Newcastle Increase Their Bid For Top Turkish Striker

1 NathanH NUFC // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:12 AM

Get the lad signed up!

2 NathanH NUFC // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:12 AM

1st! :3

3 carrollsinger // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:13 AM

Would be a good signing and prove we will spend money

4 eaststandgeordie1982 // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:15 AM

Defo get him in and start on defence cover and a right winger

5 BonVoyageBenny // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:16 AM

7.5M is a good amount for what he possesses. Speedy, a little trickster, would suit Ba in a partnership.

6 roshan MAGPIE // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:18 AM

he is the correct forward we need full of pace and trickery

7 Pards28 // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:20 AM

him and Ba would be amazing.

8 sweendog // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:20 AM

eaststandgeordie1982 .. agreed although we still need a DM .. especially if Joey is sold .. would love Matuidi or Sissoko ..

Players needed
Striker – Erding
DM – Matuidi
RW – ???, maybe Zog LW and Guti out Right
LB – cover or 1st teamer if the bull goes, I reckon he’ll stay if we get all the other buys, ie Matuidi,Erding,Zog
RB – maybe ok with gosling here to backup

After that maybe good young hungry players for CB etc ..

9 connor_nufc // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:22 AM

Nzogbia 1st!!

10 moonraker // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:23 AM

Sign him up and I’m happy. If we don’t score goals next season were toast.

11 magpie6699 // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:28 AM

Looking at this blog and the last, I find it fascinating how desperate some people are – “Why haven’t we bid for X, we’re gonna bid for nobody, we’re losing our 27 best players, blah blah?” Other than the very occasional official news, I have no confidence that anybody in the media knows who we’ve bid for, are looking at, or will sell – and yet people are getting very angry about what we have and haven’t done – and it’s all MA’s fault or Pardew. And I’m not being an apologist for them – I’m just reserving judgement. There are 2 “exam results” as far as I’m concerned: first, where we are at at the end of the transfer window – when I might feel satisfied, disappointed, angry etc.The second is obviously when I see how next season goes, results and play-wise.
Meanwhile, its “Daddy, I want a present! Something – ANYTHING! And I want it NOW! Or else I’ll scream!”

12 dmac // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:30 AM

I agree with Moon we need to score goals and our forwards minus Ba are weak.

13 sweendog // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:31 AM

magpie6699 .. agreed to some extent .. we need a RW, DM, Striker .. I don’t care if they’re 20 mill or free as long as they’re good enough

14 magpie6699 // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:36 AM

sweendog – sure. Not saying we don’t need to strengthen in some areas. And I have my own views about things e.g of all our strikers (excluding Ba), the one who has always looked most up for it, puts himself around, tries hard and has scored some goals is Best – but if we get another really good striker in I’ll be less bothered – and I don’t care how much they cost, it’ll be how they perform.

15 eaststandgeordie1982 // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:36 AM

Sweendog gosling is a DM and he is good enough barton is better attaking than defending just ask simmo he got left 2 on 1 most of last season with barton infront of him

16 balubas1 // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:38 AM

Just for info: News of the World are rated as THE MOST unreliable source for football in the WORLD. They are rock bottom. How this was found was by taking the articles of every newssource and looking at how many of the links and rumours actually materialised. The nr.1 on reliableness is “The Guardian” with some 33% of their articles went on to be true in regards of transfers. But much of this is obviously donw to the journalists themselves and their contacts.

17 sweendog // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:41 AM

magpie6699 .. agreed on best .. he’s got ability in abundance .. I think he should be tried consistently in the cups .. if he proves his ability promote him to league 1st choice .. otherwise he should still be a sub until his goal scoring improves ..
eaststandgeordie1982 .. agreed gosling is a DM .. but is he good enough to be our main DM .. he was quality for Everton as RB .. RW he wasn’t bad .. the jury is still out in relation to DM .. note we need cover for Tiotes yellow cards .. and the ACM .. we can’t wait until Jan to realise this.

18 Robby Bobson // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:41 AM

Looks a nifty player..someone who can get on the end of the hba and cabaye through balls. People moan about his goal record but its better than gyan had in france and he hasnt done half bad

19 magpie6699 // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:41 AM

balubas1 – very interesting stats. The other point is that the BEST source only gets 1 right in 3!

20 TOON RSA // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:41 AM

I’ve written about it once or twice so this third time i’ll offer more insight to my opinion.

Successful Forwards and Strikers generally take a year or two to establish themselves in the PL. Is it the physicality of the PL defenses usually with 4 at the back, the demanding calender that takes getting used to? Other reasons could be applied. What stands to reason though is that proven successful strikers appear to know how to beat such and such a defense/defender because they’ve played them before, worked it out and better them.

I understand Ashley’s youth policy and desire to not pay 5 years @ 100k a week wage for ‘we’re not sure what you’ll be like in three years’… But you can’t buy proven PL experience and attacking track record. With Ba, there’s that potential definitely… but not confirmed.

Ba could go either way… What we need is somebody with GREAT POTENTIAL and someone with EXPERIENCE & HUNGER.

I say with 35 million make this financial statement.

Buy Sturridge – Outbid everybody else and in two years if he the team is still where we are but he’s great, sell him for 40Million.

Buy Defoe – Give him 9 and a wage based on his ability to keep that number. Make him the forwards captain and get 3 great years of forward play. His experience in the PL is invaluable. He will help push Sturridges price up.

?? Am i the only one thinking Defoe?

21 Toonboy_84 // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:42 AM

Everyone is obsessed with money/fees. I couldn’t give a shit if we sign good players. They could be free or £30 million. We’re not accountants. We’re football fans. Like Magpie6699, I will be reserving judgement till we are finished in the transfer window. Weather or not the Judas money is spent, I will be happy if we get another striker, center back and left back (if Jose leaves).

22 sweendog // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:42 AM

*ACM .. shoud be ACN .. african cup of nations

23 Robby Bobson // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:45 AM

Toonrsa….defoe will be too much for his age for ashley. I would love us to keep leon best but that dont look like happening.

24 sweendog // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:46 AM

Toon RSA .. defoe .. not IMO.. mercenary who relies on Pace .. greedy player .. although he is a quality finisher .. rather erding that Defo ..
as for sturridge .. yep would love him .. we’ll see if its him or erding .. hopefully we’ll get him on loan..alongside erding or is that expecting too much

25 sweendog // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:48 AM

robby bobson .. agreed on Best .. worth keeping him for another year .. see if he improves as much as he did last season .. good to have a target man like him

26 toontoonblacknwhitearmy // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:49 AM

WE HAVE ENOUGH GOOD CM’s!!! Matuidi would just be an excuse to have a more defensive set up; we don’t need him. WE NEED a versitile defender for cover, a STRIKER, I still think we will need 2 for competition, and please buy Zog as a RW, he is amazing there, cuts in and shoots and kept Wigan in the league because of this!!! Everyone saying play Jonas on the RW has no clue what so ever!!!

27 sweendog // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:53 AM

toontoonblacknwhitearmy .. did you watch the toon last year? .. did you watch Guti on the right last year ..he was good .. .. who would you have as RW then if we bought Zog .. answers on a postcard mate

28 sweendog // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:54 AM

toontoonblacknwhitearmy ..
also when Tiote is away at the ACN who would you have as our DM who has pace .. again answers on a postcard

29 Toonboy_84 // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:55 AM

I’d take defoe. He would score goals no doubt.

30 eaststandgeordie1982 // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:56 AM

Sweendog i wouldnt want us to spend 13m on cover thats not wise at all when it can be used for places where we need players tiote is our main DM gosling cover and cabaye can also play there if need be

31 sweendog // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:57 AM

toontoonblacknwhitearmy .. just take a time out before overreacting and saying some people have no clue whatsoever .. might make you look a bit stupid ..

