more a full English than a croissant and juice man.

So Clark/Clarke/Clakkers is on his way to the Toon?
I don't think Clark is as bad as some may think. Saying that, he's not a first choice by any stretch and 5 million is a good sum for him.

Do we need a new CH now? I think there's more pressing areas to address first, but I wouldn't be happy going into September with Lescott, Baker and Okore as potential partners for Elphick. Richards will definitely go.

He looks the sort who'd order the optional extras like a bit of black pudding and an extra sausage.

I know the risks of forming an opinion based on YouTube clips, BUT, I was really impressed with that.

He looks like a proper striker, and a goal threat from free kicks too.

Just what we need IMO.

I'd rather have a slightly quicker more mobile striker than McCormack like Andre Gray but I'm realistic - to hurt another team by buying him would be a good thing - don't care about resale. Him and Ayew would work well I think and if someone pours some concrete into Adamas glass legs we might be ok.

Might shut LTA up, though he'll find something else to whine about I'm sure.

Here at Honkers Take Away

We are celebrating Ciaran Cacks move to Newcastle by having a Ciaran Clark style party, including heading an own goal without spilling your pint, slicing a pass into the buffet sandwiches, attempting a Ciaran Cryuff turn up the bar and losing possession of your Prawn Balls  and the all time Clark classic, lunging two footed into someone carrying a round of drinks!

Let's all have a Wonga Conga!

McCormack looks like a no nonsense natural born goalscorer to me. It seems years ago since we had any one in the team that knows how to lead the line, have an eye for goal and with good movement...it would be completing refreshing to see this down at VP rather than shit effort statue that is Gestede fumbling around up front like a school boy that has just found a pair of tits. Get the deal done.
