Legacy Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 4 first team signings, or 2 first team signings with 2 exciting prospects signings who would be pushing on to be first team players would be decent window imo. We defiantly need a goal scoring striker (not cole) and a younger backup for Ben Arfa to play in the hole behind our main striker, because at the moment we don't know how he will play next season after the injury and I'd rather not have to rely on any of current strikers should he have another set back. Regardless of how much money we have to spend we will never sort out all our problems in one window, so it would be a decent step forward for next season.

Wil Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 May mean fuck all but I remember the Mirror's Darren Lewis was first to break the news of the Carroll deal finally being done on deadline day. So I'll not dismiss the Cole story until there's a denial from Pardew. I could see how such a deal may move to the top of Llambias's little list. It'll be a very easy deal to do. We can drive a hard bargain, get him cheap and the player would jump at the chance to come. There is the issue of the player's age, but they may be willing to forego that in order to strike a "bargain". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_69 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 What does anything Pardew says at this moment in time regarding transfers actually matter? They all play this game at this time of year - throwing out non-committal soundbites about the number of new faces they want to bring in and acting all coy about their progress in the market. Managers aren't judged on what they say to the press before the window opens, they're judged on who they buy. I, not being a complete fuckwit, will wait until the summer and see what happens rather than throwing a hissy about some throw away quotes in the local rags. Please join me. Nah, fuck that! Sounds rubbish! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/03/04/alan-pardew-we-ll-sign-four-or-five-players-72703-28280058/ http://www.eatsleepsport.com/newcastle-united/pardew-reveals-transfer-hope-1214311.html Doesn't sound very confident, and i think we need more than 4 players. well it's down to quality isnt it, 4 players going straight into the first team would be great imo. i believe you have to do these things gradually as its best for the squad.

James Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'm going by what Pardew said approximately 1 Feb. Along the lines of: "I have sought assurances from the owner that the £35m will be reinvested in the squad. That would be spent on wages as well, not just transfer fees."

PENKAAA Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'd add Harewood to that list. We al know how bad he is now but he was on fire back then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'm going by what Pardew said approximately 1 Feb. Along the lines of: "I have sought assurances from the owner that the £35m will be reinvested in the squad. That would be spent on wages as well, not just transfer fees." I wouldn't trust anything the owner said yesterday let alone over 3 months ago. Ashley has the attention span of a moth and I hope Pardew can work him on a daily basis and do the club right during the window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Never, ever seen the fuss about Reo-Coker. Mr Average personified. Him and Sidwell in CM for Villa probably sent brummie to sleep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Never, ever seen the fuss about Reo-Coker. Mr Average personified. Him and Sidwell in CM for Villa probably sent brummie to sleep. Good at getting stuck in, little else. I'd take him for free as back up to Tiote like if there was no-one else available, would prefer us to sign a deep lying midfielder to play there though who can also get stuck in.

Barnes23 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hopefully Pardew has got a good enough feel for the club to understand we need to aim for a higher calibre of player(generally speaking) than those he brought in at west ham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
