Geordie Ahmed Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Apart from the Stadium naming paying for Sissoko it is sensible stuff and it all makes sense Not if this is true it isn't http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2220761/Newcastle-1-5m-Wonga-stadium-rights.html#axzz2KKrnyLTM I know Wonga are paying for the naming rights BUT the idea that we could only buy Sissoko because we sold the naming rights is preposterous, especially when in one of the many articles he talks about the club being on a sound financial footing and not needing to sell players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What income is paying for the bog roll, lecky bill etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Who gives a fuck what pays for what? The stadium/shirt sponsorship deal means extra income, which has been used to good effect to improve the squad, which is how it should be. Nobody knows if the same amount of investment would or wouldn't have been made without this additional income, so it's pretty pointless complaining it.

BeloEmre Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Doesn't sound like we will be signing a striker in the summer, not a 'purple' one anyway..another season of Shola beckons. Think we will sign a new second choice striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest optimistic nit Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Can you both not agree that for a transfer strategy to be successful you need to both target the right players and then get them in? If you have one, but not the other, it still doesn't amount to much.. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Doesn't sound like we will be signing a striker in the summer, not a 'purple' one anyway..another season of Shola beckons. It sounds like Gouffran was almost definitely arriving in the Summer before his signing was moved forward to January. Was his Summer signing a done deal? Anyway, we almost bought Remy so you'd have to think if everything had gone to plan we would have got Remy in January and Gouffran in the Summer. Based on that, I think we will be buying a striker in the Summer. The £8m set aside to pay for Remy hasn't been spent (assuming the money to bring the Gouffran and Sissoko signings forward wasn't from the same pot. If it was we've spent around £4m of it).

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 didn't we try to buy aubameyang after we'd already got gouffrran ? There were rumours that NUFC made an enquiry. We've only got Cisse, Gouffran and Shola as senior strikers. We must be in for another striker in the Summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 It wasn't just rumours though, it was official. Were NUFC actually named by his club? NUFC.com had quotes from his club saying they'd received an offer but they didn't say who from. People assumed the offer was from NUFC. The offer may well have been from NUFC but NUFC weren't named.

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Former Marseille striker Loïc Rémy was lured away from Newcastle United at the last minute in January when news of their interest was leaked and Queens Park Rangers pounced by offering to double his wages. The Tyneside club have pulled off some huge coups in the transfer market thanks to the scouting network of their head of recruitment Graham Carr, securing the signings of several established international players such as Yohan Cabaye, Hatem Ben Arfa and Moussa Sissoko at bargain prices. Their success has brought envy as well as admiration, however, and Llambias admitted they may have to start sending Carr to matches in disguise as other clubs look to track his movements and copy Newcastle’s business model. “We have made a profit of £1.4 million, but we will not have to sell to buy in the summer,” said Llambias, who has helped to turn a business that made a loss of £17 million into a profitable one during his time at St James’ Park. “There are several positions we are looking at. Next year, we will have the extra TV money. There is a budget to spend. But our transfer policy remains the same. No trophy buys. Basically, we will continue our model as it is. It works so we won’t break it. “We are actively looking at players and have been since October. All over Europe. It’s not just France. That’s been a good market for us, but there are only so many you can get from there. “I think Graham Carr has more company when he is out there. He’s not wearing a disguise just yet but definitely has more company. If he started wearing glasses, he would start looking like his son,” he said, in a reference to comedian Alan Carr. Newcastle expect to push their turnover above £100 million when they announce their next set of figures thanks to the new television deal from Sky and the “best commercial deal” in the club’s history with new shirt sponsor Wonga. It is from such a firm financial footing that Newcastle intend to push themselves back into the top six in the Premier League. “We work within certain boundaries of player salaries and player value,” Llambias said. “We’ll stick to our model, we will not go chasing the Oracle, but by buying the right players we can be successful. We have to be realistic, but we believe we can be a top-six or eight team, play in front of a full stadium and play attractive football. “The ultimate aim is to win something, but the Europa League has been a painful experience for us in terms of our league position. We weren’t ready for it. We still don’t have enough depth which is something we started to achieve in January. “We proved last year we had a squad capable of finishing fifth and we went into the last game with a chance of finishing fourth. We shocked everyone, but we don’t have enough depth. “Some clubs are closing the gap with the top three, but it is a long race. We aren’t sitting on an oil well and, unlike Manchester United, we do not have 350 million overseas fans.” Some good quotes and most importantly it seems he is learning, but of course the proof will be in the pudding.
