nufc4eva Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 He still seems very confused as to the part he plays in our transfer system. I certainly am. It's down to one striker now as well. I think we are waiting for an offer for Cabaye and have no money to spend. It is totally confusing how we haven't made an offer at this point in transfer window as we knew a Striker was required last season. I couldn't give a shit if we have 10 internationals at world cup, I care how the players do for us. Not convinced we will sign any players and expect us to finish in mid table, and out of FA cup / league cup in 3rd or 4th round, oh the joys. It is strange how they are looking at getting rid of Perch, Gosling, Harper, Simpson, Williamson, Shola without replacements, never mind an upgrade on them - exception being we probably don't need a Simpson replacement and have offered for a Harper replacement.

Guest Haris Vuckic Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 It's weird how they don't back their manager - either when he's done well (11/12) or when he's done badly (12/13). We nearly got relegated and for some reason we seem to be the only team dormant in the transfer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 You see, many clubs have invested with this bumper tv money, yet we aren't. I don't buy that we did all of our business in January, that was covering for the shortfall this time last year. So what is Ashley doing with this windfall ?

Can I also say I don't think our DOF is very good, just want to throw that out there. I know he signed Messi, Ronaldo and xyz player for nothing from lower league for Luton town but is that enough.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 What would 'backing' Pardew mean, letting him have more say in signings? Or just spending more? And if we do let him have more say, would that be good for the team/club? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is totally confusing how we haven't made an offer at this point in transfer window as we knew a Striker was required last season. Longer we wait the cheaper Bent/Remy might get. That's all we're truly after save for any opportunistic bargains. Probably had a look at the promoted 3 and current teams and with less games assessed we'll be fine to sit in midtable this coming season. Job done.

thenige Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I think we're waiting for the market to develop a bit which kind of makes sense considering some clubs will be more desperate to sell. Likewise as other clubs fill gaps in their squad they're no longer looking at targets we could then make a move for. Reeks a bit of bargain bin and the players who do come in have less time to integrate into the squad but there is still time. On paper our first XI isn't horrendous by any stretch which gives us a tiny bit of leeway. Shame we're ridiculously short in a couple of positions (striker) which undermines the whole squad. So short version, Shola to lead us to a league and cup double. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Newcastle are keeping tabs on Olympiakos ace Rafik Djebbour as Alan Pardew looks to bring in two new strikers this summer. The 29-year-old caught the eye of Toon scouts last season as he bagged an impressive 20 goals in 24 games to finish as the leading goalscorer in Greece. Pardew could now be lining up a bid for the Algerian international, who is available for just £2.25million according to reports, while Marseille are also thought to be interested. Djebbour is under contract with Olympiakos until 2016 after recently penning a new deal, but the Greek side could still struggle to keep hold of him if Newcastle make a bid. Pardew also continues to be linked with a move for Aston Villa's want-away striker Darren Bent and a double swoop could be on the cards in the very near future. http://www.eatsleepsport.com/newcastle-united/pards-turns-to-greece-in-hunt-for-striker-1607650.html#.UeZDjY19T0E Having a quick search of YouTube it would seem his nickname is 'The Terrorist' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 What would backing him properly entail? If you mean allowing Carr ect to bring in more quality players for him, I agree. But if we're talking about allowing Pardew to spend the clubs money on his backward vision for the club then I don't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
