well i have only heard of Bale, never seen him play. but the basic truth is that Roeder will only sign or try to sign Baines. i am pretty sure that Roeder has never heard of Taye taiwo or most of the names that have been mentioned in this thread

Sigurd rushfeldt the guy i was on about before (soz my quotations won't work)

agree that southampton won't let him go for 3-4 million, he is a product of their youth system and they are highly protective of their home grown players and won't let them go cheaply, e.g Walcott cost a friggen bomb. bluebiggrin.gif

well he's not prolific but neither is kevin davies, but he wil grab a few and set more up with his headers.

i haven't heard that much of Bale, sounds more than capable. i don't think we should buy doyle because he has done well this season but he might be a 'one season wonder'. we need a striker but not as much as we need a left back and right back. on the striking front i would suggest a 1 year contract with a real target man, a natural target man (which sibbers isn't but he has done a good job so far) maybe Sigurd rushfeldt 35 years old, prolific even now and 190cm Tall!!! always wins headers in and out of the box we could get him for 500,000k. would be the perfect partner for Oba until we get taken over and buy a real high quality target man.

tbh we don'y need a CB Taylor for me is first choice, then its Moore, Ramage, Bramble and Huntington as 2nd choice or backup so in that department newcastle are fine P.S i would go for Woody when he comes available, he must have realised by now that Middlesboro are shit and not right for him

sevilla won't let alves go unless its 20 million or above, the chairman has already come out and said that its going to take 20 million plus to get Alves. he is a rich chairman but he is very greedy and a little tight with his wallet.

nope, its been more about stelios than anything. i am not sure what i think about Barton he is good but there is something about him.

yer i know

i really wish we could have been taken over by now, then wecould get the whole list if we wanted. stupid Fred just let us be taken over already :wullie: Greedy $h1t

i heard his rave reviews against man united, apparently a solid performance, may look slight but he is supposed to be strong(ish) and has a good tackle. he sounds a bit like Nobby currently at RB, he does'nt look very strong but he holds off a few of his opponents so you never know

Full name Nélson Augusto Tomar Marcos Date of birth 10 June 1983 Place of birth Ilha do Sal, Cape Verde Height 170 cm (5'7") Nickname Nelson Position Right-Back, Winger Club information Current club SL Benfica Number 22 Professional clubs* Years Club Apps (goals) 2002–2003 2003–2004 2004-2005 2005– Vilanovense FC Salgueiros Boavista FC SL Benfica 32 (1) 21 (0) 32 (0) 34 (1) National team** 2006– Portugal U-21 23 (2) known for his attacking exploits apparently

yer volz is good but prone to do a bit of "Bramble" concentration wise but physically he is just what we are looking for

Nelson is an excellent right back for Benfica and he IS realistic

I don't think Schulz would go to Bayern tbh he isn't up to their standard

Schulz is not the best left back in Europe by a long shot and Taiwo is a gettable target and tbh so is Baines

To be honest i think Newcastle look in the wrong places for players, Portugal, Germany and France have bundles of good, young, mainly cheap defensive players who would be just as effective as most defenders in the premiership i think newcastle needs to be more like Arsenal and less like Chelsea. In 5 years time the Chelsea team will be quite old or will have at least lost their legs but in five years time Arsenals young defence will have flourished into world class players. we try to buy the currently best but not the future stars and its a problem.

well he would be cheaper option but i would rather have Taiwo or Baines, but he still is better than Babayaro.

Never seen Schulz play just in world soccer talent scout really says alot of good stuff about him, really promising toung left back, quick, strong good in the tackle...

On wikipedia it says that Inter have displayed much interest in him

Christian Schulz from Werder Bremen is a highly rated left back From Wikipedia: Christian Schulz (born 1 April 1983) is a Germany footballer. He plays at left back for Werder Bremen in the German Bundesliga. He Joined Werder Bremen in 1995 at the age of twelve and made his senior debut in 2001/2002. When Turkish player Ümit Davala was injured, Schulz stepped in and made the left back position his own. He has three caps for the Germany national football team. No information on height, weight, clubs etc.

Just watched a video on youtube, he takes the pens as well as free kicks for Marseille looks like a good buy if we could get him but he is probably off to Inter.

From wikipedia: Taye Ismaila Taiwo (born April 16, 1985 in Lagos) is a Nigerian football (soccer) defender who currently plays for Olympique de Marseille (French league). Left-back Taiwo was part of the Nigerian team during the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship. He scored two decisive goals during the competition which enabled Nigeria to reach the final (lost 2-1 against Argentina). He was designated as the third best player of the tournament behind John Obi Mikel (Nigeria) and Lionel Messi (Argentina). After a successful outing in the African Nations Cup in Egypt in Taiwo's future has become extremely bright as he has atrracted interest from Italian giants, Internazionale. Hes a very good player extremely highly rated, good all round left back who can attack and defend, he's also got one hell of a free kick on him.

True

i think thats the price that arsene wenger wanted him to go to man united for, but i take your points how much did chelsea but him for?
