RyanBabel I'm going no where.

Taken from his twitter.

Its a shame the silence has been so deafening from St James Park today. A couple of new faces would've gave me more optimism than having to go til January with a paper-thin squad. If Carroll gets injured I can't see anywhere in the squad goals are going to come from on a regular basis.

Franco Di Santo any good?

No

Just signed a three year deal with Wigan Athletic according to the radio.

On his way to Turkey for talks with Fenerbahce. Disappointed to be honest, we've got Jags and Distin playing there at the minute, Heitinga as back up after that it'd be Rodwell, even Neville if needed.

Good strikers have a knack of scoring no matter what they do. They miss-hit a shot and it ends up wrong-footing the keeper and going in. They do an air kick with the right leg and the ball hits their left leg and goes in. They sky a cross in the Charity Shield match and it smacks them in the face and goes in.

Di Santo is the absolute opposite of that. He can do everything absolutely perfect and he still won't score.

Put it this way, he could go into a brothel with money overflowing from every pocket, he could be carrying gifts of expensive jewellery and flowers, he'll be clean, well dressed and treat the women with respect and kindness. He still wouldn't score.

I think Blackburn fans appreciated his hard work and good play outside the box, but I figure they have gotten sick of him being an anti-goal machine.

He started of well scoring early in the season but never kicked on after that.It didn't help that we only played 1 up front for most of last season ,if we played 2 up he might have got more games.

Can't believe what Roy has done.

Let go an Argentina international full-back who, imo, has shown decent ability already and has massive potential.
In his place he's signed an average 29-year-old for a substantial fee, and handed him a four-year deal. Oh, and he's also let a promising young player in Laurie Dalla Valle go to rub it in, as well as another.

Madness.

I wasn't best pleased when he let Dalla Velle go. Did Ayala move to Hull?
