5 Kyo // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:15 PM

He should go on loan ffs. We need established players not developmental! !!!!

6 Indian Magpie // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:15 PM

the article

7 Constanstine // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:17 PM

It’s clearly gonna be either Ranger or Sammy. Poor pardew.

8 Indian Magpie // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:17 PM

Good night all

9 nufc786 // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:19 PM

ohhhhhh i see I’ve never knew ed rated adam cambell so highly

10 89Norcal // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:19 PM

With Shola out, hopefully Adam is in the subs.

11 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:23 PM

Toon tinka
Completly agree mate
The fact is not nessiceraly the fact that we have had huge numbers injured the whole time, because we havent, but its the inability to field a settled starting 11 and find that consitency of last season and that was due to the fact we essentially had a settled squad which didnt have wholesale changes everyweek, not just in personel but in there positions too
We’ve had players having to fill in in 2 or 3 positions all season and havent even been able to select a set back 4 this season which i feel has had a massive impact on the team we’re also relying more heavily on fringe players like sammy or fergie who just dont look up to the standard required

12 Sazzer // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:25 PM

I think it says that St. Etienne planning on PEA staying. But things can happen.

Campbell…..he’ll be like a new signing! Problem solved you may as well shut up shop Dekka!

14 jesperfuglsang - captain of the lemon crew // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:26 PM

Repost:

Saint-Etienne is about to sign young Laudrup from FCN in Denmark on loan with an option to buy; maybe Aubameyang is on the move?

Rumors today have Danny Graham going to Sunderland?

…thought he was a Newcastle kid (isn’t there rule about that ) lol

15 nightfa11 // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:27 PM

sorry ed…hes not tall enough for pardews tactics..

16 nimo // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:28 PM

graham not gone to sjnderland according to laudrup

17 TorqToon // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:31 PM

Howdy Indian – don’t start that 1st rubbish again!! I thought that had died of death!?

Campbell needs and deserves a shot! Something different and unexpected!! And PACE which we seem to have a massive lack of!

18 spitfire_ // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:33 PM

Almost 1/3 of january is gone and we are not even close to bring ST and CB… AIDS for llamearese… I will not even capitals his ‘name’ anymore.

19 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:34 PM

To be honest if you look at the team and see now shola us our only back up striker to me it doesnt hey lets play campbell! It says hey lets replace ba and actually get campbell on loan whilst it benefits him instead of when he’s 21 and we’ve fcuked up another youngsters career!!

20 Sazzer // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:36 PM

They loaned Mollo as well. Article I posted says he is staying.

21 89Norcal // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:38 PM

tads

Don’t you think we need another scapegoat? Willo and Simmo are getting a bit tired.

If it wrecks Campbell’s career, so be it! We need to blame someone

22 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:43 PM

Norcal
Hmm hadn’t thought if that, what if we replace willo like we have simmo? Pretty sure theres a kit man or ball boy who can take the blame!
“did you see the little fcuker he was miles out of position it delayed our thrown in and cost us a champions league place!”

23 woolerbill // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:45 PM

Every time we hear this from Par dew we get let down ferg, Sam, Ranger, Tag, to mention a couple, rubbish the lot

24 jesperfuglsang - captain of the lemon crew // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:50 PM

Mollo doesn’t he already play for Saint-Etienne?

25 BigKirky // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:53 PM

Mick Lowes on Radio Newcastle now reckons that he’s been talking to playing and non playing side of the club and he seems sure that from what he’s been told. “there is more than 1 deal in currently in serious negotiations… When i say more than one, i dont mean 2″. Seems very positive.

26 jettson1971 // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:55 PM

we not signing anyone, get used to it!
club run by muppets, all talk no substance, typical cockneys!!

wait for the normal end of transfer window spiel!! – ‘we tried, but cudnt pull a move off’!!

27 BigKirky // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:56 PM

“They are a long way down the road with a couple (of players)” Mick Lowes.

28 hotdog // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:56 PM

Bigkirky – thank you, thank you. At last some positive news. Mick lowes has good connections at the club and would not spout his mouth off unless true. We should have had a centre back in by now for Norwich though!

29 jettson1971 // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:57 PM

Sammi, Abeid, Ferguson, Ranger, tav are not top youngsters, they are all i think over 20 or so, they are Div 1 or Championship standeard at best, so loan them out so they kno how to play football, as to be honest, watching Sammi play is a complete joke!! rest have potential, but this potential needs to be used out on loan!! long term this may just may benefit our first team! but not yet, they are no way near

30 Charlie in the Gallowgate // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:59 PM

Interesting discussion with Mick Lowes BBC Newcastle’s local football correspondent just now on BBC Radio Newcastle Total Sport on signings this month.
Hoping to get another 3-4 players in and looks like will play over the odds

31 Rotonda heights // Jan 9, 2013 at 5:59 PM

pardew’s long ball rubbish , would kill Campbell.

I am quite happy with cisse as the main man and campbell coming off the bench. it’s what pardew should have done with ba and cisse – rotation

32 BigKirky // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:01 PM

Mick wasn’t mincing his words either. He was quite emphasising the point. He said obviously Remy is not guaranteed, but we are very much interested. But surely if we are in advanced discussions with 2 players, that may well be minus Remy.

He also said that they may well pay more for players but they wont be taken for mugs.

Seemed sure that they have realised they made a rick not signing in the summer and are determined to rectify that now. Debuchy is in already, so it’s a start. Mick sounded very positive.

33 ToonTinka // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:02 PM

Tads.

My thoughts exactly.

Even the back 4. We have had perch, anita, simpson at right back.

