Scottish Mag Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 http://www.futbolmercado.es/el-newcastle-se-lanza-a-por-dos_article8644.html I've seen Tom de Mul linked recently, but they reckon we're also after Colombian centre-back Aquivaldo Mosquera from Sevilla as well. Great loan signing for us on FM09 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Meireles is the sort of player we need in midfield, he can help take the pressure off the back four and he will add that bite we're lacking at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Aye right.. http://www.fansfc.com/story/4655.html Newcastle United keen on Distin reunion 10:00 AM 12 January, 2009 Newcastle United Football Club are keen to take Sylvain Distin this month. The French defender enjoyed a successful loan spell at St James Park during the 2001/02 season, when he made 28 Premier League appearances. United were keen to take him on a permanent deal from Paris St Germain that summer, but the player instead opted to sign for Manchester City. Distin moved to Portsmouth when his contract expired in 2007, but reports are now suggesting the Magpies hope to take the 31-year-old back to Tyneside in a £3million deal this month. We sign Distin for £3m, stick him next to Bassong and move Colo into Butts positon and we have improved massively with the signing of one cheap player. Not saying Kinnear would do that though.

Mike Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Does Colo have much experience playing in midfield? Would seem as if his lack of speed would be an even bigger detriment out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Yeh he hasnt been great at Villa but I think he got off to a pretty poor start with them and lost his place quite quickly. Luke Young has been really good for them and has been filling in for them at left back and doing a really good job which has further limited Shoreys oppurtunities!! So he'll be full of confidence here! The bad news. Shorey is fucking gash. He's absolutely no physical presence, no pace *whatsoever* and no idea what to do when he does get forward. Put it like this. MON prefers to play Luke Young on the wrong side of the pitch, and NRC or Cuellar at RB to avoid playing Shorey. When Freddie Bouma comes back, he'll have even less of a prayer Please, please, please take him. Actually, if he did go to you, it would make much more sense of the N'Zogbia rumours.

To be fair,this guy has played for England and therefore cannot be fucking gash......he hasnt performed for Villa,but he's hardly played.Like you say Bouma will be fit soon and Shorey will be further down the pecking order,i think he'd be a good acquisition.If he was fucking gash,why did o'neill buy him in the first place.....he must have watched him.

Like I said in another thread, if he's up to the challenge to raise his game here (of all places), then sure - Enrique could do with a little competition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Shorey can deliver a set piece if nowt else so he is already better than the rest of our squad on that front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 cant believe we havent scouted rodallega, i reckon he looks in the mould of gomis k jones but better I am not sold on Gomis at all. Check his record out at http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/football/bafetimbi-gomis.html Apart from a streak last season he has done fuck all really in Ligue 1 for the £££'s that were getting bandied about. May be worth £5 million though. The PL may suit him more but atm we should staty well clear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatwax Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Enrique comes across as a determined character who would rather prove his worth than shirk away. Shorey would be a good challenge for him to up his game and iron out some of his more obvious weaknesses. LIKE SIMPLE FUCKING PASSING. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 As for Harewood.....O'Neill likes a big rough and tumble centre forward and Harewood,to him at least ,fit the bill.He was only ever going to be a benchwarmer with Carew there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
