Newcastle United transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

There's something a bit bullshitty about this constant Rolan link.  We were linked with him quite a few times while Carr was here and nothing materialised, i can't see Rafa thinking he's the type of player we need, especially now Carr has gone.  Could be his agent feeding rumours to the press to try and drum up some Premier League interest in his guy?

 

I always thought this about Gayle. He was constantly linked through pardew's time here and then Rafa signed him.

 

Gayle was constantly linked?!

There will be a reason as to why none of the other 'top clubs' have gone in for him. I've heard he is a proper radge-packet as well.

 

We might not be able to be picky.

Always thought Wilshere was a bit of a nothing player really. Technically decent without any real cutting edge and a bit lightweight. I'll be surprised if Rafa wants him.

"But Clement and Swansea could face competition from West Ham United, who Wilshere is open to joining, and Newcastle United."

 

Just seems like we are tagged onto the rumours for any mid-range player now.

Rafa will be picky when it comes to character.

Ashley Young? Would certainly be an instant albeit very short term upgrade on Gouffran. Would fit the type of character and hard working player Rafa likes.

 

Think his best days are far past though. Even for a year might be a risk. His professionalism and experience might be good to have in the squad. Especially a squad of young wingers.

I always feel it's a case of "Newcastle have a lot of fans, just add them for more clicks".

I would say the complete opposite of that. Tries to do the spectacular too often. Definitely not lightweight

How's that the opposite of what I said?

Wilshere was bossing Barcelona's midfield as a 19 year old. Injuries have killed him and he should be avoided.

 

He was not shite though. Calling him shite is like saying Alex Pato was shite as a 19 year old for Milan.

Would rather we spent that kind of money on McCarthy than Wilshire.

 

Really? Surprised by that, I always thought that Wilshire was a cut above players like McCarthy (when fit).

 

Do they play the same role? McCarthy as far as I know is someone who specialises in breaking up play and would be seen as the midfield enforcer. Not really sure what Wilshere is.

Will be extremely surprised if Wilshere doesn't end up at West Ham if he moves permanently from Arsenal.

 

As for his attitude, he's certainly no more of a bellend than Shelvey in fairness and think given our current stature we'd be crazy not to take him assuming he'd fit into the system Rafa wants to play next season.

I doubt Wenger would have persisted with him for so long if he had an attitude problem, becomes he comes across as right charver off the pitch doesn't mean he has an attitude problem.

 

We should obviously steer clear, but that isn't the reason.
