He was / is fucking shit.

What a day this could be, if we complete the McCormack deal as well.

Interesting what Clark said - is it a dig that he still thinks Villa aren't moving forward?

"Newcastle is a massive club so I'm really happy to be here," said Clark.

"Importantly, it is a club that is moving in the right direction and pushing for the right things, so I'm really excited to now be a part of that.

"Things seem to have progressed really quickly over the last few days but I'm delighted to have got it all done and be a part of this squad."

Its a club that has a poor squad than they did when they were relegated. Doubly so with you in the defence, you bumbling oaf.

Not a lot different really, but the second sentence wasn't necessary.
Presumably there's going to be something thanking us for developing and paying him for 15 years too.

Players always come out with this pish.  It really shouldn't be analysed or taken seriously.

Give me £60k a week and I'll tell you I support the B.lues.  I really will.

I was going to post the same. It's the same standard line footballers always come out with when they join a new club. He's given us decent service so good luck to him.

If he "said" anything at all. Someone in their PR Department probably wrote it.

Exactly. For that money, I'll cross my fingers and tell how how proud I am and how I've heard the fans are great.

I'm not sure if Clark is having a go at us more than just praising Newcastle.  Whatever the case at the moment there is an air of truth to his comments, but they may not be so true come the end of the season.  We have to make him eat his words :)

I wonder if Nahki Wells has even been considered?

Unless I'm missing something, he seems to work hard, is two-footed, can head the ball and handle a set-piece.
. . . .  and he's only at Huddersfield.

Mentioned this guy a couple of times. Think he'd be an excellent buy.
He ripped us apart when he played for Bradford.
I'm another who mentioned him months ago.
I wouldn't hesitate a bid for him

I will genuinely miss his occasional thunderous tackle and his... err... occasional thunderous tackle

Meant to put this here.

The Evening Mail have stuck their oar in.

What air of truth?  They were relegated with us and have lost the better playerd from that team. They've done an ok job of replacements but i honestly don't understand the idea that they're going to walk to the title.
