Guest toonmental 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 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...

I'd also like to see one. But would a young athletic DM backup for Tiote not be more important? (especially considering the ACN) Possibly. Maybe somebody who's a bit of an allrounder. 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.

Anderson Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Hardly gonna say 'cannit wait to get some actual strikers in cos the ones I've got are fucking gash'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Lee Ryder says He spoke of bringing "two or three players who will excite the Newcastle public" and how a "couple of strikes and a wide man" would be his priority this summer. oh and that Pardew provided a buffet for the press! He's lovely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...
Optimistic Nut 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...
Ronaldo Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Perhaps he sees Gosling as a RB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Aye. Or cover for Tiote. Obviously not in style but in terms of the more defensive minded midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Aye I'm interested to see where Gosling fits in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 If we are still in for Larsson, he's played full back hasn't he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Not sure we'll go for Larsson anymore. Think we were after him in January because he'd be cheap, now we should have a little bit more to spend on a wide player. Don't think Larsson fulfills the 'player to get fans off their feet' description Pardew gives either. He'll probably go to the mackems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrSundlofer Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Aye I'm interested to see where Gosling fits in. I'm sure Gosling said he see himself as a central midfielder (defensive or attacking) and does not prefer to play right back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Withholding judgement until he actually plays for us, but I'm not sure he's got what it takes to be a regular CM in the Prem. Wouldn't be surprised if he ended up just being a utility player for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Aye. Right back, wide right (left at a push), central midfield, cover for Tiote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Sewelly I love that list. Basically players I'd like to see us sign Although I'm not too keen on any of the 'cheap striker' options, I just feel we'll go for a player like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
