Guest Roger Kint Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I'd sign Simpson & Kilgallon permanently (as long as the latter doesn't mean Taylor or Coloccini being sold), and extend Harewood's loan deal or another centre-forward. Same here, may even stretch to another loan for the left hand side, either LB or LW cover just for a bit of depth. Sadly what we would do and what will happen......

Unlucky Luque Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Would rather get Ukra than Beckford. Probably half the cost too. The majority have never seen him play and he is a total unknown quantity in this country, you must have seem a lot of him to be so sure he can do the business here? A youngster from a major European club is more tempting than a £5m rated striker who's hardly scored a goal above League 1 and comes across as a bit of a cunt too. I have seen Ukra play about 3 or 4 times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen Ukra play about 3 or 4 times. To be fair we have signed some prize duckeggs from 'major european clubs' so thats irrelevant Beckford(while i agree he isnt the answer) hasnt scored above League 1 for a very simple reason. Thats 3 or 4 times more that me(and i guess a lot here) what type of player is he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Fuck you Shearegol you will not rest till we have a front 3 of Forrester, Sharp & Keogh.

MKSC Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Been saying it for 2 or 3 years now. Billy Sharp. Sheff United want to sell him in January for £2m. Get him in. Not sure about him. He has done really well at Scunny and now at Donny but you have to wonder why Sheffield United would not play a proven goalscorer at this level?

So apart from when he's been given an extended run in a team then? He's a quality goalscorer, and would outscore all of our forwards quite easily.

Astroblack Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Newcastle are plotting a move for Rangers Kris Boyd as they ponder whether to extend Marlon Harewood’s loan deal. Aston Villa striker Harewood, 30, has scored five goals for the Championship leaders since arriving in September. But his loan agreement expires next week and Toon boss Chris Hughton has not disclosed his intentions, despite talks with Harewood. Now Newcastle may move instead for Rangers forward Boyd, 26, who is up for sale as he is a free agent next summer. But Harewood is still hoping to clinch a move to St James’ Park as his Villa contract expires next year. Harewood’s agent Phil Sproson said: “Marlon has gradually built on every performance to get stronger and fitter and his confidence is now soaring. “Marlon and I appreciate he had a slow start at Newcastle due to injury, a shortened pre-season and lack of first team football. “But ideally he would like to stay at Newcastle until the summer at least.” Harewood joined Aston Villa from West Ham in July 2007 for £4million but failed to establish himself. He was a proven scorer in the Championship and Premier League for the Hammers with 56 goals in 170 appearances. I'd take Boyd. He knows where the goal is.
