Newcastle’s new number 9 is Papiss Cisse joined Newcastle on Tuesday in a whirlwind deal from Bundesliga club SC Freiburg for an undisclosed fee, but it is thought to be £10M.
Papiss Cisse – at St. James’ Park on Tuesday
Great Newcastle strikers of the past who have worn the number 9 shirt include Hughie Gallagher, Jackie Milburn, Malcolm MacDonald, Andy Cole and Alan Shearer – heroes every one of them.
And Alan Pardew has said that he doesn’t think that Cisse understands just how important the shirt is, or just how much pressure he will be under when he comes to Newcastle in mid-February following the African Cup of Nations.
There were bits of his interview in the previous article but here is the full interview the Senegal international gave before he jetted back to Africa to rejoin the Senegal squad.
“It is an honor to play for such a big club and I am looking forward to it,” “First of all, I would like to give good value for money for the people who brought me here.
“I want to pay back the confidence the Club have shown in me, and give the supporters something to be proud of.”
“I am a goalscorer, and that is the thing which gives me the most pleasure. But it is also important that I help my teammates and bring something to the team.
“Primarily though, my major strength is my goalscoring.” “I am aware of the importance of the number nine shirt, and when I spoke with the manager he made it very clear how important this shirt is.”
“I will treat it with the respect and I hope to do my very best in this shirt.” “I spoke with the coach of Senegal and was pleased that he allowed me to come here and join the Club,”
“Obviously it is great for me that I will be with my colleague Demba, who plays with me for Senegal, so I am hopeful that we can form a great partnership.”
Alan Pardew was interviewed on nufcTV and I was going to put the video out, but you need to have a subscription to see it.
I wish on these very important occasions the club would just put the interviews out so all Newcastle fans could hear what Alan had to say.
Alan said it should show the fans that Newcastle mean business, and that as soon as Andy Carroll was sold to Liverpool this man was top of the list, but Newcastle simply couldn’t afford him last summer.
And Alan the politician turned it all around and said that players like Leon Best, Shola Ameobi, Peter Lovenkrands and Ben Arfa now had to step up to the plate to show what they can do for Newcastle before these lads come back from Africa.
And that should start with Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon.
I couldn’t have said it any better.
What a motivator Alan Pardew seems to be, and we think his performance as Newcastle manager over the last year has convinced Mike Ashley that Alan knows just exactly what he’s doing.
And the owner had backed his judgement big time today.
Howay The Lads!!

That shouldn’t take too long!
Absolutely over the moon with this signing! Where the hell did this come from! Actually I don’t care, just glad we’ve got our new No. 9! Long live the Demba’s!
HWTL!

Hi guys, some quick stats.
Over the last 6 seasons the AVERAGE points needed for 6th place is 61 points.
That would mean in our remaining 17 games we would need 25 points:
7W 4D 6L = 25 points.
PPG = 1.47
We can certainly dream about Europe points, not as far away as we might think.

Any of you boffins out there able to track down Cisse and Ba’s goal scoring exploits for Senegal?

Shola is the new first, you heard it here … well … Shola.
10 Ponderous Pardew // Jan 17, 2012 at 11:58 PM
Simply ecstatic. Let’s take the league by storm!
11 PUMMELLER // Jan 18, 2012 at 12:00 AM
All the Shola bashing has left me going to bed annoyed when we should all be happy that we have signed a fantastic striker.
Be under no illusions..this boy can play and will form a great partnership with Demba no1..
If you watched the QPR game and you know and understand football you would be able to see Shola did his job and helped us retain the ball well. We could have played better and will do with the two Dembas..but all this bashing is so childish
Anyways..rant over and to all the real NUFC fans . . . the march forward continues and is picking up speed.
Cissoko is needed and a young quality CB and top 6 will be sorted…
12 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 12:02 AM
We could turn out to have one of the leagues most feared strikeforce.. Demba–Ba–Benny
13 Miserable Now // Jan 18, 2012 at 12:02 AM
Just come back from the boozer and one of the lads with us was a Mackem-
he was absolutely gutted about this signing happening as a lot of 5under1and fans really thought he was going to sign for them.
We didn’t wind him up at all!

The best thing is, him and Ba should know how to play together, since they both play with senegal.

