Guest chopey Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Saylor linked with Palace in the Mail. Hope he's going 2nd class. Would make sense, he's a second-rate defender. Warnock said he wants 4 players by monday, could happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiGeordie Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Graeme Bailey Goal can confirm the defender in Newcastle's sights is Atletico Madrid's Toby Alderweireld and they are hopeful of landing him by Monday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Alderweireld in and fistpumps out would be decent assuming MYM stays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beezeri Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Our defending won't improve no matter how good defenders we bring in as long as Pardew is in charge! We need a new manager ASAP and preferably someone who understand the basic principles of a game called football! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Alderweireld in and fistpumps out would be decent assuming MYM stays. I think it's a safe assumption that he'd be Mbiwa's replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Bailey is not often wrong. On the verge of becoming worthy of a thread maybe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Pardew needs a striker to bail him out otherwise he's completely screwed and that's ignoring the fact that the defence is woeful too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Would that be Colo or Williamson dropped then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Convenient cover at RB too. Getting another CB is only half the solution to our defensive woes though when we can't defend as an unit at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 So much faith in our scouting that we keep loaning to buy. Come on, we've spent the Cabaye & Debuchy money, we need to at least sell a Tiote before we can afford another permanent deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of the rumours of Saylor to Palace. If that happens I can't see them letting MYM go. Colo, MYM and Alderweireld with Willo as backup is an improvement.

buzza Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Not that confident in Alderweild being our solution,from what I've seen of him in Atletico he seems too weak fro the prem and he is not pacy contrary to what some think... would much rather have the celtic player; he's bigger is already ised to the rough and tumble of the SPL and scores a few set piece goals and at 8 million seems a snip...

Chrisjraby Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Would be a good replacement for Taylor, but we're really missing a trick if he's coming here to replace MYM. Would expect nothing less from this club though, provided we actually get it "over the line" in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt Iron Mike will be the one replaced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Alderweireld is a good footballer, but he's a bit weak and not too aggressive. Simeone hasn't used him much. He's also of that weird Belgian centreback stock that seem better going forward than actually defending. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
