alexf Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 What was it they were rumoured to want £15m? Anyway who the fuck is David Coverdale? Is that like the equivalent of me going on twitter and writing the same thing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/alan-pardew-eager-spend-yohan-6641068 Alan Pardew has revealed that the money picked up from Yohan Cabaye’s sale will be used to plough back into his side. Speaking after Newcastle’s first game without the French international - a 0-0 draw with Norwich - Pardew insisted he wanted new blood. He said “Well I hope so. “I was obviously on the phone to the powers that be, particularly Joe and Mike and Lee Charnley and Graham Carr. “Let’s get moving and see what we can get because we obviously had one or two targets we had earmarked if he went. “We’re chasing those down.” Now Pardew wants to see the money ploughed back into his team. And feels that United should spend the money wisely like they did when Andy Carroll was sold to Liverpool for £35million. He said: “We have to use that money wisely now - like we did with Andy Carroll. “That summer we brought in Yohan and a couple of others that took us forward. “That is how we will have to break into the Champions League and use this money to good effect and make us better.” PS: bit in bold. Are we denying we didn't use it wisely then? because we sure as hell did. Because we didn't use the money before that window was over didn't mean we didn't use it. I was laughing at the journalism tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 If they want £15m for him, just over half that amount is a perfectly good place to start. There's loads of negotiating time left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Already talked up interest in coming here and seems to be available for a reasonable price. Can see Grenier coming tbh. Would be happy with that. We should take the plunge with Cabella though if we can. Yeah we will probably end up buying Charlie Adam for 6m. Joe knows his stuff.

sugoinufc Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Didn´t know where to post my thoughts for our "future" squad - but here it is: Goalkeepers: Krul Elliot RB: Debuchy Yanga Santon LB: Santon Haidara Dummet (loan maybe) CB: Mike Colo Taylor Yanga CM: Tiote Anita Sissoko Bigi Grenier RW: Arfa Sissoko Grenier LW: Gouffran Sammy forward: Cisse De Jong Grenier looks really good from that youtube video, hope we get him for AMC position. Maybe we also should get Cabella. We could use an upgrade on LW - not sure Cabella is suited for that position though? In attack we need 1 or 2 new. Cisse i have no clue about. Also think we could use extra quality in DCM/CM - do not know much about Bigi anymore. Sell: Jonas, Obertan, Marveaux, Shola (no new contract) Maybe keep as squad players: Gosling and R. Taylor Guess we could see some changes in CB. Come beginning of next season i hope Yanga is first choice in central defence. Taylor and Mike good subs. Maybe Colo should be replaced - depends of his dedication! 2-3 signings this window and maybe jonas and shola gone in the summer - then we are not far away from a very nice squad - which i know have been said for some time now. Fingers crossed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
