Cissokho and Vertonghen would be incredible.

 

agreed although i am greedy and would love to see a striker as well especially as we are donald ducked when Ba goes to the African Nations Cup. Olivier Giroud perhaps (me being a so called delusional mag kernt)

French clubs are absolutely shitting themselves with Newcastle sniffing around. The fans must hate us.

 

The French clubs will be shitting in case we take a good player off them and send Obertan in return.

Let's get Gourcuff.

 

Don't need him, we've got Ben Arfa. Plus. Gourcuff doesn't look like the player he was at Bordeaux these days.

 

Cissokho however, sign him up!

 

But he could keep Hatem company on the bench! :(

 

:bluestar:

Lasses would be frothing at the gash with Gourcuff and Cabaye in the same midfield. Town would be smelling Like Shields fish quay on a match day.

Giroud is better looking tbh.

http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/12/26/luuk-de-jong-flattered-by-newcastle-united-interest-72703-30008077/

HOLLAND striker Luuk de Jong has opened the door for a January switch to St James’ Park by admitting he is “flattered” by Newcastle’s interest in him.

 

United have watched the FC Twente forward over the winter months and the Chronicle understands he is one of three strikers on their hit-list.

 

They also like Crystal Palace striker Wilfried Zaha and Lille’s Moussa Sow.

 

De Jong has told reporters back in his homeland he would love to join the Toon – and reckons that the English Premier League would be “perfect” for his style.

 

The highly-rated 21-year-old earned a call-up to the Dutch senior squad after a stunning run of form for Twente. He has scored once in six games for the national side and is also being watched by Everton.

 

De Jong said: “Of course in the future I’d love to play in the EPL. I’ve read about all the interest but personally I haven’t heard so much till now.

 

“The Premier League is a really good competition and I think that the type of football played there is suited for me. They play a lot with long balls and crosses, while some teams play really good football.

 

“Defensively a lot of teams play in zones so there is always a lot of space between the lines.

 

“(The speculation) is a sign I’m doing my job well otherwise if it’s true then these clubs wouldn’t be following me.

 

“Believe me all this doesn’t affect me or keep me occupied, for me it’s only important that I’m fully focused and playing well for FC Twente again after a period when I wasn’t as good.”

 

It is by no means certain that United will swoop for a striker in January, with centre-back targets appearing to take priority in this window. They have enquired about Ajax’s Belgian defender Jan Vertonghen and tabled a bid for West Ham’s James Tomkins.

 

But manager Alan Pardew said last week that after the breakdown of Modibo Maiga’s move from Sochaux, there are no guarantees that Newcastle will be able to move swiftly in the window. He said: “It’s a difficult window to get a good player when people don’t want to lose their good players.

 

“It’s not just difficult for us, it’s difficult for every team. You locate a player, then they’ve got to get a replacement – and is another first-team going to let them go? There’s a knock-on effect.”

Looks like we could be signing that Irish guy, N. O'Body.
