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...

Is 4 points clear halfway through the season not ideally placed enough? I reckon one will come in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact we're not going to go down, so we could sell if the offers are good enough. 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...

Guest VaVaVoom Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Laugh all you like lads. Tiote has been shite this season and is NEVER worth 25mil. I do agree however that its unlikely they will reinvest but its more likey that we would get a LB, CB and ST WITH 25mil extra rather than without it...

oldtype Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Whatever. If he plays in the Premiership and is over 25 we probably won't sign him regardless of how much he's on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu 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. Still pretty confident we won't sell anyone this month. Also pretty sure we'll sign someone too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Tiote has been shite this season and is NEVER worth 25mil. I don't think he's been shite but I'd definitely accept an offer of £25m. That would be twice his actual worth IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Chris Samba not on Newcastle radar By Lee Ryder, Evening Chronicle, Chief Sports WriterJan 2 2012Comments (25) Recommend (2) 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.

thomas Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Don't know why anyone's getting optimistic over incomings or outgoings. Or even playing at being optimistic This regime or the last, there's historically not been very much permanent winter first team activity - http://www.transfermarkt.de/en/newcastle-united/transfers-alle/verein_762.html. Look for all the blue lines (happened during the season) without stars (loans) ... not a great deal of inspiring prior transfers to draw on. Including loans it might be another story if MA wasn't deadset against them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 We cannot sell anyone in the main squad and must buy one or two to strengthen squad depth. Without that we'll have a massive uphill struggle to finish 7th or above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I just realized the window is open again! will be more than happy with just a left-back but if we can get a that and a winger i'll be over the moon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
