taxfree Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Samba. £7m. My first thinking is he'll have better options. If not, top stuff. My second thinking is - if we get him, no way we'll pay for a good/top striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Samba would probably be interested, but there's no way we can sneak him in without others trying. Cissokho would be fantastic too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love it to happen but he'll have miles better options than us and will cost far too much than we'll be willing to pay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Can't help but feel Samba would cost far too much for us. Probably would, seems unlikely but in theory he would be a great signing. How old is he now? 27? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 There's nowt in the story though, surely? Like the shite we got on Sundays in the summer about our "shock target" and being linked to Odemwingie or Defoe or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 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. further down that article..... "Another possible target is Jean-Alain Boumsong, who is looking to get back to the Premier League – five years after his spell at Newcastle United. The French centre-half, 32, is available at Greek club Panathinaikos and being offered to top-flight sides either on loan or as a free agent. Boumsong, who played for McLeish at Rangers before moving to St James’ Park, wants to play in England one last time and is desperate to get fixed up next month." but to Villa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Cahill has the contract/sellonability factor though which is way more important. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Cahill is younger and very underrated. Carroll said it was the hardest defender to play against. Very highly rated by strikers around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 One thing Cahill does have over Samba is that he'd suit our trying to bring it out from defence style. Samba ain't the best with the ball at his feet. I'd be flabbergasted if we signed either like, absolutely astounded and either/or would improve our defence absolutely loads but alas players need paying and clubs want fees.

Flip Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Underrated? Get out, he's a good player but very overrated. Every time Ive seen him Ive been impressed. But dont know how is rated over there, but in Sweden he is very underrated. I would wank over Samba if he came though both are class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
