Guest SwissMagpie Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 we need to buy around 8-10 new players IMO.cos the squad will be quite thin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 So gone are: Pav Bramble Moore Gooch Bernard Following soon: Parker Sib (unless he agrees to stay for 1 year instead of the 2 he is seeking) So thats 7 players gone and thats probably not even the end of players yet to leave and bringing in a total of just 7m. Also only one of these players likely to be on big wages is Parker so not saving too much on the wage bill. We knew before getting rid of any players we desperately needed to boost the squad numbers, now with 7 gone and counting how many players do you think Sam needs to bring in? PS I would have made a new thread but being one of those unfairly penalised for not having been a too frequent poster I couldn't. Perhaps if I had started pointless threads and made pointless replies I would have reached the 100 posts or so required to start threads. As much as people wont want to believe it I reckon Moore (free transfer) and Bramble (been here for years) will have been on a fair whack! Moore was on £10k pw, not sure what Bramble was on but he came from the Championship and never signed a contract extension in his time here. Where did you hear that? I remember rumours of Moore being on £40k a week and I am sure Bramble has signed at least one improved contract since he joined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Parker, Emre, N'Zogbia, Luque, Dyer, Owen are all expected to go.., lets say at least 3 of them go That leaves us with Given,Harper,Ramage,Huntington,Taylor, Babayaro, Carr, Solano, Edgar, Pattison,O'Brien, Milner, Butt, Duff,Troisi, Lua Lua Ameobi, Martins, Carroll. Allardyce better sign some players.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 One thing that was always said about Parker was that we won more games when he wasn't playing compared to when he was. That's because although he expended plenty of energy he was a jack of all trades and not a specialist CM. Would be useful on the continent but ineffective in the Prem.

Guest Alex20 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Emre's not going. But i'm happy that parker's on his way out. Not because I dislike him, on the contrary I like him a lot, but his game is not what we need. We need a midfielder next to emre who can play both sides of the game, who can pass the ball well.Who can open up the game with his passing ability. I hope we'll sell duff too, get a midfielder, some wingers, defenders...damn we need a lot of players lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 We know that there is already money there, and if you add the £8.5m on top of that with the deal for Parker, that's some fair cash - and i wouldn't be disappointed to see Joey Barton come through the door. He's already a better all-round player than Parker, but the major plus point is in comparison, is that he actually has a defined role whereas Parker did not. He's a penatrative attacking midfielder with a lot of potential, and i can see the likes of Sam sorting him out and turning him into a very good player. He's not a whippersnapper but he's still young and he's got a lod ahead of him. I'd be more than happy to see him come in. £5.5m was a bit risky, until the Parker deal came about. Still, there'd be no harm in testing the water with a £4m bid or something. Still, what a start that would be. Barton, Viduka and Ben Haim all through the door for a combined fee of around £5m. So excited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allardyce better sign some players.. The whole squad certainly needs a massive overhaul, but surely it can't be good to make too many changes pre-season or we are really going to struggle when the season kicks off with players not having time to gel properly. Lets just hope Allardyce can get that balance right! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember rumours of Moore being on £40k a week and I am sure Bramble has signed at least one improved contract since he joined. Even so the players we've got rid of except Parker are probably not amongst the highest earners - owen, dyer, luque, emre etc Looking at the premiership clubs wages, the top 5 are as follows: - PREMIER LEAGUE'S TOP WAGE BILLS 2005/06 Chelsea - £114m Manchester Utd - £85m Arsenal - £83m Liverpool - £69m Newcastle Utd - £52m Source: Deloitte Now the wages may have been helped a bit by those released, but it doesn't get away from the fact we've got a situation where we have a tiny squad but a massive wage bill.

Yorkie Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Was that Derek Boateng not a DM, Parkers replacement possibly. Parker was never a defensive midfielder for us though, except from occassionally i his first season. Butt will be the defensive mid next season i reckon. If we bring in a centre-mid, it'll be an attack-natured one like Barton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just shows how much shite people spout on the net tbh. Just because he can put himself about a bit doesn't make him a defensive midfielder.

Optimistic Nut Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 And counting Bernard as a player is a bit of an ovestatement of his worth tbh. Fair point, but with him gone we only have one recognised left back who picks and chooses his games as he fancies. As opposed to having one recognised left back who picks and chooses his games as he fancies, and one full back who didn't play at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
