henke Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Depressing lack of tittle tattle Was it Allerdyce a few years back who landed about three guys with no warning at all? Beye and co. They hadn't even been whispers and all of a sudden they were at SJP getting their photos taken. That's the way to do transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

United made a huge £8million bid for the Lorent forward, but he has told both Newcastle and fellow suitors Tottenham and Liverpool that he would prefer to land in La Liga next season. :[ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUNDERLAND face a summer battle with Rangers to land out-of-contract Blackpool midfielder David Vaughan. I'd happily have David Vaughan here, been Blackpool's best player this season.

SUPERTOON Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Would take Shane Long, as long as we get another striker in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 My worry with Long would be that this season is a one off. Yes, he's been quality this season but its the first time he's got more than 10 in a season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Kevin Gameiro - probably just the Geordie Beano picking up on recent internet rumours. Their finger is is no more on the pulse than anyone else. As for Shane Long - a record of 1 in 4 for Reading is worrying if he is going to become our main focal point.

Agree with both, not sure if he has had injuries in past seasons or not but if he cam in i would want at least one better as well to come in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Asked a Reading fan about Long, he wasn't overly impressed with him as a potential Newcastle player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 On the best season of his career, but not that special. More than likely an expensive waste of money. Be disappointed if we are really interested, cant see Reading wanting to part with him and we can probably get someone twice as good for the price on the continent. Rather have Elmander on a free tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I'd be happy with him + someone who would really show that we mean business. Could maybe swing a deal that would mean Ranger going the other way for a year, but that sort of thing rarely happens for some reason. Mr X, Ben Arfa, Ameobi, Best, Long, Ranger, Lovenkrands ... would be a reasonable pool of attackers, assuming the main striker we get is bang on the money. Definitely think it should be him plus Ben Arfa just off him, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
