Guest Rob 1988 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Newcastle enter race for Manchester City defender http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/transfer-news/Newcastle-enter-race-for-Manchester-City-defender-Nedum-Onuoha-article845970.html Newcsatle have joined the race for Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha. The Magpies are desperate to bolster their defence after losing Steven Taylor to injury. And boss Alan Pardew likes Onuoha who can also play right-back and is set to leave City. Pardew also wants Birmingham left-back Liam Ridgewell,27, after having a bid rejected for him in August. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I'd be happy with Onuoha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I'd be happy with Onuoha. aye at the right price. (what the fuck am i saying ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Could he captain us from the off? That's Saylor's. Then he isn't a perfect replacement for Colo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 If we sign Onuoha and Ridgewell next month, I'll be happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 If we sign Onuoha and Ridgewell next month, I'll be happy. Two players? Onuoha, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 If we sign Onuoha and Ridgewell next month, I'll be happy. Two players? Onuoha, mind. If we are to sign just one defender next month, I'd actually happy with either one of them tbh. Would prefer Onouha though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Yeah, me too. I like Onuoha. Am sure there have been some concerns over his fitness in the past, or has suffered some kind of recurring injury though. 'Least he'll fit in.

BoSelecta Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Just watched a Jertonghen video, which consisted of 1 tackle and about 15 goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shaun Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Just watched a Jertonghen video, which consisted of 1 tackle and about 15 goals He's got a great head on him. Would be shocked if he came here, won't happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Onuoha would be perfect, as he can also play right-back, so when Taylor returns he can play there ahead of Simpson. (If we're planning on using Santon as a left-back) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Really don't rate Onuoha at all, seems to be another of the CBs who are extremely athletic but not great technically Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Also don't rate Onuoha. Wasn't good for the mackems. There should be better options around Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 i think Onouha is a sensible target, shouldn't be too expensive and is more than capable at fullback and centre half which is handy with a squad as thin as ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Can't see why he'd want to come here tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Can't see why he'd want to come here tbh. Because he's wasting away the best years of his career? I'm pretty sure he doesn't even play for the reserves, as they're now an EDS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I'd take him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure he doesn't even play for the reserves, as they're now an EDS. That's the point though. Everyone's rightly pointing out he'd be good cover in a number of positions, but that still puts him as a squad player. He could probably go somewhere else and play in their first team every week in his favoured position. Like he did at Sunderland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would easily be first choice right back and put up a very good fight to partner Colo imo. Certainly wouldn't struggle to get a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Thought Santon was the best choice for right back, with another left back coming in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
