merlin Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 So we might be bringing in 1 player and seeing 2 leave? That makes sense when we're complaining about having so many injuries and so many games. Only at Newcastle, also, doesn't Remy have a suspect heart condition? Yes, that sums it up Mick....as for the heart condition, if that is true he'll fit in well - half the club's fans are probably suffering the same ailment after the events of this season. Personally, I am saying nothing about prospective transfers until I see the Press conference introducing the player - there was once a boy that cried 'wolf'...!

sempuki Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I am liking the final paragraph. Would certainly take Remy if Ba leaves which is looking likely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Can anyone tell me a little bit more about Remy playing style wise. Haven't seen much of him despite hearing a lot about him. Does sound like it'll be Marveaux moving on if this happens which would be a shame and seems to indicate that Ba may move on too. Could still see defensive/midfield reinforements happen too though (wet dreams) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I'll be pleased with that, especially if it means we've seen the last of Obertan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Was initially quite excited until reading some of the more informed opinions on here. Sounds like he's a dud who will inhibit our "style" and be lucky to survive until May with his medical condition, Ashley, Pardew, Carr and every other fucker out !

localshop Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Well if Ba is going in January at least we are being proactive this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Newcastle insist that they want Ba to stay and have been attempting to get the Senegalese striker, who has 11 league goals already this season, to agree a new contract removing the clause. Can someone tell me why the hell we haven't offered him this new contract to remove the clause yet? It's one year since this story came out, we apparently risked to lose him (for a ridiculous amount of money) in the last January window as well as in the last summer window...and we're still trying to remove the bloody clause? Bollocks. Someone is not telling the truth, if this clause exists I can't believe that the issue hasn't been sorted out after one year, nor that nobody seriously came in for him knowing about this. His health is not good enough? Bah, football clubs use to risk much more than this, Abramovich splashed 50 millions on a player who had been consistently shit for 2 years, I guess it wouldn't be too daring to spend 7 millions on a more than decent striker like Ba (especially if you're desperate, like Liverpool), even if his health is not guaranteed As far as we know the club has a policy of not renegotiating a deal until a player has been into his current deal for 18 months or so, (i think). They are doing that with Demba now and he doesn't as of yet want to sign, and wont if you ask me. Tiote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 In favour of doing this, especially if we sell Ba. Really don't see why we need to let Marveaux go though, we're lacking creativity in midfield so much and with Jonas getting worse by the game, his time is bound to come if he wants it. Remy-Cissé-Ben Arfa sounds fantastic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 This, right back and a centre back or two and we are back in business. We really need to show this current squad we mean business so the good players at least will stay. Simpson will more than likely leave anyway now, Williamson is championship at best (best keep him in case!) and Jonas needs replacing as well now. With Tiote off in Jan this is essential. Big risk given our position to spend on 4 players, but IMO the risk of not doing it is far greater. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 If we sell Ba then we would need to sign Remy and 1 other. Madness how we never signed a forward in the summer when the backups are Obertan, Ranger and the Ameobis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I see the problem as one of balance rather than numbers. We have four DMs in Tiote, Bigi, Perch and Anita, and no-one who really attacks the box from the centre. Also three centre-forwards in Ba, Cisse and Shola, and no-one with pace and movement who creates from deeper. From what I've seen of Remy, he's just what we need.

Interpolic Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I think it's more that our options are incredibly limited when we want to play a front 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ItalianMagpie Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 It's not always that players coming from another league immediately find themselves comfortable in the EPL: losing Ba and getting this guy in when we are 2 points above relegation and we desperately need points sounds quite a risky move to me. If he struggles we're screwed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
