PCW1983 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 yeah your prob right, what ever happens we need someone, id loved to have got Campbell to play alongside Taylor, the experience alone would be invaluable to him, in sayin that if he came to us he would have prob had a break down by now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 The fact he's saying loans are an option leads me to believe his top targets are just about out of the question price wise until the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 After watching Ferdinand today i'd happily take him here. It takes alot to pull on a black and white shirt especially as a defender and i believe he has the arrogance to handle the pressure. As well as this he is a defender who can play football and head the ball. He's also played along side Stevie Taylor for england u21s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I've sort of lost track over the last few days. What's the story if there is one with Lauren? Why the fuck is he at Portsmouth FFS? Did we bid for him? Diop aswell, a great player let go cheap that we yet again miss out on. Just fucks me off to see lesser clubs get signable players that would no doubt improve our team when we're still signing and basically squad-less!!

madras Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 How come other clubs can tie up deals quickly and NUFC cannot? Young announced yesterday that a fee was agreed and today he had verbally agreed to join. pretty sure we could tie up someone like him at £9.6mill....would you want us to though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest goal! Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 When listening to the Birmingham game on Century the commentator (can't remember his name) mentioned that Lauren's representatives had offered him to Roeder, but that Roeder wasn't interested as he was concentrating on other arears of the pitch :'( Then to better that Moncur responded saying you don't need to spend big money on defenders and we can rely on the youth players :lol: shocked me more than the result that night! And to think Lauren and Neill have moved to no better clubs than us within the past few days and they've probably cost a total of about £2.5m tops... Then there's Campbell and Woodgate we could have got back in the summer for a small fee if we hadn't pissed about (albeit the latter on loan). Improving the defence with a better LB, RB & CB should have been the MAIN priority this transfer window and in that order too, then after that is sorted a striker on loan/ for short term cover. Re. Upson/Davies/Ferdinand, I'd sooner see us play Taylor with either Edgar/Huntington and then Bramble/Moore (when they're fit again) at the back for this season and spend that £6m+ on one of Bale, Heinze(very unlikely I admit), Baines or Bridge!

oldtype Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I've pretty much let go of any sort of big hopes for this transfer window. I'm willing to live with Taylor/Huntington -> Taylor/Bramble in the center for this year. I'm willing to just keep praying every game that Martins doesn't get hurt, ending our season right then and there. Just PLEASE, PLEASE tell me that we won't have to be playing a center back, a right back, a left winger, or (the worst of 'em all) Babayaro in left-back position come february.

Guest NUFC4 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 getting anton ferdinand in during this window would be a fantastic signing. he's young, brave and as mentioned before has the arrogance and ego to perform for newcastle fans that will tear into him for little mistakes. ramage on the other hand....what to do what to do i wasn't able to catch the game today but from what i've heard he was at the heart of everything west ham did well, he looks a better fit player as an emergency full back. anton would be a load of improvement over ramage. no question here on babel!! i've always been a fan and would love to see him come to newcastle over the summer. doubt he'll be leaving during this window. if roeder does manage 1 permanent signing and brings in a couple loanies i would say it was a productive window. time is runnnnning out though........

sempuki Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Roeder's quoted on the main site of saying he'll definitely sign 2 loans although I get the impression he's not confident of getting his main signing - he said he'll wait until the summer if necessary.

I know Lauren is a RB, never said he wasn't Agree Solano can do a job there, but I still think Lauren is an improvement and has a good couple of seasons left in him even at 30. Plus what happens if Solano gets injured? Carr (please God NO!), Huntingdon, Edgar, even Milner or Dyer with our CB & LB problems too... Really for a player of his quality and experience going cheap it's been a massive mistake imo not going for him. Also Lucas Neill chose West Ham over the club he supported, Liverpool because "West Ham were knocking down the door to get me whereas Liverpool made a take or leave it offer. They didn't even come in for me until 15 days after the transfer window opened." Bet you could say the same about Woodgate, it's probable Southgate and Middlesbrough made him their No.1 priority and put in extra effort to get him on loan, doubt it was solely down to him being from smogland that made him choose them. To think for less money than we paid for Boumsong we could have probably had a new back 4 of Bridge Campbell Neill Lauren :'( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nufc 4 life Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 For everyone is talking about why we didn't sign 30+ players Roeder has already commented on that by saying he could easily go out and buy a couple of defenders the wrong side of 30, but he doesn't want to as he wants to bring quality players in who will be at the club for 4/5 years and TBH i agree with him, yes Campbell has done well at pompey, but money and a lot of wages have been spent on someone who will probably retire next season. Everyone was worried about Roeder when it comes to signings and were saying why he didn't push a bit more for Kuyt becuase he had a more proven record than Martins and yes Kuyt is good , but Martins has 11 in all competitions Kuyt has 8/9 and Martins is only 22. Duff is quality and any EPL club would of had him at 5mil and don't forget SIbierski on a free he was like a saviour for a while. So good on Roeder for sticking to his guns if we get 1 permanent which is unlikely and 2 loan signings very likely with a view to sign at the end then i would be a very happy bunny :-0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 come on.. it's crystal clear Roeder doesn't have a clue.. we don't need a CB, not now atleast.. we have 6 players in that position already a couple of good wing backs would be a huge improvement to the defence thats all i'm asking for - 2 full backs who are better than Carr and Baba we keep getting linked with overrated english players.. and you know there's football elsewhere in the world, where players prices aren't hyper inflated.. of course buying players from abroad is risky, but imo, what's more risky is splashing millions for fucking nobodies (Rio's brother, Upson or Davies).. and somebody mentined Montella.. what makes you think Roeder has ever heard of him? or that he can appreciate a player of that type.. Luque is very similar from Montella, but noo.. he isn't showing enough effort.. fuck all, if Roeder plays fucking Pattison infront of him every time what kind of effort do you expect? sack this poor bastard..

brummie Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Ashley Young is signing for Villa for 9.65 million pounds according to ESPN, thats a bit pricey isn't it!!!! Yep. But when you've got a billionaire owner who's obviously itching to spend money, prices do get inflated, plus there's no point having the money if you're not prepared to spend what it takes to get what you want.

Cajun Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Linked with Babbel and Upson again today, both at £5m. Also West Brom have put an £11m price tag on Davies (seems to rise very other day!).