32 CynicalasEva // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:58 AM

to all those reserving judgement – very magnanimous of you but doe it mean that you wont be putting up any more posts till close of window – you crack me up your like the people who phone a premium rate number to vote that you cant make your mind up between A and B lol

This post thrives on different opinions and banter – not fence sitting

33 sweendog // Jul 3, 2011 at 11:59 AM

eaststandgeordie1982 .. agreed .. we still need cover although I see Matuidi and Tiote working together when we play away from home .. in a 4-5-1
the 5 man midfield is like so

Tiote – Matuidi
Guti – Cabaye – Arfa

34 toontoonblacknwhitearmy // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:02 PM

Jonas played the FULL SEASON on the left wing you plum! Barton played on the RW…

Thats why you hear people talking about Jose and Jonas’ chemistry, LB and LW…

Oh and I really don’t know, we have good players (in my eyes) in abundance. E.g Guthrie, Barton, Cabeye, Gosling, and even this young Abeid, I’ve heard he’s a defensive CM. Before you slate Guthrie, he was good in the last 2 games of last season when Tiote was rested, the reason we drew 3-3 with WBA is cos Pardew brought Smith&Co on.

35 sweendog // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:04 PM

eaststandgeordie1982 .. not convinced on Cabaye as DM .. I see him as our attacking midfielder.. still could be wrong but he played that position for Lille

36 sweendog // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:06 PM

toontoonblacknwhitearmy .. I see you didn’t watch the toon last year .. yes Guti mainly played LW .. did he not swap wings during games .. don’t want to get into a childish argument with you so we’ll leave it at that ..

37 Robby Bobson // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:06 PM

I was reading a french blog the other day and matuidi seems the real deal. Everyone was moaning players were leaving ligue 1 not for arsenal or man utd but going to newcastle. They said erdinc was alright cus hes averagr but matuidi should be going to a top top team.

38 toontoonblacknwhitearmy // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:06 PM

So you would buy a £10m+ player in Matuidi for half the season’s games (away) and the ACN games? Hmm, when the team can adopt a more defensive stance anyway in away games? And when we have youth coming through the ranks that can cover?

39 Toonboy_84 // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:07 PM

CynicalasEva

Although I am reserving judgment, this doesn’t mean I can’t post on here anymore. It just means I’m not gonna complain about lack of signings………..yet

40 09nufc09 // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:08 PM

Matuidi if anything would make us more attacking, it would allow hba marveaux and guti/ hopefully nzog and ba / erding to be all out attack while they sit and protect the back 4. Cabaye and gosling can play both atacking mid and defensive mid, its all about cover, why do you think manu have bought young and jones when they already have nani valencia and vidic and ferdinand? Players get injured/ suspended and players get tired during games. Matuidi would be a very good signing.

41 toontoonblacknwhitearmy // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:08 PM

I don’t pay great attention to detail sweeney but I would bet my house that he played more time on the LW, considering the player he would have had to swap with would be Barton

42 Mc-Toon // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:08 PM

Toon RSA…are you on crack!?

Why do we need to ‘make a financial statement’ , what your talking about sounds like financial suicide!

I’d much rather we made a financial statement via the means were currently doing, good players adding quality not numbers all for very little in fees. Surely the financial statement of signing Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Ba, Marveaux, Gosling, And Toite for around £14million is enough of a financial statement!?

That statement is signing some quality players for less than half of an Andy Carroll, 3/4 of a Jordan Henderson, less than a Michael Owen, one and a half Albert Luques etc etc.

I prefer our current financial statement thanks!

43 sweendog // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:09 PM

also I’d appreciate not getting childish name calling posts .. I’m a bit too old for that .. and are we not both toon supporters ..

44 Andy // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:09 PM

@Cynicals i’m not sure how i feel about that comment …

45 toontoonblacknwhitearmy // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:10 PM

09nufc09

Agree, but there are wiser places where we can spend the money, positions where quality is lacking.

46 toontoonblacknwhitearmy // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:11 PM

Just say sorry and I’ll forgive you for your error (typing error obviously)

47 toontoonblacknwhitearmy // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:14 PM

Oh and I would play Nzogbia on the RW

48 sweendog // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:15 PM

toontoonblacknwhitearmy .. do you not remember Gutis assists from the right wing .. I was looking for the youtube clip but frankly I’ve got bored

49 Robby Bobson // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:17 PM

Guti played left but he would always gey bored and drift and end up next to joey

50 toontoonblacknwhitearmy // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:20 PM

I only went to half the home matches but I would have said covering jose was one of his strong points, the other main one being their link up.

51 Phil K // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:29 PM

Would prefer Sturridge, but I’d take the turk if not.

52 Ezedoesit // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:34 PM

Hopefully we get him for tht price. We are becoming quite shrewd! Lol

Check out this video on YouTube:

53 hainesy // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:35 PM

Matuidi talk is totally non-existent. It is a non starter. Look at Leroy Fer if you want CDM cover for Tiote he is your man. 4.5M for him unlike the numbers between 10 and 15M for Matuidi. If we are going to actually fork out 10M or more I am 99.9% certain it would only be for a new no.9 or for N’Zogbia.

54 09nufc09 // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:36 PM

The only place we lack quality is up front and right back, but i rate simpson and think he will get better so i would only buy a back up and we are being linked with erding which means we would not be lacking up front. Nzog would be a luxury signing That would take us to the next level. Matuidi would mean we could shut up shop when we get a lead or we could go all out attack if we are behind, would be a sensible signing, especially considering we are going to be without tiote for about 2 months and then theres suspensions on top of that.
When we had 2 wingers who could play both sides jonas would often swap with routledge, but barton was not a winger and could only play on the right, jonas strong point is his tracking back and running at players something that joey lacks and leaves simpson exposed alot, jonas on the right with mareaux on the left would be strong, jose has played well with both hba and fergie this season so he dosent need jonas in front of him.

55 ~Vive la révolution de Châteauneuf~ // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:41 PM

I reckon we would have a diamond-esque midfield

~~~~~~~ARFA~~~~~~~
~marv~~Cabaye~~Jonas
~~~~~~~Tiote~~~~~~~~

56 i Toon // Jul 3, 2011 at 12:54 PM

fingers cross we get him

57 gorskino10 // Jul 3, 2011 at 1:00 PM

Have my worries over him, Out of form last season and trying to adapt to new language,country,club it will be tough and im not sure he will score enough for a 7.5M Striker.

Is a big gamble buying a striker who’s off-form and from another league, i think we need another striker otherwise the pressure on him and Ba to score week in week out will be alot.

58 jonny_ringo13 // Jul 3, 2011 at 1:03 PM

lets just get him signed up or move on

61 ilovetoon8788 // Jul 3, 2011 at 1:10 PM

We should keep Joey Barton and let him go on a free next season. We are still not capable of attracting high quality midfielders like him to replace Barton. If we keep him, he will add much needed quality depth and help us push high up the league. We can recoup the potential 4 million loss of selling Barton this season if he helps us finish in a position that will help us get 4 million more, which is 9th-7th…

62 JackButler // Jul 3, 2011 at 1:13 PM

Strange with all the moaning about us spending money, the best player we’ve signed this season in BA, and he cost us nothing!!!.
Stop obsessing about money and look for the quality. Tiote is the perfect example, cost us very little but has had a massive impact on the team.

63 nightfa11 // Jul 3, 2011 at 1:16 PM

i think we wont sign anyone untill we get rid off dead wood.. ashley said many times we need to balance the books..so..

out: carroll, nolan, sol, kuqi..together they were on over 100k per week..& the players weve signed so far also take aprox the same portion of wage budget.. i think thats the case..

i dont think well buy untill we seel smith, xisco, etc.

64 burnsie // Jul 3, 2011 at 1:25 PM

SWEENDOG U ARE TOTALLY WRONG MATE. GUTI DID NOT PLAY ANY GAME TIME ON THE RIGHT!!!!! I CANT BELIEVE U KEEP GOING ON AND ON AND ON SAYN HE DID!!!!! HE IS A LEFT WINGER THAT IS RIGHT FOOTED END OF.

65 qtoon // Jul 3, 2011 at 1:25 PM

I reckon Ba, Erdinc, Best and Lovenkrands can do the job for us next season.

