Kanji Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Removed what I originally wrote b/c it made no sense. The state our club that we'd sign Lacazette for that sum, but balk at signing someone like Abdennour, Matip, Alderweireld at CB, or bringing back Cabaye to play CM...frustrating as fuck. Coming from someone who rates the striker heavily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Now if it was him and day Shelvey and we got them both then we might be onto something, well enough to stay in the division, and I do hope Mike manages to stay on the gravy train.

henke Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 What's the craic with Lacazette, is he under performing this season? Why would he come now when we've been linked for the past God knows how many windows and nothings came of it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Still got 6 goals in 15 games so far so still doing ok, just far from the insane numbers he was getting the season before (27 goals in 33 games) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Only seen him in CL highlights this year but smacked of a player who wanted to leave but didn't get his wish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 He's got a howitzer of a shot too, can absolutely strike the hell out of the ball, good dribbler and pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Maybe he's the Remy alternative then if that's not happening for whatever reason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JToon7 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I think one of the main reasons he's been struggling for form this year is Fekir's injury (torn ACL) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I think one of the main reasons he's been struggling for form this year is Fekir's injury (torn ACL) I know I'm a child but i'd have Fekirs name on my shirt. Reminds me of a basketball player from years ago called Gregor Fucka. Always wanted his shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 We are already losing time and we haven't factored in the "settling period". Going to be a long few months. If we go down in may there won't be tears, just rage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Got to love UK media. Star claiming Pardew wants Austin, Remy & Shelvey just so they can make a page of it being us vs him Also claiming Pardew wanted Shelvey when he was here but was overruled....

andyman Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I like Obertan, but wasn't he the only player Pardew was responsible for bringing to the club? I mean, come on. You can't trust a man after something like that. I'd overrule the shit out of Pardew too if I had the chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The point was i doubt Pardew did want him considering his attention was on Bent and that other midfielder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Got to love UK media. Star claiming Pardew wants Austin, Remy & Shelvey just so they can make a page of it being us vs him Also claiming Pardew wanted Shelvey when he was here but was overruled.... I think that is going to be a common theme for the foreseeable future - the London media will be desperate for stories of Pardew constantly getting one over us. Pretty certain that Pardew did want Shelvey when he was here - I am sure he was linked with us on numerous occasions. Probably one of those situations where Pardew was privately briefing the media of the players he wanted but which he was never going to be allowed to sign.

Wallace Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 If there is any truth in the Lacazette bid, I wonder how long we will wait before moving onto other targets given that the player doesn't want to come here. However, I would expect that if Lyon indicate they are inclined to accept the bid then other clubs will get involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he did then it didnt hit the papers according to .com's rumours pages in May/June/July 2013 when he went to Swansea. Plus that was the summer we got Remy and did fuck all else so doubt Pardew would have been bothering to peddle his filth at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Boy Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 When the fuck is Pardew going to come in for Obertan and Colback? I would think Liverpool's defensive injuries combined with Klopp's obvious links mean we have less than zero chance of any defenders from the Bundesliga like Matip now.

Nobody Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Imagine, him up front while we have Elliot, Colback and Coloccini in the team and our LB options are Dummett and Haidara. Balanced squad Lacazette would be an amazing signing mind, not that I can see it happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle chiefs have made it clear this area is the last area they are concerned about at the moment. In short they have too many defenders on the payroll.

Wallace Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/football/newcastle/14182970.Why_Mike_Ashley_s_transfer_policy_means_Newcastle_United_will_not_be_re_signing_Loic_Remy/? This article is saying that Ashley won't sanction loan deals unless there is the option to buy because it is wasted money. I think that is rather short-sighted - surely if there is an option to sign a good player on loan - maybe one who needs game time ahead of the Euros, it would potentially save the club millions in the long run. This club never seems to look at the bigger picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
