TaylorJ_01 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I remember Collymore talking about him before the England game. Said he was by far the weakest link in their defence. Should probably sign him then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Ben Arfa or not we still need at least 2-3 Players, so what they f***ing around at? Dithering is what this lot at the club do best. I swear we refuse to work at signing more than one player at once. "Yes Chris we will get to it, but not until we have sorted this Ben Arfa business out, then we can think about your next target."

Teasy Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Of course, if we don't sign a player during the same period as this Ben Arfa saga then we mustn't be able to look at two transfers at once, fantastic logic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewellander Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Sorry if this has been posted, but the Guardian is claiming that we've inquired about Victor Anichebe. As the article says, this certainly fits the profile of the type of player we're signing.

Cronky Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Anichebe looks a good player, but also a centre-forward type, which isn't top of the priorities. I'm not sure Everton will be keen to do us any favours after the Gosling episode either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 We had no blame in the Gosling deal. It's not as if we tapped him up. It was him and his agent who u turned on a handshake and left as a free agent. We then stepped in to offer him a contract. Everton are furious with the player but to blame us for the situation is a nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Alhasane Keita from Real Mallorca. http://www.diariodemallorca.es/deportes/2010/08/16/club-estudia-oferta-baja-newcastle-keita/595209.html Mallorca have received an offer for Alhasane Keita, a player not in the plans of manager Michael Laudrup. The club is looking to benefit by selling the Guinean forward, by saving €750k a year on his wages, a prohibitive figure for the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Wiki says he's a 27 year old, 5'6" striker. Only 8 goals in 47 games for Mallorca, decent goal record for FC Zurich & Al Ittihad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes1986 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Exactly the type of player I have envisaged in my head that we desperately need. (as well as a creative midfielder). Why? Because he's big, black, massive and could be a monster. Seriously though, without ever seeing him play, if we managed to bring in a big athletic central midfielder with legs and a creative midfielder I would be seriously confident about staying up. Not getting excited or carried away without ever seeing him play or even knowing if its true or bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