20 Beattie25 // Jan 18, 2012 at 12:07 AM
I think Ed has hit the nail on the head there.
Maybe Mike didn’t want to splash the cash until he was confident he had the right man for the job.
He didn’t like Fat Sam, didn’t trust Keegan, Joke Kinnear was a stop gap, Chris Hughton was under qualified and Pardew has had to prove he is the right man for the job.
Will it now be a case of ‘Mike this player is great, lets get him!’ and Ashley thinks Pardew knows what he is talking about.
On a much leeser scale if I had a tenner to spend I would only give it to someone I trusted could get me a return before handing it out.
Come on Mike spend another 10 and you’ll get it all back in Europe!!!!

21 Brutooon // Jan 18, 2012 at 12:07 AM
Shola Ameobi is a good Example for young and new players coming
because
Manager and Coach want to avoid players to be a Shola Ameobi (Lazy, Slow and Inconsistent)
22 LenDixon // Jan 18, 2012 at 12:08 AM

We should sell Smith, Loverkrands, Shola and bring in Onuoha who would be good cover for rb and cb.

Brutoon…must be a mackem?
what you think guys?
1) would explain the bitterness wouldnt it?
2) would explain him not understanding football?
3) and most importantly…
would explain him being a tw@t…
28 GeordieToon89 // Jan 18, 2012 at 12:15 AM
One last thing quick stat:
Ba – 37 goals in 97 games for Hoffenheim(good team)
Cisse – 37 in 65 games for Freiberg(poor team)
Both German teams so going on those records Cisse could really take the premier league by storm and score even more than we would expect :\ 20 this season and 35 next haha =]

this hopely will signal collo and guthrie and simpson to sign new deals also i think there will be a couple more yet to come in a cb at least but i also think we are going for that cisokko kid if the moneys right ,the good thing is we are offering cool cash ,but if we only get a cb i will still be delighted ,in the summer if we identify another 2 top quality players at good value we have to be considered contenders if we can keep our current squad
32 Beattie25 // Jan 18, 2012 at 12:20 AM
f**k it, lets get Moussa Sow n’all
33 Brutooon // Jan 18, 2012 at 12:21 AM
Would you prefer:
1) playing Ameobi week in week out and we will struggle around 10-14 position in the league
OR
2) playing both Demba and we will at least get 6 position and above (maybe get a decent run in the cup)
34 Brutooon // Jan 18, 2012 at 12:23 AM
lets MOVE FORWARD
1) forget the past (Shola Ameobi missed chances etc)
and look forward to
2) Demba Ba and Demba Cisse hundreds of GOALS !!!!!!

How much for your Granny LenDixon.
One Feeking signing and we want to sell the old silver.
Put it in a cupboard and bring it out in special occasions. Like Sunderland, I’m sorry to bring your Granny into this but SHOLA is here for keeps. Like someone said he’s our little luxury.
37 Miserable Now // Jan 18, 2012 at 12:26 AM
His middle name is Rodney you know-

38 PUMMELLER // Jan 18, 2012 at 12:26 AM
Brutoon..
You have been going on and on about Ameobi for hours…
He is playing cos there is no other option at the moment…and of course we all want the Dembas playing as i said in my last post, we will play so much better with the two of them in the team..but Shola is doing his job well in their absence
Can you please talk about something positive..??

Pummeller – to spare you the madness that comes with trying to reason with Brutooon. Many brave men have tread that perilous path and only come back more traumatised and bereft of hope for all humanity than before.
He is an obsessive, a Jos De May painting, an enigma without rhyme or reason, an ‘excellent driver’. There is nothing there for you my son.

Brutooon,
I think the Lady doth protest too much did you watch the Man U game… Shola was…well…. really effing good!
1) the first goal by Demba Ba was from a header by Shola Ameobi. What you didnt know that Shola want to head it to Cabaye but “mispass” to Demba Ba which result in the goal. that goal is 100% Demba Ba and not Shola Ameobi
2) 2nd and 3rd goal there is no contribution by Shola Ameobi
53 boater // Jan 18, 2012 at 12:50 AM
Brutooon – the same Stoke who turned down Ba?
You see, I’m doing it. He lures you in to his dark little Shola-bashing world like a spider with a fly. He should read the above statement and think maybe – just maybe- that undermines Stoke’s judgement, but he won’t. He doesn’t bother with critical reasoning. Obsession is a cold hearted beast that doesn’t parlay with reason. No time to waste, there are placards to build, nooses to tie, witches to burn. I smell a lynching tonight boys.

