LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 http://www.thejournal.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-add-right-back-serge-6911520 Newcastle United add right-back Serge Aurier to their summer hit-list Apr 03, 2014 08:54 By Mark Douglas Newcastle United have added a goalkeeper and a right-back to their summer hit-list after it emerged they have run the rule on talented Toulouse right-back Serge Aurier. The 21-year-old has been watched on a number of occasions by United scouts, who will be well aware of the growing interest of Paris-Saint Germain in reuniting Yohan Cabaye and Mathieu Debuchy in Ligue 1 next season. Newcastle do not want to sell Debuchy but interestingly, one of the reasons why a move for the player fell through in the summer of 2012 was because of a perceived lack of sell-on value for the 28-year-old. If PSG are now prepared to double the money that Newcastle spent on the France international, they may be prepared to do business – if a suitable replacement has already been sourced. No doubt that will already add to the sense of unease on Tyneside about a summer rebuilding job which will see most of the squad under scrutiny. The Journal revealed earlier in the week that Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa’s name is one that might be circulated to interested clubs in the summer, while Shola Ameobi is almost certain to leave Newcastle in the summer. Unhappy Steven Taylor’s future is also up in the air, with Steve Bruce keen to take him to Hull City in the summer if Newcastle make him available. His high wages may make him a prohibitive target for the Tigers, though. Interestingly Newcastle have also continued to monitor PSV Eindhoven goalkeeper Jeroen Zoet, who has pushed himself into the reckoning for the Holland squad in recent weeks, and that also raises the possibility of United bringing in competition for Tim Krul – who has had an up-and-down campaign. Intriguingly, United are also aware that Fraser Forster may become available in the summer. The sudden appearances of Mike Ashley at Newcastle games has coincided with the owner delivering reassurances to key men in the United hierarchy that the club will spend this summer to reinvigorate the squad. He has been told that Newcastle need at least six or seven new first-team ready players and that message has been received, although that recruitment is likely to run alongside some high-profile departures. Even during the derided Joe Kinnear days United were maintaining a watching brief in Ligue 1, the Eredivisie and Switzerland’s top flight. Newcastle scouts were spotted at SC Heerenveen’s recent clash with Vitesse Arnhem – a match that saw the division’s top scorer Alfred Finnbogason score his 25th of the campaign. Newcastle have long had an interest in the Iceland international although it remains to be seen whether he will fit the criteria set for United’s summer recruitment drive.

Tisd09 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Can you imagine if we did sign 6 or 7 first team ready players like that article suggests, this place would go into overload. I'm bracing myself for another window of utter frustration and disbelief though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why cant the club implement a footballing philosophy like Swansea and Southampton. Where the director of football, chief scout, manager, and academy all train and play the same brand of football.

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Because at it's highest we are owned by a guy who doesn't have a clue about running a football club, who sadly has been such a success in his business life that he thinks he doesn't need to learn anything about running a football club.

Guest Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 More to do with the fact he isn't owning a football club with a view to making it successful. I'm assuming he still wants to be profitable though. Even if he's still tight, he can get players of a certain style and a manager with a certain mindset on a similar budget to now even. Even if he has no ambition, he could at least try and keep the punters entertained on a matchday. We don't even have that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These end of season games are when you're supposed to play with the handbrake off, not stick the car in reverse and back it off a cliff on to a crowded beach.
