RE McLean (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Jan 22, 10:11:46
- Be amazing if he does his ACL and basically does 3 years of early retirement with us (NCFC) - MIKEWALKER, Jan 22, 10:26:24

        I really need to up my daytime TV game (NCFC) - camcan, Jan 22, 11:06:37
        
        I'm self-employed now (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 22, 11:21:29
        
        I see (NCFC) - camcan, Jan 22, 11:30:30
        
        That would see my disappearance again for sure (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 22, 11:33:47
- Wages probably lower than if we’d have waited until summer and signednhim on a Bosman (n/m) (NCFC) - Waz, Jan 22, 10:21:34
  - Prob the same but the player might have wanted a higher signing-on fee (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Jan 22, 10:40:38
- quick! Someone tell Webber that he's missed a trick! (n/m) (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 22, 10:20:54
- Did you get a new calculator for Christmas, Lazza? (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Jan 22, 10:20:35
- you don't know the economics of the deal (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 22, 10:16:11
  - Well........................... (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Jan 22, 10:34:19
    - Half the 12k per week and that's probably closer to the actual figure. (n/m) (NCFC) - Waz, Jan 22, 10:37:00
      - And part of the transfer fee might be a contribution towards wages (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jan 22, 10:38:08
I think the McClean deal is good business (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 22, 08:11:27
- At the price, it certainly is and Aberdeen fans are NOT glad to see the back of him...... (NCFC) - Kirrie, Jan 22, 09:26:48
  - I'm with Kirrie (NCFC) - caley canary, Jan 22, 09:40:07
- Aberdeen fans don’t seem to rate him which suggests it’s maybe not good business (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 22, 08:42:44
  - It would be a shame we got a player who was keeping Maddison out of team (NCFC) - jAC, Jan 22, 09:56:57
    - In reality...i do hope that isn't what happens! (n/m) (NCFC) - jAC, Jan 22, 10:00:16
  - He’s a replacement for reed/Tettey I think not a no 10 like Maddison (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jan 22, 09:40:05
  - I think the odds are that he probably won't be a great player for us, but (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 22, 09:27:05
  - Christ - give him a chance. (n/m) (NCFC) - Brom, Jan 22, 09:07:47
    - No, no absolutely no chance. He's clearly (NCFC) - Chopper, Jan 22, 10:20:58
  - Very few average players from the SPL do well down here. (NCFC) - lurd, Jan 22, 09:01:01
    - Wesso's done alright... (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jan 22, 10:08:29
      - He only had one season up there. Not long enough for the pollution to set in. (NCFC) - lurd, Jan 22, 10:20:13
  - It’s worth remembering that Madders wasn’t an automatic starter with Aberdeen last year. (NCFC) - Adster, Jan 22, 09:01:00
    - Who knows indeed. (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 22, 09:04:14
  - You’re spiralling out of control Jim (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 22, 08:52:34
    - Does anyone know how to pilot this Jim character? He is outa control! (n/m) (NCFC) - maidstoneyellow, Jan 22, 09:57:25
    - How can you comment on whether it’s good business then? (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 22, 09:02:58
      - How can you comment on whether he's any good or Not? (NCFC) - Chopper, Jan 22, 10:30:47
      - He's saying that the approach to the signing is good... (NCFC) - Brom, Jan 22, 09:09:04
        
        It’s entirely linked to whether he turns out to be any good though (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 22, 09:15:46
        
        You can say that same about any signing Jim; its only £200K.... (NCFC) - Kirrie, Jan 22, 09:22:33
        
        It's not. He's clearly indicated they are discreet issues (n/m) (NCFC) - Brom, Jan 22, 09:17:41
        
        How about we agree on (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 22, 09:30:59
        
        So all of that frothing because you didn't agree on the meaning of the word "business"? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 22, 10:18:55
        
        I haven't been frothing (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 22, 11:00:34
        
