    Totally, I was thinking this the other day, very action packed, on and off the field.

    Oh no, Gillespie is just one of those players who I really really dont like, cheating barsteward.

    And that last minute goal a couple of years back.

    Now that is a man who likes to have a punt, i bet he is lloking on Skybet to see who the new manager is and sticking a few quid on it

    How is he only 33 - seems like he's been around forever!

    Always seem to do ok against us. Likely to start? Not sure.

    Which worries me a little - we should be getting in players that are going to come in and make a significant difference to the first team and how we play.

    5/4 we get Matthew Etherington on the other side. . .

    We must be going for a record number of loans in one year

    An experienced winger who can cross a ball, think our strikers will all be well chuffed !

    I don't think this would be too bad, he's been about a while so clearly has experience.I think some old heads to come in and set an example and steady the ship are what's required. I don't think Sam offers enough to be honest so it's a step up.

    Good signing at this level, if only to freshen things up.

    ps....probably hard to tell on Saturday, but how did Waghorn do when he came on?

    Haven't seen offical confirmation of Gillespie or Helguson yet, the reports I've seen still seem to be of the "set to sign" variety.

    But assuming we get them, could be just what's needed. I think we require men not boys right now (sorry Martyn Waghorn) and both have had ups-and-downs in their career which has, I am sure, served to make them stronger. Neither seems the type to shirk a scrap , and that's what we're now in.

    All these six loanees could feature tomorrow:

    Primus
    Bouazza
    Cranie
    Waghorn
    Helguson
    Gillespie

    Which says rather a lot about the fully-contracted team that Pardew built . But hey, that's water under the bridge now. I think we're going to fight like dogs of war tomorrow night and QPR won't know what has hit them...

    Why are we signing players without a manager. The joke continues

    Not a fan but a good move I think...Still got some pace & plenty of experience. Will help a lot in the situation we're in.

    Plus, he's ten times the player Lloyd Sam will ever be!!!

    Good signing IMHO.

    Many have been saying that our strikers are ok but haven't been getting the service. KG is a good crosser of the ball so should open one side of the pitch up.

    Hopefully it's put a smile on Andy Gray's face. I'm convinced if he'd gone to Wolves instead of Iwellumo then he'd have as many if not more goals.

    Here's hoping to see the sort of driving cross and Gray header - like the one that crashed off the crossbar against Reading.
    OK it didn't go in but how many time shave we seen a similar chance this season??

    Nice one - an experienced pro who can deliver a quality cross for any one of our forwards....oh, hang on....

    I'm not alone then!

    I don't trust him at the moment. His handling is woeful and he runs like he is on roller skates and could fall at any moment

    to be honest i was very immpressed wiv waggy i watched him carefully when he came, lets face it the game was not exactly great, but he was asking for the ball making very itelligent runs, i would consider him a spot tommorow night if not certainly on saturday againsts saints if the varn is on the bench