Looks like we’re gonna be playing ‘ball on the deck’ sort of football next season rather than relying on crossing and set pieces. I know McLoven would often go missing during matches, but that’s no surprise if Barton is looking for that long ball. I think the new style would suit a player like him.

I reckon Erdinc would be a better version of Lovenkrands getting in behind the defence, and Ba a better and more skillful version of Best. No doubt Best and McLoven are decent backup.

Get Ranger out on loan to a strict manager, maybe even Airey as well to get some experience. Then keep an eye on the availability of Sturridge. Chelsea will buy either Lukaku, Falcao or Neymar, so he’ll want to go eventually. Job done!

Bring on next season!!

66 qtoon // Jul 3, 2011 at 1:33 PM

67 ross armstrong // Jul 3, 2011 at 1:33 PM

pardue has said to us a few month ago we will be spending most the 35 million , we have spent 5 million and he says we are gna get another 2 players in so in my maths we are gna buy 2 more players at the value of around 15 million each???? BOLLICKS PARDUE AND ASHLEY – YOUS HAVE LIED TO ALL NEWCASTLE FANS, GET OUT OF OUR CLUB!!!!!!!!

68 niafron // Jul 3, 2011 at 1:38 PM

Bonjours messieurs.

There’s the news i got on Erding:

Erding and Newcastle found an Agreement. But PSG consider the newcastle’s 8,2 millions euros offer insufficient. It seems Mackems have already offer them 10 millions euros. Officialy, Paris want 11,3 millions euros.

69 jesperfuglsang // Jul 3, 2011 at 1:41 PM

Listen, we’re not after him. It’s just paper talk, because AP has hinted that we have been watching him.

We’re not interesting in a PSG reject for way too much money…

70 JackButler // Jul 3, 2011 at 1:44 PM

qtoon

NOOOOOOO to Upson, we have enough issues with injuries as it is

71 Nick 69 // Jul 3, 2011 at 1:46 PM

sweendog – you keep banging on about Jonas’ assists from the right last season, he only got 5 assists all season, so at most he could have only had like 1or 2 assists from the right all season.

72 JackButler // Jul 3, 2011 at 1:49 PM

Jonas never has been or will never be a right sided midfielder. in his time with Velez Sarsfield, Argentina, Majorca and NUFC he has never played right side midfield, he has played right full back for his country but was woeful

73 belfastmagpie87 // Jul 3, 2011 at 1:49 PM

afternoon.lol

is this guy quick??.ive never seen him before…

74 Offkey // Jul 3, 2011 at 1:50 PM

@ toontoonblacknwhitearmy

Fair play if you like wingers to play that way. Dont get me wrong, I’m happy for wingers to swap wings during the game to change things up but unlike yourself I prefer to have my set up with a naturally left footed player on the left and a naturally right footed player on the right.

This is especially the case when they dont score a lot of goals by ‘cutting inside’. Therefore I dont really see what your problem is with Guti on right (especially if Jose is going as it negates the link up play). Further, Guti did have a few forays down the right and looked good, without having to stop his run, cut on to his right (allowing the defenders to return to position) before whipping in a usually poor cross (there were a few exceptions – Birmingham I believe).

Matuida would be a good as 09NUFC09 states at comment 40.

In all, I felt slightly insulted by your little rant, but this has seemed to fade as YOU clearly dont seem to have a clue. Dont get me wrong, your opinion is fine on the set up of the team, but your statement was a bit nonsensical.

75 JackButler // Jul 3, 2011 at 1:50 PM

belfastmagpie87

yes mate he’s quick and tricky, would be a good signing for us IF he comes

76 jaw4life // Jul 3, 2011 at 1:52 PM

@ Niafron

The mackems are in for Erdinc?!?!?! and theyve outbid us?
wow it hasnt been reported over here…
I think its cheeky that PSG think erdinc is worth the same as what they paid for Gameiro!! Why are they being so stingy and tight, when they have just offered like £13mn for that twit Adel Taraabt!

77 MykToonFan // Jul 3, 2011 at 1:53 PM

I doubt Sunderland are willing to spend that much on Erding.

Why would they? They have three fairly strong strikers now, and are looking at the likes of DJ Campbell as cheap back-up.

They aren’t a real threat for Erding – I think we are our own worst enemy here, as we are refusing to match PSG’s estimation.

79 Offkey // Jul 3, 2011 at 1:56 PM

Oh……and by forays down the right, I didn’t state he started a game on the right. It meant that he found himself dribbling down the right during a few games.

80 niafron // Jul 3, 2011 at 1:56 PM

@MyktoonFan

The problem when you’re negociating with people who don’t need money is they don’t have to negociate. They give you a price, if you pay, it’s good for them, if you don’t, they don’t care.

81 JackButler // Jul 3, 2011 at 2:04 PM

niafron

With Mike Ashley if he can’t make the deal happen for a price thats right for him, he doesn’t care either and he’ll just walk away and look to someone else

82 MykToonFan // Jul 3, 2011 at 2:15 PM

Very true Niafron.

PSG have no need to sell, and clearly don’t care about letting Erding rot on the bench.

84 GeordieRob // Jul 3, 2011 at 2:18 PM

Offkey,

And if we play Jonas on the left and Marveoux (or Zog) on the right, how van we expect to stretch defences? If you or I were a right back, you’d show Jonas the outside line every time, knowing the cross is poorer that side. Same with Zog. If he gets inside you onto his left you’re in trouble. Show him the line

I agree mate. A left footer on the left and a right footer on the right… At least preferably.

85 belfastmagpie87 // Jul 3, 2011 at 2:31 PM

for whats it worth,i think jonas should play on the right.
but, im not gonna argue over it.lol

Erdinc is a very talented striker and is probably the best striker we could sign for the money Ashley is willing to offer ( £7m – £8m ) and reasonably low wages.

People are still talking about Sturridge but it’s not going to happen. Chelsea want £20m for him.

Longtime reader, firsttime porter. Just Wondering what people think of snapping up artem milevskyi as our ‘big name’ signing. Release clause of around £9 million. Psg were sniffing around him until they got gameiro. Great talent, strong target man and a much more interesting prospect than erdinc. Milevskyi and ba upfront would be a terrifying. Ah well, nice to dream.

94 roshan MAGPIE // Jul 3, 2011 at 3:04 PM

ANY 1 HERE

95 OneAlanShearer // Jul 3, 2011 at 3:06 PM

burnsie – Jonas started playing for us on the right and swapped to the left you’re wrong.

96 GeordieToon89 // Jul 3, 2011 at 3:11 PM

this season Jonas started on the left..

anyways.. we should get Adrian Lopez from relegated Deportivo he was class at the u21′s tournement could get him for between £2 and £4million aswel bargain.!

97 geordiefinn // Jul 3, 2011 at 3:15 PM

Jonas did play as RIGHT WINGER last season ffs!! Can’t you remember the games against Chelsea & WBA in may? In those matches Ferguson played as a left winger, Raylor and Joey in the middle and Jonas was right winger. Imo Jonas played his best games of the season as a right winger in those games. So surely he can play as a right winger, as he did also at Mallorca.

For Gorskino10:
I think it is clear that you don’t like Erding at all. I remember you mentioned players like Giroud and Maiga as alternatives, but can you guarantee they can do the job for NUFC, as they also come from Ligue 1 and they will need time to adapt? I think its meaningless point to say Erding had one bad season, he is a proven goal scorer just check his stats from Sochaux and PSG. For example, Rooney didn’t score so many goals last season, so I assume you wouldn’t take he to NUFC if he was available? OK, maybe a bad example as he earns millions, but you know every player have their bad times?

98 GEORDIE69 // Jul 3, 2011 at 3:16 PM

Burnsie you are wrong mate! Jonas started on the right.

99 GeordieToon89 // Jul 3, 2011 at 3:24 PM

hate Tennis but nowt on but Nadal is gettin rather hammered

100 nufc90 // Jul 3, 2011 at 3:25 PM

geordiefinn:
jonas never played against west brom in may, he was injured i think? pretty sure we went with:rtaylor, barton, guthrie, ferguson

and i can’t remember where he played at chelsea but i think he just got a free role playing off the striker?

