Gallowgate Toon Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Signing a winger to play in the centre, whilst keeping Wijnaldum and Sissoko out wide. I don't think either are CMs in this league, tbh. Gini for no. 10 for the rest of the season is a must. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Mental how we're still signing players McClaren has never even heard of, you'd have thought we'd have maybe learnt after the Thauvin disaster. g How do you know McClaren hasn't heard of him?

Teasy Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 5.5 years :lol: He better not be terrible Paedos do less time than that. Some of them just get stuck playing for Sunderland instead, cruel and unusual punishment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Could probably put out a midfield and striker now who have won domestic titles in other countries Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy84 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Someone other than Sissoko who can carry it from A to B in midfield would be nice. Hopefully it's him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20160111/factfile-henri-saivet_2281670_5266745 - Saivet was born in Dakar, the capital city of Senegal, on 26th October, 1980. - He joined the Academy at Bordeaux at the age of 11 and quickly rose through the ranks at the French club. - Saivet became the youngest professional in Bordeaux's history when he signed his first professional deal in 2007. - On the final day of the 2007/08 campaign he made his first team debut, stepping off the substitutes' bench for the final 12 minutes of Bordeaux's 2-2 draw at Lens. - Saivet had to be patient for game time in the seasons that followed, making a handful of appearances, but enjoyed a successful loan spell at Ligue 2 side Angers in the second half of the 2010/11 season. - Returning to Bordeaux, he began to make an impact on the first team squad and was a key part of their Coupe de France triumph in 2013. - Saivet went on to become a key player for Bordeaux and made a total of 178 appearances in all competitions, scoring 23 goals. - Originally a forward or winger, Saivet was converted into a holding central midfielder in recent years and flourished, taking on the captain's armband at Bordeaux. - Saivet represented France at under-16, under-17, under-18 and under-21 level, but switched allegiances to his homeland in 2013, and has won nine senior caps for Senegal to date.

Ryan Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Mental how we're still signing players McClaren has never even heard of, you'd have thought we'd have maybe learnt after the Thauvin disaster. g How do you know McClaren hasn't heard of him? Just with generic quotes like: Newcastle United head coach Steve McClaren said: "Henri is someone the Club have been watching for a while, and he has developed into an excellent player at Bordeaux. "This is someone with a very good mentality, who is a tough player and a winner. Those are key qualities you need in the Premier League and we are looking forward to seeing him pulling on the Newcastle United shirt." and that we've been tracking him for well before McClaren was here. Maybe 'hasn't heard of him' was the wrong phrase but it just seems another deal we could get on the cheap from Carr's list, have no doubt he'd have arrived if Pardew/Carver was still here.

BottledDog Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Signing a winger to play in the centre, whilst keeping Wijnaldum and Sissoko out wide. Sissoko gone shirley? Aye, I think so. Allows us to put Colback out wide. Wide, maybe. Reckon Colback will be moved into The Perez role. Don't think Thauvin will lose his place considering his price tag.
