Pardew – We Have The Money For Three Big Players

11:17 pm, Saturday, July 14th, 2012 by Ed Harrison · 137 Comments

Alan Pardew has said that Newcastle have money this summer to bring in three top players, and if they lose any one of their marquee players, the club feels confident they can bring in an equivalent player.

Mike Ashley – has given manager at least £20M to spend this summer

Certainly Newcastle are a much richer club then they were only last summer, and as time goes by, and the powers that be keep balancing the books,  Newcastle will become a richer club.

That’s not an opinion – that’s a fact.

But with ­Newcastle’s terrific fifth place finish last season and a return to European competition for the first time in six seasons, things are looking up on Tyneside, and Alan Pardew says the club’s transfer plans this summer are not dependent on any player leaving to fund the deals – they have the money – reckoned to be at least £20M to spend.

This is what Alan Pardew said to the Daily Mirror:

“I know we can sign two or three ­players and keep all those we have. I know we can do that. I think we will be stronger.”

“And if we do lose a ­marquee player to a ­really inflated price – an Andy Carroll price – then we have got to trust our ­judgment and go into the market place and bring in an equivalent, and I think Mike is quite comfortable with that.”

“The big job this ­summer is keeping players, as well as signing them. I think that is the key.” “We still have a window wide open and everyone is analyzing and looking at what they did over the last year and at what other teams did.”

“A lot of people will look at us, so I’m not out of the woods on that for sure.”  “I don’t fear a big offer coming in, I expect it. I expect a bid for one of our marquee players.”

“Whether it’s enough money to take the player away, we will have to wait and see, but it would have to be a lot of money.”  “I would be very ­surprised if the spirit and ­camaraderie we built up last season was broken up, unless we lost four or five players – and I cannot see that in a million years.”

“We ­finished fifth, but that was last season.”  “It is important that the message gets through to the players here that, while it is a good finish, it isn’t winning the league.

“There are still four places to aim at above us and, if you want to be a winner, then you have to be better than you were last season.”

Newcastle could lose any one of their star players including Demba Ba, Yohan Cabaye, Fab Coloccini, Tim Krul and Cheick Tiote, with Newcastle being able to ask massive money for all but Demba Ba.

That release clause in Demba’s contract is for £7M,  however, it only has 17 days left to run, and then he will be available at his market price, or we should say Newcastle’s price, which will be a lot more than £7M.

But nearly all Newcastle’s stars have already said they don’t want to leave the Toon, and when you think how well our lads did last season, that’s not too surprising.

Newcastle will hope to sign both Mathieu Debuchy and Douglas within the next week, and both those players will be stellar signings for the club.

While we are keeping our feet firmly on the ground, things are definitely looking up at Newcastle these days, and on many different fronts.

Howay the Lads!!

  • 4 yorkshireToon // Jul 14, 2012 at 11:22 PM

    Cheers nimo

    And not to be one of those people but does pards actually say 3 big players in the interview or is this a tiny bit of sensationalism? Either way that interview is positive from pards and you don’t get many of them out of him, something good must be happening soon… Signing?

  • 5 WWYCD // Jul 14, 2012 at 11:25 PM

    Id like to state that I do like Pardew and I would hate to lose him BUT every window does he have to play his salesman routine

  • 6 jimmyxavi // Jul 14, 2012 at 11:26 PM

    I told you I don’t do sources but I will say there is a man who said of two transfers on twitter so far this summer on twitter that have become true – Not Toon signings but ahh well.. Anyway his account is private so I can promise you he’s not an itk who wants attention.. Not a Cwarr type!

    Anyway I trust him enough to put it on here! Like I said I’ve never said about a singing or predicted anything!

  • 7 jimmyxavi // Jul 14, 2012 at 11:28 PM

    Oh and he doesn’t even support Newcastle – He supports Darlington!

  • 8 kevymartins // Jul 14, 2012 at 11:29 PM

    paranormal activity 3 oooh scary stuff…anyway back to football how come there has been no highlights of the match of nufctv yet?