101 toontoonblacknwhitearmy // Jul 3, 2011 at 3:25 PM

@Offkey

my point was that Jonas played on the left last season, not that he wouldn’t be good if he moved to the right!

And with the whole left footer on left wing idea i don’t mind, I don’t really think it matters as we have 2 attacking, overlapping full backs who like to cross, so we have the option of cutting inside or crossing it in.

Hengbart is a quick player that I think Simpson would learn a lot off, a strong player who would do a job anywhere along the back four, could also cover as a holding midfielder.

Him, another winger (preferrably someone who could play RW) and a striker/or 2 and we are sorted!

102 dickinsonjuniour // Jul 3, 2011 at 3:25 PM

personally think we should go for higuain on loan with option to buy gotta think he has gutierrez and colo here gonna get first team football here also madrid have benzema want adebayor neymar he wont get much time when if hes at us hes gettin first team football football just get him on loan then buy em possible if sunderland can get wickham we can get anyone and if not higuain lukaku also get kyle walker and lens be sorted if keep our players krul walker taylor colo enrique barton cabaye tiote lens ben arfa higuain

103 geordiefinn // Jul 3, 2011 at 3:35 PM

nufc90:

Yeah you are right Jonas was injured against WBA, but against Chelsea he played as right winger me thinks.

104 juanpeterbeardsley // Jul 3, 2011 at 3:39 PM

Lille wont sell Hazard to PSG so Erdinc wont be a makeweght in any deal they see PSG as their rivals next season.
The delay with this deal is down to PSG being taken over and appointing a new football director likely to be Leanardo.Source (Le Parisiene)
Erdinc has just as good a goals ratio as Gameiro but is more skilful.

110 nufc90 // Jul 3, 2011 at 3:54 PM

suggests we’re willing to pay decent fees, considering the amount lille signed him for

111 toontoonblacknwhitearmy // Jul 3, 2011 at 3:56 PM

@108

my only prob with that team is that we would only have 4 players that played last year (if enrique goes), would take a while for the players to gel.

112 GeordieToon89 // Jul 3, 2011 at 3:57 PM

a think Erdin will sign this week dont ask why jus got tht little feeling he’l sign for wah

113 dmac // Jul 3, 2011 at 4:00 PM

Lol at the mention of Higuain. There are atleast a dozen teams that would be interested over us. We can dream though i suppose.

114 2 AMEOBI'S // Jul 3, 2011 at 4:10 PM

8 million Berbatov
10 – 15 million Sturridge
9 million Nzog
1 million Taylor

Is this too much to ask…….

115 a.barry // Jul 3, 2011 at 4:10 PM

@dickinson junior, Higuain will get a game at real mate, Adebayor was brought it to replace him because of a injury he got earlier in the season. As for Benzema, he’s been wanting a move away hasn’t he? and with Neymar coming in i suppose Benzema is a slightly less ridiculous target.

116 Burni // Jul 3, 2011 at 4:13 PM

Burnsie mate you are the one that is wrong he played on the right for us when he first came as someone said earlier! Now that IS end of! Fact! Period! Fullstop! Nee skinchies!

123 GEORDIE69 // Jul 3, 2011 at 4:19 PM

Burnsie, Jonas only switched to left wing once we sold Damien Duff. Where do you think he played when we had both Duff and NZogbia?

124 GEORDIE69 // Jul 3, 2011 at 4:20 PM

Burnsie your wrong! Sorry bonny lad. END OF!

125 MykToonFan // Jul 3, 2011 at 4:26 PM

Benzema and Higuain are NOT realistic targets! Fools.

They’re barely even realistic for certain lesser Champions League teams, because they play at the TOP level on HUGE wages.

Stop being deluded. Erding is a good player – the best we’re going to get. Just keep your fingers crossed that we do get him, and not someone like Cole or Keane.

126 2 AMEOBI'S // Jul 3, 2011 at 4:26 PM

magpie6699

Why is that such a problem, season ticket money, gate recipts, club shop, sponsorship, t.v money, parachute payments, and loads more that i have missed + carrol money.

Adds up to more than 35 million, granted we like any bussiness have overheads but i doubt these are that huge in comparison to our income.

My point being ashley is putting nothing more than carrol mney into transfer window… what would we have done if we hadnt sold him, had nowt to spend.

no comment.lol

Kalou isnt an out and out goal scorer though which we need..

GG – none today just same old crap

151 niafron // Jul 3, 2011 at 5:35 PM

By the latest news, Man CIty, Blackburn, Getafe (spain) are on him and also toulouse in France. He have stated he want to remain in France.

152 Stuart // Jul 3, 2011 at 5:35 PM

Unfortunately Burnsie lad you’re wrong. Jonas has played on the right for us previously.

I’m pretty sure the original point made was that Jonas tended to drift to the right during games anyway lol.

153 Stuart // Jul 3, 2011 at 5:38 PM

Anyway, I still think a player will be announced tomorrow.

AP said the other day he was hoping for one in by the 4th, tomorrow.

Zoggy, Erding or even Taylor. Just want someone to talk about haha.

154 burnsie // Jul 3, 2011 at 5:38 PM

No he said last season!!!!!!!!!! i didnt mean ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am not nufcking wrong!!!!!!!

155 niafron // Jul 3, 2011 at 5:39 PM

PSG officialy want 11,3 millions euros. So if there’s a clause of 10 millions, they are crooks…hum…10 millions pounds, isn’t 11,3 millions euros? It’s maybe an error of conversion?

156 niafron // Jul 3, 2011 at 5:42 PM

I got 11,1 euros for 10 pounds. Anyway, i’ve found nothing about a clause of 10 millions euros in Eridng’s contract.

157 GeordieToon89 // Jul 3, 2011 at 5:43 PM

10 million british pounds is just under 11.1million euros..

aw well thanks anyways Niafron

159 barryvenison // Jul 3, 2011 at 5:44 PM

Stuart, Pardew said we wouldn’t be getting one in before the fourth but hopefully before they left to America which is still about 2 weeks away.

160 gorskino10 // Jul 3, 2011 at 5:47 PM

Erdinc isnt worth that sort of money considering Gamiero is alot more consistant and scores alot more, and went for similar price. To the price PSG want.

161 Stuart // Jul 3, 2011 at 5:47 PM

Ah, fair one barry.

I’ll still hope for tomorrow. I’ve been on here every day since the season finished hoping for a new signing anyway haha.

162 GeordieToon89 // Jul 3, 2011 at 5:48 PM

Gameiro and Erding have basically identical records

163 moonraker // Jul 3, 2011 at 5:51 PM

I must say I don’t recall Jonas playing on the right. I even saw his 1st game for the Toon and he started and played on the left in a withdrawn position as we were away to Man u. In fact I’ve often wondered why he doesnt move over to the right in games cos I think he’s mainly right-footed!

164 belfastmagpie87 // Jul 3, 2011 at 5:54 PM

i dont have a clue who he is.lol
premiership,la liga & the spl.thats the only leagues i watch.

165 niafron // Jul 3, 2011 at 6:00 PM

@ Gt89:

One thing come back to my mind. A transfer and the raise of a liberation clause are not the same, cause, in the second case, you got to pay some taxs. So it’s maybe less expansive to pay the 11,3 millions claimed by Paris.

I’m not sure, got to check that.

168 gazza going fishing // Jul 3, 2011 at 6:12 PM

N’zogbia and erding, then promote vuckic and ferguson to the first team, ferguson as a main starter, and vuckic to come on in the last quarter of the game.

Sturridge in my eyes should be a separate investment, 20 million sounds alot, but he is 21, and that money will soon be recovered, as he looks like the next best thing in England since sliced bread.

Buying mediocre squad players will just push our future potential stars out, let Abheid, Moyo, Richardson, Cambpell, e.c.t.. have a chance, like Everton do, and they look a pretty successful club to me when it comes to youth.

