NUFC transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

I think we'll sign 3/4 players, just because Pardew seems to have played the "lack of backing" card so well the club seem to believe it. I think we'll see a striker, a winger and a defender come in, possibly more if we sell someone.

 

Yep, then he can blow his own trumpet.

I think Matuidi captained PSG on a number of occasions this season, absolute pisstake in other words. Also, not at all what we need however good he is (because he is brilliant).

 

I think we'll bid for Ashley Williams, Andy Carroll, Andreas Weimann, Aubameyang and Gameiro.

Wayne Bridge, Carlton Cole, Nicky Shorey, and Clint Hill. Get it done.

Makes sense from a positional POV. We do need another hard-tackling DM to join Jonas and Tiote in central midfield.

 

We do need another DM IMO if we are going 4-3-3.

 

Tiote isn't good enough and Pardew doesn't seem to trust Anita.

 

But there is no chance of Matuidi what so ever.... More chance of me moving out to Miami and getting a mansion in south beach tbh.

We dont need a tough tackling anything, you simply aren't allowed to tackle anymore. Get a player in who's comfortable on the ball, and when needed can put his foot in. A Huddlestone type imo.

Well i agree there's certain physical beasts like Matuidi who have ability and immaculate positioning to go with the tackling.

 

Not that it would happen but if someone like that came available i wouldn't turn my nose up at it.

Very true, a player capable at both/all kinds of play would be great. But Pardew' attitude of having a tackle in there is so outdated nowadays. Well the way the games are ref'd theses day anyway.

Lacks required mobility. Nice eye for a pass though.

You mean someone like Anita?

Not tall enough to get on the Blackpool Big One thus unlikely to start for us :lol:

Agree, but I'm only expecting one or two genuine first teamers because of the January spend.

Tbh with our lack of movement Huddlestone would fit in perfectly :lol:

Yep, Sissoko and Gouffran are essentially summer signings brought forward apparently, even though we could have done with them last summer. Looking at it possitively, the January players have half a season under their belt now so should be able to hit the ground running.

Newcastle intend to try again for striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Rated at around £12m & #NUFC failed in a bid to sign him in January.

Two Echo stories from the last week, both mentioning Wilfried Bony as a target along with Aubameyang.

 

I know we've got a lot of members here who follow Dutch football closely, so they would know much more than me, but I've always been incredibly impressed by Bony on the occasions I've seen him. Think he would be absolutely perfect, physical lad - not the tallest but has every other quality you could want. Wants to come to England, fits our profile at 24, I'd be delighted if there was something in that link.

£12 million would be an absolute steal. I just don't see him being interested in coming here.

Well, I was being facetious. We really don't need another DM, no matter the formation. No need to give Pards further incentive to play a 3-DM central midfield.

 

IMO, filling gaps should take priority over upgrading.
