If my memory serves me right we could have bought Wilfried Zaha for a fraction of the price being asked now by Palace ,speculate to accumulate Everyone is happy not paying more money than we should......until we don't sign anyone.

Are we still playing these games the French media are setting up? Don't rise to it ffs! On the other hand if this actually does turn out to be true.. http://sunburstkissesrowena.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/excited-baby.jpg

It is crazy how badly we switch off and revert to sucking up pressure. Maybe fair play if we were 3-0 up and had anyone with pace to make a break. Does Ameobi get worse? Good half and surprisingly we look better when we pass the ball and move into space rather than Krul or Willow hoofing it everytime and losing possession.

Shola in briefly looking like a footballer shocker... shame it was the only thing he has done. Worst player on the pitch by some distance at the moment.

Gorgeous Marv!

Its Marc Crossley all over again..

feck me, three reading players un-marked there. SHOCKING.

...and exactly why this will be completely dismissed over the next couple of days. Give it a weekend of silence and building rumors before it is all put out to pasture on Monday or Tuesday morning.

To be fair I think the French press have an agenda here. Build our hopes up, backtrack, do it again get us more excited then smash said hopes into small tear shaped pieces. Payback for fleecing French clubs in the past! Do not believe for a second..would be the best possible signing though...nah.

Feck me is there any transfer dealing we are involved in which isn't a farce. Total fucking joke this window.

Have we actually been linked to bony or has this just spilled over from the transfer suggestions thread?

Makes sense we can thankfully put cisse back on the wing where he belongs then.

Can we not change the thread title to add the answer = never. If there is three things we desperately need it is a striker, central defender and box to box midfielder. If the price is true we should be throwing everything into making this happen. No one of his quality anywhere near 3.5m

Someone we have been linked with a fair bit over the past few years. Would definately take him here. Type of player we are looking for, quick, versatile and can play on either side and through the middle. Don't think it would require silly money to get him either. He and De Jong would add so much to our attack that is missing. I think we could survive til the summer with Cisse and Shola being our target men. Having some power, pace and trickery is more important.

Likewise santon.

Graham is currently better than anything we have past Cisse.... but so is David N'Gog. Certainly be less unhappy with Graham but why would he come here to sit on the bench when that is why he wants to leave Swansea.

The total breakdown on here if we sign N'Gog.. would be amusing until it actually sunk in that we signed David N'Gog.

Would be proper gutted to see him leave. Butland or not, would be as huge as losing colo and a have a similar effect.

This gets me every time. We might as well be saying, "If I had a million bucks, a Lamborghini, and consistent head from Miranda Kerr, I'd be happy." Go easy, it was hard to believe the word optimism existed after the past 48 hours.

Looks like a sensible move if we can get him. I don't rate anyone else at this club at LB other than Santon.

On the upside it would pretty much rule out an Andy Carroll return in the summer.

Ok, am I giggsing myself here? Did Haidara not already rule us out in favor of a move to Italy? Why are we still talking about this if so?

Looking like Gomis is a strong possibility. Lyon seem desperate to free up some money with a significant transfer. We shall see. Be delighted with Gomis tbh, but still need someone capable of playing out wide, he doesnt. On the flipside some more crap from the tabloids seeing us linked to a LB and GK and jumping to conclusions.. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2263053/AC-Milan-launch-10m-bid-sign-Newcastle-goalkeeper-Tim-Krul.html http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/ac-milan-interested-in-newcastle-keeper-1536159 Bit soon for the relegation firesale..

We are hoping no Italian clubs are interested and make a bid. Then maybe we can convince him to come here instead of Italy where his heart is set on moving.

True, depends how he feels about them dumping him in the first place. We sorely, sorely need someone of the complimentary quality of HBA for that left hand side though.