169 GeordieToon89 // Jul 3, 2011 at 6:13 PM

if chelsea get in the players they’re supposedly linked with, they’ll let sturridge go for less, of that i’m certain but in all honesty,i cant see them letting him go… every man and his dog say the same thing about him so you’ve got to assume chelsea see his ability too… loan at best me thinks

am sure people on hear just name players who they find on FM. Pure random.

178 GeordieTwo // Jul 3, 2011 at 6:30 PM

Don’t be so sure belfastmagpie87. Look at Liverpool spending 20 M for Henderson. And he was poor for the U21 side or at best average. That deal really shocked me. I think Sturridge could go for that price. Would they sell him to Tottenham for example if they sell Crouch and Defoe? Harry is famous for splashing the cash. I think we were never in for him. It looks to be Erding or nothing right now. Why Pardew announced his interest in Erding is beyond me. They will steadily raise the price on him.

179 arfa chance // Jul 3, 2011 at 6:32 PM

Personally instead of erding I would prefer to pay another 2-3 million for Remy. 13 million should do our eh niafron?

180 belfastmagpie87 // Jul 3, 2011 at 6:33 PM

i dont think chelsea would sell him, to a club in the top 6 m8.

181 MykToonFan // Jul 3, 2011 at 6:36 PM

@GeordieToon89

He was being sarcastic. Mocking the tweets of cwarr07, who said Ben Arfa was getting number 9 and that N’Zogbia & Gervinho were definitely signing for NUFC.

182 GeordieTwo // Jul 3, 2011 at 6:39 PM

I think Sturridge will eventually force Chelsea to sell him belfast if he doesn’t get into the first team this season. Then it comes down to who will spend the most to get him and unfortunately that won’t be us. Still would love to have him come. He definitely has tremendous desire to play unlike Ranger who can’t get himself out of bed. Pardew has spent a lot of time and effort going after Erding so I think we will eventually get him if the owner doesn’t penny pinch at the last minute.

183 GeordieTwo // Jul 3, 2011 at 6:44 PM

Niafron, swisstone, belfastmagpie and others I haven’t seen your predictions for where we will finish this coming season. I’m going on record for 9th. Higher up might be possible depending on injuries most of all. I’m interested to see how the back 4 do. Still unconvinced we have enough there. We should leave the likes of Stoke in our dust with our new attack (if they don’t succeed in kicking us off the pitch). Can’t wait to see Marveaux’s blistering pace.

184 GeordieToon89 // Jul 3, 2011 at 6:45 PM

aw a see MykToonFan – a thought it was weird cos douglas isnt normally like tht doesnt really say stuff like tht.. ad rather we payed extra for Doumbia than Erding but if we get Erding i will still be very happy hes a cracking player

185 niafron // Jul 3, 2011 at 6:47 PM

@arfa chance

No. Marseille have paid him 15 millions euros. They will claim more now with his excellent season’s end. and the player don’t want to leave. Marseille will play champions league next year.

And traditional’s Newcastle argument to persuade a player would be useless in this case, for Marseille got a 60 000 seats stadium, full each week, and the whole city is totaly mad about football.

There’s maybe a small chance, if Deschamps bring to the club the top striker he want. Like Gilardino. In this case, Rémy can feel himself pushed aside, for Deschamps have never showed him great signs of trust.

But there’s pure speculations, and honestly there’s almost no chance to sign him.

186 Andy // Jul 3, 2011 at 6:48 PM

Geordietwo i will go on record as it currently stands we’ll finish 10th. ACN will hurt us as we’ll lose Ba and Tiote and Tiote is an extremely hard player to replace, well he was last year. Hopefully Gosling can step up when he is away. Also hope Best continues the goalscoring form he had last year

187 niafron // Jul 3, 2011 at 6:52 PM

@G two

I prefer don’t make predictions before the end of the market.

However, i can say this: if you sign Sturridge, if Ben arfa have fully recover, if Barton stay and if all these guys mix well, i think you will catch the fourth place.

188 dickinsonjuniour // Jul 3, 2011 at 6:56 PM

if we sell barton best enrique and get like £20 we should put a £30million offer for both higuain and garay of real madrid both dont get first team football

189 dave 1961 // Jul 3, 2011 at 6:58 PM

best showed against west brom what a poor player he is he spent most of his time on the pitch flat on his back, if we go into the season with him as our second forward we will be very short on goals, he scored in 4 of the 12 games he played in.

190 gorskino10 // Jul 3, 2011 at 6:59 PM

GeordieToon89

Gamiero 09/2011
71
39

09/2011

65 (6 games less)
23 (16 Goals less)

Which 16 is ALOT of a difference thats more than Erdincs BEST season total, and this is for the last 2 SEASONS so Gamiero has scored over 1 season more in goals (if you take that from Erdincs 15 goal season)
or taking Erdincs record for last season Gamiero has 2 SEASONS more of goals (as Erdinc got 8 last season)

So would hardly say they have a similar record.

191 niafron // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:00 PM

Higuain is on the pitch the opposite of the kind of striker the club is aiming.

192 GeordieTwo // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:01 PM

Thanks Andy and niafron. Definite differences of opinion there but excellent points. Niafron if we get Sturridge that would push us up the table quite a bit. Yes the mix will be important with so many new players in the starting team. Andy yes the African Cup of Nations could be a problem for us as we have no replacement for Tiote and I don’t believe the rumours about Matuidi. Maybe with Barton and Cabaye in the middle when Tiote is away we can manage. That would definitely expose our back 4 though and there is a problem there with no decent depth at the back. This should be Kadar’s year to make an impression on Pardew. Also people like Tavernier a lot. I haven’t seen him enough to comment. Niafron if you could recommend one more player from France who most haven’t considered or don’t know about who would it be?

193 DJM TOON // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:06 PM

£20 for barton best and enrique… i’ll pay that and they can do my cleaning, ironing and cooking!

194 Andy // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:06 PM

The only time i’ve seen tavernier play was at about u16s as my brother was playing against them. He was the stand out player that day playing at rb. Seemed v attacking and a good cross but then again there is a huge difference between playing boys clubs and prem football. Would like to get Onuoha from City as I think he’s a v good player. He’d cost about £4-6m i reckon and would be better than Simpson who i do rate but needs competition as he looks too complacent at times

200 niafron // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:13 PM

There’s a lot…

There’s a review i ‘ve made this winter. Some infoàrmations are no more accurate, but well, it will give you some ideas…

“OK, those are actualy exciting player in France (price are my own personnal estimation, so don’t take that for accurate values). I mention generaly only young players:
GoalKeepers:
Hugo Loris, Lyon, about 10 to 15 millions euro, a prodigee.
Steve Mandada, Marseille, 8 to 10 mE.
Cedric Karasso, Bordeaux, 6 or 7 mE maybe.
Central defensor:
Sakho, Paris, at least 10 mE.
Spahic, Montpellier, 5 mE, i guess, maybe less with good bargain (he is 30 year old however but realy good and availlable i think.)
M’Bia, Marseille, 8 mE, a real mercenary, he will come without a doubt if well paid.
Ciani, Bordeaux, 5 mE maybe, good last season, got difficulty actualy.
Lovren, Lyon, 5 or six mE, i’m not sure. Gifted but got to prove himself.

Side defensors:
Jallet, Paris, maybe 8 to 10 mE.
Tremoulinas, Bordeaux, 5 to 8 mE.
Cissokho, Lyon, Traded from porto for 15 mE, you maybe got him for 10 to 12 mE or even less in the actual market.
Defensive midfields:
Chantome Paris, 10mE. Realy good.
Benoit Cheyrou, 6 mE. Not young, but availlable and realy excellent.
Pedretti, auxerre, 5 to 8 mE, old too (30) but good.
Cabaye, Lille, i will said 8 mE, maybe more, excellent.
Mavuba, Lille, about six or seven mE, the typical french defensive midfield (makelele clone).
Diarra (alou) bordeaux. 7 mE. Very physical, the french team captain.
marveaux (jorris) Montpellier, 5 to 10 mE, ain’t got a clue.
And our new superstar, M’villa, Rennes, at least 12 mE, probably more.

niafron // Jan 14, 2011 at 7:15 PM
Offensive midfield (most of them are very expansive, i put them just in case):
Left footed:
Nene, Paris, at least 20 millions considering the incredible season is actually doing.
Bastos, lyon, i think 15 mE, play left side defensor in Brazil national team.
Kim Kallstrom, Lyon, 8 mE, polyvalent, good, don’t play a lot, an ideal target.
Ayew (andre), Marseille, i think 10 to 15 mE.

