Alan Pardew has explained to Newcastle fans today with an interview in the Evening Chronicle, just how the club does its transfer business, and there’s also news that Newcastle have expanded their scouting area to include places like Romania and Serbia, as well as France, Holland and Belgium.
Graham Carr – a top man at Newcastle
And of course graham Carr heads up Newcastle’s ever-growing scouting network, and Pardew explained how he works with Graham, whom he rarely sees because he’s always on the road checking out players.
“I like Graham, I hardly ever see him. You’d be surprised how much I talk to him!” “What happens is Graham goes out and gets a list of, say, eight players. Right now we are in the middle of the next window.”
“The process, so our fans are clear on it, is this: We have about seven names for a center-half. He’ll give me what he thinks are his best two options. Then it comes down to football secretary Lee Charnley. He will contact the clubs.
“Sometimes somebody linked to the club might be an agent who works with the club. They will say what the value of the player might be.” “It is always a ‘possibly’ because you are never able to negotiate what the actual figure will be.”
“We had that problem with Debuchy. The figure that was told to us was way off the figure the club wanted.” “We thought that something was out of keel and that’s why we felt bad about the deal.” “Then there are the personal terms of what the player could ‘possibly have’.”
“The top two of Graham’s choices may have gone. We might be down to one of Graham’s and three others.” “Then it will come into my lap. Then I really take a vested interest in how many times Graham has watched these guys and the clubs they’ve been at. I’ll talk to my backroom team.”
“Graham isn’t doing that all by himself – he has his own foot soldiers to get those seven names.” “By that process we’re down to say two and I’ll see Derek Llambias and say, ‘This is what we think they’ll cost and how much they want, we’ve watched them 10 times, I’ve analysed it and I’m happy’.”
“That’s what happened with Cabaye. Then it is a case of ‘Can we get them?’ Then we see if Mike Ashley and Derek can do the deal. Ultimately Mike has to say to Derek, yes or no. Derek manages the budget.”
This is good information from Alan and it really seems that Newcastle have the transfer procedure under good control and it’s well worked out.
It seems if a layer comes into the cub he has been vetted multiple ways and hopefully can become a success wat the club.
We didn’t get enough players in the summer but Gael Bigirimana and Vurnon Anita look to have been two great buys for the club.
Maybe we can get a couple more in January?

I’ll believe it when I see it
(they didn’t know how to set this in motion back in the summer)
…took to long to figur out that the price they were told would be enough and the club’s value weren’t the same (all that takes is a phone call)
Bt the way LC, make them calls now so you cross any players that are too expensive now so Carr can have time torecommend someone else
lol

ppB…who’s part of my lemon crew?
…should I advertise it more?
6 GFH // Oct 18, 2012 at 12:22 PM
The background research sounds thorough enough , but I think it is what follows that sometimes baffles the fans. As an example , we are told that the club are still scouting De Buchy this week. If the price had been paid in the summer we would have been in a position to sell Danny Simpson to subsidise the De Buchy fee, now it seems Simpson will leave for free and if De Buchy comes at the fee originally “agreed” in the summer we will actually be worse off as well as having done without De Buchy for half a season and had ( I believe ) a negative impact on team ( Cabaye for sure) and fan morale by not having brought players in.

jesps lemon crew. ibiza is in. im definitely in the brig lol
8 jesperfuglsang // Oct 18, 2012 at 12:27 PM
ppB…you are definitely signed up – you’ll make an excelent firstmate
lol
…I’ll just wait and tell Ibiza he’s part of the lemon crew (need to find a part for him to play)
9 Transfer Sage // Oct 18, 2012 at 12:30 PM
Players values change often.
Maybe the club were hoping debuchy would sulk and try to force a move resulting in a lower price.
If this hasn’t happened it could all be for nothing but he will also be closer to the end of his contract which could begin to come into consideration towards the last couple years
10 ppb // Oct 18, 2012 at 12:49 PM
@jespet ibiza is in the crows nest. apparently he likes sitting atop things