Perch filling in for colo and williamson and taylor. And also fergie, ryan taylor, santon operating the left back spot. Granted taylor has been out for a while. Kaos mate.

34 Williamsonsuks // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:05 PM

Campbell looks like a ginger stevie watson, or was watson ginger anyway?

35 GeordieDan // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:05 PM

Just heard some very interesting transfer new on BBC radio Newcastle whose cheif NUFC commentator has spoken to NUFC offically who have confirmed that they are currently in advanced negotiation with at least 3 or 4 targets and expect a signing in the next 4-5 days max but looking to get 2-3 extra ASAP.

Very promising stuff and from as trustworthy source as you can get.

36 toonLYF // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:05 PM

He’s obviously not ready. Imagine playing Campbell as a lone striker against a PL side? He’d be a laughing stock.

37 GeordieDan // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:06 PM

Apologies Big Kirky.

Just behind you mate. haha.

Sounded very promising didn’t it!

38 davis_toons // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:10 PM

“sorry ed…hes not tall enough for pardews tactics..”
that is a good one. We need GIANT players….wait.a min..

..did someone says that Campbell lots of pace? Great! We can hoot it and pump longer balls and make him run towards it.

Isnt that how Owen scores? A long ball forward, Owen gets to it first. Shot and score.

AP: Ok, now we got a “new” signing.

39 Williamsonsuks // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:10 PM

Cisse hasn’t scored much this season but his first touch and passing have definitely improved. Probably has done him good espescially if he can get a chance back in the centre. Campbell should get his chance, maybe a run out last 20 mins for a month or 2.

Mick Lowes! Isn’t that the guy from ‘Bad Boys’? lol

43 GeordieDan // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:20 PM

I’m not sure if you can get podcasts of the BBC Radio Newcastle shows but the show itself is till on now that you can listen to live and they normally repeat stuff. This is the link:

Shot that’s Lowery lol

45 ToonDownSouth // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:21 PM

It’s interesting that Pardew gets blamed if we don’t sign players, but when we do sign players he doesn’t get any credit for them – unless they’re not fantastic, in which case they must have been ‘Pardew’s signing’.

46 Sazzer // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:22 PM

Jesper since beginning of Jan no? They are might go for Hourou, or Djordjevic if PEA goes.

47 BigKirky // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:23 PM

Yes Dan, he sounded very confident didn’t he.

Almost like he was assuring the fans and telling us to sit tight. He’s just a commentator / interviewer so it’s not like he’s trying to sell a paper. Obviously he didn’t name names but spoke of quantities and how likely they may go through.

To be honest it came across to me that it’s definitely going to be sooner rather than later that something occurs.

48 Williamsonsuks // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:24 PM

Cheers geordie, cant listen on my phone and pc blew up yesterday. Need flash player and have put custom rom on galaxy s2, not allowed update

52 GeordieDan // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:30 PM

BigKirky>

Really agree yeah.

He gave the impression that he was dying to spill names but for contractual reasons and he just wanted to make sure that he could reassure anyone who was worried that no new players would be coming in.

(That’ll be every single one of us then)

Mick has no hidden agenda at all and is a quality bloke who has had connections at the club for years and years so I don’t doubt him in the slightest.

I feel much better having heard his interview.

53 davybtoon // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:30 PM

Good stuff from mick lowes sounded like he knew who the players were aswell but wouldn’t say

54 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:30 PM

Jesper
Lol
Mick lowes “bad boys bad boys whatcha you gonna do? Watcha gonna do when lowes comes for you!”

55 Sazzer // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:31 PM

Just found that Hoarou signed for Chinese club. I got it from dated article in beginning of window.

56 GeordieDan // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:32 PM

You can listen via the TUNE IN RADIO app on your phone that plays internet radio as well. Just search BBC radio newcastle on 95.4. That works great as well.

57 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:33 PM

TDS
Especially given that pardew has got a pretty good record of signing Successful players and scouting some good youngsters

58 jesperfuglsang - captain of the lemon crew // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:33 PM

TDS & TADS… lol

59 davis_toons // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:35 PM

On Cisse..he stays on-side now…

60 BigKirky // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:36 PM

Yes Dan, very much agreed. I’d very much believe what Mick has to say, and I do.

I too am very reassured from that interview. It wasn’t just what he was saying it was his enthusiasm in saying it. No names just numbers and how far down the line they are.

61 Williamsonsuks // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:38 PM

Got it. Thanks geordie

62 Blaydon-Toon // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:38 PM

that is some good news

63 Blaydon-Toon // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:39 PM

Tickets for Norwich anyone help ?

64 Spuggy // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:45 PM

Yeah heard that from mick lowes bbc Newcastle. He said he heard direct from nufc player and non- player source and we are quite far dowl the line with 2 players but loic remy is early stage discussions at this stage.

He said the sources said we wil definitely DEFINITELY be signing players and he said more than people may think

He expected movement in the next 5-6 days.

Looks like we have other irons in the fire apart from remy. Hopeful news.

65 davybtoon // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:46 PM

Bigkirky agree sounded to me like he knew the names couldn’t say, said 3 deals very close n sounded like there could b 4, one must b just about done if its gonna happen within 5days

66 ToonTinka // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:50 PM

Disagree with this. This lad needs to be out on loan. We’re only playing our younger players because where down to the bare minimum.

Lads,

Can i get a relay of this interview by lowes? I’v always had respect for this bloke. Always pretty much tells it as it is

67 Spuggy // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:51 PM

You can listen to previous shows on bbc radio app or tune in radio so should be on tomorrow.

68 GeordieDan // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:51 PM

williamsonsucks>

Ne bother.

