Disco Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I mean, what audience would they make that up for in their own country. "Let's make up a story that Isla is going to Newcastle for 4 years for $14m." Doesn't make sense. I reckon there's something there. He's one of the biggest names in Chilean football, probably sell papers/generate hits. Despite being neither a FB or RM, he could actually be the sort of defensive winger Pardew would love to have on the flank. An old school damaged goods but come good transfer by us too. Someone else made a good point about Arevalo 4 years back mind, was in the Uruguayan press for a while how he was coming, then there was a quote from his agent saying he was in talks with us but depends on if a move for an Ivorian came in...then a few days later we signed Tiote. Probably would've got more cards than Tiote if he'd come Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Too much money for this regime to fork out for a utility player like. Doubt there's much in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Still think he was Cabaye's original replacement, in the same way we signed Mbiwa thinking Coloccini was off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Isla is far more than a defensive winger IMO. Fantastic going forward. He is a winger/wing-back. If anything he doesn't always defend with discipline. More a forward thinking player, than a defensive one. Though he will certainly put in the work tracking back as needed for sure.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 If the article mentioned Isla signing a 5 or 6 year deal with NUFC I could have believed it. The 4 year deal part of the story makes me doubt it is true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Get Clarence on the blower.. have a word. I honestly think this is just old news and Isla was back up to Janmaat. Hope not though. Would satisfy our needs as far as wingers are concerned. Striker, Deep lying playmaker and CB next.. That said - Wouldn't surprise me to see the CB lowest on the priority list, unless we sell Mapou. Pards is bigging up Streete and Satka, sure he is happy to have them back up Mapou, Colo, Saylor and Iron Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Isla huh? Pardew hallmarks all over this one: Janmaat LB, Haidara RB, Santon RW, Isla LW, Ginger and Tiote CM, Sissoko back to his preferred number 10 role with Riviere lone striker. Solid. Cabella and DeJong off the bench on 75 minutes to rescue a point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Naturally skeptical on whether this is true. Would be great if we kept signing players though, since it gives Pardew less excuse to hide with every new player we get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I'll forever love Carroll for kicking the shite out of Steven Taylor. No price is too high to bring a genuine Geordie hero back to Tyneside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
