Flip Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Think he could have been one of the best english players around today if he had opted to start regularly at a smaller club instead of warming the bench for Chelsea and Man City. I think you are overrating Sinclair anyway, but he hasn't wasted that much time. Just this last season, really. He was an (expensive) youth player at Chelsea and was playing consistently at lower levels throughout his time at that club. It's easy to blame his club history, but I think he is an above average forward player, but ntohing more than that. Very well said Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Newcastletom Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I'd say get him in. The sooner Gutierrez is out of the team the better! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Think we're after another out and out striker i.e. Bent, and then a wide forward i.e. Remy. Bent should hopefully then battle Cisse, and Remy and Gouffran can cover that wide forward role. Gouffran's more competition for Cisse, I think. He's not much good wide left.

Wil Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Here we go.... Newcastle set to buy Jeroen Zoet from PSV Eindhoven to be keeper Krul's understudy 9 Jul 2013 22:30 Holland U21 international will presented to manager Alan Pardew as a done deal by Joe Kinnear and Mike Ashley Newcastle are swooping for PSV Eindhoven keeper Jeroen Zoet in a deal set up by new supremo Joe Kinnear. Holland Under-21 international Zoet, who has spent the last two seasons out on loan at PSV's Dutch rivals RKC Waalwijk, is heading for Tyneside after the clubs thrashed out a £2.5 million fee. The 22-year-old will be understudy for fellow Dutchman Tim Krul, but his arrival may increase the chances of the Geordies' highly-rated number one being sold. The transfer is the idea of Kinnear and owner Mike Ashley - manager Alan Pardew is being handed the shot-stopper as a done deal. Zoet’s imminent capture will raise doubts about the future of Rob Eliot, who stood in for the injured Krul over the final weeks of last season.
