LRD Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Can't see us paying £8m for a 27yo centre-back, especially when we already have four. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 http://t.co/IPS76TPITk Mark Douglas @MsiDouglas 3s #nufc make an enquiry about centre-back Stefan Radu (claim Lazio sources). More here: http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-united-express-interest-lazios-7156855 … Di Marzio ( very reliable journalist) said we made a offer for him last night along with Fiorentina so i believe this based on my faith in his reporting I doubt he rejects Fiorentina in favor of us though.

LRD Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Last summer the club came close to securing a free transfer for Brazilian centre-back Douglas before Joe Kinnear decided to cancel the deal because of reservations expressed by Alan Pardew. This part is interesting though. Again, can't see Pardew rejecting a 6'4" defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would wonder why the fuck we are after defenders when we need attacking players and creative players but then I know the answer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 To be fair we do need a CB... Williamson and Taylor are not good enough while Mapou and Colo can not play together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need one but whether the club would sanction another signing while we are doing 'fine' with those we have is another matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likelihood is we won't get the large majority of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 This guy is 6 ft nothing. Makes sense I suppose. We already have a 6 ft centre back that gets shunted out to right back, so why not get another one that can get shunted out to left back. It's all coming together beautifully.
