biggs Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 This tripe as if we only need one player Mike Ashley ready to inject more funds to land new NUFC striker 22 Jun 2013 07:44 Mike Ashley is set to inject extra funds into Newcastle United’s transfer kitty in order to land a new striker Mike Ashley is set to inject extra funds into Newcastle United’s transfer kitty in order to land a new striker. The Chronicle reported last night that Ashley had sanctioned the search to bring in a new centre-forward following consultation with new director of football Joe Kinnear. And next week United will sift through a list of options compiled from chief scout Graham Carr’s treks around the Continent in the last nine months. Ashley is believed to have told Kinnear that he will pull in extra funds that won’t drain United’s current running costs. Despite coming in for some serious flak from supporters, Ashley is keen to make sure United go into the new season in strong shape. Alan Pardew has requested United maintain big names such as Yohan Cabaye, Papiss Cisse and Hatem Ben Arfa – all of whom have been linked with moves away from Tyneside in the last six months. A striker has been a priority for some time for United, but Ashley is thought to be keen to accelerate transfer activity after Kinnear’s arrival. Kinnear, who has spoken of a centre-forward being the main transfer aim all week said: “Mike wants us to be successful He wants us to do something here. “He doesn’t want us to be in the position we were in last season.” Pardew had targeted fallen England international Darren Bent of Aston Villa in his transfer requests to Ashley. But at 29, Newcastle still want value and potential sell-on prospects to remain strong, and Bent would be making his last big move in football with his 30th birthday coming long before the end of the season. Pardew is still keen on Bent though and has to convince his hierarchy that he could get the best out of a player for whom Villa want at least �6million. Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang remains on United’s wish-list and is valued by top clubs at £13million. The St Etienne striker is a sought- after figure, with Borussia Dortmund and AS Roma keen on the player too. Certainly, if Ashley was able to land the signing of the Gabon international it would give fans some hope for the forthcoming season. And it would also give the likes of Cabaye and Ben Arfa a link, both of them admirers of the man who grabbed 19 goals for St Etienne and 14 assists – something goalshy Newcastle were desperate for at stages last season. Kinnear had also said earlier last week: “If we spell it out to Mike that it is a serious situation and we do need a quality striker, I’m pretty sure he will pay up.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 tbf as far as the first team goes that other forward (though not bent) is what we need and i'd be very happy if we went into next season with our current first team and new striker. obviously the squad needs some more depth but if we are just talking first team.

NG32 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 More talk, lets see action and improvement on the pitch. Then and only then will the fans take on board what the hell they are trying to do. The evidence of whats going on internally at the moment appears to the fans as disorganised. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuy_O Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 The article basically going off the quote from Kinnear. Let's hope it's correct - but all last summer we heard of Ashley's revitalised ambition only to bring next to no one in excluding Vurnon Anita.

TRon Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Kinnear had also said earlier last week: “If we spell it out to Mike that it is a serious situation and we do need a quality striker, I’m pretty sure he will pay up.” Especially if it's one picked by a senile twat like you. I'm sure Ashley won't mind coughing up 250k for another Lovenkrands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 That actually sounds about right due to his release clause. Value for money is the only consistent theme when it comes to our transfer policy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
