KaKa Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I'll drop this here just because I can. Apparently we have offers from "lower table" Premier league teams to loan Deulofeu. I have trouble spelling his name majority of time, god help JFK. It's probably Kinnear trying to sign Defoe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so could be some truth to this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 With Pardew's 6 ft 4er comments, and Kinnear's add more 'beef' comments, a striker in this mould really wouldn't surprise me at all. Hey, like plenty have already said, if Pardew is ever going to do anything worthwhile then give him the types he wants. The dreams of Remys and Aubameyangs in exotic 4-3-3s have likely fallen to the way side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 We'd have been better off bidding for Carroll if we're going after him IMO, although obviously he'll be cheaper so I can see why not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuy_O Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Such a baseless rumour that Gignac article. Mention powerful striker who is french and apparently like Shearer then cover the rest of the article with news on a bid we haven't launched on someone else.

Skirge Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Newcastle and Swansea make bids to buy Wilfried Bony from Vitesse Arnhem 25 Jun 2013 22:30 Anzhi are also in the frame for the striker but he's understood to want Prem move PLUS Swans want Vydra on loan Newcastle, Swansea and big-spending Russians Anzhi Makhachkala are in a three-way fight for Vitesse Arnhem striker Wilfried Bony. The Premier League clubs have both made bids for the 24-year-old marksman, who has hit 46 goals in 63 games for the Dutch club and is understood to prefer a move to the Premier League. West Ham also have an interest, but they consider recently-signed Andy Carroll to have been their primary target and are still waiting to find out whether a bid to take Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku on loan has been successful. Newcastle boss Alan Pardew wants reinforcements up front for his Magpies next season, while his counterpart at the Swans, Michael Laudrup, is desperate to take the goal-scoring pressure off Michu. Laudrup has also made a loan bid for Udinese's 21-year-old Czech striker Matej Vydra. The starlet scored 24 goals during his temporary spell at Watford last season to help Gianfranco Zola’s men to the Play-Off Final, and wants to stay in British football. As none of the offers received so far met the Italian club’s valuation - they are said to have rejected an £8m bid from an unnamed Premier League club - they would rather loan him out again. Vydra’s agent, Ondrej Chovanec, claims four Premier League clubs are in the running for the player’s services. Chovanec said: “We agreed that none of the offers (for a permanent transfer) are in the region that would interest Udinese. “They don’t want to sell him for £8m, so they have given us freedom to discuss loan spells with the Premier League clubs that are interested. “At the moment, we have offers from four Premier League clubs - West Brom, West Ham, Swansea and Sunderland. “Udinese don’t want Matej to have to get used to life in a different country, so now it seems likely that he will be playing on in the UK.” http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/transfers-newcastle-swansea-bid-wilfried-1996231?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Is Bony an out-and-out Number 9? or can he play off a front man? Some would say he is the front man but imo he likes to be much more inbolbed in play than just being a target man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of Cisse's link up play last season was terrific, just trying to envisage the best kind of player to compliment him with.

toontownman Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Wow and I thought we were only after one striker.. now we have bid for three! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 From i can gather about Bony is that he's not really a target man but he has the physique which allows him to hold the ball up anyway and he likes to get involved in play i.e. drop deep. I have not seen enough to make a proper judgement but if this all rings true it is someone who would work well alongside Cisse IMO. He sounds more of the Benteke type than the Carroll type from what i understand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
