AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Think that conclusion is a bit much from one tweet by someone who doesn't know the full picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Ian - it is what seems to be happening at the moment. The club seems intent on shifting out the higher wage earners/those with re-sale value and bringing in Bosmans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBG Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Since when did Mark Douglas become this trusted sage for all things NUFC? Having a Twitter account has somehow given him a credibility he doesn't deserve. He's never been any different to any other local hack. His communication with fans via twitter has been pretty good and he seems to be switched on with matters at the club. Hardly the greatest journalist or writer for that matter, but he appears to know what's going on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I agree up to a point, but there certainly aren't enough examples to say it's a general strategy, or that it means we're actively looking to sell all of our players. Nolan we were right not to match what he's getting at West Ham, Barton is still here, Enrique is a unique case because he is class and his contract is running down. I don't doubt that we're trying to reduce costs and get bargains, but I think it's a step to far to say we want to sell everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 He's always been infamous for the injuries. Looked like he would be an outstanding player at one point, but kept getting knocks and tears. Just read the Wiki page, seems not much has changed since I used to follow Valencia a bit. PS: By "outstanding" I mean one of the very best around, he was brilliant at his peak but couldn't sustain it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 splash some cashhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh This is what I want us to do as well. We've spent nothing and still brought in some quality players. If we add a couple of shrewd signings - and they may be heavy investments with a bit of risk - we could have one hell of a season.

Guest Antec Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Matuidi and Erding agent hints at NUFC move * by Mark Douglas, Evening Chronicle * Jun 21 2011 THE agent for Newcastle's top transfer targets Blaise Matuidi and Mevult Erding has hinted that they would be interested in a move to St James' Park. French super agent Pierre Frelot represents Paris Saint Germain striker Erding and St Etienne’s highly-rated Matuidi – both high on the Toon transfer radar. And while he will not go into specifics about the deals being lined up to bring the pair to Tyneside, he reckons that Newcastle’s sky-high reputation over the Channel makes United an appealing prospect to France’s top talents. Newcastle have already brokered deals for international midfielder Yohan Cabaye and winger Sylvain Marveaux but know that the fees being demanded for Erding and Matuidi make them more complicated transfers. There is also serious interest from elsewhere in the pair, with Roma, Arsenal and Tottenham in the hunt for them. Asked whether St James’ Park would hold appeal even though Newcastle can not offer European football next season, Frelot said: “Any player in France would love to come to Newcastle – they are an absolutely fantastic club. “All the French lads who go to Newcastle are really enthusiastic about the club and the football public in the North East too. “Newcastle has a place in the hearts of French football. Great players like Laurent Robert and David Ginola have played there and enjoyed it and the supporters loved them too. “Of course any French player would be interested in Newcastle.” Having already recruited three new faces, United will hope to step up their efforts to bolster their squad later this week. After a short break over the weekend, boss Alan Pardew is back in the country and set to meet top club officials today, and moves for £10.5m-rated Erding and £13m Matuidi will be high on the agenda. United have not gone as far as tabling an offer for either as yet, but enquiries have been made. He will also be looking for reassurances on the future of his top players. The club do not want to sell Fabricio Coloccini, despite Seville’s interest, and Pardew is understood to be keen to find a resolution to the long-running Jose Enrique saga. Meanwhile, defender Neil Taylor’s move to Newcastle is still to be confirmed. The player was in Tyneside for most of last week and had told the club he was returning to Swansea to inform the Premier League new-boys of his intention to move to the North East. The move was expected to completed on Monday, but now club insiders say it is unlikely to be rubber-stamped today. Everton have been credited with an interest in the Wales international.

Dokko Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Such a shame for Hargreaves, had he not been injured all the time he'd be arguably Manu's best central midfielder, seems he's willing to take a play and pay contract as well, if someone even gets 10 games out of him for the season it was worth it. His last 3 years have been a disaster, but he wasn't injured much before that, you'd like to think he can put it all behind him and play out the final years of his career, but if Fergie thought there was a chance of that happening he would have offered him a new deal surely? God knows. One things for sure if there's a hint of his injuries subsiding and he is willing to play and pay, then he'd still make a great signing for someone in the premier league.
