very important goal... you can see Newcastle lack of confidence.. Go go go!

ITK? ITK means? No Brain Cells. seriously though... stfu... Newcastle, Derby, Fulham

ITK? ITK means?

No 3-points = relegation

Sorry... just got back here.. didn't realise it was old news :-[

uhm guys... what the f**k is this: http://thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/article724711.ece

oh... that's Carr and Ameobi...

Obviously, we are not going to bring in any more players this window. There a lot of rumours - infact we have been linked with almost every footballer out there. We should really try to get in one creative midfielder, other than that I'm kinda glad we haven't spread the cash. Silly Season = Silly Prices.

You never know with Kev - he can persuade anyone

as a defensive midfielder mascherano is miles better than carrick. Mascherano is a fantastic tackler and rarely misplaces a pass. the attacking midfielder should provide the creativity not the defensive player. Mascheranos passing is underrated, whereas carrick doesn't seem to want to dirty his shorts. how much would both of them cost approx.?

What do you think about Riquelme? Sure, he'll take some time to adapt (if he ever does) but his technique is superb, that's atleast how I remember him from the Argentina matches. I'm not updated on his current situation... but he's been injured quite a lot ...or ?

Fair point! Obviously, there are many players to pick from, but I guess there's only a few that would settle in as quickly as Carrick (with that calibre). And keegan wants that type of player. However, I must admit spending that much money on him would be crazy. It's a lot of cash! Plus, whenever Ferguson decides to sell it's not because he's forced to, it's because he knows the player is 'past his peak'. S.A. Ferguson is damn good at that, and he's rarely wrong

That's just pathetic. Nothing but pathetic! There's absolutely nothing to gain by mocking me or my post. My list is long, but atleast I'm thinking 'outside the box' which is just what we need (and obviously allowed to in this thread). I can only follow up what's posted above - what makes you believe that you are any better than me at picking players? (elbee909?) If we have a s**t load of cash to spend, then I'm sure you can compile a pretty decent XI out of my list...? And about the Carrick talking - seriously for £18 mill ?? mackems.gif You got to be f***ing kidding me. As some other people have said as well, we can get much better for that amount of money. And S.A. Ferguson is not known for selling his players before they are over their peak. Newcastle on the other hand, has sold Andy Cole to Man Utd, let Saha go (he wasn't good enough???). We have also brought in Smith and Butt for Man Utd - have they ever played as well here as at Man Utd? W/e agrument.... £18 mill is pure robbery, he's overpriced, and if Ferguson want to sell.. it's his problem. Sure we need a player of atleast his calibre, but not Carrick for that much...

Problem is though, during the Bolton game, I saw the "Allardyce ghost" hanging over the team, so I would have to agree that it would take us some time to adapt a more attacking style. Also, we need different players than what we have. One could clearly see that. So, I guess a lot of the players we have (brought in) will be shown the door during the summer.

How many of these you actually seen play? Hi Obviously not all of them, but I've seen quite a few. Some of the players I've just heard about through friends, and if I am to believe what they say, these players are good, and will improve us. |maze| Are your friends all characters on football manager? football manager?I don't play that game needless to say, the list is extensive, and there wouldn't be anything to lose by scouting these players. That's just my opinion. If you browse the internet; you will find that a lot of these players are attracted by big clubs:)

Hi guys! Couldn't sleep last night, and just started to think of a list of potensial players we can buy now/or in the summer. Feel free to comment, and give me your opinions. Also please state how much you think we'd have to pay: Goalkeepers: Jussi Jaaskelainen Vincent Enyeama Oscar Ustari Ochoa Benoit Costil Igor Akinfeev Tim Wiese Defenders Armand Traore Giorgio Chiellini Per Mertesacker Naldo Pablo (At. Madrid) Miguel Veloso Cristian Zaccardo Fabricio Coloccini Vincent Kompany Nicky shorey Urby Emanuelson Jacques Faty Jeremy Mathieu Lucio (Bayern) Gonzalo Pineda Petri Pesanen (how good are these last two IRL?) Eduardo Ratinho Oleg Husyev Darijo Srna Christian Pander Defensive Midfielders Javier Mascherano Jean II Makoun Fernanodo (Bordeaux) Ayila Yussuf Freddy Guarin Midfielder Jeremy Toulalan Tim Borowski Lucho Gonzalez Christian Ledesma Stephan Appiah Lucas Biglia Luka Modric Rafael van der Vaart Diego (Werder Bremen) Samir Nasri Juan R . Riquelme Riccardo Montolivo Ricardo Quaresma Rafael Sobis Jeremy Menez Cani Kim Kallström Fernando Belluschi Jonathan de Guzman Jefferson Farfan Arouca Thiago Nevez Yoann Gouffran Luis Jimenez Lulinha Per Ciljan Skjelbred Strikers Defoe Berbatov Adrian Mutu Jimmy Briand Karim Benzema G. Pazzini Dean Ashton Huntelaar Palacio Edison Cavani Caesar Delgado A. Kerzahkov Okey, that's it. A Nice and long list that I've written of 3 A4 pages *puh*... Maybe Alfonso Alves should be on that list too. Didn't include the likes of Carrick and Deco because they are already mentioned. |maze|

will he make an instant impact though? In KK terms that is..

Naldo and van Der Vaart - maybe (atleast those I agree with) Think Huntelaar and SWP is a bit unrealistic... + we don't need Hutton as we have Beye. Def. need a new left back, probably as backup for Enrique. But Enrique is still young and I'm unsure of playing him regular atm. will be the wises thing to do (hey, I might be wrong) other than that, I agree we need new wingers, and a couple strikers. But.. if you were to name ... say 5 players to off-load, who would it be? Just like to hear your opinions... Mine would be (not considering the kk effect or anything like that): Carr Ameobi Geremi Emre (Shoot me, but he's fairly inconsistent, and if we can get better we can afford letting him go abroad) Barton

Seriously, Keegan should bring in the likes of Lee to coach the team. Watson and Peter Beardsley too. Important to have true geordies as backroom staff as well!! Shearer as ass. man !! =)

Started to support Newcastle when Alan Shearer signed.

Hangeland (Copenhagen) to Fulham. 40 mill NOK. Reported before?

It's OK, he's back home were he belongs now
