Guest sicko2ndbest Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Isn't Sambas contract up in the summer? If Blackburn let go they are signing their own death warrant What's 8-10 million when you are relegated? The only way this would be done is if Samba himself pushed it through Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Did someone say Samba's age needs to be taken into consideration? According to Wiki he's 27 (my bloody age). He's hardly an old man, arguably not even in his prime for a centre back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 If even only one of the fullbacks could pass or one of the wingers was actually consistently dangerous it would make a vast difference to the side. if any of them has some sort of movement it would make a vast difference to the side. given his limitations ryan taylor probably has the best movement of all our available wide players. Not including Santon in this i assume? in his time here so far, yes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2012/01/02/chris-samba-not-on-newcastle-radar-72703-30047235/#.TwGUCKO3dxs.twitter Chris Samba not on Newcastle radar By Lee Ryder, Evening Chronicle, Chief Sports Writer Jan 2 2012 NEWCASTLE United will not turn to Blackburn Rovers defender Chris Samba during the January transfer window. The 27-year-old is unsettled at Ewood Park, however, the Chronicle understands Magpies have their attentions elsewhere as they go into the winter trading period - despite reports that Samba was a Toon target. Samba - who is valued at around £8million - does not fit into United's transfer blueprint and was linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur today. Samba currently picks up £60,000 per week and Rovers are thought to be trying to move the player on this month but any deal to Tyneside would appear to be a non-starter. The French media have also credited United, along with Wigan Athletic, with a move for Michael Ciani of Bordeaux but the player confirmed he is happy at his current club and wants to fight for his place. He wouldn't come here for a pay cut anyway tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 We have to sign a couple of key squad players this January and we fucking wont. Sick of being led on and lied to by these cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 don't believe for a second we have any sort of 'transfer budget'. we'll pay as much for each individual deal on the basis of getting the player on the cheap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I'll consider this to have been a good transfer window if we don't sell any of our best players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Blackburn still have a reasonable chance of staying up. I can't imagine that they'd want to sell any players for financial reasons when the financial consequences of relegation are so huge. Likewise West Ham, in terms of the financial benefits of promotion. At this point, bringing in someone from abroad seems more likely. could be the bank dictating they must sell as they apparently want 10m back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I see Tiote has today also come out and said he thinks qualifying for Europe this season is a reasonable target. I wish the boardroom had similar ambition, because one or two additions and no major outgoings would see us ideally placed to go for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact we're not going to go down, so we could sell Tiote or Coloccini if the offers are good enough. Thats the worry like. But the more i think about it i wouldnt mind Tiote going for 25mil so long as it is reinvested and we get the LB, CB and ST we need. I'd be happy with Guthrie and Gosling playing in there with Cabaye till the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
