Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Depends on what we play If it's Hatem Jonas New cf It would work That's what I was getting at. Think it would work well actually, with the Tiote, Barton and Nolan trio behind them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 CaulkinTheTimes George Caulkin Pardew presser: "I'd like a wide player, I'd like a striker on top of what we have. That's our focus." #NUFC Our strikers next season are going to be new guy, Best, Ameobi, Lovenkrands, and maybe Ranger. The new guy better be damn good and able to play every week. I have a feeling we will be counting on Best performing next season like he did this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I can only assume Pardew is happy enough with Simpson at right back. Personally I think we could add a lot to our game if we had someone who could bomb forward effectively and overlap better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudil Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 2 strikers Versatile wide man Central midfielder who can pass and keep the ball and maybe a young promising CB Would be what I'd be after if I was Pards. I'd also like to see one. But would a young athletic DM backup for Tiote not be more important? (especially considering the ACN) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're looking in France and they produce them by the bucketload. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Anybody see this @CaulkinTheTimes Jeremy Menez... or maybe that's just transfer chatter... From Gabriele Marcotti What was said? Only his name? On his day he is absolutely brilliant, one of the most talented european players around, he's very up and down though and often turns into mr invisible. Probably needs a lot of love and an arm around him like Barfa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Looking forward to the Summer, love hearing when we're linked with random foreign players, and then doing a bit of Dennis Wise scouting on them. The boring part between the end of season and the start of July where no real trasfer activity occurs can drag, but hopefully we'll sign some players early on in July to avoid the scramble at the end.

TherealnorthernTOON Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 its quite evident that are squad got big flaws, attacking options are one of the biggest. We can survive with the defence we have now and should adress our goalscoring possibilities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Couple of strikers sounds promising like. I can see one 'proven' Premier League striker who we'll be very meh about (Doyle, Cole, etc) and a £12m ish striker from France or Spain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Marquee striker: Rondon/Gameiro/El-Arabi/Sow Other cheap striker: Danny Graham/Shane Long/Kevin Doyle Versatile wide player: N'Zogbia/Dzsudzsak/Piatti/Jarvis Ball playing midfielder: Lucas Biglia/Marvin Martin Any one from each of these categories would have us going into next season much stronger, solving all of our problems in the forward area. Could probably get that lot for around £20-25 million, net spend a little bit lower if Routledge and a couple of others are sold. I'd personally like a big commanding CB too but I don't honestly think we'll be looking at the defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
