As has been mentioned by some, Appiah would be class. My first choice for left back would be Bridge, but I can only see that really happening if they sign Drenthe, and I haven't heard much about him for a while. A class centre back would be nice as well, don't know too much about Andrade myself though. Would love Wes Brown if Fergie'd let him go.

I hope they do sign Drenthe if Arsenal don't, as long as they utilise him as a LB because he is much more a threat as a winger, than LB playing defensively!

 

I wouldnt personally have this guy in the Mackems side, never mind a team who are going places!

LB - We desperately need a LB - ideally Drenthe (as can play LW too) if not Baines,Shorey, a continental gem i don't know about.

 

RB - Sam may decide to play Nobby or Dyer there but i'd splash the cash and take a risk with Micah Richards, even though he'll cost alot I just think he's awesome in that position and would really make us a force. Now citeh have been taken over he may not be allowed or want to go and if he does Arsenal are thought to be his most most likely destination. As he's unlikely Bebe, young or Geremi should be added

 

CB - ok we have Taylor, Rozenhal, Edgar, Hunty and Ramage. One more experienced head is needed imo and Big Sol campbell would have been and will be  ideal for us imo (yes thanks Glen you prat) and even if he cost us 4m i'd pay it, IF (unlikely now) Harry agree's to let him go . 

 

That should pretty much do us unless Oba and/or Owen leaves and then we obviously need to replace. Although if Boupa Papa Dioup could be bought i'd be very tempted.   

 

Idealy imo:

 

                  Given

 

Richards  Taylor Campell Drengthe    or      Richards  Taylor Campell  Drengthe

 

Milner    Barton    Butt    Martins                          Barton    Butt    Emre

 

              Owen  Viduka                                    Viduka        Owen      Martins

 

Subs: Krul, Rozenhal/Edgar, Nobby                    Subs: Krul, Rozenhal/Edgar, Milner, 

, Dyer, Ameobi                                                    Dyer, Ameobi

 

 

More likely:

 

Geremi  Taylor  Rozehnal  Baba?      or        Geremi  Taylor  Rozenhal  Baba?       

 

Milner    Barton  Butt    ????                                  Barton  Butt    Emre

 

            Owen  Viduka                                          Viduka  Owen  Martins

Papers seem to indicate that Arsenal will get Sagna.

 

Could that make Eboue or someone else available? If they really want Martins, may be we could a quality player in return?

 

I reckon they might make Sagna first choice RB with Eboue pushed up to the wing. Going forward he's great but he is suspect defensively and play acts way too much for a defender for my liking. I'd be surprised if Sagna wasn't made of tougher stuff.

 

Gavin Hoyte could be available? Not a "top class" player but young and a lot better than Carr.

If we could take anyone in a deal for Martins it would be Justin Hoyte for me.

 

Will be nice if Beye and Geremi sign up next week. A LB/LWB is the main cause for concern, we will all breath a little easier after the end of next week IMO.

Happy with Goalies - Krul is going to be Cech class, and Shay is the man

 

Midfield is STILL missing a real creative genius , for me. Barton is a big engine, attacking player...but not that many assists. Emre hasn't shown it enough. Gudj (may be) able to provide some of that role; Deco is creative enough; must admit to liking Appiah as well though, although I think we'd be well down the pecking order.

PS. If Luque is fit, I'd love to see him regain form on the left...would be like a new £10 M signing...

 

 

Strike Force - Duke/Shola & Owen/Oba is a very good strike force. Again Gudj would be an excellent addition to this. Dyer has also proved a useful pace replacement. Wouldn't be in a hurry for extra strikers unless the likes of a Berbatov ended up being a Toon fan! If we lost any, then I'd want to replace with like for like...if we go 4/3/3, then we'd need another "energy" forward, great on the ball. Would still take Crouch tomorrow...

 

Defence - where do we start! Nobby was class but ...so a RB

Baba is shite  - desperate for a LB Lahm is a great shout...or take Andrade who can play ANY of the defensive positions

CB - would love to see either Hyppia or Campbell come in to give us experience and help Taylor and Edgar develop...

 

 

So in summary, I want to buy every fella! At least 6 from my write up with Crouch, Lahm, Andrade, Appiah, Gudjohson, and Hyppia/Campbell my tops :clap:

I do agree that Eboue may be implemented on the wing more as this is where, i believe, he played his first league games as a sub!

 

And do you mean Justin? Gavin is far too young to be at a club like Newcastle pushing for first team with so much expectation!

 

I tyhink Sangna might come in whilst eboue is at the ACN and as cover for the LB position as we only have clichy and a very young, very good, traore!

I heard we're interrested in signing the swedish talent Jon Jönsson from Elfsborg. He's supposedly being chased by a number of european clubs.

Anyone know anything about him? And could someone explain why he is still being called a talent at 23??

I'd move for Sol Campbell. I think it would be great for the likes of Steven Taylor and other young centre halfs at the club; to learn and gain experiance from Sol. I also think he would be a great CB to have at the club also and would be a good leader of the back four.
