Yep signing an attacking fullback is a must for any type of narrow system with 2 strikers, hopefully a fullback is the next one in after Anita.

It sounds like he has a great touch, movement and pace as well as being a good finisher, size doesn't mean f*ck all with a player of that skillset. As long as you don't play like Pulis and Fat Sham as you said.

Not really willing to accept, i think we definitely need one but Pardew seems to be focusing on other areas.

There are ways of playing Ba and Cisse in central positions and play with Cabaye, Tiote and Anita in midfield. I prefer 4-3-3/4-2-1-3 with Ba on the left it may not suit him but it suits the rest of the team, but there are ways of not struggling with possession while playing 3 midfielders and 2 strikers.

Luckily i highly doubt we will bench him, i know it seems small in football terms but i cant see us spending 6.5m on a back up midfielder.

A Spurs fan who usually finds out Spurs info on another forum I go on says it was a Redknapp thing and they have no interest in him now. Seems legit. Nah he does come out with some info from Spurs from time to time, not just about transfer targets but also about their stadium plans. Is he called Martin Jol my any chance? My guess is Martin Lol.

The long term injury part is what convinced me tbh.

a #10 that scores goals? i'm liking what i'm hearing tbh.

WTF LMAO

The most expensive party with marty yet.

Tbf when you offer as much City supposedly have done it probably wouldn't take anyone long to make their mind up. Wonder what the add ons are.

Sahin has already said more than once that he won't join anyone outside the CL and i'm pretty sure he rejected you earlier in the summer. So yeah....

He will play alongside Tiote, not sure why every time we make a signing a player in that position has to be leaving. Same thing happened when we signed Cisse, everyone said Ba would leave.

F*cking brilliant

Good work

Didn't Pardew say all the targets gave him the impression they want to join? and wasn't Anita quoted he wants to play in England? Don't think sorting out personal terms will be a problem at all tbh, just a matter of when not if IMO.

Have you just made that up? Saw it on twitter, assumed it was true

Anita,"I speak with Tim regularly,he says that there are no supporters like Newcastle's and playing football there is like being in heaven." Agent Krul

Considering they call Colo "Coco" it's hardly surprising.

Pretty much yeah, would expect this to be done in next few days.

the fans are clueless as usual..... Dutch football ‏@football_oranje Vurnon Anita has confirmed Newcastle and Ajax have reached an agreement but no personal details sorted. #nufc #eredivisie

Explains these comments on another forum then

Spurs As long as he's not in before our game, i'm looking forward to the prospect of no Modric, Parker and Sandro.