Right footed:
Eden Hazard, the best player in France actualy (he is belgian and 20 years old), 25 to 30 mE (you can forget it…).
Payet saint étienne, 10 mE. Young and gifted.
Valbuena, Marseille, maybe less than 9 or 8 mE for his coach is not fond of him (neither am i, but he got a good reputation and i suppose you ‘ve seen him against England two month ago.)
Lucho Gonzales, Marseille, have join the club for 22 or 23 mE, you can maybe have him for less than 20 now for he have advanced in age. Realy good.
Gourcuff, Lyon, was traded last summer for 25 mE, supposed to be a genius, but i will not bet on him.

Forward:
Hoareau, Paris, about 15 mE. excellent in the air, the Carrol kind, so you don’t need him i guess.
Erding, Paris, about 10 to 12 mE, fast and perfect match to Hoareau so to Caroll equally i suppose.
Remy, marseille, traded this summer for 15 mE, but in difficulty now, so you can have him for 10 to 12 mE maybe, and believe me, he worth that. His coach (Deschamps) he’s just to stupid to put him in his right place (he actually play right midfield.)
Lisandro Lopez, Lyon, 20 mE (maybe 15), a superstar.
Gameiro, Lorient, 10 to 12 mE, but he is Valencia primary target, and have expressed the vow to reach this club. Excellent however.
Roux, Brest, 8 mE maybe, gifted and underestimated, so goog to sign.
Gervinho, Lille, 15 mE, maybe more, another good complement for Carrol.
Sow, Lille, 10 mE, the actual season leader of goal scored in the french championship. Maybe not a top star, but useful. Good target for NUFC.”

201 niafron // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:15 PM

@GG

Patience… As you have suggested, i need to go to St James at least one time.

202 GeordieTwo // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:16 PM

Andy from what I have heard from others Tavernier will push Simpson for the starting RB position this coming season. It’s brilliant to finally have some competition at several postions. Dave1961 I don’t see Best as anything more than fourth choice at striker if we get anyone decent in. I would sell Shola and Peter to Championship clubs or maybe Peter would go back to Scotland.

203 niafron // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:17 PM

RMC is considered the best sport’s (and especially football) radio in France.

204 niafron // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:22 PM

OK, got to go. THe Brazil play in half an hour, don’t want to miss that.

205 GeordieGerman “allez les gars!” // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:23 PM

niafron, I tell you mate, you go there once your life is going to get very expensive.

206 joppadoni // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:24 PM

niafron, you never been to a toon match?

where you from?

207 GeordieTwo // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:24 PM

Thanks for sending that out niafron, that’s excellent. Sakho looks fantastic at CB. Surely worth a bid. Why are we not in there for him? Your valuation of Erding is interesting. It looks like we might have to get closer to that to finally sign him. Many of the others are too expensive for us but would love to try for Sakho! You will love St. James Park niafron. If you go once you will want more of the same. It’s a fantastic addiction!

208 Magpies-till-d3ath // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:24 PM

Any1 think we should go for Lisandro! He’d be amazing and couldn’t come any more than £20 million. Remy would be class but I can’t see it happening!

209 kilcline // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:25 PM

@all twerps

Please follow Burnsie on Twitter, he will give you incredible insight into riding horses and also how to get the “gay” look this summer with his unreal hair style.

His dream is to get too 20 followers!!!!!! Amazing stuff.

ITS FRENCH JOURNOS ON TWITTER. ITS NOT BULLSHIT!!!! TYPE ”NUFC” INTO TWITTER SEARCH AND SEE FOR YOURSELVES………..

219 GeordieTwo // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:35 PM

How much is the bid burnsie do you know? He is only 18 so another risk. His height 6 ft 3 is interesting. A good finisher at lower levels esp. French U16 side (18 goals in 18 games!). Probable worth a chance. We should have an exciting reserve side with Moyo and Abeid already with us.

220 Andy // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:35 PM

Burnsie is it hell. Just been on l’equipe and rmc the 2 most respected sources and there isn’t a mention. Take it you’re getting it of that BPLTransfernews who is another guesser

221 Magpies-till-d3ath // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:36 PM

burnsie- put up the link

222 Hoppefot79 // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:36 PM

Sanogo? That’s a raw talent there like.. Well, if it’s off BPL on Twitter…

Long isn’t good enough, but Sanogo is? What an effin mad world this is.

226 BOOM BOOM THE 1ST // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:43 PM

It’s bollocks anyways GG just one of the twatter guessers doing what they do best .. Lie! Who are the journalists then Burnsie?

228 Magpies-till-d3ath // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:44 PM

GeordieGerman- No, it is a bit of a gamble but if it’s to get us to spend some friggin money, I want it to happen.

229 stuckdownsouth // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:44 PM

Bit late on the blog today as this is my first, not going to pretend I’ve read all the posts but enough to make me comment……

Ben Arfa will play as a striker next season in the withdrawn sense……like Berdo (hopefully)

230 GeordieGerman “allez les gars!” // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:50 PM

niafron, sorry if this offends you. but everybody has gone French mad here.

The rest of you compare Long’s and Sanogo’s stat’s. (Sad shake of head).

231 GeordieToon89 // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:57 PM

joppadoni – Niafron is from france mate

232 DJM TOON // Jul 3, 2011 at 7:57 PM

stuckdownsouth… agreed and he will be immense

233 GeordieToon89 // Jul 3, 2011 at 8:00 PM

hasnt Yaya Sanogo only made like 1 or 2 professional appearances? see he had a good record for France u16′s 18 in 18

234 GeordieGerman “allez les gars!” // Jul 3, 2011 at 8:04 PM

GeordieToon89, well spotted. 1 appearance. 0 goals. Ya effin hoo.

235 GeordieGerman “allez les gars!” // Jul 3, 2011 at 8:05 PM

then again he’s French, Long isn’t.

236 kunal // Jul 3, 2011 at 8:09 PM

anybody watching brazil vs venenzuela

pato—neymar—robinho

should be absolutely fantastic

237 Hoppefot79 // Jul 3, 2011 at 8:11 PM

Well at least Sanogo has a great stat in youth level, not unlike Chopra & to an extent – Ranger. How tall is he, 6,4? Could have something to offer.

238 JAMSHA // Jul 3, 2011 at 8:13 PM

Hoppefot79, yeah OK give him a trail. But with Long I’m talking about a proven “kick em if they get within kicking range) championship player. Where as Sanogo is what? Handbags at 11 paces?

241 DJM TOON // Jul 3, 2011 at 8:19 PM

just another attention seeker,if you ask me.

245 GeordieToon89 // Jul 3, 2011 at 8:24 PM

must say id rather Long than Sanogo cost around same price..and Long is atleast proven in england albeit in championship a think he could do a job for us with the service he would get ad imagine he’d get 15+ a season

246 Hoppefot79 // Jul 3, 2011 at 8:25 PM

That guy @ Wolves, used to play for Reading… Blond striker… How much would he cost?

250 ilovetoon8788 // Jul 3, 2011 at 8:31 PM

If we can’t get Erding, Shane Long would be fantastic. I hope we go for him!

251 GeordieToon89 // Jul 3, 2011 at 8:32 PM

if i could sign one player from the Championship it would be Lewis Mcgugan .. he is a real talent and is english.. obv if he signed he would need to learn french

252 dmac // Jul 3, 2011 at 8:32 PM

Doyle is rubbish, Long is worth a shot if he is cheap not worth paying over the odds for.

253 GeordieGerman “allez les gars!” // Jul 3, 2011 at 8:34 PM

Erding and Long if Best is sold.

