TRon Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Parker. I wouldn't want Parker back tbh. I think we really need a strong running midfielder to replace Nolan next season. Guthrie and Barton have their qualities but neither are really dominant box to box players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_69 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I'd quite like us to sign Derbyshire, he always looked like a decent player. I also like the look of that Altidore fella at Hull - he looks better every time i see him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I'd like to see us go in for a few Spurs players. I know Jamie O'Hara has already been mentioned but I'd also like to see us make a move for David Bentley, Alan Hutton, and Adel Taarabt too. Don't think any of them are particularly that unrealistic either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 http://www.fulhamchronicle.co.uk/london-sport/allsport/2009/10/22/qpr-relieved-after-spurs-confirm-loan-agreement-113489-24992174/ Taarabt is definitely realistic. Never seen him play personally though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 £3m for a player like Taarabt would be good business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 What about that Skjelbreid form Rosenborg? think he is a Newcastle fan as well Is Taarabt a central midfielder or a winger? If he plays in the centre the signing of Sandro must have pushed him further down the pecking order? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 If Wham end up going down, given how f***ed up they are you indeed could fish some interesting stuff. I reckon Cole would go to a top half team, but what about Diamanti? I also rate Behrami, guy never stops running. Could be a good replacement for Smith, he even has the same hair Upson's a bit old and is starting to drop some clangers. Ilunga is also fine, but you have Enrique on that side.

Tooj Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 What about that Skjelbreid form Rosenborg? think he is a Newcastle fan as well I've heard a rumour Shearer supports the Toon as well. Not sure if it's true mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Players I'd definatley like us to go for if west ham goes down are Diamanti and Behrami. Maybe Noble, but he is very similar to Guthrie and Barton. Maybe Green, but then again we have other areas on the pitch that needs investment more. Maybe Cole, but we already have a big guy up front, and he would be expensive. Maybe Upson, but he is old and injury prone. Behrami at right back, with Simspson as back up isn't to shabby at all. Diamanti to get some creativity and end product from midfield. Only thing we would need after that to "secure" our place in the PL is a goalscorer imo.

Conjo Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 7 goals and 2 assists in 25 appearances(8 as sub), for a struggling side isn't that bad at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Didn't know that. I would still like him in our squad though. 3 goals and 2 assists in 17 starts and 8 subs for a midfielder isn't awful by any means, and we could do with a set piece specialist in our squad.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Probably mentioned already, but Matt Derbyshire anyone? Reading these articles, it doesn't sound like he'll be wanting to leave Olympiakos (who play in the Champions League) for a team fighting to stay up in the Premiership: - http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/sep/28/matt-derbyshire-olympiakos-blackburn-rovers http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/european/matt-derbyshire-ive-got-the-beach-the-pool-you-cant-pop-out-in-lancashire-and-find-that-1907442.html Blackburn is his home town club and he left them for Olympiakos. I'd be surprised if he wanted to join Newcastle, especially as he wants to win medals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Behrami for a replacement for Simpson would be good. He is primarily a right full back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Collison and Noble would be the two first on my list if West Ham go down. Although not spectacular, Noble is a very tidy footballer whereas Collison offers a little more going forward. Diamanti would also be a good addition as well as Behrami. I'd also be looking to try and nab Stanislas to back Jonas up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Stanislas looks promising in my opinion. But he's the kind of player they might want to hold on to, low wages and good future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Off the potentially relegated sides I'd look at: Eagles for cover/competition on the wings. Diamanti. Behrami. Belhadj. KP Boateng. Bikey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