Pardew should audition for the remake of Groundhog Day, he is like a stuck record at times.
Personally great in theory, but Derek then does whatever he deems fit, basically it doesnt matter what old slick lips wants, he will do as he is told and say what he is told to say, poor pards he is such a patsy.
16 jesperfuglsang // Oct 18, 2012 at 1:40 PM
Lesh…Ibiza is a part of my crew – I’ll do the hanging here
(Ibiza has his place up in the crow’s nest) lol

So after the months and months of hard work scouting players from around the globe we decide to knock the transfer on the head because Ashley and Llambias value the player slightly lower than the team wants. Great strategy when it pays off (Tiote,Cabaye etc.) but when it fails it seems like a big waste of time for the sake of a couple million

Activities to be completed in the morning (before sensible people appear on the blog).
Afternoon and evening: Continued therapy and electric shock treatment.

I’m not so sure about this, traditionally a powder -monkey was a small boy -do you intend to call him Rodger as well.
47 jesperfuglsang // Oct 18, 2012 at 4:03 PM
Tuffboy…Jolly Roger for you
(it is very dangerous work, not for everyone)
48 numba9 // Oct 18, 2012 at 4:08 PM
Proud our club is seen in a good light today with announcements on premier ticket prices . Other clubs should follow suit . It’s better for the game to be affordable and encourage a generation of fans
49 jesperfuglsang // Oct 18, 2012 at 4:12 PM
Numba9…I read somewhere that the cheapest tickets at Hereford were more expensive than tickets at SJP
(or something like that)
50 numba9 // Oct 18, 2012 at 4:15 PM
Hope we don’t draw them in the cup again lol
51 Mister Tuff // Oct 18, 2012 at 4:20 PM
to the pirates -I’ll decline your offer as powder-monkey. In the meantime I’ve been working on some casting for you all in respective of my Cowboys and Indians theme, but I am stuck a bit. What I’ve come up with is:-
Big Chief Running Bear—— probably not.
Big Chief Running Dog ……again probably not.
Eureka -I’ve got it…..Big Chief Running Mouth -damn problem is you could all be this character.

Tuffboy…I like your enthusiasm, but it just doesn’t go well with the concept of Capt. Jesper & his lemon crew (it’s a running pirate joke mate)
…I do hope you’ll reconsider the position of powder-monkey
54 lesh // Oct 18, 2012 at 4:41 PM
So, Mr Tuff, you do not vish to be part of Herr Kaleun Jesper’s crew……. especially not the cabin boy called Rodger.
There’s nothing like letting ze crew have a good Roger in, it raises more zan morale!!”
Never mind knowing what’s coming his way, it’s what’ll be coming yours……….. Herr Kapitainleutnant Fugslang vill let you know in good time!
Anyway, where do Master Bates and Seaman Staines figure in this motley crew, what positions do they hold?
55 jesperfuglsang // Oct 18, 2012 at 4:49 PM
Cabin boy Lesh (Roger)… that is a good question
…I am not sure what Gunner BPC had in mind
mind you lol

84 jesperfuglsang // Oct 18, 2012 at 5:24 PM
Ibiza…you certainly may
…I must admit, my firstmate ppB came up with this fine position for you
Lesh is the cabin boy
(fine position if you ask me)
Rainrix is the Boatswain
BPC is the Gunner
and Tuffboy has declined the position of powder-monkey
and I thought Tsunki had a position as well (can’t keep track and ppB is nowhere to be found) lol
85 nufc786 // Oct 18, 2012 at 5:26 PM
Unlike Everyone else who has “Beware of Dog” signs in their yards, Cheik tiote’s dog has a “Beware of Cheik tiote” sign in front of his dog house.
86 WWYCD // Oct 18, 2012 at 5:26 PM
Ok Debuchy has been mentioned lets run with it, is everyone all for going for him in Jan again?
Personally I would far prefer we went for a younger LB or even a younger RB
87 jesperfuglsang // Oct 18, 2012 at 5:28 PM
Nufc786…ppB that is why (and where is the troublemaker)
lol
88 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Oct 18, 2012 at 5:29 PM
Jesper…May I suggest you lay off the rum and stop being so reliant on your firstmate…..mutiny looms if not.
Yo…Well, I’m involved, so it only seems fair.
Pappa…..Dreamboat mark II? Best stop home straight away, not sure we can trust the crew with him too long at sea….
So, what’s new today? See Pardews been busy talking about incomings, outgoings and that Mike is actually decent and it’s Derek that is the pr*ck? Fair and quick assessment? (Not suggesting this method Ed, can’t see my two liner grabbing quite the same attention
).

