Guest andrew Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 From Guillem Balague SkySports.com Blog: Hi Guillem, Even though I support Newcastle I watch a lot of Spanish football and I would like to know if they any young players that maybe Newcastle will be able to purchase cheap with great potential just like Jose Enrique who is becoming a top talent. Maybe someone like Thiago from Barcelona which is a doubt but the few times I seen him he seems to be a class act and from what I've heard of watching La Liga on a weekend is that his contract is up soon? So maybe there is a chance of maybe signing? Daniel Mckinley GUILLEM SAYS: Surprisingly, Newcastle were thinking of signing Jose Angel from Sporting Gijon - a left-back who is only 21 and would be a replacement for Jose Enrique. He'd be a great replacement as well because I think he is going to be one of the best left backs in the country. Apart from him, I don't think Newcastle have shown much interest in signing young targets from Spain. Certainly sounds like we've been looking for replacements for Jose, there's been quite a few left backs linked. Hope he gets this contract done, but if he doesn't we do need to be looking at other targets as replacements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Why do people keep saying that Thiago's contract is up? He still has two years on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 And the Sunday Sun understands United WILL make progress on the signing front today, with an announcement being lined up for lunchtime if things go to plan.

BONTEMPI Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 So no other links to players other than Ireland? If he's the only one in it's pretty poor by all involved tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I would be happy enough with Ireland and Ben Arfa this window. We aren't desperate at all, rather we don't overspend on average players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't agree there. It will be a great transfer window if we kept hold of Carroll, Barton, Tiote, Enrique etc. and manage to bring in HBA & Ireland. Prices are so inflated and players are so reluctant to move in January that you'll struggle to make wholesale changes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not in the Premiership but if you cast your net a bit wider yes. Rakitic, the 2 defenders from espanyol, Andrea Barzagli, Pazzini, Buenonotte, & Gary Medel have all moved for below what is probably their true value off the top of my head.

We play in the Premier League, so your point is moot. Only Bent has moved for big money so far and that's fairly unprecedented for this time of year.

RupertCommunicator Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I honestly couldn't give the tiniest little shit about any of the foreign leagues. Shit, violent fans, diving that is worst than than the premier league and referees that send a players off for blowing on an opponent. It annoys me that Sky wastes so much of my subscription on foreign football that I don't watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we are allowed to buy players from outside of it. Hell, even HBA was a potentially a steal at what we paid. You need to be creative in the January window.

RupertCommunicator Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 It pisses me off so much that they don't show Saturday 3pm kick offs either. Considering there are usually 10 prem matches on in a weekend, you'd think that they could show footy on a Sat PM. What am I paying my money for? I don't want to see some greasy spanish cunts rolling round like fannies on the floor. We've already got an Argie who does that for us at SJP.
