Well yes. We're basically in a position where we won't be able to take him at all due to the setback of relegation damaging our squad so badly and immediate fixes being the main priority. I do think we can strike a balance. Colo, Jonas, Cabaye, Ben Arfa and hopefully Gervinho are all established players which aren't likely to improve in the future. Therefore we do have spaces for some youngsters to develop, e.g. Wickham, Vukcic or Abeid. On the other hand, I don't think we can get Wickham 2 years later because he would join those mega clubs should he develop as expected. Just like Bale, he wouldn't be playing for Spurs now if they didn't get him when he is 17.

If Wickham will develop as expected, 2 years later he would worth over 18m.

We should get him. Something like a 8m + 7m upon full international debut would make it, just like how Arsenal get Walcott.

I start to have a feeling that all those are noises in order to force PSG to put in a mega bid.

I do hope he keep using No.23. That's his number.

Coentrao is a left winger. He can plays as aleft back but he is a left winger. Similar cases as Zhirkov.

No chance, just like Liverpool signing Aguero.

Patience is a Virtue Lad! Plus this is Newcastle, When have they EVER done anythin quickly (apart fropm sacking people) This whole summer has been about doing things quickly to be fair. /Which is good because I doubt we'll hit the bullseye on the majority of our targets. //Still, better to be looking up at the stars. there is a rumour doing the rounds that we have agreed fees and such with 2 players but not anyone mentioned so far. bearing in mind the tiote deal where we had agreed stuff with another incase tiote didn't come here (urugauayan or chilean i think)........maybe they do have a plan ? Oh never heard of that. What South American had we considered at that time? Interesting stuff.

So the best method is to believe what you like and ignore those you don't like. Happy life

Going to Arsenal according to Wiki.

I think it says that they are replacing Gervinho with Piatti? Not that they are options for us. Yup, but why not? Unless Lille would not approve the deal before they sign Piatti.

I would be more than happy to sign both Gervinho and Piatti. Why not get both? The latter won't be expensive anyway, surely a bargain!

I feel like Liverpool has 100m to spend?

The release clause could be quite complicated. If it is just something like minimum fee clause, lots of clubs should know that already.

Malaga?

Maxi. :facepalm:

Kuyt

Barton, Gerrard, Meireles, Carroll, Suarez... I can't imagine how to play them together. Seems a weird combination to me. No winger?

Now that's funny. I wonder what the fee is. 1m?

I feel like having a new owner.

The Decision.

Who the f*** wasnt happy when we signed Owen?! Me. I said that's an insane signing. Very few cares.

Is Berbatov the first Top Scorer in EPL that is forced out of the team immediately after getting the award?

No for me, unless he's willing to cut his wages. I hope the whole story is just a smokescreen for us to get someone else.

Strange that. I concur , Ben Arfa was going to be selected for France's Euro 2012 qualifiers back in September/October until that c*** De Jong snapped his leg. He did get dropped BEFORE that incident. I forgot the reason though.