Boater
Thanks for the advice.
Reading tonight cos we have signed the perfect foil for Ba and the man i have wanted since we first got linked with him and i watched him play…and instead of talking about him all the talk is about Shola!!
I supported NUFC before Shola and will do after him too and i love the guy for what he has done…a proper geordie and a legend.
I will have to agree to disagree i suppose??
56 Brutooon // Jan 18, 2012 at 12:56 AM
boater :
Stoke refuse to sign Demba Ba because of his injury records
Stoke refuse to sign Shola Ameobi (after playing 6 games for them) because he is S H I T
sorry mate, there are two different scenarios
57 Faraz // Jan 18, 2012 at 12:56 AM
After ACON:
Krul
Simpson – colo – willo – santon
Cabaye – tiote – gutierrez
Arfa – Cisse – Ba
That midfield will out-run anyone and with those 3 up top…. 4-3-3- is the way to go
58 jayphoto // Jan 18, 2012 at 12:57 AM
jeeeeeesus brutoon! We make our most exciting signing and statement of intent arguably since Michael Owen signed (I know that didn’t work out but man we were excited when he signed) and all you can go on about is shola ameobi?? Sad dude. Very sad!
59 jayphoto // Jan 18, 2012 at 12:59 AM
On another note…anyone else Senegal get spanked in Africa but with demba and demba getting some goals??
60 tdt // Jan 18, 2012 at 12:59 AM
I think Pardew might go with HBA on the right wing against Fulham in a 442. Providing he’s fit I also think Cabaye partner Guthrie in central midfield and itll be best and shola up front again. Jonas on the left. Back 5 picks itself. What do you guys think?
Of course after ACN it’ll be the same but sway best and shola with Ba and Cisse, and swap Guthrie with Tiote.
61 PUMMELLER // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:00 AM

he is like a child after attention though
the only way to get him to shut up is to ignore him
hard to resist though aint it when someone is so annoying and pigheaded
62 mikeashleyisamackem // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:00 AM
are yous still going on about shola he is our fourth striker every club needs one he can do a job for us in say 10 to 15 starts per year personally i would keep him for the big games as seemingly thats when he turns up ,youve gotta play him against the mackems coz he always scores so surely that is a reason enough to get people off his back ,he has won us a few derbys so some fans should show some respect coz like it or lump it shola will go down in history with some great goals against are poorly neibours and hes never complained never really stepped outta line ,with shola he s a bit like heskey its not his goals its ability to link midfield with attack which allows a team to play as a team get it ,if all people are gonna do is slate him al knack yas when i see ya\s ,it was obertan last week ,get a life or go back to supporting sunderland a, am sure a fan is soposed to support am i not right there yeah every one has an opinion its just as well that every manager who has ever managed this guy rates him so what does that tell ya
63 Jinky Jim // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:01 AM
Just a giddyup for MA. Chelsea and Liverpool spent 75million on two strikers, MA has spent 10million on the premier leagues best strike force. Not to mention Tiote,Cabaye,Abied,Santon.Marveaux and Oberton (woops)
for another13.5 million.
I think the owner should be given some slack and if he sells Strolla he should be given the keys to the city. By the way nothing against Strolla, he seems a nice kid but he just doesn’t make the grade. It’s not his fault that he gets picked or signs a new contract.
looking forward to mid Feb HBA,Tiote,Cabaye,Santon,Colo,Marveaux, oh yeh and a bloody great B double !
64 Brutooon // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:02 AM
Good News : we sign Papis Demba Cisse
Better News : Shola Ameobi will be on the Bench watching Demba Ba score 30 goals and Demba Cisse score 35 goals
65 soundoid // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:02 AM
Shola had no influence on the 3rd because he wasn’t on the pitch, Best forced the 3rd home goal by Jones and I would say that the 2nd was influenced by Shola’s positional play.
Look mate I like Shola, you don’t .I’m never going to make you see what I think he brings to the Team. In the same way I’m never going to see why you think he’s so crap.
HWTL…..
I am Shola’s agent by the way. Next month he is avalible for childrens partys weddings etc…
66 Brutooon // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:04 AM
Shola did an OK job but whats wrong with giving that slot to a BETTER player who can do TRIPLE what Shola’s did
Shola as 4th or 5th striker would be fine for me. Plus he is on his end of football career
67 corktoon88 // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:04 AM
Honestly gutted local lad shola never got no.9/ so much service and gets slated by some fans? So unfair on the proud geordie,ppl shud be ashamed for slating a legend
68 PUMMELLER // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:05 AM
Jinky Jim
much more sensible assessment of Shola
doesnt always make the grade as you say but he does try his best , he does understand what it means to play for the toon and he does care
much more than could be said for others in his time that many will have backed (ie) owen / martins / kluivert
69 ToonDownSouth // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:05 AM