  • 9 Gateshead-Mag // Jul 14, 2012 at 11:29 PM

    jimmixavi

    im not doubting you trust what he says, but if we had a penny for everyone that posted on here with the exact same bleief that their source(not a source for you) wed have atleast 15 pence

  • 10 WWYCD // Jul 14, 2012 at 11:32 PM

    jimmyxavi
    If Debuchy doesnt sign will u change ur name to ‘never trust jimmyxavi’s transfer predictions’?

  • 11 jimmyxavi // Jul 14, 2012 at 11:32 PM

    Gatesheadmag

    Haha I know – I reckon we’d have signed about 30 players by now if what people have said was true! I believe him so I thought I’d share it – If I’m wrong you can make it 16 pence haha

  • 12 JAMSHA // Jul 14, 2012 at 11:32 PM

  • 14 dmac // Jul 14, 2012 at 11:33 PM

    I think that debuchy and douglas are practically done deals. I think we are waiting for douglas to be declared dutch before we sign him.

  • 15 Gateshead-Mag // Jul 14, 2012 at 11:33 PM

    i hope so mate, pennys make prizes, or is it points??

    anyhoo…

  • 19 cupiddstunt // Jul 14, 2012 at 11:41 PM

    From previous post

    WWYCD @ # 301

    I think you are just starting to see what I have felt since they first got into handbags in front of the tv cameras.

    To me the whole situ gave me the feeling of set-up, the place was a sell out and they both made a packet which they would not have got had they been buddies.

  • 20 gonufc (up and Hatem) // Jul 14, 2012 at 11:42 PM

    Ahh f*$k it, I’ll just hope Debuchy is coming this weekend.

  • 21 WWYCD // Jul 14, 2012 at 11:43 PM

    jimmyxavi
    Haha I will hold ya to that…though I do think Debuchy will sign for us and I think he made it clear that he wanted to come to us before the Euros

    Also have a feeling Douglas is fairly near signing as well just waiting for the citizenship issue to be sorted. Reckon Sakho is a target as well though and him possibly becoming available may change our minds about Douglas but I could be way off the mark

  • 22 WWYCD // Jul 14, 2012 at 11:50 PM

    cuppidstunt
    Aye I have the same cynical feeling mate, specially as when the final bell went they were like best friends

    Haye seems to of gotten everything out of the fight got his rep back, got strapped again, put his name back on the stage to fight Vitali and made a load of money (probably more than we know considering he helped really launch a channel)

    Chisora got a pay day and added to his bad boy image plus if he had beaten Haye his stock would of rocketed up though I dont think that was ever going to happen

  • 23 Gateshead-Mag // Jul 14, 2012 at 11:54 PM

    al be back at 2 hope theres still a few on here

    chiao

  • 24 Magpies-till-d3ath // Jul 14, 2012 at 11:55 PM

    Debcuhy and Douglas would be amazing. The third player, I’d love Gameiro, I would also like a CM because it seems most likely that Tiote is heading to the ACON.

  • 25 george.nufc // Jul 14, 2012 at 11:56 PM

    Okay so Debuchy for 7 Mil, Douglas for 5, Anita for 7.5? Half a Mil fee due to age of hoilett? Sensible Signings if you ask me?

  • 26 Harley // Jul 14, 2012 at 11:57 PM

    It’s great speculating but it’s becoming quite real that we will sign debuchy and Douglas.
    It’s mouth watering to think what those 2 players will add to our team.
    They are both top drawer players. Debuchy was probably Frances best player at the euros and Douglas has been described as the best centre back in holland. Even Ajax wanted him to replace vertongen.
    Im so optimistic for next season!

  • 27 Trinidad Magpie // Jul 14, 2012 at 11:59 PM

    It’s a genuine relief to be reading positive blogs, comments, stories and rumours about the black and white this time of year. Let’s hope this trend continues to the start of the season and then to the close of the the transfer window.

  • 28 GeordieToon89 // Jul 15, 2012 at 12:00 AM

    Would much rather go for Sakho ahead of Douglas but dont pull out of the Douglas deal until we know about Sakho

  • 29 t00ntime // Jul 15, 2012 at 12:00 AM

    @wwycd i like his salesman pitch… Cause he is apparantly a really bad salesman… He said in jan we will lose players, didnt happen

    He said we will lose this players this summer, touch wood, that hasnt happend yet lol

  • 30 Sholadona // Jul 15, 2012 at 12:02 AM

    Well their is a guy on twitter saying his mate who works at a hotel says Debuchy checked in! Sharing a room with Barnetta?

