NUFC transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

He's the only player so far we are being consistently linked to in the press. How is it not worthy of a thread?

 

Ian's new thing is to demand definitive proof of anything negative. It's just another coping device for him.

How that Bent story is WOAT is beyond me.

 

constant persistent links in the press and now thrown out of first team picture its woat

 

He's been frozen out of the first team for months.

 

Anyway, shouldn't have mentioned it, just people's overwhelming desire to whinge is slightly annoying.

You whinging over people whinging certainly helps things.  :lol:

Not as annoying as your constant attempts to firefight everybody's more than justified anguish towards the state of the club and attempt to tell everybody that it will all just be fine and dandy.

 

I've never said anything approaching that.

The negativity on the football board in terms of transfer has swung far past logicality since the appointment of Kinnear. People are up in arms about stories that have nothing to do with us, rumours that have no foundations, the failure to acquire players they haven't heard or seen (and that the club hasn't shown interest in), and want to castrate themselves every time some team spends more then three or four million on a player. It is very annoying.

Annoying? Cutting yourself is preferable to coming on here at the minute.

Baba you eloquent motherfucker :lol:

 

I don't think people's pessimism is unjustified though. I'm sure we'll make some decent signings, probably even some good ones, but Pardew will find a way to make us terrible and Kinnear will make us feel ashamed of our own club.

Newcastle weigh up moves for alternative strike targets

by MILES STARFORTH

 

NEWCASTLE United will have to look elsewhere for a striker this summer – with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang set to join Borussia Dortmund.

 

The 24-year-old is expected to complete a move to last season’s Champions League finalists over the next 24 hours.

 

Aubameyang had been Newcastle’s No1 striking target, and last week he gave United encouragement when he talked about the club’s “passionate” fans in an interview in which he signalled his intention to play in the Premier League.

 

However, United are unwilling to meet the 15m Euro valuation Saint Etienne have placed on the Gabon international.

 

And Dortmund expect a successful conclusion to their talks with Saint-Etienne, with the player himself understood to have travelled to Germany for a medical.

 

Newcastle have other targets, and Aston Villa’s Darren Bent is a player that interests manager Alan Pardew.

 

But the club is unwilling to pay anything more than a nominal fee for the 29-year-old, who would have to take a cut in wages to secure a move to St James’s Park.

 

Bent has reportedly been told he will play no part in Villa’s pre-season, and the club are desperate to offload the former Sunderland player.

 

Other potential target is Marseille’s 27-year-old forward Andre-Pierre Gignac. However, the Stade Velodrome’s valuation of Gignac, reportedly £12m, is considered steep.

 

The player himself is keeping his options open, and it remains to be seen whether United harden their interest in him.

 

Newcastle’s new director of football Joe Kinnear has been involved in talks with other senior figures at the club this week, and the hope was that the club would make an early breakthrough in the transfer window, which opened on Monday.

 

As it is, the only business so far has been outgoing, with Kinnear having sanctioned the departure of James Perch. The utility player should complete his move to Wigan Athletic today after travelling to the North West to undergo a medical.

 

Wigan’s bid for Perch – who has a year left on his St James’s Park contract – is understood to be £700,000.

So in other words we have no transfer plan unless JFK has an ace up his sleeve before Fridays new signed :lol:

 

Neither Gignac or Bent offers the club any value at all, hard to imagine Ashley willing to buy either tbh.