Second goal, spot on – the run Shola made dragged the defender away. People like brutoon don’t notice unless it’s all goals and stepovers though :/

Could people please stop referring to Papiss as Demba, mightily confusing. As I said earlier, his name should be “Dave”, as his middle name is Rodney.
73 PapaToon // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:08 AM
Its a combination of things that we have got Papiss now. Its not just Pardew that convinced MA to buy him. Carr and the other souting staff and management have a role to play in it. We wouldnt get this player in the summer, unless we paid ridiculous money. why would a player want to come to a mid table club unless they were getting paid obscene money (generally the case). Its easier to attract players when your near the top of the table, just look at the Bobby Robson era same situation happened then.
We have a plan for the past 3 years and we are sticking to it. When the team is doing well no mentions MA being a A hole. soon as the team, struggles hes the target.
I thing scouting wise we have overtaken, the PL clubs to pick up the value for money buys.
Its Brilliant!
74 ToonDownSouth // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:08 AM

All I heard in my head when someone says the name Rodney is Trigger saying “You alright Dave?”

Lets forget about the Shola Ameobi thing
did you guys watch Demba Cisse goals/skills??
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNXIy0XcBR0&feature=player_embedded
10 times better than our no 23 shirt (whoever he is)
76 PUMMELLER // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:13 AM
Thats more like it Brutoon..
I have been watching Cisse alot since the summer and he has everything in his locker..much the same as Ba.
He hasnt got as much of an allround game but is a deadly finisher and has a better record than Ba did in Germany and Cisse for the QPR of the German league!!
Not expecting him to be AS deadly as Ba but he will be soooo much better than Best or that shitty Shola fella i have seen kicking around the place..lol
77 LewSpi // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:14 AM
Haha TDS, I’m exactly the same.
78 boater // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:15 AM
Mikeashleyisamackem – “with shola he s a bit like heskey its not his goals its ability to link midfield with attack which allows a team to play as a team get it”
That is spot on. A basic tactical observation but one which somehow a ataggering amount of supporters fail to grasp. 1st/2nd half against Blackburn was a prime example. Shola came on and we had shape all of a sudden. People see the scuffed shot and write him off. Easy target.
Brutoon- we have got the new, shiny goalscorer today and so shola is 3rd/4th choice, so why are you still whinnying like a mule?
79 jayphoto // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:15 AM
Brutoon man you’re the only 1, mentioning shola!? What’s your problem? He turn you down for a date or something? On a lighter note, geez our club is good at keeping things on the lowdown! When was the last time we signed a player the press knew about? Its always out of the blue!
80 soundoid // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:15 AM
ToonDownSouth,
I seem to remember our last No9 doing the same thing, he used to drag defenders away or interchange and be the big lump to lay off the ball. At liverpool he just looks like a traveller who lost his flip flops.
Well no way back for Carrol now.
81 Beattie25 // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:16 AM
Berbatov – Lazy
Chamakh – Useless
Bendtnar – Cr*p
Carroll – Sh*te
Jerome – Donkey
Crouch – Freak
Saha – Dodgey
Heskey – Bad Tekkers
Davies – Dirty
Rodellega – Bollox
Ameobi = Combination of all the above but he is a proud Geordie who has served this club well. He is one of our own who will continue to do a job for us.
Knees bent, arm stretched ra ra ra
Good night
82 ToonDownSouth // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:17 AM
A few of the goals there are stunning. Absolute rocket of a left foot!
83 LewSpi // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:18 AM
Beattie, I’ve been thinking about your Darlo idea and have came up with an alternative solution, if the rules state you cant own two clubs in the same country.
One word: Hearts.
84 soundoid // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:21 AM
As Fabio Cappello said the game is about where you are when you don’t have the ball. And as Kevin Keegan said it’s a much harder game to play when you don’t have the ball.
85 jayphoto // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:21 AM
be interesting to see how Ben arfa fits in now?! Surely webwont play a number 10 with demba and demba? Although Ba is excellent on the left too! Someones gonna be left out can’t help feeling itl be Benny!
86 PUMMELLER // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:21 AM

