ponsaelius Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 "We don't want to do any business," said Pardew, who took over from sacked Chris Hughton earlier in December. Last week Pardew stressed that young home-grown striker Andy Carroll, now an England player, will not be sold. "Part of my first week or so here has been spent trying to analyse what is the situation with the players we have and to try to secure their positions before we start looking elsewhere," added Pardew. "That's been my main focus, rather than looking at other players who could raise the level here." Nobody in either then? Guess he didn't bang down the door hard enough.

Colocho Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Gameiro has told Lorient he wants to leave. Absolutely must go for him - could be excellent alongside Carroll. Sell Best, Smith, Perch to cover some of his fee + wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 So much for Pardew's "don't worry, i'm the sort of manager who'll bang down the Chairman's door - I GOT DEEN ASHTON LYK!!". Maybe he's sussed Ashley and Llambias already? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Blatently just saying no exits, can't believe people are getting their knickers in a twist. All talk anyway.. Blatently selling the likes of Best, Xisco and Perch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 If they don't screw it up Belgium should be fun to watch in the upcoming WCs/Euros. I'd imagine there's a chance of screwing it up again. They can never get a settled side, and the young players all have ridiculous egos. Always the mild chance the country will split in two n all.

Colocho Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Samba could replace campbell for me. Another option Again? Samba has said he wants to leave Blackburn because they have shite owners. Mike Ashley, Derek Llambias? On another note, how about Felipe Caicedo? Strong, tall, fast, can play as a striker/winger - 7 goals in 12 appearances for Levante so far this season.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Aye, then there's these quotes from Pardew saying he'd like a couple to bolster what we have. Who bloody knows? He mentions the possibility of bringing in 1 or 2 players. They could even just be squad players he says: - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/9313486.stm I'm not too worried. In the Summer NUFC said it wouldn't be spending any money but we got Ben Arfa on loan (with a £5m buy clause), Tiote for £3.5m, Perch was £1m and Gosling and Campbell for free. We would never have "discovered" the likes of Carroll if it wasn't for NUFC's recent belt tightening ways. We'd have wanted to buy new strikers to replace Owen, Martins and Viduka. It gives the likes of Ranger a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmelads Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 You don't go out of your way to bring a new man in on a 5 year deal midway through the season and then give him nothing to spend. Although, this is Mike Ashley's regime. Whatever Pardew says in the press is irrelevant to what goes on behind the scenes, we've found that with everyone who has worked under Ashley because they often don't know themselves what's going on. I think we can all agree on what needs to happen both long and short term. Long term we need to the failures out of the club and replace them: Smith, Xisco, Best. You can add to that list the likes of: Lovenkrands, Ryan Taylor, Perch, maybe Guthrie too. In the short term, we'll be lucky to shift any and should look towards strengthening our first team options with bigger changes happening in summer. We badly lack quality up front if Carroll gets injured, and we only have two fit wingers, so it's obvious those are the urgent priorities. I'll be disappointed if neither position is strengthened over the coming weeks because we are one or two injuries away from a severely weakened team as we saw at West Brom. The club will argue Gosling and Ben Arfa will return but it's still not enough because our other backup as mentioned earlier is mostly dead wood which we will eventually look to sell.

ponsaelius Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Be right waste of time/money if we bring in some no marks for the bench. May aswell sign nobody if we're not going to improve the first XI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
