The Prophet Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I'd have Rodallega like. Think he'd be good for us. Mobile, very keen, good finisher and will only improve. I can't imagine leaving Wigan for less than 8/9mil mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxfree Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 ALAN Pardew is pressing for a domestic-based striker to take the Newcastle number nine this season. The Toon boss has presented a hit-list to Toon board that includes Arsenal’s unwanted Nicklas Bendtner and Wigan striker Hugo Rodallega – and is urging Newcastle’s power brokers to break the bank to give him the goal power he craves. The club are looking at Continental alternatives and are in contact with Paris Saint Germain about Mevlut Erdinc, who is not in the picture in the French capital. Pardew is pressing for an English-based striker – and has recommended Bendtner and Rodallega to the board. The club held discussions about Bendtner last week but there are reservations about his attitude and his wages would be prohibitive. United are also unlikely to pounce for Bayer Leverkusen striker Eren Derdiyok, and have also counted themselves out of any move for Ajax forward Miralem Sulejmani after being quoted eight figures for the Serbian. Meanwhile, Newcastle have also been offered Manchester United young guns Mame Biram Diouf and Federico Macheda, but the club are gunning higher with their striker targets. http://www.sundaysun.co.uk/sport/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/08/14/asights-are-set-on-new-recruits-alan-pardew-79310-29231628/ Seems like Pardew is keener on Premier based strikers while the club are still pushing for Erdinc. Seems they value Carr's opinion higher than Pardew's if that's the case. Can't say I blame them. Thought about that myself. And agree, can't blame them much for that.

Tsunami Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 After what I saw yday we still need 2 strikers. I can't remember the last home game where we didn't threaten to score or at least have 1 promising attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 We did have promising attacks and did threaten to score. They were rare but not non-existent despite MOTD making it look like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Our best attacking move was Colo crossing for Taylor near the end. Ryan Taylor's volley probably being the second best. Think Simpson went pretty close with a cross too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Definitely rather rodallega than bendtner. Always liked him at Wigan. Certainly wouldn't come cheap though, think whelan would price us out tbh. Where's the Bellamy talk from? Insane he is beyond past it, the only bonus in bringing him back would be seeing Barton twat him. Odious dwarf. Fabulous player though, four years ago...

Tsunami Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 We did have promising attacks and did threaten to score. They were rare but not non-existent despite MOTD making it look like that. I was at the game and didn't once feel that we got at them or looked like scoring. I realise it was Ba's first game but he did a great impression of Shola. We put no pressure on their back line. Obertan provided some much needed pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 In Ba's defence it seemed like every time we broke he made a run off the shoulder of a defender and we just kept choosing the easy option into Shola's feet. Someone further forward in midfield would help the link up play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone further forward in midfield would help the link up play Yeah I saw that, he was definitely looking to be played in a few times but we didn't have the bodies in there and we never really got the ball far enough forward to put those passes through.

biggs Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Watching the game yesterday, I'm even more adamant that Bendtner simply isn't the answer. We need a speedy, nippy striker. Agree with this tbh ,clearly need some one to feed off Ba when crosses are coming in or looking for the through ball and generally chasing defenders that Shola doesnt do .

oldtype Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I can't even imagine what kind of player we're actually pursuing as a striker target right now. Would be quite "out of the blue" if we somehow pull it off before Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
