Punk77 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Never seen this lad play. But from what I read you'll be pretty ecstatic if we get him? Like his versatility. Probably one of the main reasons why we're interested. I'm a positive guy, but I sadly believe that Ba's off if we buy De Jong. Cannot see De Jong wanting to sign for us unless he's a starter....

BeloEmre Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 From May 6th: Twente president Joop Munsterman said: "We want to keep Luuk. He is a vital player if we want to win the championship again next season and when we play in Europe. "We have said that we won't go lower than £12.5 million as a transfer fee. We need a top price for a top player." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tisd09 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Surely a bid for him means that we are likely to see Ba off then? Haven't see much of de Jong but isn't he more suited to the wider attacking role that Ba finished the season playing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I think I can understand a little why people assume that Ba will be away, but look at this way. Cisse Ba -- Ameobi -- Best Xisco -- Adam Campbell Gillead That's a list of the striker's we'll have available this season. Lovenkrands is gone, Best was almost sold in Jan apparently, Vuckic isn't a striker & Xisco has been on perma-loan for several seasons now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially as we seem to be in the business of paying our transfers in one lump sum which would be very attractive for a Eredivisie club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose we should be a bit more confident, we are in Europe we finished 5th, it's not as if de Jong and Ba are in the elite list of strikers. Rotation will be needed next season. Given the speculation and clauses around Demba Ba I'd be surprised if we kept him for next season. It could also be a situation where Pardew sees de Jong as more suited to the wide role so is prepared to lose Ba. Then again, who knows Pardew may go back to the 4-42 next season?

Benwell Lad Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Don't buy into the Ba replacement argument. Ba, may or may not go but I think it's a seperate issue. If the De Jong story is true then I would see him more as a Smith replacement in the grand scheme of things. The Newcastle business plan is more about salary budget versus earnings. Smith,Lovenkrands and other departures, along with increased earnings free it up considerably for new arrivals. The fee itself will not be a huge issue, AS LONG as the owner believes his value will not go down. Arguments about paying a lot for someone who is not a guaranteed starter don't wash either. Should Ba,Cisse and De Jong all be Newcastle players next season the number of matches we will play will ensure all three will get quite enough starts to satisfy them.

Zero Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I am fucking sure if a player which cost 15m didnt play as a starter his value would drop significantly. 15m FFS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Maul Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 FUCK the flat 4-4-2 man, strategically I could maybe understand its sparing use but it didn't suit our players at all IMO. 4-3-3 is the future, two holding midfielders with Debuchy and Santon bombing on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 f*** the flat 4-4-2 man, strategically I could maybe understand its sparing use but it didn't suit our players at all IMO. 4-3-3 is the future, two holding midfielders with Debuchy and Santon bombing on don't necessarily need 2 holding players if you have another cabaye type.