actually im in the dark about this pirate banter i just assumed a bit of tiote banter would bring people back to their senses…….. not tht there is anything wrong with pirate banter but its tht…… our biggest game is around the corner and we cant let ppl go off track……
but how did this pirate banter strt?????? anyone???
90 jesperfuglsang // Oct 18, 2012 at 5:30 PM
Yo…if Simmo doesn’t wnt to sign his contract I am all for Debuchy (I am all out of ideas
)
…though if Santon gets switched to RB I would for us to take a look at Debuchy’ young sidekick Lucas Digne
91 nufc786 // Oct 18, 2012 at 5:30 PM

95 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Oct 18, 2012 at 5:34 PM
Yo…Younger but to a similar standard (as in ready to replace Simpson)? I’d be happy enough with Debuchy tbh – but then again I’m relatively happy now.
These wise words have been brought to you by Ibizatoon in his crows nest (or fence if you’re not partaking in todays apparent pirate theme)

my thoughts exactly……….
97 WWYCD // Oct 18, 2012 at 5:35 PM
jesper
Aye true but I still hold out hope that Simmo will sign up again. Digne is meant to be a little gem (great on football manager) but I know nothing about him in real life. Is he good?
I may just be judging Debuchy harshly because of being so sick of his transfer saga tbf
98 nufc786 // Oct 18, 2012 at 5:36 PM

99 jesperfuglsang // Oct 18, 2012 at 5:36 PM

(so I needed a crew and ppl signed up ) lol
…the blog was dead (shit happens when it’s dead)
100 nufc786 // Oct 18, 2012 at 5:37 PM
jesperfuglsang
indeed the blog gets really strange when its dead……….
101 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Oct 18, 2012 at 5:38 PM
Yo…Have I misunderstood our relationship? I just assumed where I go you go and visa versa? I know you’re a neggar and I’m a vile optimist, but I thought it was this balance that made it work?
Ameobi…Your disclaimer of certain death may be putting people off – not sure there are too many mackems on here (apart from possibly WWYCD) and if there were, would they be stupid enough to jump at your offer? Oh wait, ha ha, they probably would be that stupid….
Jesper…I feel when the mutiny comes you will have little say about it – I mean, it’ll probably happen on a new thread and be over before you catch up
102 WWYCD // Oct 18, 2012 at 5:39 PM
Ibiza
Aye that sounds ideal to me that Corchia from Sochaux seems a cracking player from what I have seen, not much worse that Debuchy but a lot younger. Pieters still seems to be optimistic about NUFC and am sure Carr has scouted a load more LBs (maybe get el toro back? haha)
I just dont think Debuchy fits in with the overall plan for the club presently….if he wasn’t Cabayes friend would we all be for getting him in?
103 jesperfuglsang // Oct 18, 2012 at 5:40 PM
Yo…I just read a while back in the papers that he was now first choice LB at Lille and that Man Utd and Chelsea were looking at him
…I went with the notion that he most be good then (I honestly haven’t seen him more than twice against FC Copenhagen)
104 WWYCD // Oct 18, 2012 at 5:42 PM
Ibiza
Oh no my friend am all for that haha as u say brings balance to the blog ‘I got yo back’
Nar even am not mackem enough to go for those tickets wait til Tonytoon comes along

Haha fair one mate I know he is rated highly in France so that has to be a good thing. Must admit though I thought he was a pure prospect didn’t realize he had graduated to first team football

Yo…Not Pieters….don’t forget he had that one bad game against England – he certainly can’t play for Newcastle, we should be winning the league after all. Is he repaired yet? Anyone seen him playing any games? Seem to remember someone saying he’s useless at getting forward and spends the whole game in his own half (outrageous for a defender).
Don’t worry, I’ll take to fifa13 later and sort us out a new FB…by tomorrow all will be answered….phew.
786….Interesting stat there about wor Benny. Seems he’s edging his way towards being a purple.

