Wallace Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 The frustrating thing is that if this form continues into December, any prospective transfer targets will see us as a struggling team and may not fancy the move whereas in the Summer, we would have been viewed as a team with Champions League aspirations.

"We are concerned" is the only part that could be possibly construed that way and even then it makes more sense in context of what follows. Has there been owt actually transmitted from Ashley, like that article says? I've not paid much attention to anything NUFC since the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-want-to-beat-aston-villa-1455844 Pierre pressure: Newcastle want to beat Villa to striker Aubameyang By Dean Jones 24 Nov 2012 23:00 Lambert wants the St Etienne forward as a replacement for Bent while Pardew needs cover for Africa-bound Ba Newcastle aim to beat Aston Villa in the race to sign striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, writes the Sunday People. Sunday People Sport revealed earlier this month that Villa chief Paul Lambert was tracking the highly-rated St Etienne forward as a possible replacement for the out-of-favour Darren Bent. Click here to read more stories from the Sunday People But Toon boss Alan Pardew is desperately keen to strengthen his depleted squad in the January transfer window, and he has the 23-year-old front man in his sights too. Pardew realises he could lose Senegal striker Demba Ba in January, so has been using the club’s strong French scouting network to come up with new options. And Gabon international Aubameyang is the player now being identified as the latest African import who can make an impact at St James’ Park. Versatile attacker Aubameyang can operate as a winger as well as striker and St Etienne will want in the region of £10million for a player who has become their prize asset. The fee will come as a shock to AC Milan as the Italian outfit sold him to St Etienne exactly 12 months ago for a mere £1.5m after previously farming him out on loan to Dijon, Lille and Monaco. Villa won’t give up on him either, as they still expect Bent to leave when the transfer window opens for business. Fulham boss Martin Jol, who signed Bent for £16.5m from Charlton in 2007 during his time at Tottenham, is also lining up a move. England striker Bent, 28, has been stripped of the captaincy under Lambert at Villa Park and was not even in the squad for last night’s match with Arsenal. Here he is playing against Heaton Stannington: http://images.icnetwork.co.uk/upl/nechronical/jul2012/3/6/image-5-for-heaton-stannington-v-gabon-gallery-668987951.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Class player, would love him here. Can't see us spending that much on him though, even if Ba leaves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 He's been getting a lot of hype across Europe this season but i can't say i have ever seen him play. Any decent striker would be good news though, especially one that can play wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 If true, I'm pleased to hear we're after a striker. Our main priority should be to liven up our attack. I hope we're not just looking for 'cover' though. There's little point in that. From my Dennis-style scouting mission, Aubameyang looks good and pacey. Let's hope he's another one of Yohan's friends.

GeordieDazzler Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 My scouting of the two is solely based in my Fifa 13 career. I signed them both and in three seasons they are rated 89 & 88. Sign them up Alan. In all seriousness I've seen PEA a few times and he looks exactally what we need, I think he can play on the left of a front three as well can't he?