Well said. And he actually gives us something that other players don’t – he can play with his back to goal. He’s strong, good in the air and links up play in the final third. And has done for some time now. He’s never been a prolific goalscorer, and never will, but I and many others have known that for a long time! Annoying to see it being dragged up again and again. Everyone’s entitled to their opinions, of course, but the way some people have expressed them – eg completely slagging him off and name calling when he’s been a true servant to the club for over a decade (I think) is really quite saddening.
91 PUMMELLER // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:29 AM
Reminds me of Ba in the way he is always looking to just smash one away…they are gonna be arguing over Penalties too by the looks of it…not that we ever get em given!!
Not sure on the plan for Ben Arfa to be honest..unless we tell him that he is a RW now..still worse problems to have that worrying about where to put him eh?
Could be worrying about Nicolas Bendtner being your goal threat?? haha
92 jayphoto // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:30 AM
Lewspi – that looks great! Reckon he’s gonna stick to 4-4-2 tho!personally id love to see a 4-1-2-1-2 diamond with tiote holding, Guthrie and cabaye Central and Benny behind the dembas!
93 Brutooon // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:31 AM
Pummeller : Hatem Ben Arfa should be given one of the wings where he play there majority of his career (and did win some french league trophies)
94 PUMMELLER // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:34 AM
You guys are leaving out Guti and he has been immense this year..mainly defensively but all part of the game!!
Maybe play your team Jayphoto for the Mackem game and do them 6-1 this year?
Hat-tricks for the Demba’s?
95 jayphoto // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:34 AM
Brutoon – Ben arfa left Marseille and Lyon because he didn’t want to play on the wing! He agreed to come here because he was promised a Central role! If he plays too much out wide he’ll kick off!

Pummeller, id have shola against the mackems! He’s the mackem slayer
97 gonz // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:37 AM
I have to totally agree with PUMMELLER’s comment #11 about Shola Ameobi. I too was at the game with QPR and Shola was good on the day, he holds the ball up so well and links others up nicely. If you noticed it was his contol in mid-air that really set up the goal for Best. He did it all game, and I still heard hearing people around me complaining how lazy and shit he was. I sometimes question peoples knowledge of the game. It just seem’s that he’s been labelled this type of player and it’s really stuck.
Ameobi has always been a squad player and when called upon he can do the job. He does have bad games too, but you would do when you aren’t a regular.
Enough said about Ameobi, as far as Cisse signing, I think it’s a great investment to have him and Ba starting. They are best mates along with Internation striking partners, they will have like a sixth sense of understanding of eachother, and for that he should find it easier settling in to the EPL.
I’m hoping that Cisse isn’t going to be the only signing this window because all that momentum of positivity towards Ashley from the fans after this signing will be soon forgotten. Onuoha is to me the best option for a quick fix and he wouldn’t cost that much + with Simmo yet to sign a new contract it’s possible he could be the ideal replacement. He’d be a great squad player either way.

Brutoon – Ben arfa left Marseille and Lyon because he didn’t want to play on the wing! He agreed to come here because he was promised a Central role! If he plays too much out wide he’ll kick off!
The only way is we play 4-3-3 with Demba Ba, Demba Cisse and HBA or playing 4-3-1-2 with HBA on the hole?
99 Ben-Arfa11 // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:39 AM
People seem to be disucssing ameobi alot tonight.
all i can say is this guy has decent talent and is a premiership player however the fact that he doesnt had any passion for the cause means he is a passenger and newcastle united wont accept passengers anymore.
the sooner he goes out the door better and this is coming from someone who does think he has talent but doesnt show it often enough i watched the qpr game and he just walks around the pitch never runs back to help his team mates even when he is on the ball he is just to casual for my liking he makes casual passes etc just not good enough.
while we are at it lets get the treble set???moussa sow.
why not ???why wouldnt he come to us when we have 2 of his friends and international team mates.
that would be an incredible threesome attack!!!
however it does seem like we are tight for cash as alan said in his interview that it wasnt finacially possible in the summer but it is now!!!
this means 2 things and 2 bad things.
1..it means they wanted to get in a striker quickly so if they sell someone on the last day of the season for big bucks then they can say oh well we bought our new no.9
2.it wasnt finacially viable in summer because freiburg wanted 15 million now but since its only 9 that means they could afford to do a deal.its negative tho as it means that they dont got much left for transfers.
good players we got.
krul1st class
santon1st class
colo 1st class
taylor 1st class
willimson squad player
simpson squad player
vuckic squad player
ba 1st class
cisse1st class
ben-arfa1st class
cabaye 1st class
tiote 1st class
jonas 1st class
r-taylor squad player
albeid-squad player
guthrie-squad player
best squad player
if you look at the above i was pleasantly surprised about what a very good squad we got.
if we keep all the above and add more quailty then we can compete at the outer reaches of the league..
summer beckons
for gosling get out on loan not good enough for us at the moment
ameob—–bye
sammy ameobi—-loan deal when back fit
lovenkrands..good service bye
alan smith- f off u queer
obertan—–poor player
there is a few more dead wood to get out however we are making progress getting out that dead wood.
the list used to be alot longer than that…
100 Brutooon // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:41 AM
why is HBA don’t like playing on the wings? is it because he don’t like doing the defensive duties?