69 MUTINYbyLEMONS // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:54 PM

I think Adam Campbell should go out on loan for a year, not these stupid one or two month loans we do like for Vuckic who was loaned to Cardiff for a month. That will do him a lot of good.

70 hotdog // Jan 9, 2013 at 6:57 PM

Sazzer – I thought I’d read ” got it from a dead uncle” I think I need to visit specsavers haha

71 Transfer Sage // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:03 PM

Campbell is class. Miles ahead of ranger and I would back him to have a better goal return than shola

Great pace, his game isn’t about strength it’s about beating players for pace.

Same as Michael Owen, these kinds I players are the ones that make an impact young and burn out around 27/28 when pace goes and have to adapt their game, ie Torres.

Get him in instead of ranger

72 BigKirky // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:03 PM

Yes indeed Davyb

73 BigKirky // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:06 PM

Someone on here said similar to what Mick said a couple of weeks ago. Along the lines of, people will be surprised how many we want to get signed up in this transfer window.

74 YorkshiresFinestGeordie // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:06 PM

I don’t know why we can’t give Xisco a chance tbh. I don’t remember much of his first season in Newcastle but surely he can’t have done that bad to not even give him a chance when were struggling with strikers. And surely he’s better than ranger and sa Ameobi.

75 MUTINYbyLEMONS // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:07 PM

So why do people think that this Mick Lowe guy would know about our transfer dealings? Connections at the club? Isn’t that what our blog’s itk claim to have?

76 BigKirky // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:11 PM

Mutiny, Mick Lowes has been the Toon’s local radio commentator for years now and has nothing to gain by saying something or nothing. I don’t know him personally but he comes across a nice fella and I think he’s just trying to reassure the fans without burning any bridges with his internal contacts.

77 p // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:15 PM

Of course they are trying to sign 2-3 players (when aren’t we?)

Trying and getting is 2 different things.

It is all a question of whether those targets want to come enough and whether the clubs are close on their valuations.

The second aspect has been the hang up in the past when it has come to quality players.

78 MUTINYbyLEMONS // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:15 PM

BigKirky
Going to stay a bit pessimistic here and not get too excited. Though I think we will get another player but doubt the 3-4 you are talking about. If we were only get one more player, I am not sure what’s more important, CB or ST/LW?

79 Mister Tuff // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:16 PM

With the tempting snipits from Mick Lowes regarding several new players coming though the door it looks as if Santa Ashley has eventually delivered. Just shows you that the thought of losing millions of pounds can focus the brain into the required action.
My shout form the summer has been Debuchy, plus two others plus a better quality/higher value surprise purchase.
If this pans out, with the return of Cabs and Benny we should forget our relegation woes and begin a steady climb up the table.
If we get Remy and he hits form -we will not be able to complain.
Then in summer review the employment of Dastardly and Pardew.

80 89Norcal // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:17 PM

Here’s the latest I could find

“NEWCASTLE are poised to make a bid for Marseille forward Loic Remy. (9m)”

http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/369711/Newcastle-step-up-interest-in-Loic-Remy

This goes in line with an early report someone posted on the blog. cwarr07 says he expects Remy to arrive in Newcastle in the next 24hrs.

81 p // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:19 PM

I should add…

There is definitely more urgency and motivation on the club’s part this time.

Regardless of what some dips#$% on here say, MA wants the club to do as well as possible within a certain financial framework.

Not spending $20m is not a good financial decision when the alternative is a high risk of relegation.

Last time it did us a favour, getting rid of the over paid mercenaries. It would be different next time and everyone knows it.

82 ToonTinka // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:19 PM

Ahh, i really want to hear this interview. Missed it and nothing on the app right now. Hope it comes back on.

What was said in a nutshell lads?

Toon-Prodigy

83 Ulster Mag // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:19 PM

Reading this blog everyday for a few years now. Time to say hello. Hello from Ireland.

BigKirky,so basically Mick Lowes would’nt say it if it was’nt true ? Was listening on the net to bbc Newcastle,Newcastle locals don’t muck about saying what they think ha

84 p // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:22 PM

@79 don’t count on it.

I hope some fresh faces will change the dynamic at the club which right now is a losing mentality.

Pardew is key though. This mediocre manager (and his team of analysts, coaches etc) needs to get his act together.

85 yorkymag // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:22 PM

This boy is going to be a star ,he is without doubt a rare combination of Pace and composure.
The only worry is that parsnip for whatever reason does not fancy him.
I fear he will have to leave to realise his potential
I honestly believe that given his chance he would give Cisse a run for his money ,he is that good.
Let’s all hope he is able to show his real potential ina black and white shirt
.

86 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:22 PM

Big kirky
So by advanced negotiations it would be right to assume an agreement would have been reached about a fee and the advanced bit is wages etc? If so reckon we’ll see that Isimat mirin lad wasnt there a story we’d had a bid accepted then all gone quiet??

87 Transfer Sage // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:24 PM

Bigkirky

I said in December I heard the club were pushing much harder than normal to get 3-4 new players in.

88 robin // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:25 PM

Why not sign Graham instead of Jay Bothroyd he is shocking Ameobis better than Bothroyd. Harrys seen Pardew coming if he dumps him on NUFC!

89 GeordieToon89 // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:28 PM

robin – Where has Jay Bothroyd come into this?

90 colwell // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:28 PM

If Remy wants to drag his heels, sod him off and move on. After watching him the other day unimpressive would be a complement to him.

91 Big Pappa Cissé // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:28 PM

I listened earlier and he basically said “there would be more than one, not just two players coming in and he has heard this from players as well as management and that Ashley & co. realised they made a mistake in the summer”. Sounds plausible but I will believe it when I see the player holding an NUFC shirt at Benton . I also think we will se Cisse like signings, i.e. the player turning up, having a medical and then signing in the space of 24 hours without much media speculation. Anyone else think this ?

