matta Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 From the Norwegian League (tippeligaen, 4 rounds in): These are the profiles so far in the league (ish): Erik Huseklepp still looks good, and is still setting up goals, aswell seems like scoring. Per Ciljan Skjelbreid has nothing to do here. Doesnt look anything special in the league so far. Simen Brenne has been good, and is probably better than butt/smith, but to old and do we really need that level?. From Rosenborg, Anthony Annan looks good as always, and i really think he would be a massive, and cheap signing. Defensive midfielder.Essien loves him. Theres some other young guns, like Christer Kleiven at 22 who could become something. Marcus Pedersen at 19 is a strong striker and could be something for the future. Both fairly good finishers . Really theres isnt alot, but maybe some squad players at best. Will like to add Mikael Lustig, swedish international, a right back who could also do a job. Atleast Annan would be good, rest needs alot of work to step up to premier level. thats it for now i guess, some of the norwegians here might add some.

Huseklepp looks good and Skjelbred has been average? Come on man, Huseklepp has been utter shite in the first three games. The players who would improve our current side from Tippeligaen are Annan and Thioune imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeloEmre Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Ashley and the club's managing director, Derek Llambias, believe £20m to £25m is a healthy budget for a club looking to consolidate its Premier League position. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/apr/06/mike-ashley-newcastle-chris-hughton Happy with that.

Cajun Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 We could do a fair bit with £25m if spent wisely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 If we can get about £3-5m from selling Smith & Best, that could be a good budget. I won't hold my breath though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

summerof69 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 That is an excellent budget if true. I doubt it is but if it is, then fair play to Ashel,y with a budget like that, if spent wisely we could end up mid table, possibly higher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest loven Mag 11 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 if we did get 20 - 25 mil warchest, i think we should be looking to spend about 8 mil on 1 quality CF. think Pavlyuchenko would be class, his goals to games is unreal considering he never played til recently. scored 26 goals in 38 games. he is 28 but i think tottenham might be tempted to recoup 8 mil from the 12 they spent.

Ketsbaia Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 anthony annan would be immense. our top priorities should be a striker, central midfielder powerhouse and some sort of quality defender, but solidifying the squad is just as important. if we look in the right places, build a fantastic squad on a small budget can easily be done.
