triggs Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Looking at the table, it's three from: - Mackems - Cardiff - Fulham - Norwich - WBA - Swansea Are there any players you would immediately consider worth picking up either to add bodies to the squad or capable of first team football? Swansea Bony Chico Michu Hernandez Routledge Ki WBA Mulumbu Norwich Fer Redmond Fulham Dejagah would be a decent option for the bench Cardiff Medel No Sunderland player apart from Ki who isn't their player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Swansea: Michu, Williams, Ki, Ben Davies West Brom: Amalfitano, Mulumbu Norwich: Redmond Cardiff: Caulker Mackems: Adam Johnson (if only to stop him scoring against us the cunt) Fulham: Bent (if only because we have the tightest git of an owner ever) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Of course the correct answer is absolutely anyone out of contract in 2015 who is of French/African heritage and is under 27. I'd take who Disco took. Especially Redmond. Seems to have been forgotten about but is a real starlet. True. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Snodgrass is a good player but he would be absolutely terrible under Pardew, more so than lots mentioned as he has hardly any pace and isn't that strong. He'd be the new Jonas, lots of effort, but too easy to defend against when there's no movement around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Pardew's Dreamworld Phil Bardsley, Craig Gardner, Seb Larsson, Keiran Richardson, Kenwyne Jones Krul Williamson S. Taylor Bardsley Dummett Gardner Tiote Larsson Richardson Jones Shola Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes23 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Caulker, Amalfitano and Bony would be the standouts for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Cardiff - Caulker, Medel and Marshall (If Krul were to leave) Fulham - Mitroglu maybe if we could get him cheap (unlikely) Norwich - Redmond. WBA - Berahino. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymc1 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Marshall at Cardiff has been excellent this season in goal and would push Krul more than Elliot does. Craig Noone looks a very talented winger but pointless joining here whilst Pardew is here as he would have him playing in the wrong half of the pitch. Steven Caulker would be my number 1 target from Cardiff though. From Swansea I'd take Michu and Bony. The rest haven't really got anyone I'd definitely be after but there's a few players out there who would be decent squad players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Caulker and Dæhli from Cardiff. Michu from Swansea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammys_Tekkers Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 From West Brom I'd take Yacob, Mulumbu, Berahino and Craig Dawson. Ben Foster as well maybe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 How good is Adam Johnson at this stage of his career? I know he's had some criticisms from the mackems in regards to disappearing for large chunks of a game, and though at one point he looked a good talent for Boro/Man City he's clearly not going to be the best player in the Premiership, but in respect to his mackems form I think he has a similar problem to Hatem in that being the only creative player in their side means he gets shut out a bit easier. IIRC he's a boyhood fan of NUFC and played for us for a few years as a kid at some point, which might mean nothing but then again might mean he'd care a tiny bit more about NUFC if playing here as opposed to whoever the alternative options are for wingers (assuming we have any), and it's always nice to have players who are both good footballers and know/understand/support the club and its fanbase. Most importantly, it'd be an interesting prospect having Hatem down one flank (assuming he outlasts Pardews - fingers crossed) and Johnson on the other. Even if he's not perfect he's got to be better than the utter dross we've had on our left flank in the past half decade, and if Sunderland go down it'd be a nice little dig to take their (on paper) best player.

Parsley Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I like Redmond the most out of the names mentioned but have no faith in Pardew being able to use him effectively. He's too similar to Routledge, who Pardew, for whatever reason, just didn't fancy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Mulumbu, Medel or Ki. Williams and Caulker Berahino I'd also take a punt on Hoolahan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'd definitely take Hoolahan. I was disappointed we didn't get him in January in the end. I'd also take James Morrison from Ollbeeyun. He's an underrated player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmonkey Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 "grew up supporting Newcastle" does not = the way he celebrates those goals against us. Think it's only natural to celebrate scoring a goal, especially if its a cracker. Not like Johnson owes NUFC anything or needs to show respect by not celebrating, that's generally only ever done by club legends. Plus, nowhere near as bad as Fenton and Shearer on that night though, and yet the latter is considered amongst the greatest of our club legends.
