Guest Heneage Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Loic Remy wants to leave after being harrassed by Nice's fans. Such a good player, but the competition will be stiff. Matuidi, Hoarau and Dia would also strengthen our squad. I honestly believe Hoarau is just a rich man's Andy Carroll.Matuidi would be fantastic, but he's just not realistic, we'd be better seeing if we can Gelson Fernandes from St Etienne but I'm basing that purely on his form for City as I've not seen him recently. We clearly need some sort of physicality and athleticism in the middle, so really a Matuidi, Sissoko type would be ideal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Didn't realise but when was Marcelo Moreno Martins a Wiganer? Was decent when i seen him for Bolivia, got a brace against Brasil including a pearler of a FK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so, chance to play in front of a lot more fans more money better city. Might be wise to get another French lad in to help him settle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he'd wait for a bigger club tbh,one that has chance of europe. From his POV you have to look at it that we are the inferior club and be more likely to struggle next season so therefore no point moving. TBH I don't think I've seen B'burn play live this season so I shall have to keep my eye out next time they're on. Villa could be a good move for example.

Optimistic Nut Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 To be honest, at the moment I'd imagine we're considered a bigger club abroad than over here so I reckon we'll have more success in the foreign market than domestic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not that confident of him making it in the Premier League. I may be wrong though. He reminds me a lot of Luís "El Mago" Jímenez, Chilean winger/SS who floundered at Wham this season.

Village Idiot Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 And yes, I'd say that Newcastle's brand is nowadays better overseas than in England. Most people around here don't know about your recent miseries off the pitch for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Apart from the obvious requirements, I would have a cheeky try for Paul Scholes - IF Man U would release him on either a Free or a small fee. This guy is very fit for a 35 yr old, has masses of experience, and would be great for bringing into the side during games when we needed a late boost ; Scholes has a great scoring record from midfield and is a model pro. He would be invaluable as an example to young players - Clough and Taylor brought in Dave Mackay to give some stability and guidance to their Derby side and it worked a treat...Scholes may do a similar job at NUFC and hasn't had the number of injuries Mackay suffered before he left Spurs. All decent sides have a good blend of youth and experience and you don't get better than Scholes in the experience department. Zero chance of this happening for so many reasons. ...And the reasons are ..? None, apart from Scholes not wanting to move here, seem insurmountable to me...

No chance. why would he want to come here? up and move his family where they have lived for the past 20 years for 1 season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
