Nobody Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 The only lower league strikers I'd consider are Becchio and Austin. I think. Bellamy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I wanted us to sign Becchio 2 years back. He'd easily be our second best striker. Here's me being right: Having been to Elland Road a few times this season, I think their best prospect is Becchio. Delph is good and we should go for him certainly. As for Beckford, if we're in the championship - yes. although he's a 24 karat c***. In the premiership he absolutely will not cut it, poor natural footballing ability.

tom1988 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Would you touch Gradel? I don't think Leeds would sell him in January, if they don't get promoted then he's a possibility for the summer on the cheap maybe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rosstoon Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I was thinking about a sneaky move for Cameron Jerome to play off Carroll. With his pace he would be class. Also watched Maxi Gradel a few times when on loan at Bournemouth and was a great talent at that level(League 2) He has now proven that he is more than good enough for the Championship so i think time would be right to get him to the PL.

Beezeri Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Valeri Bojinov would be an ideal partner for Carroll to play up front. Only but there is his kinda journey man history despite his young age...could be something with his personality and I think we have some big egos here already Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 f*** no to Vela. Just not good enough. He is not a good striker but definitely a decent forward, would be a very good partner for Carroll. He's playing out of position at Arsenal - in fact he doesn't fit in any position there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadsword Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Anyone heard of a lad called Baco? I think he could be a good foil for Carroll. With Baco up front we would give most teams a stuffing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what little I've seen, I'm confident in saying that he is a greedy, petulant player who struggles with any sort of positional discipline. Really wouldn't have time for him.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news//tm_headline=robbie-keane-come-and-get-me-plea-to-toon%26method=full%26objectid=27907946%26siteid=72703-name_page.html Robbie Keane 'come and get me' plea to Toon Dec 30 2010 by Lee Ryder, Evening Chronicle ROBBIE KEANE is hoping that Newcastle United come calling in the January transfer window to end his Tottenham Hotspur nightmare. Sources close to Keane indicate that the Republic of Ireland star knows his number is up at White Hart Lane after just six Premier League appearances and that he would relish the opportunity to come to St James’ Park and form a potentially explosive partnership with top scorer Andy Carroll. Ironically, Keane was reportedly offered to United as bait earlier this month as they looked to prise away Carroll awau from Tyneside, but both the Geordie and his boss Alan Pardew – who says Spurs are “wasting their time” trying for the Gateshead lad – have made it clear there is no chance of him leaving Toon. The Chronicle revealed on August 27 that 30-year-old Keane was a target of former boss Chris Hughton, but United did not strike a deal with Spurs. However, Keane is hoping that interest will be followed up again next week when the transfer window reopens, even if his £6m price tag may put off several of the clubs targeting the Eire ace. Aston Villa, his former club Wolves and West Ham are all interested in Keane, but the 104-cap Ireland international is waiting to see what unfolds in the next four weeks. A source at White Hart Lane told the Chronicle: “Robbie knows that January is almost certainly likely to result in him leaving Spurs. “He was intrigued by the interest when he was linked with Newcastle last summer and is eagerly waiting to see what happens. “Robbie knows Newcastle is a super club and the thought of playing at a packed St James’ Park in front of 52,000 is appealing to him.” Keane has still managed to find the net three times this season, with two strikes for Ireland in the European Championship qualifiers and a goal against Arsenal in the Carling Cup for Spurs. Meanwhile, as the Chronicle reported last week, a permanent move for Hatem Ben Arfa is understood to be edging closer for United. Pardew made it clear he wanted to keep the French international talisman despite the horrific double leg break he suffered at Manchester City in October. If it was a loan I'd say yes. If it was to buy I can't see it happening. Around £6m for a 30 year old doesn't fit the clubs recruitment profile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Too old to be permanent. Can come and help us for the rest of the season though, np. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
