Didn't Allardyce nearly sign Baines for us?

That he did. Even better

I'm all for squad depth and the more promising players the better.

Without belittling us I think players do see us as a stepping stone to better things. Few decent seasons with us and they'll all be after him. Think the fans and stadium comment from his isn't rare when were linked with players. Yes premierleague wages but those two things are still a big draw for players imo when it comes to Newcastle. Pretty much all we have going for us.

Leverkusen deal for Alderweireld doesn't seem to be happening. Might give Roma the edge now.

Quotes!!!

This thread today man. It's started.

Wish we had Adidas back. Some lovely kits.

Twitter hysterical over that double bid rumour.

Aye I mean more in the end result of us not landing targets.

Echoes of the Luuk De Jong saga this.

This is my initial crying and depression. I can see how it all went downhill from this post.

Full of emo kids this place at times Emo or not he's right. Really? Show me one shred of evidence that we are 'looking at Darren Bent' I mean actual evidence not a quoteless article in the Daily Planet. Edit: Is there a website that lists every PL transfer so far? Just want to see how 15 clubs have pushed ahead of us so far. If by evidence you mean quotes from the club actually stating interest, then that means we aren't in for Bony, Aubamayeng or Gignac either. We don't have proof we are in for Bent, as you don't have any proof we aren't. I am not the one crying over it though, we have plenty of time to sign people. You dont need to go into mass depression with every transfer story when 99% are complete bollocks. No crying or depression over it. I actually just stated I think Bent will end up here.

Swansea to complete the signing of Vitesse Arnhem's Ivorian striker Wilfried Bony within hours, for a transfer fee of €12 million [AD.nl] Not sure how believable that is but stuck in here anyway.

Was the Wonga carry on. Not sure if that means he's going though.

For me it's a pointless signing simply because he thrives on service and our chance creation last season was abysmal. Aye, he'd have the same struggles as Cisse had this season.

I think i'd sooner keep Williamson than sign Thomkins like.

Aye thats why the press are running with it So you don't think Pardew wants Darren Bent? What does that matter? I dare say Pardew wanted Carroll & Falcao but as its not in his hands who cares what he wants? The club indicated to the local press that they wont pay his fee or wages so quite why the national press and gullible people think we will is beyond me really. This changed imo as soon as JFK came in. He will likely listen to Pardew's english targets over Carr's french names. If they are reviewing the strategy or blueprint then I wouldn't be surprised if they manage to sort a fee out and knock Bent's wages down a tad. Not gullible, just can see something in it since Kinnear came in. So you automatically assume the worst without any proof? I mean like the club actively going for Carr's targets as i type if you believe the media who would know more than me and you? Fair enough, gullible wasnt the right word then really I said it's likely, which imo it is. Nothing concrete, no assumptions and aye no proof. I only go off what I read. It's not exactly the most outrageous claim to say I think Darren Bent will end up at Newcastle. So you prefer trusting stories with zero quotes in them which go against everything the club does in the transfer market? Fair enough Ah man. No. I'm looking at the season just gone and think they will alter the strategy slightly if Pardew and Kinnear have their say. I shouldn't have to look for quotes to make an opinion if a player is coming. That's for one player, i'm not suggesting they are going to bin the blueprint altogether and ruin all previous work. I'm sick of arguing. I think Bent will be here, you don't.

I didn't say we were hoying out the transfer strategy btw, I said we may see some deviation from it for one player.

We've just brought Joe Kinnear in to personally run the rule over signings - I think it's entirely possible we will see some deviation from us signing young french players, wether that's right or wrong. We don't know what was said in that meeting a month or so ago. That's why I still think it's quite likely we'll see Bent here, if Pardew & Kinnear put their bonces together who knows who we'll bring in.