92 davybtoon // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:30 PM

He also said remy deal is furthest away out of deals happening

Tads – yea I reckon mirin will b first player in I also think sissohko will b one of them

93 Mister Tuff // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:32 PM

p @83 – if it was up to me Percy Parsnip would never have got the job in the first place. I am 50/50 as to whether peddling him now would lead to further disruption -plus I don’t think Ashley will sack him, well just not yet.
My immediate fears would be that certain players would go backwards/regress under his stewardship. Getting the additional players in is the first priority though.

94 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:32 PM

Sage
I honestly believe the best thing for the toon and campbell is to get him out on loan ASAP
Thats not a snipe at his ability or character like but he’s 18 and if he could get a full season under his belt its win win for everyone it has to be better than kicking around in the reserve leagues and if he’s half as good as many rate then there will be plenty of clubs willing to take him on loan, said the other day cant believe we havent tried to set something up with clarky at a cash strapped birmingham!
What i dont want to see is loads of hype around him but nothing done then before you know it he’s like fergie/sammy/gosling/vuckic in and around his 20′s and nowhere near his potential in the slightest and suddenly hitting that line from promising youngster to underachieving squad player

95 Dondatta13 // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:38 PM

I hope the clubs priority is recruiting at least 1 central defender, maybe even two.

A pacey striker…

Also, I’d personally slap down a £3.5M bid (activating a release clause?) for Mohamed Diame of West Ham… A marauding midfield powerhouse. A steal at that price!

We need to protect that back four, they need all the help they can get!

96 Transfer Sage // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:39 PM

Tads

I agree with you, that’s the best thing we could do.

What annoys me though is he should be ahead of ranger and possibly shola (pards did say he was on par with shola)

I think pardew is scared of playing him for some reason. Maybe a valid one but I can’t see it from the outside.

Therefore put him on loan second half of season. Reserve league teaches you nothing

97 p // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:40 PM

MT – have to agree with you.

Pardew is mediocre, hard to know whether this is a permanent slide or just a blip that many managers have at some point in their career.

Get nothing from the next 3 and his position becomes untenable.

98 yorkymag // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:40 PM

Down south
This lad is too good to go on loan but I understand your point
He is better than sterling at Liverpool unfortunately the manager won’t give the kids a chance ,good playing Fr bradford city
last night is better than Williamson as another example .
The old adage if your good enough etc is wated on parsnip

99 Wandering Geordie // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:40 PM

Inter Milan have tabled a £26 million offer for Edin Dzeko of Man C. Hopefully that will allow Remy to sign for us

100 BigKirky // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:40 PM

TDS just interpret it however you think as I don’t know what goes on behind the scenes but the was stressing the words when he said seriously advanced or whatever his exact words were.

Mutiny, I don’t blame u for being cynical on it as I too have heard all this before, but this time and with it being Mick Lowes saying it, he didn’t just say the generic oh yeah they’re looking at players. As Davyb said, it sounded like he definitely knew a lot more as there was confidence in his voice.

He even said something like he knows it could be just another media guy being fed a line, but he said it seemed more than that when talking to his contacts. Remember, his contacts aren’t just the delivery man, these guys will be staff who he talks to on a regular basis.

Seemed far too confident for it to be him being fed a line.

101 Tonytoon73 // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:42 PM

FFS. Mick lowes cannot commentate never mind know information. Howay lads get a grip. Lol

102 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:43 PM

Sage
Aye true for me shola has been used poorly recently he’s not a 90 minute player but is great when he come’s in for 20-25 mins and just bullies defense’s
Ranger i dont think is ahead of him there was all this talk of him never playing again etc then about a month before the window opens he’s suddenly a reformed player and a model pro? Personally reckon he’s being put in the shop window to fcuk him offski, well fingers crossed anyway!!

103 pizzicatochan // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:44 PM

Talking about Adam Campbell, could he be another young Owen?

104 Big Pappa Cissé // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:44 PM

I see Ba has been dropped against Swansea. If we did that in a semi final he would have kicked right off

105 BigKirky // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:44 PM

Yes Sage I remember reading u saying something along the line of that we’d be surprised at the amount we’re trying to get in.

I’m not getting excited or anything, I’m not, it’s just a lot better hearing that than many many other things which could be said.

106 ToonTinka // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:45 PM

Yorky,

Wont give the kids a chance?

We have been forced to give the kids a chance all season mate

107 yorkymag // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:45 PM

Pizzicato

Lol dont think your ever too good!
Look at wilshire broke into the arsenal team with a few good appearences then went to bolton for a season and completly went to the next level
He needs to be loaned to a mid tableish championship team who have no real pressure on them ie they know there gonna be in and around mid table, and get regular minutes

113 Pardews Parsnip Bonce // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:52 PM

Campbell should at least be on the bench especially with shola out. a pacey youngster up front against tired legs? could be worth a go. also wanna see a little more of ranger before he’s written off for good. he at least looks like he’ll have a pop. gas it all to prove.

114 perchy4england // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:54 PM

Alright lads! never really post on here but got a few interesting details on Remy on twitter. It’s a brief conversation between a french photojournalist taking pictures of the marseille team and the official marseille twitter feed. This is the text translated into english:
Florent Bodin @ Florent_Bodin
With this group in Marrakech, Loïc Rémy is not released for warm up. # TeamOM # OM
HERE’S THE LINK TO THE PHOTO OF THE TEAM:

@ Florent_Bodin
I do not know. Everybody should play after coach RT @ TeamOM_Officiel : @ Florent_Bodin Not on the bench Remy? # TeamOM

COULD BE TALKING TO NUFC NOW? PULLED OUT THE SQUAD INCASE HE GETS INJURED?