103 Rowan Milsted // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:44 AM
@ jayphoto
Yeah I mentioned the 4-1-2-1-2 a few days ago, think it will work well in certain games but might play Jonas in the RCM role as he looks good in t6hat position, running at the channels, plus he’s a tireless worker and will also get back to help Tiote as he does currently with the FB’s when he’s on the wing.
I was thinking Ba and Ameobi up front though, Ba and Cisse will be a lethal partnership! Still really stoked by this signing
104 Ben-Arfa11 // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:46 AM
team could be

Santon———–Colo—–Willo —————Joans

——————–Cabaye——-Guthrie——————-
———————-Ben-arfa——————————
——————Cisse———–Ba————————-
we got our fantastic full backs in santon and jonas they can get forward and defend..jonas is better off at right back as he has to play but is much better getting forward a tiny bit and defending most of the time his work rate is incredible so i prefer him and santon at right back and let simpson out..then we got tiote helping the back four breaking up the play then we got cabaye and guthrie spreading there passes everywhere and they give the ball to ben-arfa and ben-arfa will show his magic sliding past everyone and will give the ball to our to goal scoring machines….
NO AMEOBI NO OBERTAN NO SIMPSON in my team cant get better than that
simpson is a good player and has done well just feel he make a better squad player
105 Brutooon // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:49 AM
i like simpson because he kept Perch away from the Right Back position
i like Obertan, i just half a season for him. Give him more time (same as you guys gave Shola Ameobi a chance)

