Stifler Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 2 in, 1 out isn't that weak....arguably it's 2 in and 0 out It would leave us ridiculously short in cover though. If we sold a midfielder we could probably get away with it but if we sell a CB or a forward then we would need to replace them alongside Remy and Bent.

TaylorJ_01 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 But we'd be Shola-less. Just imagine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Shola?, but why? I'm saying if we sell Shola than even with Remy and Bent coming in we would need another forward as we would be weak in cover. I don't know like, Cisse, Gouffran and Shola is very weak. But Cisse, Remy, Gouffran and Bent looks far far stronger (Though I suspect under Pardew it'll be Bent and 3 others unfortunately). . Mainly because Shola adds nothing at all, while as a sub even Bent adds something and Remys a quality forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorin Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Bent wants away because of playing time, no? Is he dumb enough to come here just to sit on the bench alà Shola #2? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J7 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Bent and Remy wouldn't be my first choices, but we need numbers in now. Cisse, Bent, Remy and Gouffran would be a decent set of strikers for the season. Take away one of them and we're short. Shola doesn't count. We defiantly need another right back imo too. Tavernier isn't good enough to cover. Anita can, Santon can and Steven Taylor can at an absolute push, but we need someone to put a bit of pressure on Debuchy. A winger would be good too, but there doesn't seem to be a desire to sign one which is disappointing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Newcastle are keeping tabs on Olympiakos ace Rafik Djebbour as Alan Pardew looks to bring in two new strikers this summer. The 29-year-old caught the eye of Toon scouts last season as he bagged an impressive 20 goals in 24 games to finish as the leading goalscorer in Greece. Pardew could now be lining up a bid for the Algerian international, who is available for just £2.25million according to reports, while Marseille are also thought to be interested. Djebbour is under contract with Olympiakos until 2016 after recently penning a new deal, but the Greek side could still struggle to keep hold of him if Newcastle make a bid. Pardew also continues to be linked with a move for Aston Villa's want-away striker Darren Bent and a double swoop could be on the cards in the very near future. http://www.eatsleepsport.com/newcastle-united/pards-turns-to-greece-in-hunt-for-striker-1607650.html#.UeZDjY19T0E Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 He still seems very confused as to the part he plays in our transfer system. I certainly am. It's down to one striker now as well. I think we are waiting for an offer for Cabaye and have no money to spend. It is totally confusing how we haven't made an offer at this point in transfer window as we knew a Striker was required last season. I couldn't give a shit if we have 10 internationals at world cup, I care how the players do for us. Not convinced we will sign any players and expect us to finish in mid table, and out of FA cup / league cup in 3rd or 4th round, oh the joys. It is strange how they are looking at getting rid of Perch, Gosling, Harper, Simpson, Williamson, Shola without replacements, never mind an upgrade on them - exception being we probably don't need a Simpson replacement and have offered for a Harper replacement.

Guest Haris Vuckic Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 It's weird how they don't back their manager - either when he's done well (11/12) or when he's done badly (12/13). We nearly got relegated and for some reason we seem to be the only team dormant in the transfer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 You see, many clubs have invested with this bumper tv money, yet we aren't. I don't buy that we did all of our business in January, that was covering for the shortfall this time last year. So what is Ashley doing with this windfall ?
