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

uhm guys... what the f**k is this:

"A message to all Aston Villa fans, my best mate is a friend of Martin O'Neils assistant manager John Robertson, and from what John said to my mate, SIX or possibly SEVEN WORLD CLASS players are arriving at Villa Park in these last remaining days of the transfer window. Unfortunatly my mate said that John would not tell him who the players that Martin is looking at are, John would only reveal the number of players that would be arriving.

So my mate and myself do not know who these players are.

However John DID say to my mate that two of the players Martin is looking at come from NEWCASTLE."

 

 

who the f*** can that be! world class???

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

Kevin "Hercules" Kyle!

Newcastle have their sights on some real big name players but I understand some major (and I mean major) world stars have already been approached. For their clubs the price was right but none of the targets are interested in a move to Newcastle. The big players want to play in the big teams, in the Champions League and clubs with a big history and quite Frankly Newcastle just is not that club (sorry Newcastle United). Expect to see some second rung players (but still quality) at SJP next season though. I would not be suprised to see Robben and Ruud Van Nistelrooy there next season. An outside bet, but if you have a couple of quid to spare put it on Rio Ferdinand to be wearing the black and white stripes next year.

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.

 

"We're going to get caught in a three-on-one," I would protest. Keegan would reply: "Nah, if we concede, we'ill just score another."

 

 

Never in a million years will huge clubs sit buy and watch a player like Mascherano come to Newcastle, thats if he even would think twice about it.

You never know with Kev - he can persuade anyone     

Who could you get for £18m who would be as willing to come? What does Mashcereno offer that Carrick doesnt? MAybe  a little more defensive protection becuase if you ask me, Carrick makes up for that with his passing ability.

 

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

Kikin Fonseca is my top Football Manager recommendation.  Ahem.

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.

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:

 

 

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.

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:)

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|

get Pazzini in!  He was brilliant in the U21 game when he scored the hat-trick.

 

And for all the FM boffins, yup he's a bit of a legend on there too.

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

---------------Given-----------------

 

Hutton--Taylor--Naldo--Enrique

 

-------------De Rossi---------------

 

SWP------V. Der Vaart----Zoggy

 

--------Huntelaar---Martins------

 

 

Hutton £8m

 

Naldo £10m

 

De Rossi £15m

 

SWP £12m

 

VDV £13m

 

Huntelaar £12m

 

£70m - Sorted 

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?

Something that has dampened my enthusiasm is that his last two jobs didn't go exactly according to plan.

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