  • 31 t00ntime // Jul 15, 2012 at 12:04 AM

    About the boxing, i think the friends thing at the end was to try and show that they arent savage beasts they were made out to be, but even if it was all a set up, it was the first good heavyweight fight since lenox lewis was around lol so i’m happy :P

  • 32 beefman13 // Jul 15, 2012 at 12:04 AM

    Something john carver said last week about nobody knowing when we signed pappis cisse and that we always now play our cards close to our chests makes me think work is defo going on in the background on other targets, the lad who plays in france mbiwa was big time on the radar a while ago then it cooled off same as pappis cisse did over a year ago then he came back in to the picture, ole toivenen has went a bit quiet but make no mistake he is real quality that lad as well, we are doing really well in my opinion and that starting eleven on friday i would say not one of them will be in the starting eleven against spurs first game of the season, we have depth now and will get a bit more before the transfer window ends even if we loose someone else. for me though a really good centre half is a must as williamson for me isnt of the standard we need to keep going forward, ok for real emergencies but thats it.

  • 33 t00ntime // Jul 15, 2012 at 12:07 AM

    @shola i’m kind of worried about barnetta… I know he gets paid alot per week but that hotel bill muat be massive by now :S

  • 34 scdoty // Jul 15, 2012 at 12:08 AM

    @ jimmyxavi

    Your the only person i believe in here and know your not a want to be itk.

    great signing and cannot wait to have him in our team.

    Thanks for the update.

  • 35 Sholadona // Jul 15, 2012 at 12:09 AM

    @t00ntime I’m pretty sure he thinks cwarr is paying for it and is waiting for him to come along and take him to the club.

  • 36 WWYCD // Jul 15, 2012 at 12:15 AM

    t00ntime
    Honestly it annoys me, u dont see other managers doing it but fair enough if he is doing it to scare teams off our players just doesnt seem like that too me

    Oh aye it was a good bout I just dont think it needed the circus feel that it had built around it.

    Anyway am off to those staying up to support Khan enjoy it am sure he will be, as he so often is, fantastic

    Have a good un lads

  • 37 toonincheek // Jul 15, 2012 at 12:20 AM

    Douglas has to wait until the end of August to qualify for the Dutch national team – I assume that means Dutch nationality.

    But – the transfer window ends on 31st August – so how do we organise that?

    Maybe we would have to sign and register him in the afternoon, after he gets his nationality sorted in the morning?

  • 38 toonincheek // Jul 15, 2012 at 12:22 AM

    Ah, Douglas aready has his Dutch nationality – but has to wait until the end of August to qualify to play for Holland.
    Don’t know if the “end of August”, ie the 31st, is exact or approximate.
    Depends on the exact day he arrived as to when he has 5 years residency.

  • 39 GeordieToon89 // Jul 15, 2012 at 12:28 AM

    toonincheek – 25th August is the day he gets his citzenship.. 25th or 28th anyways defo has a 2 init haha

  • 41 ViVaDebuchy // Jul 15, 2012 at 1:08 AM

    Next season we will be a much stronger side if can can get debuchy and Douglas over the line we looked pretty weak in defence at times last season, Our strike force is one of the best in the EPL!<<<< FACT! OHH and our Midfield isnt bad either But Defence We only Had one Top Top quality player and thats our EL-Capitano Big Fab With the curly wig :) So on-wards and upwards from here boys and girls OIOI Champs League hahah

    Started with Sunderland, played a blinder with them in 99′ when Kevin Phillipps won his golden boot for the scum, then moved to Leeds and played just as well, injury killed him off though, lower league player. Shame really.

  • 66 Gateshead-Mag // Jul 15, 2012 at 2:59 AM

  • 68 gonufc (up and Hatem) // Jul 15, 2012 at 3:05 AM

    Debuchy pleaaaaaaaaaaase. Then maybe a nice Sakho and a tasty winger….mmm, lets say Affellay. That would be nice.

