tomlkier Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 From The Journal: French reports linked them with a move for Bordeaux’s 6ft 7ins Mali international Cheick Diabate. He seems to get taller with every new report on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DairylandMag Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I saw that Drogba/Adebayor comparison on IMScouting as well. I watched a replay of Bordeaux-Lens from earlier this week to get a look at him. He started and had a pretty decent game (scored on a header off a corner that got ruled out for a weak foul), I thought. Obviously this is only based off one game, but he reminded me more of Kenwyne Jones than Drogba/Adebayor. He's still pretty raw, though, and doesn't have much top-flight experience. If he's the top striker brought in, that's a tad worrisome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 The Journal understands several of their top targets have already turned United down, forcing the Magpies to look further down their wanted list even before the transfer window opens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 The Journal understands several of their top targets have already turned United down, forcing the Magpies to look further down their wanted list even before the transfer window opens. Gervnho, Gameiro and Sow perhaps? Better to aim too high then too low I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that funny? Worrying, if true. Sooo predictable. I suspect it would be players like Gervinho who was always going to be out of our reach.

If he's the top striker brought in, that's a tad worrisome. Just watched the highlights for that game and for the Saint Etienne game which he scored in. Seems like a decent prospect, but definitely not a first choice striker, but a good long term replacement for Ameobi I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Players turned us down eh ? does that mean we already had fee's agreed them ?.. it also means we could be guilty of tapping up, offering contracts already are we.

Plays on the right of a 3 cutting in for Porto so no idea how he'd do upfront for us if we play the same system we do now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I'd love to get N'Zogbia just for the Mackem reaction. They seem to think he's a definite purchase every summer! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomlkier Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 NOTW reckons we are beating Sunderland to the signing of N'Zogbia. Alan Oliver in the People reckon Man Utd want Enrique. Seen a couple of reports valuing N'Zogbia at £6m. He'd be a decent buy at that price, but surely he won't go that cheap? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 It would make my day if we got N'Zogbia and and Enrique stayed. Dalglish and Sunderland....two thieving vultures denied. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATB Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Normally i wouldn´t be up for it. But Zoggy back? Yeah, I would like that. BUT Jonas has to stay. We need depth not one in, one out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Of course Jonas has to stay, with Zoggy we'll have 6 players who can produce at this level in midfield. Possibly Guthrie too, would need a need DM, like Reo-Coker for cover, as he seems like a cheap cover and who isn't as shit as Smith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnes23 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 N'zogbia article : http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/notw/nol_sport/1297767/Newcastle-fight-Sunderland-for-Wigans-Charles-NZogbia.html NEWCASTLE have stolen a march on rivals Sunderland in the race to land Charles N'Zogbia. United bosses are putting together a £6million deal for the 24-year-old French winger, who only left St James' Park two years ago. And they believe they are now in pole position to land N'Zogbia, who will quit Wigan this summer. The player has been the prime target for Stadium of Light chief Steve Bruce since January. Aston Villa could join the chase for N'Zogbia if Ashley Young's expected move to either Liverpool or Manchester United goes through. But Newcastle have declared an interest and the player is prepared to move back to the North East. Toon owner Mike Ashley offered £12m for N'Zogbia at the end of the transfer window in January. And Newcastle have not let their interest fade, especially with the player's value dropping so quickly. N'Zogbia was sold for only £6m in 2009 but had problems with both former boss Joe Kinnear and Carroll. Newcastle boss Alan Pardew will have in excess of £15m to spend this summer, with Middlesbrough left-back Joe Bennett and Bordeaux striker Cheikh Diabate among his possible targets.