WHAT’S YOUR THOUGHTS BOYS?

115 davybtoon // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:57 PM

Remy being pulled out of squad is strange bcoz he needs games more than anyone as he ain’t been playing lately

116 Transfer Sage // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:58 PM

I am amazed sammy is ahead of Campbell.

Everything I have watched from your and reserve level suggests Campbell is far far ahead.

Don’t know Campbell but maybe he is just too nervy in training with the big boys

But pardew did say in training he was the equal of shola….so that must be ahead of ranger

117 ToonTinka // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:58 PM

I think it would be a huge gamble giving him a run in the team in this current predicament. What if he didnt hit the ground running.. We dont have the time to mess on right now. We need goals and results.

The idea is to bring in your younger talented players when the club is doing well. I deffo say a season long loan to test his ability in the championship then have a look at him

118 Mister Tuff // Jan 9, 2013 at 7:59 PM

gstadt @108 -very interesting that Remy is not even in the squad for a friendly. Whilst it could mean anything it could also mean that something is taking place in respect of his impending transfer.
I already have the vision of through balls by Cabs or Benny beyond the last four -Remys’ super speed will prevail.

124 gstadt // Jan 9, 2013 at 8:08 PM

Mister Tuff, front three of HBA, Cisse & Remy would see off most teams we do need a centre back as well desperately. Another quality CM (Sissokho) would round off the window nicely

130 Mister Tuff // Jan 9, 2013 at 8:16 PM

gstadt @124 – that forward line would have the effect of making the opposition not too bold in pressing on -(as we seem to invite now) which should allow the midfield extra time/space to pick out the killer pass. The dream had better come true!

131 Marty-Toon // Jan 9, 2013 at 8:16 PM

Yorky,

Total different scenario. If we send someone out on loan we dont have to sell them. With forster he wanted first team football. We couldn’t give him that with Krul pushing through as rapid as he was, so it was best for all concerned.

I’v heard and read really good things about campbell aswell, for me, now is not the time for a gamble like this. Especially not with our current luck at the club.

134 Tonytoon73 // Jan 9, 2013 at 8:20 PM

I’m not saying pin our hopes and Campbell and start him.

What in saying is he should have come on in the Brighton game. Be worth a go in a ‘nothing game’ to see what he is about.

Also off the bench he is better than ranger. Ranger who has 2 goals on over 50 appearances…those coming in the championship.

Also shola has 1 this season (or is it 2) not great either.

At least he could run in behind teams with his pace. Be great for the last 15/20 mins I think

Rangers’ recent appearances are a swansong imo. Quite right, he’s on ebay, gumtree you name it hopefully we might get a vauxhall chevette as a part-ex or a bag of expired doughnuts.

Even if we get a striker this window, Campbell really needs to be there or thereabouts, we cant keep producing nearly-was’s up to their early 20′sand then flogging them to Doncaster or Tranmere or the likes. We seem to be a Chopra factory.

Surely if 2/3 deals are at very advanced stages, Remy has to be one of them! Very odd that he’s been left out of the squad as he has started the last couple of games and is in need of good form! #interesting
Diame is an absolute bull! £3.5 million for him is nearly as big a mistake as us putting a £7 million release clause in good old Demba’s contract!
Another quality player I’d love us to sign would definitely be………….KSI!!!!

147 GeordieToon89 // Jan 9, 2013 at 8:27 PM

16 goals for Michu this season AND he’s not even a striker he’s like a Frank Lampard type player but Swansea have him further forward which is working well.. Cracking signing for £2million

148 ToonTinka // Jan 9, 2013 at 8:29 PM

Transfer,

In a nothing game, last ten minutes nothing to lose i agree. My problem with it, is do we bring him into a setup regarding the current situation. Lack of morale, confidence, squad decimated through injury. If it didnt work out how would this affect his development. Asking a lot of a young 17 yr old in this current situation.

4-0 up with 10-15 mins to go is the way to feed him in i think. Id much rather see him playing wk in wk out in the championship though for a season. Come back when he is around the 19 yrs of age mark when hopefully things are alot rosier around NUFC.

151 Magpies-till-d3ath // Jan 9, 2013 at 8:31 PM

I thought when I heard Remy wasn’t in the squad, that he wasn’t even on the bench! If he’s came off the bench, Marseille are probably just saving him for the league.

Michu really is my new best friend!:D

This Ranger deserves to be on the dole. He’s a very lucky boy but he’s not going to be lucky for very long.

He is being used because we are down to the bare minimum. He has no future at NUFC in the long run. I’d bet my mortgage on that.

155 Transfer Sage // Jan 9, 2013 at 8:34 PM

Toon prodigy

I agree, feed him in slowly in a winning team is ideal. Can’t always have the ideal situation though

Sometimes players thrive when thrown in, Rooney, Owen, sterling…all took their chance and never looked back.

Impossible to say he would do he same but from what I have seen he is the most talented of all our youngsters, and by some distance.

I’d have him come on as much as possible, see how he does, take it game by game and tell him and everyone else it’s not his job to carry the team. If he fails use that as motivation for him, tell him to have a loan season and come back better.

It’s got to be better than ranger…..I don’t know why you can’t sack players like him, is be out of a job if I missed that much work and was in court that often

156 Tsunki // Jan 9, 2013 at 8:34 PM

We arent going to win the Europa Cup. Its a shock I know but there I said it. So, there are two scenarios in which w can give the Campbell boy a runout, Timmy-style, and see what he is made of – if we are losing and look like thats it (generally that does mean exactly that) OR if we are 3 up with 15-20 minutes and cisse is looking knackered. Ideal situations with no real pressure or fear of failure in which he could make a quick impression.Its an idea, needs polish.

