Guest BooBoo Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Exactly. It represents a huge gamble by Ashley, praying we survive on a shoestring so he can get a slice of his money back. We will only spend money if we let a Carroll, Jonas or Enrique go and even then we'll not spend every penny we recoup. Failing that it will be loans. I'm struggling to fathom why more people haven't grasped this yet, still speculating on players we are going to buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooneyToonArmy Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Robert Koren and Kalu Uche. I'd be relatively happy with those. Both on free transfers, very decent players, experienced, and we need more bodies in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Is Uche on a free? Thought he's looked class at the World Cup tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Is Uche on a free? Thought he's looked class at the World Cup tbh. There was a list of players available on free transfers and he was one of the names........just googled it again and apparently he might have signed a new deal ......not 100% sure though.

Doctor Zaius Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Whats everyones views on Altidore? Looks big, strong and fast. Technically decent as well, looks a good player. Only 20 so there might be a chance Villareal might want to loan him out again. Then again he only managed a single goal for Hull last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 On loan, wouldn't be a bad deal. He's quick and physical, and has a reasonably good fitness record. Aye, didn't have a great season last year, but at this point, I'd consider any reasonable additions to the squad... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 His pace would compliment Carroll well imo, and better than anything we've currently got bar the big man, would be welcome on loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I've been really impressed with Altidore in the past couple of games-- especially today. Of course, he's missed a couple of sitters but he's done everything else that could be asked of him. And then he's only 20. I think I forced myself to watch a couple of Hull games this past season and he was pretty poor. So, I wasn't really expecting anything from him. Pleasantly surprised. As an American I'd rather he didn't come to Newcastle. I'd rather see him go somewhere where he's going to play every day-- maybe the Championship-- and gain some experience and confidence. Is he going to get any minutes at Villareal? Hope they loan him out to someone who can afford to be patient and give him the minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gash Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I think he's quality, don't know how he only scored 1 goal when he pretty much caused every defence he played against a problem. Very good player. Top 10 quality definitely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooneyToonArmy Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Winston Reid (centre back/right back) of New Zealand has been outstanding in the world cup.....currently playing for a team in Denmark. Though he costs more than zero so might be out of our price range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