  • 69 Sav // Jul 15, 2012 at 3:09 AM

    Whatever happened to Kevin Gamiero, Carr’s first choice striker last season before he signed for PSG? Was he a success? Is he crocked or transferred or languishing on the bench?

  • 70 Gateshead-Mag // Jul 15, 2012 at 3:09 AM

    hahaha gonufc
    wishful thinking??

    noway affallay will be here come august, and is any1 sure were even after sakho we only got linked with him after he said he wanted to leave psg imo because the toon is big in france now, never seen anything official on it

    also am not sure we wud go after any1 we havnt scouted for ages, m am not sure we have been scouting him otherwise we woulda her about intrest before last week

  • 71 Gateshead-Mag // Jul 15, 2012 at 3:11 AM

    sav

    our prioritys in terms of personel may have changed since then, other targets moving up our list, end of theday pardew/ashley and co know what and who we need and will be persuing the best people to get in, leaves the supporters guessing but its the best way really, they know all the players and how they would perform for us alot better than us fans do

  • 72 t00ntime // Jul 15, 2012 at 3:15 AM

    Lol drogba moves to: Shanghai Shenhua

    and says money wasnt the motivation to move to china….. Sure mate lol

  • 73 Gateshead-Mag // Jul 15, 2012 at 3:16 AM

    cause its about money hahaha a wouldnt call him greedy tho hes played at the top of the game most of his career, hes 33 now n will be most likely his last club, course hes gunna wanna make as much as he can before he retires pretty sure any1 would do the same

  • 74 gonufc (up and Hatem) // Jul 15, 2012 at 3:24 AM

    I just want another Ben Arfa to play on the left – now that would be serious attacking power.

  • 75 Gateshead-Mag // Jul 15, 2012 at 3:24 AM

    plus he gives a hole lota his money back into africa building schools n that so good luck to him i say

  • 76 Gateshead-Mag // Jul 15, 2012 at 3:25 AM

    gonufc

    haway mate ya cant be greedy hahaha

    theres only 2 hatem ben arfas and 1 of thems called lionel from bartheloooona

  • 77 t00ntime // Jul 15, 2012 at 3:28 AM

    Lol it will be funny to see Shanghai Shenhua play lol drogba is like twice the size of a chineese person lol he wont even have to jump to win headers :P

    Sumthing completly driffrent but its bugging me :S the JT saga…

    He got his captaincy stripped for being racist,
    Capello says until found guilty he will be captain… Sum things happen capello gets fired.
    JT is fount innocent… The FA realise they made a d…ck of themselves, now they say JT might still be fined

    Lol how does that work? He is ‘probably’ getting fined for being racist after being found not racist :S thats lyk going to court for murder getting found inocent and then getting 5 years because a jury member doesnt like u….

    I know its too early/late for all this lol but its been bugging me all day xD

  • 78 t00ntime // Jul 15, 2012 at 3:31 AM

    Didnt know drogba helped charities :S not enuff footballers do that,
    clapping for cisse’s goal,
    scoring VS bayern
    And now this?
    Drogba really has gained my respect this year :S lol

  • 79 Gateshead-Mag // Jul 15, 2012 at 3:31 AM

    toon time

    ill not make my judgement untill the fa make theyre judgement, ud think if commonsense provails theyl find him not guilty aswell, the fact theyv opened up an investigation now tells me 1 of 2 things

    they either disagree with the cps decision, or theres been a public outcry since the not guilty verdict came out and they feel like they have to do sumthing,

    i think itl open up a can of worms if they punish him but the cps did not

  • 80 t00ntime // Jul 15, 2012 at 3:34 AM

    The FA is strange :S they cant punish rooney after he elbowed a wigan player cause the ref had seen it (when the video footage obviously showed that he shud of been banned for a few matches)

    But they can rejudge JT because they/public
    Dont agree :S

  • 81 Gateshead-Mag // Jul 15, 2012 at 3:35 AM

    toontime

    its not so much charities he helps, he does it himself in the ivorycoast wher hes from he goes over and uses his money for comunities and that, i dont know exactly what, am sure yad be able to find out if u gogled it, sure hes paid for schools to be built and stuff

    alot of footballers do give alot of money to charity tho but ya dont really hear about it, to many people just wanna slate them for the money theyre on, but compared to singers and movie stars they often give away alot more money, and often earn less money than the big A listers, people just love to hate footballers

