Baggio Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Didn't Pardew say he was happy with the size of the squad? He should definitely be aiming for quality over quantity as we've got to basis of a good squad that are 2 or 3 first teamers away from being one of the favourites for 7th IMO.

henke Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 If i were a gambling man i'd have money on us signing, or at least gtrying to sign Carlton Cole. Even if we were planning to spend the whole £35mil on one player we're limited by the wages we'll pay. I can't think of a prolific striker on less that £40k to £50, and i just can't see us paying that, so we won't be getting one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Odemwingie just over a million and he wont be on 50 grand at W.B.A. Javier Hernandez was 7m or so and he wont be on 50 grand either seeing as Man Utd are talking about doubling his wages as he's done so well. Marouane Chamakh on a free, i know he hasn't been brilliant but is a good player who maybe be better for a season in our league, Arsenal dont pay mental wages either. Decent scouting along the Odemwingie, Hernandez route means you can pick a good striker for a decent fee and they dont have to be some superstar name or ego, got be lucky to spot them but thats we pay international scouts (Carr) for Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see it, (though not at the 7m linked in the papers, on what planet are they living on if they think he's worth that) 27 years old, English with caps.

After watching Reading i'd rather have Long, but i know what you mean when you say "established", its silly money for english based strikers though.

Hanshithispantz Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Even the West Ham fans think Carlton Cole is shite, would be absolutely gutted if he was brought in as out main striker. Would rather keep the 7 million and play Best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Is every newspaper rumour going to get this much analysis on here over the summer? I highly doubt NUFC are interested in Cole. The Daily Mirror has a 16.9% transfer story accuracy for Newcastle United according to: - http://www.footballtransferleague.co.uk/newspaper.aspx?paper=Daily+Mirror 296 stories where 50 turned out to be right (it doesn't say how long back in time those 296 stories go).
