TRon Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Newcastle hope to have another forward on board before the start of the season and would like someone to have signed before they jet off to America on Saturday. But panic buying is off the agenda and the club will not stray from a list of carefully prepared targets.

I would be surprised now if we do actually make a decisive move for a striker, the pursuit seems to be similar to the N'Zogbia "chase". If the player falls into our lap at a stupidly low price and on low wages we'll take it, otherwise qe sara srara. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 What do you mean by fairly half hearted? I hope you're not implying that our chase for N'Zogbia is half hearted because we have refused to pay over the odds. What would you consider to be a 'full' hearted attempt?

Jack Flash Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Ameobi starting a league game again for us is unforgivable. Any lingering support I have for those involved would be over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Jesus Christ, calf the f*** down. Unforgivable I am fully supportive of the clubs frugal approach to this transfer window It's unforgivable if we're in a situation again where Ameobi is first choice. New strikers have been a huge priority for 7 months and he's currently second choice. One injury to our injury prone main striker and he's back in.

Ishmael Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Nah, he is good enough to be considered a reserve striker in our current position. We're stronger than last year in the attacking department, the club is still looking to strengthen but will not be held to ransom in what is a very precarious financial market. How you be anything but satisfied is beyond logic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're not implying that our chase for N'Zogbia is half hearted because we have refused to pay over the odds. What would you consider to be a 'full' hearted attempt? I'm implying that we won't get N'Zogbia because we won't pay the required fee/wages and someone else, probably Villa will. In a similar vein I'm now doubtful whether we'll sign another striker for the reasons already explained in the previous post. Of course the club could always blow both theories out of the water by signing either/or in which case I'll gladly accept I jumped the gun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hobshobs Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Ameobi starting a league game again for us is unforgivable. Any lingering support I have for those involved would be over. Would agree 100%. All the good work done this summer in terms of signings will be undone in one foul swoop if Ameobi is to be given a new contract never mind appear in the first team. He is the prime example of why this club has been where it is for so long. You get one half decent performance in every dozen or so games and that is it. Disgrace to the jersey in terms of effort. He is bit of a comic figure with our support but believe me he is an absolute joke in the eyes of anyone who knows anything about the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that doesn't necessarily mean that our attempts to sign him have been half hearted. I would rather let him slip by than pay over the odds for a man who only has one year left on his contract. Not to forget that his wage demands seem to be exceeding our budget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