        I haven't changed my mind on the meaning of the word business (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 22, 11:09:11
        
        we're not going to do anything this season though - whatever we do in January (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 22, 09:37:44
        
        Why not? It’s still doable and it certainly would have been even more (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 22, 09:48:27
        
        I fully agree that we have wasted this season, and that the change of philosophy (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 22, 10:01:41
        
        ROFL (n/m) (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Jan 22, 09:54:03
        
        “Unnecessarily” (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 22, 09:17:05
        
        Exactly. Good someone is able to read and understand :-) (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 22, 09:15:12
        
        it really is a case of 'Even Brom Knows' (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jan 22, 09:54:23
  - Shit player: tick, no ambition: tick, selling maddison: tick (NCFC) - earlydoors, Jan 22, 08:46:38
    - No that's not how it works. He is shit. FACT. (NCFC) - Dunney, Jan 22, 09:08:29
      - I wouldn't listen to Jim he's never seen the lad play, he knows jack shit (NCFC) - Tombs, Jan 22, 09:25:00
    - I haven’t called him a sh*t player (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 22, 09:05:20
      - not exactly a glowing endorsement of him though (NCFC) - earlydoors, Jan 22, 09:19:59
      - Yet. (n/m) (NCFC) - Dunney, Jan 22, 09:17:34
    - It's also worth remembering (NCFC) - CauldRon, Jan 22, 08:48:52
      - Particularly given Aberdeen fans were expecting him to go to rangers (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 22, 08:55:16
- seems a good deal, probably not breaking bank on wages either (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Jan 22, 08:34:57
- It’s only good business if he’s any good... (NCFC) - Darren Eadie, Jan 22, 08:22:39
  - I’m only (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 22, 08:53:03
    - Commenting on our approach rather than the player (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 22, 08:54:44
      - I actually think it’s slightly worrying that we’re paying a fee for him now... (NCFC) - Darren Eadie, Jan 22, 09:02:25
  - (Although the risk is considerably smaller with this kind of fee obviously) (n/m) (NCFC) - Darren Eadie, Jan 22, 08:33:14
  - Wise words mate! (n/m) (NCFC) - Chopper, Jan 22, 08:28:51
- Agree and I don't have a problem with us paying £200k (NCFC) - norway, Jan 22, 08:21:57
  - Agree and I can’t imagine he’ll be on anything near 12k (n/m) (NCFC) - Waz, Jan 22, 08:35:18
- Aberdeen Fan on F365 (NCFC) - lurd, Jan 22, 08:19:24
  - Doesn't sound bitter, does he? (n/m) (NCFC) - Dunney, Jan 22, 09:13:58
    - Some more.. (NCFC) - lurd, Jan 22, 09:17:42
  - Ooooh maybe the next connnor mcgrandles (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 22, 08:33:52
MccLean costing 200k... (NCFC) - loz, Jan 21, 20:21:02
- Hopefully a Howson type that can be in or around the (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Jan 21, 20:28:23
  - Think he’s a replacement for reed... (NCFC) - loz, Jan 21, 20:30:09
    - I don’t think he is naturally (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 22, 08:06:39
    - Yep really well. £200k worth (n/m) (NCFC) - Shut the gate, Jan 21, 20:31:57
- Absolutely no way we're paying £12k a week. (n/m) (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Jan 21, 20:22:07
  - Just an idea but we could kind of do with players that can play for us. (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Jan 21, 20:23:16
    - Probably won't play much at Norwich this season (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Jan 21, 20:54:41
      - I really want us to get a striker in but they don't come cheap. (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Jan 21, 20:58:00
        
        Probably why we'll get this Fletcher as a stop gap for the rest of the season (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Jan 21, 21:03:56
        
        Great “building for the future.” How about we just play Abraham’s (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 21, 22:27:23
        
