De Jong seems realistic because although he is captain, as someone mentioned, he doesn't seem to be as highly thought of as the likes of Christian Erikksen, Alderwider, and some of the other recent Ajax prospects.
The one thing I like about him, which is probably why he 's their captain, is the gusto he plays with. Bit like Dirk Kuyt in that sense. We could certainly do with some character in the team.
Also doesn't seem an unrealistic target at £9 million. According to transfermrkt's value, whcih is usually quite accurate. They have his value at £7 million.

Here we go, everyone arguing over where De Jong would fit in our team and we havent even made a bid for him, never mind the fact that Ajax would probably refuse to sell him in the January window anyway, particularly for the sort of money we would bid. Its not going to happen period!
Agree absolutely - we have just lost out to a smaller club in the transfer market yet people are being taken in by a club story of going for one of Ajax's best players - whose brother, incidentally, turned us down last summer.
I've heard of grabbing at straws but this is ridiculous - surely after the last 6 months, people should only get excited about possible transfers when the player signs and appears at a press conference ...
This is NUFC, run by the Chuckle Bros, we are talking about..!
Awww naaaw not the excitement police ...

Tiote Cabaye
Ben Arfa De Jong Marveaux
Cisse
Maybe?
That's what I was thinking.

Forgive us for having the temerity to even think such a thing was possible master.
Please now advise us on what exactly you would prefer for us to use this forum for. Thanks.
I'm not surprised some people question about talking about signings fitting in. Unfortunately it always seem we get our hopes up and then are totally destroyed, never getting my hopes up over a potential signing again
That's now way to live man!
Besides discussing how someone fits in isn't necessarily getting ones hopes up.
-
Not sure how Siem De Jong would fit into our team. We have one quality winger and only one quality striker. Signing him means we can't play either 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 effectively.
He's a centre forward that drops off the main striker isn't he?
Yes
Play him with Cisse then?
I think Remy was going to be played upfront anyway.
By most accounts Pardew seems to want to go with two forwards.

My only worry is how quickly we can get our next target in.
We can't worry too much about Remy. It was always going to be a tough one. He's a pretty highly though of player, and so it was always going to be a battle with someone to land him. It's not like Ben Arfa where no one wanted him because of perceived baggage, and it's not like Cabaye who many weren't as aware of. Redknapp has also been chasing Remy since he was at Tottenham, so no surprise he pulled out all the stops.
I think with our current setup, we'll always do better landing the talented players that are not quite as high profile yet, unless it's a Ben Arfa type, who has been in trouble. Marseille is a pretty big club in France, and it's always going to be a tougher sell to players coming from these type of clubs, they'll already feel like stars, and will want the big money, glamour etc.
Think we'll likely always be better off sealing deals for the likes of Maiga (though we opted out in the end!) who was coming from Socheaux, or even Cisse who was coming from a less renowned club in Germany.
Hopefully we can have success with Aubameyang for this sort of reason. Going after Gomis from Lyon, would be another move that would worry me, as his profile is quite a bit higher at the moment, and there will be other eyes fixed on him.
Man ... hope some positive news on other players comes soon. Feel deflated.

12th May , QPR away. Please football gods, let us relegate them that day. Remy doing his knee in the game so he can't move that summer too would be also pretty damn sweet.
When in reality an error by Williamson lets Remy clean through to put us down. Howay, lets keep positive.
Newcastle win.
Gomis hat-trick.
Remy doesn't feature, due to recurring thigh injuries.
-
Unbelievable what's happened today. At least this hasn't taken place on the final days of the window, so there's still some hope.
What else do we have? Really tough to take though. Horrible set of circumstances.
Really hope the club push through on other options quickly if we lose out on Remy.
Sunday was so much fun too. Felt terrible for people on here when the QPR news broke
-
-
The only way this could even be remotely possible, is if QPR have thrown an insane amount of money at him at the last minute.
They're probably dumb enough to have done so.
However, to come into a team that already features Ben Arfa, Marveaux, Cabaye and Debuchy should have him more excited than anything QPR could possibly do.
-
Anita, Cabaye, Tiote and Sissoko as options for centre midfield. Purple rain.
-
What a people's opinions on Jores Okoro? Seen him linked a few times.
Good player - would take him in a heartbeat.
We really need someone who has pace and athleticism at centre back.
What's he like as far as those attributes are concerned?
-
Sergio Busquets the scourge of humanity. Pathetic entity.

I'll take this result for sure.

"I will wait until the end of the season and decide what to do," said Sissoko."I might stay here, who knows. In football, strange things happen.
"Newcastle are a good team with some French players, so they are attractive to me, but at the end of the season we will see what happens."
Wants that tasty signing on fee he'll be getting as a free agent.
Sounds like he'll be getting it at Newcastle too.

Ryder seems certain
Fabricio Coloccini wants to quit NUFC immediately

Jesus ...
OKay, well if this is happening that club of his in Argentina need to pay up.
Absolute pisstake if between the both of them, they think he can just go back for next to nothing. Stop pining for Colo if you don't have the funds to buy him.
Outrageous stuff.

STRANGE: Liverpool have 'reportedly' offered Turkish club Fenerbahce £9m for Senegalese striker Moussa Sow, 26. [Fanatik] #africa

This news broke yesterday.
How on Earth would he fit in with Sturridge, Suarez and Borini.
Another point, if we're after a striker, and Sow is available for the price, we really should be in there.

We just need to sign a couple more players from Argentina, so his wife and kids have people to play with. So obvious and straightforward, but we can't do the simplest things. This club man, honestly.
Do yourself, and everyone else, a favour and stop typing.
Sorry, just trying to add to the ridiculous nature of this thread. I'm quite bored.

Just hope this isn't Pardew being a lothario again.

Sooo. Colo's wife and kids have f***ed off home to Argentina and are not coming back, yet they were out eating in Newcastle last night?
Seems legit.
The last supper. Definitely leaving.
