BeloEmre Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 The Journal understands Newcastle already have the wheels in motion for a new left-back – with England international Wayne Bridge, out of favour Aston Villa defender Stephen Warnock and Alan Pardew’s former left-back at Reading Nicky Shorey all potential replacements. http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2011/07/26/jose-enrique-fined-for-twitter-outburst-61634-29118664/#ixzz1TCCmsmJj Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 None of those signings are even remotely likely. They couldn't have done a better job if they were trying to pick four players whom we conclusively won't sign. Just hurts the credibility of the local press in my eyes, had me thinking for most of this summer that they actually had some idea what was going on.

Its either we are now bricking it or the Journal are just getting very lazy and are being fed nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I wonder if we're starting to look at the older has beens earlier this window? At least we'll have our targets sorted for the last few hours of the window. Is Shefki Kuqi still looking for a club? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 To be fair the stories aren't written by Mark Douglas who is normally quite reliable. They are Lee Ryder stories. He is out there with pardew ffs. Just ask him! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Would rather slum it with a year of Perch at LB than waste millions on one of those lot. Well, not really, but you get the gist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I really hope there's no truth in us enquiring after Crouch. Even discounting the fact I don't rate him as a player, the thought of us having so few ideas after all this time that we're reduced to asking about a 30 year old Spurs player is laughable.

Same, but I don't think it rings true. Similar with the Bridge/Shorey links, it just seems like lazy linking to me. Can't see Ashley sanctioning the signing of any of those players.

Ishmael Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 12 goals in his last 67 league appearances, over 2 seasons, suggests that this 30 year old is not what we need. Also, no doubts, that the player will cost the club a large sum of cash, in regards to transfer and player fees. Not a progressive signing in the slightest.

There is nothing in it. He's too old and his wages are too high. As I have maintained all summer, we are not going to spend more than £8 million on any one individual.

He's writing shit, and what's even worse, he's getting paid for it. Those players are the polar opposites of our previous purchases. Never, ever going to happen.

Skirge Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I thought a new LB was already lined up with money put aside for the deal should Jose leave, any of the above would do as long as Jose stayed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