157 GeordieToon89 // Jan 9, 2013 at 8:38 PM

Tbf if we spend £10million on a player i’d expect him to be available for Europe aswell incase we do keep on going but Remy wont be available to play in Europe for us, I wonder if the board are looking at that and possibly studying other options aswell

158 Tsunki // Jan 9, 2013 at 8:40 PM

GT89 – the board are looking at the Europa the same way as they look down the staff toilet.

Transfer, Im in quite a few taxi’s, i spoke to a number of them who told me about Ranger and his timekeeping a long time before Pardew came out and whistle blew him. They were always picking him up and taking him to training. Each time he would be like ahh, im in for a bollicking off the boss again, taking it like a pinch of salt. This problem has been going on for a long time.. Im astounded he is still here. This lad is disgrace, I squirm everytime i see him pull on our strip.

166 Tsunki // Jan 9, 2013 at 8:53 PM

yorky – underestimating isnt the problem – its how to get a lad who hasnt seen the first team but has apparent talent into the running.Although it is the season to doubt Pardew can even tie his own laces, there must be a good reason why when we sell our main striker and have only Shola and Ranger ( a 30-minuter and a deadbeat) as backup for Cisse, he doesnt use Campbell. He’s desperate enough so what is happening that we dont know?

Remy played 40 games last year, 40 the year before and 20 so far this year…he plays a lot of games so can’t miss that many.

He scored a goal every other game last 2 seasons but has been mainly on the bench this year so worth a gamble.

Be great in the long run. At 27 you can still get 5 very good years out of a player if not more

I would love to see campbell given a chance, thing is if he plays him lets say against norwich he could be on a hiding to nowt, we could be up against it and it may not give a fair assesment of the lad, on the other hand he would be a great outlet on the break with all his pace, marv feeding through the middle and Campbell of the last man which he is brill at, i would love to see adam get a start at sjp as well though, i understand the loan theories but teams like arsenal could loan out wiltshire and chelsea sturridge beacuse of their squads at those teams, we have played krul from a young age cos hes good enough, stirling again at liverpool is good enough, campbell is good enough, my worry is that pardew wont drop a more senior player for a youngin, the game after norwich shola is back and AP for me wont drop shola for campbell, that is were pardew is lacking, we could be missing a big trick even now not playing or at least involving campbell, we all know about shola dont we, come on pardew show a bit more faith and balls and get this lad involved and he wont let us down, but lets not judge him on 20 mins or 45 mins, shola has had 13 years and his brother has also had quite a few chances, and i think sammy has skill but he is still far from the finished article and shola is as well after 13 years, come on give us all a bit of hope AP

Maybe Pardumb has pulled himself together and realised that priorit number one is a super CB, Willo is out of his depth and Collo seems to have lost it a bit.

Makes sense to me if it was two players, hopefully a decent commanding pacy CB and also a physical CM with a bit of presence, we are a little bit small in the middle of the park. Sissoko would be great, even Diame although he isnt that great at pass and move more a driving force.

184 two steps forward one step back // Jan 9, 2013 at 9:17 PM

roosta

I’d like Campbell to become a replacement for Strolla as super sub. Bring him on and give him 25-30 mins in a few games as a game changer as his pace will disrupt defences. We’d have to commit to playing him through on the ground as he ain’t a 6’4″ target man. That is where the difficulty might come in as Pardew’s Plan B is to try (and fail) to close down the opposition and play long balls to a target man as the counter attacking strategy.

185 flash // Jan 9, 2013 at 9:18 PM

Still sort of wondering if Remy isn’t the red herring and PEA is the real target.

I don’t really care who they sign as long as the senior players in the Pardew era through the door have all been pretty good (I’d count Oba as a squad player btw).

I figured we needed two more players but we really need more than that. It gets complicated when we rely on injury prone players so much.
We need the CB first and ideally a decent squad CB as well to replace Willo. Saylor is No3 mostly ecause he isn’t going to play a full season.
Then we need the quality forward and unless we are going to bring on Campbell at 18 to be 3rd choice another forward as Strolla is really 4th choice.

And if we do not get players in by 31st then Delboy should be sacked as he is a dismal negotiator

Ba just booked for a dive – a harsh decision by the ref – Swansea go straight down the other end and score!!

Chelski 0 – 2 SWANS lol

202 ToonTinka // Jan 9, 2013 at 9:35 PM

Transfer,

Honest, i’v never knew anything like it.

Ranger should be fed to the sharks. No hope for him. Who in such a promising situation would behave in such a way? Continously. Pathetic really. And i dont buy all this young lad this and that. If this was true? Then how come its just him and not every other 18-19-20. Thick as pig sh*t. Needs shown the door.

Ba just had a goal chalked off haha

203 Graeme // Jan 9, 2013 at 9:35 PM

Ba then scores and is given off-side lol

204 Tsunki // Jan 9, 2013 at 9:37 PM

@201 – Raise you a ROFL. Demba, is that what you wanted? You could have had that here!

205 santonthenewmaldini // Jan 9, 2013 at 9:38 PM

This is so annoying!!!!!

Why do we not put any effort into the cups ???

The League cup and Fa Cup could have been ours for the taking is pretty good if Swansea can get to the final where they will surely beat Bradford

Cant help but feel if we had played a stronger team against Man Utd it could have been us in the semi finals

Just watched Chelsea vs. Swansea. Swansea won 2-0 (a great thing my second team won’t to win everything they compete in)

…most admit both teams do play an attractive brand of football – very watchable and entertaining!