110 Ben-Arfa11 // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:54 AM
brutoon-
Ameobi has lots of quailty.he is premiership quailty but he has wasted all his talent.the main thing i can say about Ameobi is he is a passenger in a game.he is way to casual with the ball and doesnt work hard for the team..i dont know what people were watching against qpr saying he was impressive because i thought he was pretty dire i must be watching another match.if you put in a good shift then grand but this player is a complete laze about.
we see touches of brhilliance and goals of bhrilliance but he is far from consistant.
it still amazes me how he still gets to wear the newcastle jersey.
he has been here atleast 10 seasons.seen managers come and go yet he seems to always be in the team or on the sub bench.
sir bobby–was great under him
then he survived under
graeme souness
alan pardew
nigel pearson
glenn roeder
big sam
kevin keegan
chris hughton.
he never got the axe no one can get rid of him even if they wanted.
just got to wait til he retires im afraid.
111 soundoid // Jan 18, 2012 at 1:56 AM
I think what we are finding is that when we have our 3 boys back we really can mix it up.
CB please Fat Man then we sell the Pitch Forks.
112 Rowan Milsted // Jan 18, 2012 at 2:05 AM
Agree with you there Brutoon, Obertan definitely deserves more time. Exciting to think we have Marveaux to come back too. And yeah, Raylor is a very handy player.
Still don’t want to come down off this news but fair to comment that we might be preparing a sale. It’s unusual for us to spend that kind of money, I reckon it’s either
1)MA decided to fork out a bit of money for a really good player (it can happen!)
2) It’s a bit of the Carroll money (just maybe)
3) It’s the £10m-a-year Virgin money (if that’s really true)
4) It’s profit we’ve made and can therefore spend
5) It’s come from some revenue stream we don’t know about, or
6) A player is to be sold.
I’m hoping we add to this with a CB and/or LB, that will be the very most we get I think, but still can’t silence the nagging doubt of losing a top player…
113 Ben-Arfa11 // Jan 18, 2012 at 2:05 AM
I just rememberd that Slyvain Marvaux is out injured i remember he still is our player haha.
you kinda forget someone who is out so long so thats great news today we have a pacey winger to come back into our team when he is fit hope the operation went well and his injuries are completly over then we could find another gem on our hands!
114 gonz // Jan 18, 2012 at 2:17 AM
BenArfa11
You said “he has been here atleast 10 seasons.seen managers come and go yet he seems to always be in the team or on the sub bench.”
It isn’t rocket science, the lad can play, and he obviously trains well if every manager that’s he played for has never sold him and is continuosly picked in the squad (when he’s fit). I have to agree with you and say you were obviously watching a different match than I had against QPR because he was one of the better players on the day, there weren’t many as it was an awful game of football. Best was shite until he scored and suddenly I almost didn’t recognise him afterwards because suddenly he transformed into a different player, one who could play football at the top level. Confidence does funny things sometimes. Ameobi is a great servant of this club, the same club that you love he loves.
115 Brutooon // Jan 18, 2012 at 2:20 AM
Ben Arfa 11 : i do agree on your part for the QPR game. Shola didnt do much apart from slipping and giving the ball back to the opposition
for your 2nd part.
1) the reason he stay “loyal” to the club and “survive” all the managers is because no other club want him. This include championship clubs who never bid for him except for Stoke City (will in the end also DONT want him)
2) forget about ameobi. now its time for Demba Ba and Demba Cisse to shine. Let them bang some goals and bring us back to European Nights.
116 Brutooon // Jan 18, 2012 at 2:25 AM
i am not going to whine about Shola Ameobi but i need you guys to understand two words – loyal and legend
1) An example of loyal is when a player was bid by other teams (bigger than current team) then he choose to stay with his current / hometown team. Alan Shearer choose to go to Newcastle than winning trophies with Man Utd. Saylor sign a new contract so stay LOYAL to Newcastle United.
2) Legend is someone like Alan Shearer, Gary Speed, Jackie Milburn, Beardsley, Ginola etc. Not someone like Shola Ameobi !!!!!

nice guy and can pull moments out the bag but over all just a bit stupid.
hes got strength and this season can hold the ball to an extent but not much else. hes never in a great frame of mind enough and simply cant cut it enough,
youve gotta love him for being a life long newcastle player and geordie though- aswell as scoring a few good goals- particuarly agaist tottenham this season

Excellent signing; well done to the NUFC hierachy for bring this goal scorer to Newcastle for next to nothing…..
We now need a decent CB (the WHU youngster maybe) and possibly a LB (Cissoko would be great). Then need contract extensions for Colocini, Guthrie and Simpson and this will be an excelent January transfer window provided no one leaves.
Oh yes, Shola is a decent squad player who is needed for 10+ starts each season. He’s been around for a while and has possibly 2 seasons maximum left in him so let’s support him. He is a Biker lad after all…..
134 FloridaToon // Jan 18, 2012 at 5:35 AM
Haven’t seen him play but if he is anywhere near the quality of Ba it will be a bargain.
Good ambition shown by AP and MA. This may also help get Colo and others to sign there new contracts.
Now just a CB and keep what we have and it will be a great window.
I also think Brutoon has secret crushes on Perch and Shola, and only slags them because they don’t like him.
135 Brutooon // Jan 18, 2012 at 6:03 AM

Ben Arfa hits a 25 yard screamer, it looks a goal all the way! Incredibly the keeper manages to get his finger tips to the ball and turns it onto the crossbar, the ball comes crashing back and strikes Shola on the back of the head as he’s sat on the penalty spot struggling with cramp, the balls nestles into the corner if the net, and so a legend is born.

