Dave Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hope this is us finally building a squad and we're not about to lose Dave. I wouldn't have thought so. We have less cover at LB than at CB. We were also trying to buy a LB in the summer (Pieters). I really hope that's the case. Maybe Mick Lowes was right... I still think we need a LB, no need to blow the bank but makes sense to be looking. I could make a case for us needing a player in almost every position. well yes but Santon gets injured then LB becomes a real issue.. Priority is striker & CB after that LB should be looked at. do you re3ally think we should just say "look, until we get a striker in we aren't even going to contemplate anything else squad wise", can we not carry on more than one negotiation at the same time ?

I still think we need a LB, no need to blow the bank but makes sense to be looking. I could make a case for us needing a player in almost every position. I think I'm satisfied in terms of goalkeepers and in the midfield, but the defence and striker situation is stinking: Debuchy S. Taylor Coloccini Santon > Simpson Williamson Perch R. Taylor Cisse > Shola > Ranger Pretty much how I see it but would like a wide midfielder-cum-forward too. Will need a GK in the summer too. Those options above though man, dear me.

Ash Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 @mattspiro: Toulouse confirm Moussa Sissoko can leave for €3.5m (contract up in summer). Hasn't lived up to 'new Essien' tag, but that's a real bargain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 http://www.le10sport.com/football/france/mercato/exclu-legrand-trois-clubs-anglais-et-un-club-francais-pour-isimat-87541?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=le10sport Tracked by several clubs, Nicolas Isimat-Mirin, however, should remain in Valenciennes until June. This is what we said Jean-Raymond Legrand on Thursday: " Unless an exceptional offer, he will not leave this winter and stay with us at least until June. " Liverpool, Newcastle, Paris ... But the president of Valenciennes does not exclude as a transfer: " We still look at what we offer. Including offers that include a six-month loan. Are discussed with several clubs. I have three English clubs and a French club discussing in this context , "he says. As Le 10 Sport revealed in recent weeks, Newcastle and Liverpool have targeted the defender of Valenciennes. Interest of PSG was also discussed recently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask the manager. ask the club management instead. Well according to Pardew we might not be able to afford a defender because we don't know how much we'll spend on a striker. Sounds about right for a change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brazilianbob Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 @mattspiro: #NUFC haggling with managerless Nancy over €4m-rated left-back Massadio Haidara (20). Great name, good prospect. Should get him for €3m Tbh as i said Santon needs some competition but its not really a priority position for this window Perhaps, but I reckon Parsnip will play Bong at LB, Santon at RB, and Debuchy at CB!!!!

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Aye i would definitely buy a LB in the summer.... Santon > Raylor > Ferguson = I'm just not confident in the board in getting the priorities in, if we sign a forward and CB in addition to a LB then fine but i highly doubt we will.

QBG Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Haidara for 3m would be an excellent signing, one of the best young players in France without a shadow of a doubt. Sissoko for 3.5m would be great business too. Bong... meh, he's decent, but wouldn't add anything special imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
