Willow Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Depending on how many we get in, we may even be able to do a little squad rotation from time to time, just like the big boys Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
quayside Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 A bit random as all the talk is about attacking players - but surely we are going to sign a a central defender to replace Sol Campbell. I can't remember seeing a single link so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 We were linked with some French under 21 centre back playing in Belgium I think. Could have imagined that though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliaquim_Mangala Might be good on the cheap. 20 year old France U-21 international. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 If Upson wasn't going to command mental wages I'd have been happy for him to be fourth choice. Be interesting to see where he goes. Wonder if anyone will take a punt on him. Get his confidence back and he could do a job at Bolton or somewhere then again he could quite easily continue being utter dross. Although playing alongside Tomkins/Da Costa is hardly going to help, both fucking terrible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Think he's been linked with Wolves. Given Mancienne's not there this season and Craddock is past it, could see him go there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Boyata on loan would be a clever move imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Boyata on loan would be a clever move imo. Makes no sense for anyone though. He can sit on the bench/play the odd cup game at City, they might as well just keep him. Same with the whole v. Aanholt craic. No point loaning players IMO unless they're getting the minutes on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Recoba Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2003610/Newcastle-close-Tranquillo-Barnetta-Alan-Pardew-set-pip-Sunderland-Craig-Gardner.html More Barnetta and Gardner nonsense. Also we shouldn't bother with loans, leave that to the mackems. Why waste valuable minutes on another teams players? Maybes if it was Berbatov or Menez though ...

Dave Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Newcastle manager Alan Pardew says he will match Sunderland’s £5m bid for Birmingham midfielder Craig Gardner. Oh does he? What a stupid way of making a completely unsubstantiated claim. At least put 'has told friends' or some bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 If it really is £6m for Barnetta I'd hope we're in there like a flash. I'd be absolutely delighted if we recruited him and N'Zogbia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 What type of player is Barnetta? Seems a very bold claim from the DM, who are actually quite good with their transfer nonsense in fairness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winger that can play on either sides. Pretty quick, can strike a ball from distance, can take set pieces. He's not turned into the player many thought he was going to though.

ponsaelius Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Ba/Erdinc Barnetta Ben Arfa N'Zog Cabaye Tioté Would be nice. Both Zog and Barnetta could interchange throughout a match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