        Because he’s not ready yet? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 21, 23:12:18
    - All with the future in mind (NCFC) - Shut the gate, Jan 21, 20:25:34
    - Ha ha you’d think dubs (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jan 21, 20:25:01
      - :) Well I'm all for the future but that doesn't mean you forget the present. (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Jan 21, 20:41:31
MccLean signing tomorrow .. (NCFC) - loz, Jan 21, 19:02:21
- Then going back out on loan (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jan 21, 19:08:02
  - Or are we signing him on a pre contract as he's free in the summer (n/m) (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Jan 21, 19:11:08
    - All rather unclear. (NCFC) - Under soil heating, Jan 21, 19:55:29
      - The £500k is just his pay rise from us (n/m) (NCFC) - Jumbo1, Jan 21, 20:19:02
    - Should fucking hope so! (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 19:11:57
      - Bit strange that one, although cheap. The buy and loan back thing is usually for younger (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 19:13:01
        
        Yes, although might suit us from a wage perspective (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 21, 19:16:17
- I'd rather have Nicola (n/m) (NCFC) - Huge Small, Jan 21, 19:05:14
  - I don’t rather have Don (n/m) (NCFC) - Jumbo1, Jan 21, 19:17:10
    - Oh Jumbo, the world was never meant for one as beautiful as you (n/m) (NCFC) - shortfatb, Jan 21, 20:25:34
Take out Tet's awful back pass and it could well have been a different result. (NCFC) - Dunney, Jan 21, 16:39:45
- Thought the scoreline flattered us. (NCFC) - earlydoors, Jan 21, 16:49:11
  - Mostly first half chances for SheffU. Not so much in the second (NCFC) - Dunney, Jan 21, 16:57:28
- Sheff united deserved the win - but yes, you’re right, that was dicisive (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 21, 16:47:10
- Yep, but people on here just tend to judge a game by the scoreline. (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Jan 21, 16:46:49
  - They should do the league tables from player ratings (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 21, 17:00:07
  - I keep reading how they did a job on us all over the pitch (NCFC) - Dunney, Jan 21, 16:51:35
    - Farke wants players to retain possession not give away a throw (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Jan 21, 17:31:50
    - Yes he did. Weirdly, Tettey looked the most knackered of all of them, and that looked like (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Jan 21, 17:22:20
- He wasn’t at the races yesterday was he? (n/m) (NCFC) - Augustus Pablo, Jan 21, 16:45:48
- Gunn was equally at fault for that (NCFC) - wolfio, Jan 21, 16:44:56
  - as much as you think i would blame Gunn for any fuck up (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Jan 21, 17:18:27
    - You didn’t go did you (n/m) (NCFC) - Gob on a Stick, Jan 21, 18:23:05
      - why would i not go to a home game (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Jan 21, 20:29:20
    - Farke wants players to retain possession not give away a throw (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Jan 21, 17:32:57
      - Oh i see its Farkes fault (n/m) (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Jan 21, 18:02:48
  - Agreed, combination error. Tetts shouldn't have played the back pass so short and (NCFC) - mike_the_sphinx, Jan 21, 16:50:40
  - Agreed (n/m) (NCFC) - earlydoors, Jan 21, 16:49:52
  - Yes, I was shocked he didn't come for it (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 21, 16:47:59
- It was an incredible fuck up at just the wrong time. (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, Jan 21, 16:41:42
  - not the first time from Tetty in a similar position (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Jan 21, 16:48:04
Not thrilled with another loan to be honest ... (NCFC) - loz, Jan 21, 15:13:50
- I guess we’re using what we saved on naismith’s wages (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 21, 16:40:30
- If he was any real good Middlesboro wouldn't be letting him go...or is that too simplistic (n/m) (NCFC) - Saucerer, Jan 21, 15:53:52
  - Agree with these points to an extent....but (NCFC) - Saucerer, Jan 21, 18:38:29
  - Short term addition until we get who we really want in the summer (n/m) (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Jan 21, 16:51:27
  - It is simplistic, yes. (NCFC) - norway, Jan 21, 16:06:45
    - They bought him off the back of fuck all.. (NCFC) - loz, Jan 21, 16:10:45
      - Boro spent £6m on him. Presumably there was a reason for that. (NCFC) - norway, Jan 21, 16:15:59
        