Yo….On second thoughts, I have a bit of an issue with people who use smileys on here. I’m a reformed poster you see
B*ll*cks….back to boot camp for me it seems.
Cap’n……I would never suggest anything like that about my superior…but yeah, basically.

Haha oh aye I forgot about him playing against England and suddenly everyone was a expert and he was utter sh*te. I do recall he had trained for a week or so and before that was out with a broken foot seems a bit harsh to judge him for me but the experts have voted I suppose haha
Am sure during that match he was very attacking though and had a few good runs just failed to do the defending part well. Pretty sure he is back 100% now though I might have to check out a PSV(?) game and see what he is like

And whats wrong with a smiley these days? Have u been bullied into this decision my friend?
112 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Oct 18, 2012 at 5:53 PM
Yo….So you’re as good a scout as me then (PSV?)?
I’ve only seen him play a few times before, but looked fairly decent. I seem to remember he covered CB quite well too, lord knows we like some versatility in the team (although with el toro covering GK so well, you may have a case there).
Lesh….You seem to have gone, but I am eager to discuss the following with you further…
lesh // Oct 18, 2012 at 1:28 PM
ppb – Lord High Admiral Ibiza has decided that you’re to be hung, drawn and quartered me lad!
I like the way you think, but don’t let Jesper know, he will become suspicious.
Anyone reading…..Please feel free to enter in to some football discussion…we wont bite. No promises on plank walking though.

Haha is it PSV he plays for? I mean really if it isnt English whats the point in watching it
Oh I forgot he could play CB I bet his contract is running down by now as well I think we have a transfer scoop haha best friends with Krul as well….could we possibly bring in both him and Debuchy imagine the nights out those 4 rascals would have
Aww poor el toro I still love the bloke but we really should of tested his goalkeeping in those 10 minutes
118 Mister Tuff // Oct 18, 2012 at 5:59 PM
I’ve just applied a cold flannel to my forehead and I now think my sanity has returned. I do not want to be a pirate with a fake German accent anymore.
I think we will be in for Debuchy in January well I hope we are. I cannot imagine what Debuchy (and his friend Cabaye) will think if we do not. Debuchy has declared to the world that he wants to play for us –he has clearly set out his stall. Imagine if Dastardly does not come a calling in January –Debuchy will feel that he has been well and truly abandoned/shafted –his despair may spread over the Channel.
AP has said that we need a CB –from the horses mouth –so much for those who have said we did not and that Williamson is doing a good job.
It also appears that Ashley will divert from policy if the player and amount of wonga, oops sorry, I mean dubloons and pieces of eight is acceptable, (applies cold flannel again) I mean money is agreeable.

Its ok lad we will sort this all out I will ring the head teacher in the morning and u will be allowed to do as u want again
120 toonarmydownsouth // Oct 18, 2012 at 6:01 PM
This thread should be presented to the F.A as evidence that the international break shiuld be scrapped! We need sunday to get here sharpish!!
121 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Oct 18, 2012 at 6:01 PM
Yo….I just don’t know. Sounds about right and it’s outside of the best league in the world, so who cares?
Versatile – Check
Nearing the end of a contract – Check
Has a friend at the club – Check
Has an injury record – Check
Already split fans opinion – Check
He’s as good as signed mate.
On Enrique, I feel the players probably felt sorry for him. We definitely should have tested him more, I mean he’s bordering on hobbit size.
122 WWYCD // Oct 18, 2012 at 6:05 PM