I find it totally bizarre that there is so much commentary about Shola on here with such negativity when we should all be delighted about this cracking signing! I don’t recall when we signed Cabaye that the crack was (for example) – “Thank goodness we don’t have to play that tosser Guthrie – I loathe him blah blah blah…..” (And I’m just saying that as an example of what;’s going on – I actually like Danny but wouldn’t put him ahead of our Tiote / Cabaye combo). Personally I’m glad to have Shola as a back-up – and if he can’t play, ask the Manure defence about the bullying he gave them and the goal assist.

magpie6699 @ 153
Bizarre – yes. Surprising – no.
There will always be ‘fans’ who find something to criticise no matter what the good news coming out of the club.
The other thing – of course – is that 80% of fans (to one degree or another) continued to buy into and believe the ‘Ashley is an unambitious FGB out to ruin our club’ drivel that was peddled by the Toon hating southern press and the major neggers on this forum.
The believed this Ashley crap despite the fact that – since relegation – he has never put a foot wrong. All his controversial decions – slammed at the time – have proved correct and have taken us forward.
Look at the squad we have, the skill, the youth, the team spirit right throughout the whole club. Look at our Prem position ALL season. Look at how strong we are now financially.
And yet STILL Ashley has taken ferocious stick (vile and personal at times) that he is ‘an unambitious FGB out to ruin our club’. How pathetic is that?
I – as everyone on here knows – have consistently for 2 years said that Ashley is the best owner in my 50 years supporting my beloved Toon. I didn’t have to be any genius to spot the great work he was doing, the plan and strategy he had. All I had to do was look at the facts through unbiased eyes – not the hate filled vindictive eyes of the Ashley haters.
Cisse’s signing is one the Ashley haters said would NEVER happen under him.
Yet again, Ashley proves them wrong.
Ashley – the BEST OWNER in my 50 years supporting the Toon.

Have to say amazing signing by pards. However we now have 6 main strikers and only 3 centre halves. We need tO bring in defensive cover desperately. That yanga mbiwa looks a class act. But well done to mike Ashley.
Howay the lads!

His Playing Style Looks a little like Samuel Eto’o + BA
Papiss Cisse = Samuel Eto’o + BA
(He is light weight and act faster)
Wherever Eto’o goes he will score goals. Doesnt matter in a better team like Baca or in Inter.
This kind of player is also like Didier Drogba. With the electrifying energy.
Gave him some time to settle…

We will surly see player goes…esp the striker department.
Smith is consider striker as well. But we needed him for Def-Mid.

Do you have a giant latex Ashley doll that you perform felatio on or do you simply just bum it.

guys..we’ve been waiting 10 years for this.. good times ahead=) damn:D
anyway..about these shola comments.. wtf? ok, hes not some star player, BUT..can fill in if necessary..is happy being a no.4 striker (wont complain) & has flashes of briliance.. & if we look at our last match against QPR..he was 10 times better then best on that match.. best apart from goal was invisible..
now a defender who can also play as FB & we’re good to go (mbiwa, pieters).. a winger in the summer & we have a top 4 team:D

Can’t see Pards throwing Dave in at the deep end, took half a season to bed in Santon, and hasn’t that worked a treat. Be next season before we see the best of the Ba/Dave combo

The DD’s are gonna take the eyes out !! Best news in ages. Billson and Co, as I have said before, I had reasonable doubts about MA’s willingness to invest more than about 5mill for the right player, and he proved me wrong and allayed a lot of fears that I had re his stewardship. This is a significant move by the owner and he deserves our praise this morning. So does Pardew, but no doubt there will be many “Pardwho” fans still unhappy. I wonder will this stop us buying a centre half, even one for development? Hope not. A great day for Toon fans – Billson boy, u must be delighted too , fair play t’you.

As if Newcastle have gone and bought another ticking time bomb? Oh dear lord… People may be praising Pardew now for his signings but Marveaux, Ba and now Cisse… All good signings on paper, but all 3 are horribly injury prone, Ba failed a medical at Stoke, Marveaux failed a medical at Liverpool and Cisse has had more injury problems than Fabio Aurelio.
…we shall see..

Brutoon, you are a pathetic excuse for a fan. Shola may not be a great player , but he played through a hip injury when 95% of these premiership prima donnas would have laid up. He has hammered Sunderland often and he is a loyal club servant. People like you live in a Fotball Manager world, and cant be happy unless we sign every jewel available. Any by the way, they wont score 50 goals between them, so stop being a tool with your 60+ goals count, and get realistic. PS I’d love to see you say boo to Shola’s face, you sad moaning whinger. A club like Newcastle deserves better fans than you.

Once again it’s the decrepit old man who begins the abuse. Also once again all you want to talk about is how ‘right’ you are and how wrong us ‘neggers’ are-GET OVER YOUR OWN EGO BILLS SON you might have the foreign mags (i.e. FloridaMag) who don’t have a clue on your side but anyone with any sense (i.e. Jail for Ashley), like I, can see right through you and your idiocy.
