sempuki Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 IF we got him and Thauvin in January we would not have needed much at all in the Summer. Over to Graham Carr to find some inexpensive gems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I wonder who else is on the radar as there's far too many other clubs in for this guy. Can't see it happening at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 He has been described by insiders as “perfect” for Newcastle next season, with the club understood to want to move closer to the 4-3-3 formation which proved successful at the back end of the 2011-12 campaign. Hatem Ben Arfa, who was injured for large chunks of last season, has been earmarked for a major role and Aubameyang would slot into that system as well as any of Newcastle’s targets. Interadesting. The most exciting thing we've heard so far this "summer", as far as setting up the team next season goes. Hope there's some truth to that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 "Newcastle do not expect to make any recruits until next month and are happier to play the long game with Aubameyang, whose representatives are actively touting him around this summer." So many ways to interpret this. 1) We're in no rush 2) Means we can peddle the "we just couldn't get it over the line" malarky. 3) We're gonna sign him, and just hoof it.

Disco Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 @MsiDouglas 11m @LeazesTerrace I find it strange that they've tracked him for 18-24 mnths yet now interest seems to have cooled.Don't want to be dragged in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Don't want to be dragged in? Are we hoping by the end of September nobody will have made a move and we get a free pass at him..? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Didn't realise he used to play for Lille. Wonder if Captain (not so) Fantastic will be asked to tap him up again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I don't quite understand what is going on at the moment. They have known we have needed a striker for months now and have supposedly been lining up replacements and they are now giving the impression that they are just waiting to see who becomes available. I guess they are looking for the bargain rather than primarily recruiting the type of striker we need. They talk all the time about how detailed their recruitment plans are but when the time comes, it just seems like there is no plan at all. I thought their immediate dismissal of Carroll was because they were confident of getting the striker they wanted but it does seem as if there isn't one lined up. Of course they could be deliberately misleading everyone and a completely unexpected player will be signed in the near future. However, because our attacking play was so poor last season, I would have thought it was in their interest to get a striker in ASAP so they can work out a style in pre-season.

Guest reefatoon Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Exactly. He is no longer a bargain and real money would need to be spent to get him. No chance of us doing that.