Blatant dive by ba

209 flash // Jan 9, 2013 at 9:49 PM

tds u seen him play? Bags of pace ability etc.. Yes agree his attitude seems an issue! Did not mean to get him as striker as he plays winger! If u can manage him u got good young player on ur hands! Think he is 22 or 23! @ two steps completly agree with ur points! And delboy should have got the sack already!

Got told a funny story about ranger tonight by my mate who works with this guy. Apparently rangers lass owed some money to his lass who is a nail technician so he went round rangers house to collect. She went mad and looked scared saying i dont have anything please go he will go mad if he finds you here. Next thing you know numbnuts turns up driving like a loon. What do you want you white c**t f**k off etc, etc. The guy said he was staying and ranger got in his car and went to the bank again driving like an idiot. Came back chucked money at him then back to the foul racist abuse. At this point the guy who is 19 stone starts to get angry and threatens to knock him out. Then superstar runs upstairs and comes down holding his hand in his pocket like hes got a gun. What a guy. Imagine if he had tried to kick him out-he would probably slice him up the stairs

Should work

225 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 9, 2013 at 10:21 PM

Two step
PEA seems a cracking player mate and considering we’ve needed an extra CF since before we sold ba id like the board to show some fcuking balls and get them both in but we all no the chances of that!
As an alternative aye would love to see him and tbf wouldn’t mind which one came but it seems the intrest is more in remy
Also not sure it matters which wing they play as remy can play both but so can ben arfa

226 toondebuchy // Jan 9, 2013 at 10:21 PM

Pardew put a 6.5 mill bid in for pea please

227 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 9, 2013 at 10:23 PM

Only other thing i’d say for remy is he’s better in the air and tbh we desperatly need someone who can get on some set pieces!

228 toondebuchy // Jan 9, 2013 at 10:23 PM

6.5 mill+

I’ve been wondering if Benny mightn’t be better on the left side anyway so he can cut in or go to the by line. Not as if he can’t hit it with the outside of his boot

230 Graeme // Jan 9, 2013 at 10:31 PM

TADS – great plan – whats a “Set-Piece”?? From memory, we havent scored from one in about 3 years!!

Obviously our Manager, Coaching Staff don’t think they are an important part of the game!!!

231 wingspan // Jan 9, 2013 at 10:34 PM

Thanks to the guys that posted that radio link, really made me feel more optimistic……….hopefully its not misguided optimism!!

232 bemba da // Jan 9, 2013 at 10:34 PM

Joey Barton just tweeted an NUFC fan in response to a tweet asking him to ‘push remy over the line’, Joey replied, “I think Remys decided to stay mate, we’re happy with it because he’s a big player for us and we’re trying to win the league”………..so PEA?

233 Kyo // Jan 9, 2013 at 10:36 PM

Looks like we’ll have to turn our attention to PEA. I’m glad. Remy has been wank since injury.

All sounds encouraging doesn’t it?

And as I said before Mick Lowes is as close as we’ll ever get to inside info these days.

He’s trusted by NUFC above any other Journo/commentator.

239 two steps forward one step back // Jan 9, 2013 at 10:50 PM

Very promising the Mick Lowes interview. Best ITK we’ve got ?

Still want Delboy out if he fails to deliver.

240 GeordieToon89 // Jan 9, 2013 at 10:50 PM

So joey reckons Remy is staying, i’ve got a sneaky feeling weve been using him as a smokescreen anyways, would love him to come always wanted us to sign him but I cant see our board paying £10million for a striker who will be needed in every game yet he isnt allowed to play in europa league, what if Cisse got injured or suspended for the final we’d have no strikers.. So i personally think we’ve got someone else lined up and perhaps it is that Aubagemang who knows

241 Mister Tuff // Jan 9, 2013 at 10:53 PM

Barton apparently said in an interview reported yesterday that he “hoped” Remy would stay. I suppose we may just have to wait and see what transpires. Link to inside futbol page:-

242 Transfer Sage // Jan 9, 2013 at 10:55 PM

I don’t think the Europa league will come into it In all honesty.

We have playe kids and front players in most games so not sure pardew will worry about that if remy is firing then in in the league

243 ochytoon // Jan 9, 2013 at 10:57 PM

Hmmm that interview has made me cautiously optimisitc. More business than we expect? I was expecting 1 (Debuchy) but if its true that we are a long way down the road with a number of players then that’s a huge positive. I’d have thought PEA, Sissoko and a centreback

244 p // Jan 9, 2013 at 10:59 PM

I have to say, the Remy thing did seem a bit too public and drawn out to be one of our “new generation signings”.

I know Debuchy was but, that was a little different.

Our style is to try to bring in players before anyone else knows about it and it only seems to be when the selling team shoots their mouth off that people get wind of it.

That possibly happens when the sellers want to spark a bidding war and at that point we lose some interest as we are only interested in paying under perceived market value, not on par or over it.

245 MUTINYbyLEMONS // Jan 9, 2013 at 11:01 PM

Who’s PEA?

246 GeordieDan // Jan 9, 2013 at 11:01 PM

I’d be happy with those 3 as well. And if I was being cheeky : a young, pacey striker that we’ve never heard of as well to mix it up a bit.

Well why not. haha We’re due some good luck surely?

247 Transfer Sage // Jan 9, 2013 at 11:02 PM

Ochy

It’s what I heard last month that we wanted 3-4 and would really push.

But 2 things.

1. Might not be true, could be made up.

2. Even if true, things change quickly in football and those deals could easily collapse or other clubs could come in last minute.

