Robbo Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/newcastle-set-sign-aleksandar-mitrovic-6049214#ICID=sharebar_twitter Aleksandar Mitrovic's family have landed on Tyneside as Newcastle tie up a deal for the Serbian striker . Anderlecht are willing to do business at £12million and club officials are now convincing Mitrovic and relatives that Newcastle is the best place for him. Both Porto and Roma have been pursuing him, but the Steve McClaren era is finally swinging into life as Mitrovic is poised to sign a five-year deal. He will join midfielder Giorginio Wijnaldum – who underwent a medical on Friday – as Toon’s first summer signings. Owner Mike Ashley is pledging to splash around £60m before next season gets underway and the promise of all cash being paid up front should encourage more clubs to do business with Newcastle. Wijnaldum’s fee from PSV Eindhoven was £14.5m - but Newcastle will not stop there with at least three more additions expected in the next month. QPR front-man Charlie Austin remains on the radar with Marseille’s Florian Thauvin. And they are pushing ahead with a move for German defender Antonio Rudiger. They are hopeful the 22-year-old Stuttgart star will choose them over Wolfsburg. They are willing to let Fabricio Coloccini leave, if the right offer comes along. However, there has been a change of heart with goalkeeper Tim Krul, who had looked likely to be sold. They will now offer Krul, 27, a contract extension. Slovenian attacking midfielder Haris Vuckic is likely to leave, with Bolton showing interest. As a new era is ushered in and the club head off on a pre-season trip to America tomorrow, Toon have a manager full of hope that the nightmare of last season’s scrap is now behind them.

nemtizz Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Rudiger is legitimately insane on FIFA. Please sign. Though, he is highly rated, so next to no chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Interesting thing is we are actually getting players on our "a list" unlike previous years. It appears our offers are now more generous funnily enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's as if we have realised you can't buy players with donnay socks, or Ashley was so shit scared of our near relegations that it has jumped him into life and now offering sensible, non-piss taking offers.

Deuce Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Surely we could flog Colo back to Argentina Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Who in Argentina could afford him though? that's the problem, i just think he'll run his contract down and then go to San Lorenzo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 The drop in quality of our central defenders would be quite something. Rudiger to Dummet to Shite. If only there was a complete freak and absolute weirdo amongst our options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 If not this season, and it doesn't bare thinking about really, the three stooges will all be gone by this time next season as their contracts run out, so a complete overhaul is needed in any case. Might as well start now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well start now. Ideally we sign two CBs, but that's unlikely. New CB, new CB, Dummett, Lascelles, Good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Would rather we didn't get rid of Colo. Not going to get much money for him and unless we bring in 3 or 4 new defenders (highly unlikely),we could really do with keeping him. Would prefer to see his name on the team sheet than the two we should be flogging,Willo and Taylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Who in Argentina could afford him though? that's the problem, i just think he'll run his contract down and then go to San Lorenzo. He'd only go back to San Lorenzo is the problem. There has been a raft of former stars going back there of recent. Tevez, Lucho, Aimar, Saviola, Maxi, Gago will all be walking around the league this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggested that both MYM and Gouffran were two peas out the same pod when it came to the description I used. Funnily I slated Pardew and was told in his opinion he was a 'brilliant' coach. That the players loved him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