254 GeordieToon89 // Jul 3, 2011 at 8:35 PM

Lewis Mcgugan:
39 games started.. 13 goals and 12 assists

260 GeordieGerman “allez les gars!” // Jul 3, 2011 at 8:44 PM

Found out myself 2008 and Long was there.

261 CynicalasEva // Jul 3, 2011 at 8:45 PM

I see we still are thinking as accountants – ‘only if he is cheap’, ‘not worth the money’ – is a common thread in numerous posts. Will you be applying the same logic when it comes to tickets, pies and merchandise? Didnt think so – 52000 to turn up to watch a team of untried player with the max value of 5M but still willing to pay through the nosae for the privilige – Fatash laughing all the way to the bank

262 Hoppefot79 // Jul 3, 2011 at 8:47 PM

CynicalasEva, or of course we could all happily pay over the odds to watch £17 million + to watch the likes of Owen. It’s like electric goods. You can get some decent stuff cheap and some crap expensive. Other way round to. But you can’t compare them till you’ve used them.

287 Andy // Jul 3, 2011 at 9:13 PM

Milner he’s getting sent down for rape last i heard of him. Good player though and the asking price is £2m. If he doesn’t get sent down he’s worth a go

288 Milner // Jul 3, 2011 at 9:13 PM

sorry, found it now:

Rangers’ interest in Dundee United striker David Goodwillie appears to be cooling, at least for now.

The Ibrox club had a bid of £1m for the 22-year-old rejected by United last week, but it seems certain that they will now focus on other targets.

Cardiff City are favourites to land Scotland’s young player of the year and appear willing to meet the £2m asking price set by chairman Stephen Thompson.

Goodwillie is contracted to the Tannadice club until May 2013.

He is on tw@tter trying to act all humble sorry to fans i was out boxxed blah. If he had kept quiet before people may be more sympathetic.

How many boxers have taken Wlad the full way? Any boxer that does that is a good boxer. Wlad is a good boxer yes but Haye is technically better and more entertaining. Wlad is boring but effective am not taking anything away from him but anyone saying Haye is sh*t is being a idiot imo

Of course Haye came out spouting stuff it was mind games from a boxer. He was disrespected by Wlad for months so why wouldnt he come out talking?

309 GeordieToon89 // Jul 3, 2011 at 9:32 PM

Klitchko was the better boxer hence how Haye couldnt get near him and when he got a good shot on him, Kiltchko just powered with a few left rights.. yes haye can say all this about not being 100% and all tht crap but he just simply wasnt upto the challenge on the night itself, he wasnt attacking him enough.. as soon as Klitchko threw the jab haye should of been jumpin round with a hook on the chin.. hes got the pace and the power to do it he just didnt

310 eaststandgeordie1982 // Jul 3, 2011 at 9:32 PM

Haha he though he was in dunston when he woke up

311 WWJBD // Jul 3, 2011 at 9:32 PM

That punch was brilliant

Second bout wasent much to write home about though

312 GeordieToon89 // Jul 3, 2011 at 9:33 PM

Klitchko is Ukrainian not russian why celebrate lmao?

313 WWJBD // Jul 3, 2011 at 9:34 PM

GT89
I agree Haye should of taken the fight to Wlad more when he was dancing around most of his punches but he kept holding back until it was way to late

314 eaststandgeordie1982 // Jul 3, 2011 at 9:34 PM

I think haye is a good boxer he was just shite last nite

315 GeordieToon89 // Jul 3, 2011 at 9:36 PM

Haye is defo not sh*te, he just wasnt upto it on the night.. a still think if they was a rematch and if Haye actually performed to his 100% best he would either knock him out or get it stopped.. hes far too quick he just needs to be out of Wlads reach and use his feet to jump and hook inbetween Wlads jabs

316 GeordieToon89 // Jul 3, 2011 at 9:36 PM

a should train him ha

Andy Carroll in trouble again …

IT WAS never going to be plain sailing when boozy bad boy England star Andy Carroll took his family on a luxury yachting holiday.

And sure enough, the voyage on the French Riviera turned into a drunken mutiny as the Geordie striker gave his half brother one in the eye-aye.

Carroll Ship of nightmares… Carroll and yacht EMPICS Sport

In the ensuing punch-up, £35 million Liverpool ace Carroll decked Mark Simmonds then sank his teeth into his THUMB as other family members joined in the rum do aboard the chartered £20,000-a- week Indulgence of Poole.

It ended with furious Carroll, 22, ordering battered Mark and his wife Irene, 31, off the boat in the middle of the night. Then he flew everyone else home by private jet next day leaving the couple stranded in the South of France.

They only got back to Newcastle after borrowing money from the yacht’s first mate who handed over some of the £450 tip Carroll had given him.

“I’m still in shock,” Mark, 33, told our source. “Andy just turned on me. I could feel his thumb at the back of my eye and it felt like it was going to pop out.

Carroll

Carroll Horrific… injuries to half-brother Mark

“He turned on my wife too. Just days earlier we had all enjoyed a lovely meal on board.”

Carroll arranged the family holiday at the end of the season to celebrate becoming Britain’s most expensive footballer after his move from Newcastle to Merseyside.

He took Mark and his other half brother Stephen along, together with Irene and Stephen’s fiancee Leah. Carroll’s girlfriend Stacey Miller, his dad Thomas and mum Susan, mother to his half-brothers, were also on the private jet to Nice in May. Then they all boarded the 85-foot yacht – complete with four staff – for a seven-day Riviera cruise.

Carroll Before the bust-up… Carroll and family

Our source says: “They were all happy. Andy had never treated his family to a holiday together before.”

But, after visiting the Monaco Grand Prix, Cannes and St Tropez, motorway workman Mark suggested everyone should give Carroll and Stacey, 23, time alone together. Our source says: “The rest of the family thought it would seem ungrateful if they just wandered off without Andy.

“On their final day, there was a frosty atmosphere. The silent treatment was so bad Mark and Irene stayed on board while the rest went out in Nice for their last night.”

When they returned at 2.30am, it all kicked off. “Mark asked Leah why nobody was speaking to them,” says our source. “Andy told Mark to leave her alone.

Carroll Brawl at sea… Carroll holiday turned sour Xposurephotos.com

“Before long Andy was punching Mark and Mark was grabbing Andy’s hair. Then Andy pinned Mark to the side of the boat and stuck his thumb in his eye.

“Mark tried to fend him off and bit his thumb. Then Andy’s dad pinned Mark down while Stephen started punching his brother.

“Andy bit Mark’s thumb in revenge. Their mum Susan had to prise Andy off.” Carroll then ordered Mark and Irene off the boat. Our source says: “He was yelling, ‘F*** off back to your scumbag friends, your scumbag house and your scumbag lives. Where are you going to go? You’ve got no money – you’ll soon come crawling back with your tail between your legs.’”

Mark hadn’t enough money for flights home – so he rang the yacht’s first mate who later gave him some of Carroll’s tip. Our source says: “He had seen the fight and said he wanted to help ‘good people’. When Mark got home he tried to play it all down – but he was covered in cuts and bruises and had a septic thumb.” A concerned friend gave the News of the World pictures of his wounds.

Carroll has a history of violence. He had to pay £11,000 to a girl he attacked outside a club in 2008 and was fined £1,000 for gashing another clubber’s face in 2009. In 2010, a training ground incident at Newcastle left team-mate Steven Taylor with a broken jaw. Signing for Liverpool, Carroll said: “I have made mistakes but they are behind me.”

A source close to the player said: “The brothers did have a disagreement and Mark was asked to leave the yacht.

“Perhaps it wasn’t settled in the most friendly of ways, but there are two sides to every story. Andy doesn’t feel he’s the one in the wrong.”

318 WWJBD // Jul 3, 2011 at 9:38 PM

haha then I direct you towards my 1 question, if he was so shite last night how was it that Wlad couldnt knock him out in 12 rounds?

The man has won by TKO 50ish times yet he couldnt knock a ‘shite’ boxer out?