        Not if we are paying a lot of his wages it isn’t ... (NCFC) - loz, Jan 21, 16:18:14
        
        Oh so you know that? (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, Jan 21, 16:19:02
        
        No I don’t know that but I don’t want us wasting wedge... (NCFC) - loz, Jan 21, 16:24:13
        
        So you're suggesting that we'll randomly spunk a wage structure-busting wedge on this lad? (NCFC) - norway, Jan 21, 16:31:41
      - 5 goals in about 50 appearances (although many of those must have been sub appearances) (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 16:13:48
    - And also give him a chance to show what he can do (or can't do as the case may be). (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 16:09:06
  - we let Maddison go to Aberdeen remember (n/m) (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 21, 16:00:00
    - So again we benefit Middlesbrough not our own club (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 21, 17:25:15
      - You dont think Aberdeen got anything out of it? (n/m) (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 21, 18:17:31
    - and Godfrey to Shrewsbury. Maddison himself says the Aberdeen spell was huge for his (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 16:04:22
  - It could be that we rate him more highly than they do (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 15:55:06
- If he starts banging them in I couldn’t give a shit ! (n/m) (NCFC) - colincanary, Jan 21, 15:50:45
- He is probably on a decent wedge... (NCFC) - colincanary, Jan 21, 15:46:26
- Try before you buy (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Jan 21, 15:43:47
  - That's also a bit flawed I think, unless we already secure a price for him ahead of the (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 15:47:05
- Strangely I was thinking about this when I posted about new signings just before (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 15:43:44
- If we are supposedly “building for next season” then loans are idiotic (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 21, 15:30:06
  - Because we’ve shifted Naismith for 6 months (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 21, 16:41:35
  - what does it achieve? (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 21, 15:42:53
    - why not give one our youngsters a go instead? (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 21, 15:48:26
      - or get a nonleague ace like jamie vardy for peanuts? (NCFC) - Tombs, Jan 21, 15:56:51
        
        disagree with that, finding another Vardy would be almost impossible (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 21, 16:06:37
        
        He was taking the piss (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 16:14:44
        
        thanks for pointing that out (n/m) (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 21, 16:15:54
        
        Can we recall Cody? (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 15:57:37
      - I don't run the training sessions so I cant tell you (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 21, 15:53:32
        
        I think that's unfair - Norwich fans have usually been very supportive of young players (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 21, 16:04:52
      - Because it might do them more harm than good. (NCFC) - norway, Jan 21, 15:53:01

Everton fans are urging Big Sam on Twitter to sign Jamal Lewis (NCFC) - Highlander, Jan 18, 15:23:48
- He signed a new contract the other day didn’t he? (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jan 18, 17:22:42
  - We’ve got him on a long termer. Plus option for another year. (NCFC) - Under soil heating, Jan 18, 19:11:45
- The club signed up Zimmerman on a longer contract very quickly. (NCFC) - usacanary, Jan 18, 17:04:36
  - smart move, huh? I seem to remember that wasn't the general reaction on here. It was from (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Jan 18, 17:20:18
    - Oh mine..... (NCFC) - usacanary, Jan 18, 17:27:25
- I am quite excited about the prospects of Cantwell, who looked different to what we have (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 18, 15:29:00
  - Trouble is though (NCFC) - Surrey Yella, Jan 18, 15:49:27

        Hanley is only 26. Klose is the senior defender at 29. But yeah, Wes, (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 18, 16:50:43
        
        Klose, maybe Tettey although I doubt it. (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 18, 16:51:02
        
        Would be good to keep Klose. Could be possible if we can permanently offload Naismith (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 18, 16:55:55
        
        I think the recent team sheets indicate the players Farke would like to keep (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 18, 17:01:41
