The Newcastle United Transfer Thread: D-Day [Spoiler: Not Much Happens]


Recommended Posts

As much as it pains me to say it, I actually wouldn't have minded that swap.

 

Oba's almost as much of a permacrock as Owen is.

 

He's our last remaining player with any pace. It makes sense to get rid as our other players could never stay with him if they were trying one-twoes.

Bent's pretty fast.

I can't say I understand why people are having a hissy over the prospect of Martins/Bent swap deal. He's hardly a goal machine.

 

He is proven to our most important attacking player though. Our record without him is abysmal.

But he is by far our most dangerous player... no debate.

 

He's hugely inconsistant, gets injured frequently and hasn't got a good footballing brain. His pace makes him dangerous but he doesn't even use that properly most of the time.

 

Bent is a much better striker. Put him one on one with a 'keeper and he'll find the net, put Martins on that same position and he'll find row J.

1505: Another colleague just spoke to Newcastle. They know nothing about an extraordinary proposed swap with Spurs of Obafemi Martins and Darren Bent. As for other possible signings today, we are told a big, fat zero. I'd continue to watch this space, however.

 

Mmm-kay.

I love how certain people are havign a go for trying to swap for Bent because it is a negative rumour, but have refused to believe any of the links to any decent players that are more positive rumours.

 

Pathetic.

 

comes with the territory when we've performed so poorly in the last 7 or so windows

:suicide:

 

Seriously, where do we go from here if there are no signings? How the fuck are we supposed to stay up?

until what time has the deadline been extended too? midnight?

 

As long as the deal has been agreed in principal, clubs are given a chance to get the players in after the window. It's not in their interests to set another deadline.
