Yorkie Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Not surprised they're out looking for a replacement for Soderberg. Must not rate Alnwick? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Alnwick's still only a young-un, Harper will probably be away at the end of the season and we need someone to provide competition for Krul and also Elliot in the sub goalie slot. Makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Those of you who've seen him: What should we expect from Alnwick? Is he any decent? On another note: seems as if Freddie Woodman is first choice in England squads that he shouldn't even be included in looking at his age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-transfer-gossip-jeroen-zoet-1380511 He's a keeper! Newcastle send top scout and goalies coach to watch prospect Graham Carr and Andy Woodman spent Monday night in the Netherlands running the rule over PSV Eindhoven's Dutch U21 international Jeroen Zoet Newcastle are trying to land Dutch goalkeeping Jeroen Zoet - after sending a delegation to watch him in action. Toon's talent-spotting super-spy Graham Carr and goalkeeping coach Andy Woodman flew out to see the 6ft 3in shot-stopper play for his country's Under-21s against their Slovakian counterparts on Monday. Zoet, 21, is a PSV Eindhoven player, but is currently on loan at RKC Waalwijk. He could be snatched in a bargain deal as potential cover for - and eventually, as competition for - currently-injured number one Tim Krul. Veteran Steve Harper has been filling Krul's gloves since he picked up an elbow injury, but Newcastle want a younger reserve, too. Zoet kept a clean sheet in the game in Rotterdam, as the Dutch completed a 4-0 aggregate win to qualify for next summer's European U21 Championship in Israel. Much too highly rated/hyped over here to be a serious option for our bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rob 1988 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Napoli and Newcastle to do battle for Arsenal ace http://forzaitalianfootball.com/2012/10/napoli-and-newcastle-to-do-battle-for-arsenal-ace/ Although it was reported last week Napoli were interested in Arsenal’s Johan Djourou, according to Calciomercato, Newcastle United are also keen on the player. Roma too had been linked with a move for the Swiss international during the summer but opted instead to bring in Leandro Castan. The 25-year-old would add more cover to Napoli’s defence after the arrival of Alessandro Gamberini and Bruno Uvini in the summer transfer window. He has fallen out of favour at Arsenal and has been an unused substitute in every one of their Premier League games this season and has started only once, in their League Cup win over Coventry City.

TherealnorthernTOON Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Tbf, allways thought Djorou had potential, and have been playing rather well at times. Maybe Pards can extract that extra out of him here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TherealnorthernTOON Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Djourou is awful, man. Tbf, he wouldn't be the worst 4th choice centreback, and challenging Williamson I think he'll more then do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 If we sign a centre back I would want it to be a partner for Colo, not another squad player. Djourou isn't bad though imo, just not good enough to be a step up from Saylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Wouldn't describe him as a beast. Always looked paradoxically weak/unassertive for a 6 foot 4 inch African plus he gets injured more than Steven Taylor. Bit prone to Bramble lapses of concentration too. I think he's a competent PL defender and an upgrade on our backup options but we could really do without another injury prone centre back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
