Guest Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 On a 1-2 year deal he'd be ideal. Would get a fair share of appearances, would be hungry to prove himself in his last chance at the highest level...think Sibierski but even better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 not saying you're wrong but i think the club would agree with obafemi sunday's pov...low outlay on a young 'un with potential is much more up their street Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need to do any desperate and offer a 1-2 year contract to a 32 years old player. We have a successful transfer policy in the club and we are signing relative young players and are offering them 4-5 year contracts. That's what we do now. That's why I don't think Klasnic is a realistic transfer target. And I agree everything you are saying about him.. just don't think he's anything for us.

ohmelads Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Said it a year ago that Chung-Young Lee of Bolton would be a great signing. At the time others agreed but believed our status at that time couldn't attract such a promising up and coming talent from a rival Premier League club. A lot has changed since then. He then suffered a broken leg, missed the whole season and Bolton got relegated. We could easily attract him now as they're in the Championship and we're in the Europa. He'd also be available on the cheap and is still relatively young, both of which tie in with the club's recruitment policy of trying to get value for money and resale value. Despite the addition of Marveaux next season, another exciting wide player with end product would be more than welcome, and let's not forget that with the Europa League we need a bigger squad. I think he's a hardworking player with lots of end product who would fit in with our squad nicely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 i'd love Ki Sung-Yueng as well but not sure we could prise him away....think he was voted their player of the year? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 What young striker of any quality though will want to come here to warm the bench? I know our transfer policy has changed but I doubt the likes of Klasnic and Yakubu would be on monumental wages, it's just we're not going to see Geremi, Viduka, Smith, etc style contracts any more. I'd much rather one of the two I mentioned who you know what you'll get for a year or so and spend our money properly on weaker areas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Matt Phillips - Blackpool. Plays wide in a front 3. Quick, tricky, strong, young, stuck in the CCC for another year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 i'd love Ki Sung-Yueng as well but not sure we could prise him away....think he was voted their player of the year? Don't think so. Was pretty good this season though. Obviously I would be happy with either of the two. They would both be almost ideal for us, as Lee's natural position is as an inside forward in the 4-3-3 and Ki is almost ideal in a three man midfield with Cabaye and Tiote. They're also both from my local club and I watched them since they were coming up from the youth team. Seeing them play for Newcastle would be, as I've mentioned numerous times already, a wet dream.

Guest magpie99 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 So, realistically, who is out, who will come in, how much do we have to spend From my point of view, I think the following will happen: OUT: Forster to Celtic - 2 million Simpson to lower/mid table team - 3 million Guthrie - same as Simpson - Free Smith - Leeds? - Free Harper - will retire and coach in the academy Lovenkrands - Rangers/Denmark - Free Ranger - Sheff.Wed.? - 1 million Xisco - Hopefully to Spain - Free That would be 6 million in plus about 200K per week salary savings. Also, I believe Liverpool still have to pay is 5 million to finalise the Carroll transfer this summer so that would bring the total up to 11 million. I doubt Ashley will give us anymore than an additional 10 million to add to that so let us round off the transfer kitty at 20 million pounds. INCOMING Amalifitano from Reims - Free Clyne from Palace - 2 million (set by tribunal) Moses from Wigan - 4 million Douglas from Twente - 4 million Rodriguez from Burnley - 4 million Pieters from PSV - 5 million Young keeper from lower leagues for 1 million The likes of Tavernier, Vuckic, Abeid, Ferguson and Sameobi will play more prominent roles in the senior side next season and Jak Alnwick will be prmoted to the senior squad too. Richardson, Inman and Streete to be loaned out for the season. I do not expect any major players to leave. I dont think PSG want Ba and I feel they are the only team he would leave for. Tiote will refuse to go and Pardew will fight tooth and nail to keep him. So, the squad for next season: Keepers: Krul, Elliott, Alnwick, New Keeper Defence: Clyne, Tavernier, Santon, Raylor, Saylor, Douglas, Williamson, Colocinni, Pieters, Perch Midfield: Obertan, Gosling, Tiote, Abeid, Vuckic, Cabaye, Marveaux, Ferguson, Sameobi, Amalifitano Forwards: Cisse, Ba, Ben Arfa, Moses, Rodriguez, Shola One final point. I notice that Reading have apparently offered 2.5 million today for Matt Phillips. Given the opportunity, I would love to see him at NUFC and sell Obertan for a similar amount back to a team in France Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 The Pieters thing smells like another Maiga situation to me. I reckon we may still use him as a smokescreen but we'll go for someone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Too right. I don't think that 'tactic' - by which i mean a smokescreen - is really in our transfer policy. We seem a bit more ruthless and under the carpet than that. As Carver said on the phone-in, they have a shortlist of players, then tick them off as we fail with one target and move onto the next. It's why i'll always be a bit suspicious of Pardew when he says things like "he was my first choice all along." We wouldn't have signed Maiga and Cisse. Not that i'm complaining.

ponsaelius Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Really don't think that failed medical was completely legit like. Sounds to me like we found out about the possibility of signing Cissé while we were in the process of doing the Maiga deal and pulled out. Beforehand we'd been priced out.
