Guest VegasToon Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 So who are we actually linked with? The last 5 pages have been all suggestions and no rumours. An anonymous attacking midfielder who will cost £10m+. The deal is 80% done according to nufcblog mackems.gif Where does the blog say that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicago_shearer Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Nufcblog doesn't seem to be any less professional than the uncorroborated guesswork, speculation and bold face lying that goes into professional UK football "journalism". Making the backpages doesn't seem to make it anymore true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swissmag Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Wishful thinking, but I'd like to see N'Zogbia (£10m?) and Smith (any £ is good!) moved on and with these coming in... Ebanks-Blake or Doyle Kyle Naughton Elano Jimmy Bullard Think these players could offer us a lot and they are realistic targets. Are we already in the championship? ffs Did everton say that when they signed Cahill? Did they fuckers. Or Jagielka? or Lescott? lol Im not saying dont sign anyone from the championship, Im saying those players with Zog gone would be a championship squad. Bullard and Elano both have premiership experience but man city and Fulham dont want them, both of whom are teams we should be competing with this season (not standing man citys new year spending spree). So buying players not good enough for them doesnt make sense to me. Elano has been good for man city, then again mido was for spurs, yes they can afford to replace him with a top drawer player, but until now they havent had the opportunity, and hes done f*** all to make them want to keep him. Disagree with everything you have said. Our side minus Zog is a championship one already then by your words. I believe we need depth to our squad and we need it NOW. We have some of our better players on long term injuries and only kids who are not good enough yet (if ever) to step in. Firstly, Fulham don't want rid of Bullard, they said he can go if they can't meet his wage demands. Elano has fallen out of favour with Hughes over personal issues (from what I can see) and he was a dangerous player for them last season. Plus Man City don't have to settle for keeping Elano as they have so much money they can buy whoever is willing to come for silly wages. Bit different from the angle of "they aren't good enough for them" that your trying to create. Mido hasn't been suggested, so again your picking a bad example and trying to pin it on a different set of players with different circumstances. Also, are you saying you'd prefer to keep what we got instead of adding Elano and Bullard to the mix? - Sorry but I don't see how our current midfield is better than not having Bullard & Elano in it to pick from. And please, suggest 4 players you think we can sign like I requested. If your going to criticise my choices at least have the balls to lay your cards on the table. I already did a long way back in this thread and i stick by it. Bullard has gone on record as saying he will take a cut in wages to stay at Fulham. Elano is not wanted by man city, theyve struggled for goals this season with Jo being slow to settle and still he hasnt featured. My point is to improve the squad, swapping zog for bullard or elano is not imo improving the squad, nor is signing untested players for a potential relegation battle. Im saying id rather keep zog than bring in two lesser players. You think Zog is better than Bullard and Elano? Talk about over rated. On his day, Charlie could come close to Elano. Hmmm...

Skirge Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Magpies are keen on Modise' Newcastle United are reportedly interested in snapping up the services of midfield maestro Teko Modise. The Bafana Bafana international is catching the eye of a number of European clubs, with AEK Athens and West Bromwich Albion already voicing their admiration of the 26-year-old. And the Sowetan reports that United have already approached Modise's agent, Jazzman Mahlakgane, with a view to signing the Orlando Pirates star at the end of the season. The Magpies are tipped to trump West Brom to the player's signature according to the newspaper's sources. Modise has already stated he will only consider leaving South Africa after the Confederations Cup and St James' Park may seem like the perfect destination. http://www.football365.co.za/story/0,22162,14341_4758329,00.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I've never heard of the player, never heard of his country, and never heard of his club. Maybe I'm just ignorant, but EDIT: OK, figured out that Bafana Bafana is just a word referring to the South African national team now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im saying id rather keep zog than bring in two lesser players. If your aware that Bullard has said he is willing to take a pay cut to stay now, why were you making out that the he wasn't good enough for Fulham and they wanted rid? You have suggested we get.. "Pennant Sol Cambell Crouch Micah Richards Risse" Do you really think that Riise will leave a Champions League side to join a relegation battle? do you also believe that Man City would give up one of their brightest defensive prospects in Micah Richards? Crouch would cost us £12m to £15m and do we really need Sol Campbell? he is 34 now, would rather have Bassong and Coloccini ahead of him. Your suggested transfers would cost around £40m to £50m if we could even get them as I can't see Crouch or Richards being cheap. And why do you love Zog so much? yes he is fast, but how many assists and goals is he picking up? - not much. He is a sulky person who has already gone on record saying he wants out, yet you want to keep him? are you stupid? if bullard has offered to take a pay cut to stay at Fulham and they still havent offered him a contract what does that tell you? Campbell would be cover for bassong and colo not a replacement, and certainly better cover than taylor, who i said we should offload for the right price. Risse is warming the bench and I reckon he would do a loan to NUFC to gie himself a chance of a premiership return with another club come the end of the season. Same with pennant. So that leaves crouch and micah richards both who would cost us cash agreed, but i said sell the likes of taylor, and zog(If he doesnt want to be at NUFC he can fuck off, but not to weaken our chances of survival) , and free up the wage bill by getting rid of viduka and co. plus some cash from ashley and i think its a possibility. And that squad would be far better than the shite you suggested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
