Mick Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 So he put this money in to his own pocket? A bit dated but: "In relation to recent media speculation following the statement made by the Club on May 9, Newcastle United would like to make it clear that owner Mike Ashley is not looking for his interest free loan to be repaid, or to take any money out of the Club."

Captain Underpants Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Absolutely, I certainly wouldn't be letting Perch go. He's the quintessential utility cover player - the sort of player a top-half Premier League squad needs. He's totally limited but he's a million miles from s***. We won't be signing any more defenders if Coloccini stays so I really can't see why we'd entertain shipping him out. Pardew seems fairly fond of him too, given the amount of times he played in the absence of numerous injured first-teamers. Digressing slightly, I saw Disco (I think) mention that we need a new creative CM. That's the last position I'd be looking to fill out, even if someone like Gosling goes. In Sissoko, Cabaye, Anita, Tiote (plus Bigi and Vuckic) (plus plus Jonas, Marveaux and Perch) - we've got a very tidy selection of players there. I'd only be looking to seriously invest if one of the main ones left and we were looking to change the approach. Playing them in the right roles would be a start, like. Sissoko needs to be one of the deepest players in the front six. Aye, twas me. Only one of those you've mentioned is a creative CM (Marveaux) and he can't seem to hack/or be trusted to hack the rigours of constant football. I guess Cabaye could play there if needed but I'd be surprised if he was. To elborate I essentially want a wildcard player that can change games by himself, a Ben Arfa mk II if you wish - albeit probably not as good. This is only applicable if we're playing 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 or whatnot though. Valbuena maybe? Has been saying he would like a move to the Premier League and would probably be a good fit. Maybe out of our price range though.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 If as Caulkin says we will only get 1 or 2 players, it proves the club has learnt absolutely fuck all.

Cajun Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 If we didn't get rid of anyone worthwhile (including Colo) and just signed a quality wide player and forward I don't think I would be that fussed tbh. Krul, Santon, Haidara, Debuchy, Saylor, Colo, MYM, Debuchy, Cabaye, Tiote, Sissoko, Marveaux, Anita, Ben Arfa, Gouffran, Cisse, New wide player, new CF. That is 18 players who should be good enough to be 1st team starters. Elliott, Perch and Bigi I have no concerns about, maybe even Jonas in a more central position, so it's the likes of Ferguson, Sammy, Tavernier, Campbell, Obertan, Shola Dummett, Good, Inman, Vuckic, Gosling, Abeid etc.. filling in very occasionally. The first 4 it would actually be quite promising to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 The money he is taking out is paying back the interest free loan, well loan is the wrong term i suppose. It was the club debt that he found when he took over and he payed off with his own money. And he only did that because the fuckwit didn't do due diligence anyway. Now if he really did want to show he really is committed long term he would write that debt off. He wont of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
