Cajun Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Really depends on Cisse finding his form again, that said even if he does if he gets injured we are technically a team of attacking midfielders. Rings a bell. Problem is our attacking midfielders are a little short in the goalscoring department compared to that Leonard Messy fella. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I'm starting to wonder whether there's any truth to these Van Wolfswinkel rumors not only have 2 papers in Portugal reported on it but Voetbal International are claiming we have interest too..... http://www.vi.nl/nieuws/234644/International-Van-Wolfswinkel-in-beeld-bij-diverse-clubs.htm I think it's unlikely but also not unrealistic. The prices for players in January might be less expensive than the Summer when no doubt they will be inflated because of the new TV deal. Gouffran is more of a replacement for Best/Lovenkrands meaning Ba has still not been replaced. Whether MA agrees with this or opens his wallet yet again is another matter. If the price is right I could see this happening, we scouted him a lot before his move to Portugal. I am sure we are also looking at doing the same with Aubemayeng though who would surely be the preference for his versatility. Obviously we wont get rid of Shola. But we need four decent strikers.. Cisse, Gouffran and two more makes sense for next September. Campbell wont be ready. Ranger and Xisco are done, really you would hope Shola would be too. RVW and Cisse can play similar roles but might also work together, Aubemayeng and Gouffran could fit into the side in several different places. So we would be nicely covered.

Tooj Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I'd happily wait until the summer if it meant we could bring Aubameyang in. I'd much rather we went for him than Van Wolfswinkel, as signing the latter will just give us the exact same problems as when Ba was here. Whereas if we sign Aubameyang he is able to play anywhere along the front line and is blessed with an abundance of pace and skill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Voetbal international are reporting that Norwich have offered 6 million euros for Van Wolfswinkel, which has been rejected. Sporting want 13 million. Sporting paid 5,4 million euros when they got him from Utrecht in the summer of 2011. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Norwich do need some players mind - they've only got 1 point from their last 6 games (against us of course!) and got royally spanked last time out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tisd09 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 The only thing I can think of is that he is trying to get at teams that have played us twice will benefit because they have played against pretty much a different Newcastle team to say what Villa will be facing next week?

ExiledGeordie Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Is he saying we've gained an unfair advantage by signing players in the transfer window?? That somehow it's unfair on the teams who we've played twice because that means the outcome against the teams we haven't played twice could be vastly different??? :lol: What a fucking moaning griping idiot. What's to stop them scouting players and strengthening in the window. They've got bucket loads of cash and he's French ffs if he's talking about our French targets. Mbiwa and Sissoko seem like they're exactly what Arsenal need so why didn't they go after them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye looks like he is miffed as the side he played is gonner be wholly different, and our last game is arsenal at home, which could be the difference of his side qualifying for CL. Unlucky Wenger.