319 belfastmagpie87 // Jul 3, 2011 at 9:38 PM

10 million for shane long then.
would of bought him at 5 mil,10 million is way to much.

320 eaststandgeordie1982 // Jul 3, 2011 at 9:38 PM

So he was shite on the nite is what your saying

321 GeordieToon89 // Jul 3, 2011 at 9:38 PM

wonder whats the odds on Carroll only lasting max 2 years at liverpool before being chucked out

322 Andy // Jul 3, 2011 at 9:40 PM

What sort of concerned friend sends pictures to the NOTW haha. Take him to the hospital yes, send photos though?

323 WWJBD // Jul 3, 2011 at 9:40 PM

GT89

Aye again I agree I think he bottled it a bit but whether his toe did hinder his ability to fully push on at the speed he normally would we will never really know.

I cant see him getting a rematch though so I can see him retiring now

324 patty518 // Jul 3, 2011 at 9:40 PM

Did anyone else watching that video of erding think they were watching a video of the White oba martins? Tricky, pacey and likes a shot from anywhere with minimal success?! Hmmmmm would prob be exciting to watch but for me, Defoe has to be best option! Granted wages would be an issue but he scores goals! With our attacking talent we need an out and out finisher. He would be perfect for the number 9.
Shane long is not worth 10m! Never done it in prem and had one decent season in champ! So did ebanks Blake couple years back. He scored 35 I think but struggled in prem massively.
Problem any club has in signing a striker is that the proven prem ones cost big bucks.

325 GeordieToon89 // Jul 3, 2011 at 9:40 PM

Haye wasnt sh*te last night he just wasnt focussed enough and wasnt using his ability to expose Wlad at every opportunity he had.. he proved he could hit him when he cut him under his eye and next to his nose he just wasnt consistant enough and when he was it was too late

326 WWJBD // Jul 3, 2011 at 9:42 PM

No am asking how you can say he was shite when he lasted 12 rounds with a man who is known for knocking boxers out

How can anyone say he was shite? If he was he would of been TKOd in round 1

327 GeordieToon89 // Jul 3, 2011 at 9:42 PM

a dont think he’l get a rematch neither but a could see him getting a fight against Vitali who imo is a better fighter than Wlad.. older yes but wiser

328 Nick 69 // Jul 3, 2011 at 9:42 PM

anyone who knows anything about boxing at all know Haye is clearly the better and more skilled boxer. But he was up against a giant, who had a solid game plan which he stuck to. He was giving away 2 stone FFS, just because he lost doesnt mean he is sh!te and doesnt mean Klitschko is the better boxer. At the end of the day Flloyd Mayweather would lose against a lot of the super middleweight division etc, but that wouldn’t make them better boxers.

They both had a gameplan, and both stuck to it, and Wlad’s gameplan was the one that worked.

And GeordieToon89 its ok you sittin in your armchair shouting Haye should of just jumped round and hooked him when he through the jab, but im guessing that when you’ve got a 17+ stone man jabbing you in the face from 81 inches away, its a little more difficult

329 WWJBD // Jul 3, 2011 at 9:47 PM

I thought Vitali said he would only fight Haye if Haye had beaten Wlad? Might be remembering wrong like

Aye Nick69 thats what am trying to get at, I have a issue with people saying Haye was sh*t last night because he wasent he just didnt get the win.

IF we sign all our target’s does anyone think that Pardew is the right man to take us forward???

352 belfastmagpie87 // Jul 3, 2011 at 10:05 PM

i would be happy if we finished top ten this year.

2 4th round beat off arsenal
3 4th round beat off arsenal lol

354 WWJBD // Jul 3, 2011 at 10:06 PM

I reckon 10/11th league finish, Semis in the league cup and we wont bother with the FA (like this season) because by that time injuries will of hit us and we will have 6 1st teamers out

355 Andy // Jul 3, 2011 at 10:06 PM

JB it’s a v good question but i don’t think we can judge him yet. This season is his big chance to show us his intentions. Would love it if we played some good attacking football and finished 8th/9th with a decent league cup run. There is no reason we can’t win the league cup.

Jb if pards delivers attacking football weve took a massive step forwards i hope he can do it lets face it we wont get a big name manager so lets get behind pards all the way and chant for the team at games instead of people protesting against ashley pi55es me off at games just support the team ffs

Pardew is a decent enough managers so far I really hope he keeps that up next season I think he could be a good thing for NUFC if all goes well

I think he got a feel for what he could be to us during the West Brom game when the level 7 lads chanted for him…probably the first time he felt accepted by St James

Apart from his age (26) what’s preventing Valbuena from playing on a bigger stage ? He looks like an all round player and a “right sided” HBA. NUFC could certainly use his talents but why isnt he being linked with moves away from Marseille ?

Hopefully with the singing section being split up it’ll leave more singers dotted about the stadium to really get the atmosphere going. It’s not been the same for years and we need to make SJP into a fortress again. We should fear nobody at home and they should fear coming into a full 52,000 screaming fanatical crowd. Here’s hoping!
Also Pardew seems to me that he is a bit of an egotistical guy the way he talks about people sometimes. All the best managers are, atm anyway Mourinho, Wenger, Ferguson

373 eaststandgeordie1982 // Jul 3, 2011 at 10:15 PM

We lost a 3 nil lead to a team we are on par with while Pardew was in charge

Arsenal lost a 4 nil lead to a team they are far better than while Wenger was in charge

That means Pardew is a better manager than Wenger

Players lose matches not managers am afraid only bad sub Pardew made was Smith during the West Brom match imo

382 samag // Jul 3, 2011 at 10:23 PM

my massiveness is so massive.

pardew has bitten off more than he can chew when it comes to the newcastle job. he he’s lucky he’s got such a high profile job. not in a million years would we have him here. But here he is and he’ll need our support more.

It can only come from the fans as AP has no idea about who is going where in the transfers and likely he knows even less about the players. Thats been left to carr no doubt. Can’t image who’d look at erding seriously tho.

here’s hoping our well covered midfield ship 25 goals between them.

389 09nufc09 // Jul 3, 2011 at 10:29 PM

Davybtoon… Jose is in newcastle and will be in training tomorowaccording to the ne journos. Jose said he wanted cl if he leaves newcastle so liverpool is not an option if thats the case. Liverpool will not qualify for the cl with the quality of player they are signing, henderson is shocking and there best players bar suarez are on the way out. I think carroll will suffer alot of injuries because when he jumps he lands very heavy and his legs were already suffering last season. Man u, man city, chelsea and arsenal for the cl and its out of alot of clubs for euro lg.

390 WWJBD // Jul 3, 2011 at 10:30 PM

“Players lose matches not managers am afraid only bad sub Pardew made was Smith during the West Brom match imo”

393 Spike // Jul 3, 2011 at 10:35 PM

I think Pardieu is owned by Ashley for his gambling debts.

Does what he is told, says what he is told to. I wish he would shut up sometimes though.

A couple of bad results he could get the boot, but with his 5 and a half year contract that he went on about for a couple of months he would probably get a couple of thousand pound pay off

394 WWJBD // Jul 3, 2011 at 10:36 PM

AndyMac

Actually plans. formations and a bit of luck often win matches. Managers make up the plans and formations players often get lost on the pitch which ends in losses. Managers cant go out on the pitch during the game to win a match….unless you watch a different version of football to me mate

And I quite like the muppets ta (Animal was my favourite if your that interested) but no I never starred in the show am afraid

Alan smith changed the wba game, hes the worst player we have including perch lol.
When your defenders are used to tiote infront of them who always stays on his feet, it is a shock when smith comes on and spends more time on his arse than on his feet. He came on with about 5 mins to go in a game last season and i bet the lad next to me he would get booked before the whistle, within 2 mins he was booked and give away a freekick on the edge of the box. Shocking.

397 hitman // Jul 3, 2011 at 10:40 PM

398 Spike // Jul 3, 2011 at 10:43 PM

Alan Smith is the new Nicky Buttcheek.

All they can do is bring someone down on the edge of the box, get booked and give away a free kick.

At least, that’s my perception
