Dave Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 There's no way we'd pay £5m for a 28 year old. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 http://www.people.co.uk/sport/2011/12/18/newcastle-heading-for-a-tyne-and-wear-tug-of-war-for-aston-villa-s-james-collins-102039-23642631/ NEWCASTLE are heading for a Tyne and Wear tug-of-war for Aston Villa defender James Collins. Toon boss Alan Pardew is lining up a £5million January swoop for 28-year-old Welsh star Collins – but Sunderland are ready to enter the race, with Martin O’Neill hoping to snap up the centre-half for a second time. Yet Villa chief Alex McLeish is desperate to hang on to his Wales centre-half, although he will let another defender, Shane Lowry, leave. New Black Cats boss O’Neill signed Collins from West Ham in 2009 when he was boss at Villa Park and he is ready to pounce again for the defender who has 18 months left on his deal. Although Collins recently spoke of his desire to extend his stay at Villa, Pardew and O’Neill believe they can tempt him to the north east. Pardew has lost centre-back Steven Taylor for the rest of the season with a serious achilles injury and that has left Newcastle vulnerable with little top-grade defensive cover. With money banked from the sales of Andy Carroll, Jose Enrique and Kevin Nolan, Pardew will try to persuade owner Mike Ashley to give him funds so the Toon can keep up their fine start to the campaign.

Disco Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Very much in the Taylor mould but left sided. Personally I don't rate him very much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Not Collins, but could be someone over 26. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I reckon it's Ronny Johnsen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 The only thing that could slightly pass for 'shocking' would be Bassong returning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 The only player that would be genuinely shocking would be Titus Bramble, which it won't be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 The People with their "story". Douglas' tweet is a bit worrying but I guess like Skeletor has said, it'll probably be Bassong considering his history with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I would take Bassong back, in all honesty. The lad is a good player and is at a good age too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I would take Bassong back, in all honesty. The lad is a good player and is at a good age too. he was a good player here, hasn't been there, who knows where he's at now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I'd take a punt on him, on loan with a view to a permanent deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I would take Bassong back, in all honesty. The lad is a good player and is at a good age too. I'd take him back too given our current defensive situation. Loan with a view to buy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I would take him back but we have to remember this is Spurs, wouldn't be remotely surprised if they actually wanted more than they paid for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Call it stupid principles or whatever, but I really don't want him back. Plus he's looked poor for Spurs and they'd want a fortune for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I know the link was somewhat played down the other day but what a lovely lad Jordan Rhodes comes across as. Really wouldn't mind taking a punt on him at all, seems to have the right attitude to succeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I would take him back but we have to remember this is Spurs, wouldn't be remotely surprised if they actually wanted more than they paid for him. It has been rumoured that Spurs want £8 million. No chance we'll sign for him for that though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Would very very much rather try for Mbiwa than Bassong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
