NUFC transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

its ok waiting and seeing with regards to a new forward, but when the main reason we are getting one in for the short term is Ba being away, we'd need the body in very sharpish...if we wait til Jan 31st, we'd only be without Ba for another week or so...

 

Erdinc looks a good option, but do you think we will never end up with Ben Arfa behind Ba as a front 2?  HBA has to play in my view, and playing just off Ba could really improve both their games.

 

I'd like to see us getting in another forward player, but not with the idea of covering for Ba's absence. He'll only be gone a month and we should be looking at getting in someone who adds something different to the attacking options in the longer term ie a Bellamy-type who has a lot of pace and energy IMO.

I don't think the main reason we are after a striker is to cover for Ba being at the African Cup of Nations. Lovenkrands' contract ends in the Summer and I doubt he'll be getting a new contract with us. Also, don't forget, the African Cup of Nations is on next year too so well need another striker for then too (assuming Ba is still with us). As for Ben Arfa behind Ba, I think Ba has played best when he plays off another out and out striker. Ba is more of a support striker (who gets all the goals). I'm not convinced Ben Arfa is a 'striker'. He's more of an attacking midfielder.
