Dokko Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 definitely take Baines. Perhaps Sam and Mortal think they're on a roll? Drago deal getting closer perhaps? (for some reason i really want this guy ) yeah, me too, especially after reading he was meant to be hard as f***. Won't get pushed around and turned too easily like Ramage aye me too. Big strong, takes no shit, can see him hurting a few bastards next season, is not a bad thing to have in defense, even at LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 From the Mirror - "Sam Allardyce is winning his battle of wills with Newcastle's board after striking twice in the summer market. Manchester United's Alan Smith and Lyon skipper Cacapa were both on Tyneside undergoing medicals last night. And the duo could even make their debuts against Serie A giants Sampdoria in Sunday's St James' Park friendly. More good news for the Toon faithful is that Allardyce has jumped to the front of the queue for Wigan left-back Leighton Baines - and will pay £6m for the youngster he has fancied since taking his new job." mackems.gif For a grand total of nothing. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_2638462,00.html Drago deal getting closer perhaps? (for some reason i really want this guy ) Baines would be fantastic with this little lot. Anything after that would be absolutely fantastic! Someone has already jumped the gun on wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivica_Dragutinovi%C4%87 listed as newcastle's new number 3! Do not know why people have the obsession of editing Wiki entries before things have even happened. Anyone tell me the satisfaction they get from doing it? I guess a fair few people on here do it, god knows why, just make us look totally fuking stupid when it doesn't come off, ie Deco. Morons. some saddo is paid to check over any edits anyway, won't be up for long Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I could deal with Carr (especially Carr v2008) at right back. Admitedly he would be the weak link there, but for the past 2 seasons he has been the better of the full backs - and thats not a compliment! So if Carr stays and we have significantly improved the other 3 defensive positions then I'm satisified (until January anyway!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Spectrum Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 The MEN news is usually spot on with its transfer stories. Linked us with Crouch, Zigic, Yakubu, Dragutinovic, Castillo, Chiellini, Santa Cruz, Dyer, Baines, Silvestre, Taiwo, Faye...as well as completely missing the boat on half the players we have signed...

So if Carr stays and we have significantly improved the other 3 defensive positions then I'm satisified (until January anyway!) I ear marked Geremi for the RB role, but it looks like he's seen in the centre, which he's also very good at, but Carr actually looked sharper, fitter, younger, faster, more aware and up for it in pre season, so yeah, i'd like to see if we can get a stop gap year out of him at least, possibly more. But on the other hand i'd be delighted if we signed a proper RB and sold him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at his age you can't. Not knowing his career but he's obviously had a slowish start so he's not being paid a great deal, now he gets the chance to secure his life, hopefully he's going to repay us with some special performances. Fingers crossed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Breezer Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Geremi, Barton, Butt, Viduka... Smith, Drago & Casapa. set of big and tough players! unlike some like Ramage and Dyer! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DazzaNufc1892 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 great news, not too sure of him defensively, but the good thing is as a wing back, you learn how to defend, its not a natural thing like a terry or a woodgate, where that bravery and love for the position is inbred. back 3 anyone? cacapa rozenhal serb milner baines Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Would be one of the best signings of our summer if it came off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Looking good. Baines at left-back, but Drago stepping in when we face tougher more offensive opponents. Similar to the way Manu alternated between Evra and Heinze. Also have the option of switching to a 3-5-2 with a back three of Cacapa, Roz and Drago like NSG pointed out. All of a sudden things are really looking up. Exciting stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Putting Taylor at RB is about the dumbest thing anyone could do right now, especially who you are shifting him for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 In light of signing Capaca and Drago I think Baines would be a good edition to the squad. Now if we could get a right back in that can replace Carr it would be great. Then again am I now being too greedy? Nah, fuck it. Let's sign a right back. If we want decent players and cover in all areas of the pitch, we need a right back too. Capaca, Drago, Baines, Smith... plus a right back. If these signings come off then I'm very pleased.
