Spotter’s badge, there. KB always knew Newcastle were taking the mick hoping we were still desperate, stupid and skint. Looks like we may not be any of the above any more.

It is interesting to note how few criticisms of Andrew Hughes we read on here these days. Whilst I would love to see Aidy White make that position his own due to his attacking flair it can’t be argued that Hughes has become a hugely reliable left back – far better than Crowe on the other side.

No way. He’s waiting to pocket a higher signing on fee.

I reckon it is more likely to go the other way and some Premiership team coming in for him in the next six days. They’ve seen what he can do against Premiership defenses. Fat Ashley must be kicking himself that he didn’t cough up that extra £500k when it was all on favourites that he’d be heading north.

Besides, that’s three goals in two games against top Premiership sides, where his performances have been a cut above his usual League One ones in regards of effort, hunger, tracking back, and even tackling, so I reckon he relishes pitting his wits against the top-sides and less so those in lower leagues (and who can blame him). So he’s had a taste, he’s excelled, his ego’s been massaged in all the headlines – and next up for him … away to Swindon.

Mmm, could be a hell of a Six-Day War for us to keep him beyond January.

But Everton are a Europa league team so that’s the upper part of the Prem. Emotions to one side what would you do if it was your job ? Stay and work at a lower level with less pay or double your pay and take your chance at the top table ?

He may end up a bench warmer, who knows ? Beckford won’t be thinking that though, he will be thinking he can go there and do a job.

On recent evidence who are we to dispute that.

I think Ken was away on his jollies Matt, up to the 20th. For some reason, and I can’t explain why, I have a sneaking suspicion JB might be here a little longer than we all anticipate. I might be wrong but I could see him signing another contract, not for 4/5 years but a couple. He might come round to the idea that the ‘grass is not always greener’. And by signing for a couple of years he can see how we perform in the CCC, if we get there, instead of warming the bench at some mid/lower prem side. Let’s face it a mid/lower prem team would still be a step down in club. I’m not talking in terms of league here, I’m talkin size/stature of club. Could be way off the mark but live in hope…..

Definitely better to have that money right now, 2.5m or 3 will go a long long way to getting ourselves back where we need to be, i see we’ve finally agreed a fee for gradel, has ken finally remembered where he left his cheque book..
