heymanhooman Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I should have realised you have to be pretty quick off the mark with something like that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Newcastle United do not have to spend a fortune to improve first-team squad (...) Fabrizio Miccoli (Palermo) Over 100 goals in Serie A should make anyone ignore the fact he’s just out of his twenties. He has played a lot of his football on the left side of a 4-3-3, rather than as an out-and-out striker, which certainly goes in his favour. Miccoli has been capped 10 times and won’t be well known in the UK, but has 190 goals with the likes of Juventus, Fiorentina and Benfica. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-not-spend-fortune-3815983 Great player. Would tear apart most Premier League defenses. We lacked the funds to buy him at the time (high wages I guess) so he ended up returning to Italy. Fast, skilled, accurate right foot... very underrated. Scored a 40 yards volley some moths ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Martinez confirms Antolin Alcaraz, Maynor Figueroa, Franco Di Santo and Ronnie Stam all leaving on frees. Anything to pick off here? Stam/Figuero - A 4th full back to allow the likes of Tav to have a full season on loan? Alcaraz - Any better than Williamson? Di Santo - Better than Shola?

Ginola Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 From those I'd probably take Figueroa for a back up full back and possibly Alcaraz as long as he wasn't the only CB we were signing (if Colo leaves) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Di Santo is definitely better than Shola, but we should be aiming higher Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Could say pretty much the same about all 4 of those. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Di Santo is definitely better than Shola, but we should be aiming higher Was thinking more as a basic squad player. We need a quality forward and winger/wide forward but for depth we could do with another body so someone cheap but with a bit of experience would be handy. Just seen his goalscoring record, not the most prolific bless him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seen his goalscoring record, not the most prolific bless him I would prefer to give someone like Campbell the chance to be that fallback option and get some playing time to see what he's made of (unless we're loaning him out) rather than a direct replacement for Shola. Don't see the point in experience if it is proven to be ultimately not good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Fair point. Would love to see a few of our youngsters get full season loans next season though. Tavernier is older than Haidara and only a few months younger than Santon for example. Would be great to have a squad deep enough to try and get the likes of Sammy, Ferguson, Tavernier, Good, Campbell, Bigiramana, Inman, Dummett etc.. 30-40 games. Some of them are getting on a bit now for the level/experience they currently have so they need make or break seasons imo. You look at teams like Spurs/Arsenal and they seem to have loads of players out on loan every season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomlkier Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Wonder if we'll replace Simpson or just rely on Santon for RB cover. Would like to see us go for Corchia or Aurier if a champions league club doesn't pick them up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