  • 82 Gateshead-Mag // Jul 15, 2012 at 3:36 AM

    googled* honest am sure am keyboard dislexic haha

  • 83 t00ntime // Jul 15, 2012 at 3:39 AM

    Before today the only person i knew helped charities was will.i.am tbf i never really looked into it and i myself was one of those who slated famous ( or pretty much anyone who earns above average) people for not doing anything to help…. Guess i will have to look into it more before i slate people again hahaha

  • 84 t00ntime // Jul 15, 2012 at 3:43 AM

    The worst thing is half the time i dont even notice ur spelling mistakes… guess thats an indicator i’m tired/drunk too much lol

  • 85 Gateshead-Mag // Jul 15, 2012 at 3:43 AM

    hahaha

    honestly tho it just doesnt get publicised coz theres alot of people that dont follow football so have more reason to hate theyre wages, whereas alot more ppl watch films and listen to music,

    for example did you know if you play for england you get paid??

    well every england player donates there money they recieve for playing for england straight to a charity (a cant remember which 1)

  • 86 Gateshead-Mag // Jul 15, 2012 at 3:45 AM

    im on the sauce n all so its alright haha

  • 87 t00ntime // Jul 15, 2012 at 3:46 AM

    I actually Didnt know they got paid lol i thought they only got paid of they made certain milestones, like QF SF or final :S…. Who wud of thought u learn stuff at 4am lol

    I know, not many are aware of his (or others) charity work. I have much more respect for somebody who does charity work and keeps it to themselves rather than those who advertise it excessively. It just seems to suggest that they’re doing it solely for good rather than it being just as much about improving their public image.

    Apparently Colo donates about half his weekly wage.

  • 123 t00ntime // Jul 15, 2012 at 4:16 AM

    Damn, those first 2 rounds were the best I’ve ever seen Khan. Ref did his best not to stop it, thought he should’ve the first or second knock down to be honest.

    A host of clubs are ready to make a move for Blackpool winger Matt Phillips, Sky Sports understands. The Tangerines look to have a battle on their hands to hang on to their exciting winger as Everton, Wigan, Aston Villa, Sunderland and Reading all weigh up potential bids.
    by @SkySportsChrisB 1:22 AM
    ————–

    we should try to sign Matt Philips a very good player. As our club are operating on a tight strings, we should take a gamble on him. could turn out to be 1 of the best wingers in the league.

  • 132 BIGPEAOVTHEWEAB // Jul 15, 2012 at 7:06 AM

    In response to the charity comments that’s why colo wanted to sign a new deal to make sure his orfinige was going to be safe

  • 133 Gateshead-Mag // Jul 15, 2012 at 8:19 AM

    3 Playes for 20 Million – My Thoughts:

    In:
    Debuchy – 7M
    Douglas/Sakho – 7M
    A Hoillet type on the Left or
    Anita – 8M

    Out:
    Simpson – 2-3 million:

    Krul

    Debuchy Sakho Collo Santon

    Cabaye Tiote Anita/Marveux

    Ben Arfa Ba/Hoillet

    Cisse

    Solid centre halves + quick creative wing backs
    A quick passing / tackling / linking midfield
    A front three to wreak havoc

    Our short passing needs to get better overall.
    Pardew to learn lessons i.e. wigan (a) last year.

    Blood Youngsters esp forwards.

    Looking forward to the coming weeks.

    “We ­finished fifth, but that was last season.” “It is important that the message gets through to the players here that, while it is a good finish, it isn’t winning the league. There are still four places to aim at above us and, if you want to be a winner, then you have to be better than you were last season.”

    “I’m hoping that I will educate our fans for next season. If they think we can finish fifth with a European campaign and the finances we’ve got, it’s impossible. I honestly believe that you need to be a bit more open with the fans. The problem some managers have is they’re not open enough”

    Still waiting for Debuchy. Hope it happens soon
