Guest Shaun Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Newcastle are monitoring Celtic's Victor Wanyama as they brace themselves for offers for midfielder Cheik Tiote. Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are said to be interested. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2077293/Newcastle-wants-Victor-Wanyama-fro-Cheik-Tiote.html I'd snap their hands off for £20m for Tiote.

Unbelievable Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/8974069/Alan-Pardew-eyes-10m-Ajax-defender-Jan-Vertonghen-to-stop-the-rot-after-six-games-without-a-win.html Newcastle’s defence, which has lost Steven Taylor for the rest of the season to injury, is starting to look brittle and Pardew’s main priority is the signing of a centre-back. He has watched both FC Twente’s Douglas Franco Teixeria and Ajax’s Jan Vertonghen recently and appears to favour a move for the latter despite his £10 million asking price. Really can't see Verthonghen being interested in a move here. Think his stock has already risen significantly higher than us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Either Douglas or Vertonghen would be fantastic signings. Mbiwa too. With so many great centre backs on our radar, its hard not to get excited. .....but then, who are we kidding? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shaun Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Vertonghen is quality, would be very surprised but then I was with a few of our more recent signings. In regards to Zaha, everyone's going on about Palace's amazing youth system but have any of their youngsters come of anything? Moses average Prem player at best, Bostock sunk under Harry's brilliant youth policy...who am I forgetting? About half their current starting-11. Clyne is fucking amazing.

Sifu Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 find it hard to believe we'll sign a cb for £10m Colo? granted but just finding it difficult to believe Ashley would sanction that kind of money on a cb now Yep..... At most I think we'll probably pay £5million for a CB. A £2million fee could get you a defender who would provide decent cover (eg. Ridgewell).

midds Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Waiting for someone to suggest we're only going after him as we know we have no chance of signing him. The old "we really tried to get him" line being reeled out on January 31st. Never even seen the bloke play btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shaun Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 If we don't buy a good CB and a good winger we will drop further down the table. It's as simple as that really. Just hope Ba's knees hold up. *knock on wood* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhaircut Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 The thoughts with Vertonghen might be for him to play left back when Taylor returns or possibly even replacing Tiote in midfield. Kills a couple of birds with one stone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I know nothing about the player but am I the only one concerned about two centre backs who apparently have the same style? Wondered this, too. As much as I jizz myself when it works out with Colo, two CBs playing around with it would scare the living shit out of me. Also hope Saylor comes back to keep his partnership with Colo going. But of course that's desperately wishful thinking when we've got the whole second half of a season to worry about without him first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Not in the press but from a mate who is often ITK. He reckons Pardew is as nervous as owt about a £7M buy out clause in Tim Krul's contract which could see him gone in Jan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I know nothing about the player but am I the only one concerned about two centre backs who apparently have the same style? When the possible alternatives are 'slow and always likely to concede a penalty' and 'incapable of winning a header or marking anyone', I'll take two ball-playing centre halves. Anyway, just because he can play the ball doesn't mean he has to- lumping it is still allowed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
