Albin's confirmed we've expressed an interest in him and that he's considering his future.

 

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.

Direct quote from him, "Like any professional would, I haven't rejected any offers. Newcastle are an historic club and are heading back into the Premier League."

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...

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.

Yep, that's what I mean. I know nowt about what's happening at say, Real Betis, but I'd say they're bigger than the likes of Sporting Gijon.

are you kidding? do you honestly think Ashley would finance wages for Scholes at 35? What 50, 60, 70k a week??? 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?

Theres no chance of any top 8 players(aside from loaning young lads) coming here for the forseeable future. As said wages wise its completely unworkable and the players wuold never agree to it, if they did you would have to question their motives tbh. Any suggestions like Ireland, Bellemy, Scholes etc are totally mental ;D

I saw them mentioned on the last page, so I just want to say that there is not a chance in hell that Matuidi, Sissoko, or Loic Remy will come here. First of all, the clubs will want massive transfer fees as they are the biggest assets at their clubs. (Well gignac may be the biggest asset at Toulouse I suppose). Also, these players will likely only leave for top French clubs or European competeing clubs across the continent. I would be astounded if any of them consider a newly promoted team. (Unless we offer ridiculoous wages of course, but I'm hoping NUFC is abve that now)

We are no ordinary newly promoted club though - we can still attract some decent players

Very true, our name still rings out. However, the players they were talking about are top, top prospects. The type that would be ambitious signings for the likes of Aston Villa and Everton.

I agree that most of the names mentioned are unrealistic. However, with the current finantial climate most clubs can't afford paying the fees these French clubs demand. I reckon we have more chance of getting the likes of Dia and Matuidi than Everton have. That is if Ashley is willing to spend in the summer.

Lorik Cana.

Cana is a bad example, really. We shipped him off because we bought in a player we thought was better in Stephane M'Bia, and the new regime seemed to have frozen him out anyway. Though he was captain, he was never one of the clubs' great assets. He was willfully sold/let go. Pretty sure Sunderland would have offered him outrageous wages as well, which is something we won't be doing.

 

edit: I don't think we miss him at all, and he's been absolute;y awful for SAFC, which is nice to see. :lol:

Does anyone know how Achille Emana is doing this season? In the Spanish 2nd Div with Betis, will be at the WC for Cameroon and based on the last i saw of him(allbeit over a year ago) would almost certainly improve our midfield

Tottenham defender Alan Hutton, who is on loan at the Black Cats until the end of season, is believed to be courting interest from North East rivals Newcastle.

 

The Magpies are on the verge of securing promotion back to the Premier League from the Championship, and the Scotland defender is said to be a transfer target of manager Chris Hughton.

 

Hutton is unavailable to play at the weekend against his parent employers due to the terms on his January move and Redknapp was coy on the 25-year-old's future, saying he had not heard anything from the St James' Park outfit.

 

He added: "Newcastle are very, very interested I hear this week. But they have not contacted us."

how would droopy face know we were very, very interested if we haven't even contacted them? Smells like upping/making sure the fee is right.

it does seem rather a contradiction unless arry is aware of any of our scouts watching him, but more than likely trying to squeeze more cash out of sunderland, think he'd be a good signing but in reality he'll be at sunderland next season
