henke Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 That's the thing. Under Freddie Shepherd we could sign players who didn't want to play for us by throwing money at them, now we can't even do that. Mind we won fuck all back then either.

Village Idiot Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Imagine signing for us right now. How ill advised can you be? Shopping window. You sold a player to Chelsea last window and are about to sell another to Arsenal. It's not too bad if managed well; Spurs have thrived on it.

You sold a player to Chelsea last window and are about to sell another to Arsenal. It's not too bad if managed well; Spurs have thrived on it. Both players excelled and gained reputation before Pardew's reign imploded and Kinnear got involved. Welcome to Newcastle United. We play s*** football, pay below average-wages, have no ambition, employ dinosaurs and our fans are turning on the club. Dreamland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 thauvin. i'm surprised no club has came in with the idea of signing him then loaning him to OM for a season. he grows up a bit in france, gets more experience and has another year to impress (increase in value). probably not an idea for us but sounds right up chelsea's street.

Guest chopey Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Why we dont we go for Adebayor or Defoe is beyond me Signing Defoe would probably keep Pardew in his job, asking Ashley and Kinnear to sign a player with no re-sale value might just get him out of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Basically given how we play, we're crying out for a striker that can hold up the ball and win headers. Unless Pardew goes, any other kind of striker wouldn't make a massive amount of difference. Defoe is not that kind of striker. I'd rather we went for Rickie Lambert if we were going to sign an English striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's by no means the perfect solution but he's a technically good footballer with a brain. He's the first striker we've had in a while that can score goals and play a bit as well.

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Honestly think we are missing a striker who can link the midfield and create more than we are one that can hold the ball up. But those types are expensive and Ashley won't pay the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