Hes a cert to sign, are u Sherlock or am I? I dont mind being Watson tbh
Aye probably right, didnt see the logic of putting him in goal tbh he is tiny and has never been able to jump high maybe they were betting on us not having a killer instinct against him
123 Super Magpie // Oct 18, 2012 at 6:05 PM
After reading through today’s articles I feel abit more upbeat about the club, although I thought we wanted a CB in the summer. It’s clear that its llambias that is the one not going ahead with transfers, not Ashley.
We would still need a FB and a ST even if we did bring in a CB,
I think the lower down the table we are, the more desperate we’ll be to get players in.
124 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Oct 18, 2012 at 6:07 PM
Yo…No. Please don’t say anymore on it. Nothing happened, I hit myself. It was attention seeking behaviour. It wont happen again. He/She loves me. That’s not to indicate he/she had anything to do with it. I’m simply clumsy.
Tuff….Pirate with a German accent is surely living the dream? If not, you clearly have greater ambition than the rest of us, which I suppose would explain your disappointment with the summer window. Hope this comes across as the joke it was intended to be. On to serious matters, it certainly wouldn’t look good in France if we didn’t go back in for Debuchy. Not saying we need to raise our offer, but to show no interest would surely cause a few grievances.
Tads…Although they could just look at the blog over the course of a season – not sure it would hold up that it’s down to the international break at all.
125 jesperfuglsang // Oct 18, 2012 at 6:09 PM
Ibiza…I heard that
up you go to the crow’s nest matey!
…ppB and I have had a word with the cabin boy Lesh and he has learned his lesson
Okay I’ll leave again (don’t make me come back) Nah…I’ll see y’all later
126 Super Magpie // Oct 18, 2012 at 6:09 PM
Tads
Do you really want to be on the blog on Sunday if we lose? The place will go into the biggest of meltdowns.
127 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Oct 18, 2012 at 6:11 PM
Yo…..Not sure about Sherlock. Perhaps I can be Graham and you can be Alan?
Super….They were only joking about a CB before, now there serious…honest.
Within any business you need people to play different roles to balance things out. At the end of the day it is Mike who gives people these roles.
Dereks is to make things run and to keep costs down and profits up.
Pardews is to get the team playing well, get results and to push the club to spend.
Ashley will call the final shots depending on which of these makes the better case for each decision.
They’re all to blame. Get them all out of the club.
That was weird….what happened there.
128 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Oct 18, 2012 at 6:12 PM
Jesper…Heard what? I’m just say up here, watching the seas, chatting to the occasional seagull. No harm here cap’n. You run along to your cabin and let ppb give you a nice foot rub. All is in order here. Arrggghhhh.

Looks like the restlessness is creeping in.
I bet you’ve been dying to say that for ages.

Well if its love I will leave it be but if it happens again I will drag u out of that unhealthy relationship kicking and screaming if needs be!
Can I be Carver? I think he is more suited to my err general outlook
131 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Oct 18, 2012 at 6:19 PM
Yo…I think you may have misunderstood which Alan I was talking about. Think more along the family lines
Super…Aye, my inner neggar is just dying to come out. Or maybe it’s that my inner neggar is dead and has simply rotted out? Lovely thought. Joking aside, I have been questioning things lately, but have come out of it as positive as ever. Just waiting for my latest patch of daffodils to flower and then I’ll start whipping y’ll into shape
Of course I mean that in a completely non threatening, nor bullying way. As if!
132 Mister Tuff // Oct 18, 2012 at 6:19 PM
Ibiza – expanding my thoughts further -following on from the Canal+ documentary about Cabaye – it would appear that the French speakers have formed a natural group amongst themsleves (I would not call the group a clique). Bad news on the Debuchy front would clearly be a topic amongst the group which may or may not be a good signal of the clubs intent/ambition.

I forgot that you were the bully on here.
You know it’s disgraceful what you do, making everyone agreeing with you against their will. I’ve had enough of this, I’m going to have to disagree with your post…
Wait! Please don’t hurt me!!! I was just joking. I agree with everything you just said. I was stupid and did a bad thing there. I’m sorry…
On a serious note
Lets hope we F*cking smash the mackem scum on Sunday.
I’ll be very pleased. If we lose get ready for a rant. Ofc it will be after the real Doomongers have left, because they just post irrelevant crap.
135 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Oct 18, 2012 at 6:31 PM
Tuff….Indeed. You would hope that Pardew or someone is discussing this with our current players though, to try and keep a hold if there are indeed any issues amongst them.
