Sifu 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." Pure lying that. That's journalism for you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Where's the Barnetta thing piped up from? Think i've missed a beat over the last couple days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Mind the chances are they've done it it between that time and been completely wrong. Whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Were we? Honestly don't know. I do remember us being linked in January, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 We were linked last summer too IIRC. EDIT: probably was January actually as Sewelly says. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 He's got a year left so he will be reasonably priced. I'd take him like, except for the fact it would probably mean no N'Zog - who I really want now. If we could get both mind, then, cocks out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Pretty sure Douglas said on Twitter we had a scout at the England-Switzerland game and he'd have an eye on Barnetta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 He'd be another giving up CL football if he did move so would be a coup (of sorts) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Shaqiri > Barnetta. Whoever suggested Onuoha, thats a great call. Although with him being English, we'll most likely baulk at the price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxfree Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 The Journal - Newcastle have also been linked with France international Blaise Matuidi, the £12million-rated defensive midfielder who plays for Saint-Étienne. He has been watched, but the priority remains strengthening options up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrSundlofer Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Actually Anal Oliver linked us with Barnetta some weeks ago... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBG Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'd have Barnetta like, seems a cheaper alternative to Zoggy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxfree Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'd have Barnetta like, seems a cheaper alternative to Zoggy. Very good player, but isn't Barnetta really injury prone? Don't need too much of those tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBG Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Don't know much about his injury record, but after watching him and the Swiss midfield overrun England I'd say he's certainly worth a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 He's very hit and miss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I thought we were first linked with Barnetta about three year ago, after the Euros in 08? If we have 'cooled our interest' in Zog, then for half the price, he'd be a quality signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxfree Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 "Interested in any "new" players?" Mark Douglas - Plenty! Making calls on it today.. Also says we have watched Barnetta for 12 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I thought we were first linked with Barnetta about three year ago, after the Euros in 08? If we have 'cooled our interest' in Zog, then for half the price, he'd be a quality signing. Is he strong enough to handle the physical side of the premier?

Colocho Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 So... Barnetta and Erding are in fact players that the board want, or scouts have kept an eye on not necessarily Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
