TRon Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I can't decide whether I believe that about 27 being too old to consider. I mean how ludicrous. Then again, he turns 28 in March. Nearly dead tbh. It sounds ludicrous from a football point of view, but Ashley and Llambias aren't football people. All they will look at is there's no chance of getting the £6-7m back if they spend it on Samba. I imagine they would much rather take a punt on a £3m defender aged around 23 then rub their hands in glee if his value rises and they can sell him for £10m.

Sifu Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Confident-sounding link in the Times - we've been offered the chance to sign Marco Andreolli, CB from Chievo, ex-Italian U21 international. Supposedly can cover at full back as well. Any opinions? Great potential, never really fulfilled. Interesting. Would he have what it takes to play in the PL/can he fulfill his talent here?

Benwell Lad Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 The gnashing of teeth at a few meaningless rumours already, means the end of January looks like being excruciating once again. Unfortunately many journalists and especially Sky Sports TV seem to depend on Newcastle drama queens to perpetuate their smoke and mirror reporting. My greatest wish this January (apart from not selling any key players) is that we can resist playing straight into their hands once again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Ryder and Starforth tweeting within minutes of each other that they've been 'reliably informed' the Carroll loan stuff is nonsense. Thanks for clarifying Alan/Derek. The loan rumour was saying that Carroll was open to a loan back to Newcastle so it would appear to have originated from the Liverpool end so obviously NUFC would rubbish it. Unfortunately for Carroll, as much as he may want to return home, he has no influence on such a decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"He's doing very well and I know there are many clubs interested in him," he continued. "We hope he stays with us for a long time." I cannot understand these Ba rumours. Unless he has something written into his contract that he can leave on a free (as he did with West Ham), then why would other clubs be willing to pay a fee because you have the same problems that Stoke had when he failed the medical with them. Another thing I don't get, is the rush in the media to try and move players 6 months after joining a new club. Surely, you need to judge a player over at least a season because quite often, a new player on the scene will have a great first 6 months but after than other clubs have worked out how to play against them and they are less effective for the rest of the season.