Hearing all the right things but in still expecting us to mess up haha

Same, would restore some of my faith in the board

250 Mister Tuff // Jan 9, 2013 at 11:04 PM

I watched the Obertan interview a bit earlier. I must say I genuinely felt a bit sad for him.
Whilst he is probably a nice and genuine lad -my god I think his belief that he should be in the France starting 11 is a bit off base.
Believing that to be true -to me demonstrates a massive self confidence – which is contrary to what has been said by the club about his game this season – that he lacks confidence. I do not think he has a future as a PL player.
I see the argument of a club to try to instill confidence in a player – but I see the lad having some future disappoinments.

251 wingspan // Jan 9, 2013 at 11:04 PM

Yeah Dan for sure mate, i was feeling a bit gloomy even tho were only a wk or so in but if that guys as well connected as it appears he is then im excited again. He was very very confident.

I just hope the players feel as confident about it because that will give them a lift for sure!

252 ToonTinka // Jan 9, 2013 at 11:05 PM

Geordiedan,

I downloaded the bbc iplayer radio app and it wasnt listed. None of the total sport programmes were. Total sport didnt even come up in the search.

I just went on the comp upstairs and listened.

Its pretty much what i’v believed all along. There was no way they could mess around in this window. Very good to hear someone like lowes coming out and saying it.

Pleasantly surprised that we are in for a few aswell. I was expecting a striker and a CB that is all. Really positive stuff.

Now to this barton tweet. Im gutted about this as i really wanted remy in. Bartons pretty much told us the crack there. Gutted is not the word actually. Nevermind, we could be surprised if there is a change in fortune. But it looks bad and a very unlikely possibility now

Toon-Prodigy

253 HullMag6 // Jan 9, 2013 at 11:05 PM

All looking optimistic so far, night gents. Early start tomorrow

254 Transfer Sage // Jan 9, 2013 at 11:05 PM

Also my last post of the day.

Rangers are annoyed and Scottish footballs new league merger idea.

Would anyone welcome them into the English game like Swansea and Cardiff?

Personally think two teams with 60,000 sell outs would be amazing for the English game.

Rangers even sell 50,000 tickets in division 3.

Just as a heads up m8, in case you didn’t read this, Remy has been away with Marseille for the last 3 days on a winter warm weather camp. He hasn’t been there to negotiate anything hence no firm offers yet.

Ties up with news the NUFC officials are flying to France tomorrow to put a firm bid in but we’ll see.

All rumours and hear say in the gutter press. Smoke and mirrors, nothing more.

We’ll be much more in the know in the next week or so I think.

262 AS MAGS // Jan 9, 2013 at 11:24 PM

Not wind up just go on joeys profile and view tweets,made it hour ago. All a smokescreen for Kieron dyers return.

263 manxpie // Jan 9, 2013 at 11:25 PM

IMO the players who where supposed to be well in to negotiations with sounds like players we’ve already showed interest in i.e last summer so could be douglas and whoever else we were after last year

264 AS MAGS // Jan 9, 2013 at 11:26 PM

Been tweeting with French journalists all day,they rate aubameyang above remy.trying to get some concrete info of them.

265 p // Jan 9, 2013 at 11:31 PM

What about Erik Pieters?

I know he is a left back but I thought he could play in the center?

Wonder if they are interested in him for center back or to cover Santon?

266 ToonTinka // Jan 9, 2013 at 11:34 PM

Geordiedan,

Toon officials were there over the wkd also wernt they? Well if lowes reckons where well into duscussions with two other players and not remy, they have to be french then? Seeing thats where they have been over the wkd.

Unless the players in question are in england.

Im sure lowes mentioned we were in discussions for remy though, but it was far from being a deffinite.

Suppose we will just have to wait it out.

Good news all the same

267 manxpie // Jan 9, 2013 at 11:37 PM

yeah p he’s another 1 he was over here not to long ago too we need another italian to keep santon happy

274 nufc_eire // Jan 10, 2013 at 12:06 AM

What about these as a couple of interesting signings out there.

Nuri Sahin on loan. Looked impressive and lierpool trying to cancel loan deal
Adrian Lopez. Looks savage and has a 14m buyout clause in his contract

I know we’ll never go for/get these players but could be interesting alternatives!

276 gfp13 // Jan 10, 2013 at 12:12 AM

How can people insult pardew so much on this blog. His tactics haven’t been spot on this season but last season everyone loved him and praised him for getting some great results. Sure, there’s better out there than him but he isn’t as bad as what people are saying. I’m glad he’s not been sacked, stability is what we need.

277 Williamsonsuks // Jan 10, 2013 at 12:13 AM

Remy deal seems like to much bother. Cant see that 1 happening. If we dont sign a striker, here’s hoping Cisse is fit for the rest of the season.

278 dazza1980 // Jan 10, 2013 at 12:13 AM

Probably not sign any one nd b same old story again the guys a joke and so is Pardew the guy hasnt got a clue his tactics r baffling but we will always keep the faith thats what we do hwtl get us a win cheer the toon up

279 davybtoon // Jan 10, 2013 at 12:17 AM

282 santonthenewmaldini // Jan 10, 2013 at 12:23 AM

Also hope we dont sign a bunch of pre contracts we need the players NOW!!!!

There are quite a lot of good players available on pre contracts as well just under 12 million could probably get us Mbiwa, Sissoko and Sulejmani

All 3 of them could play in the Europa as you can play in Europa even if you have played Champs league well although i think we will probably not try in the next round which is a shame cause looking at the way the draw is we have a realistic path to the final

Get Lescott or Richards on loan as well and we could be looking at a top 10 finish

283 Williamsonsuks // Jan 10, 2013 at 12:43 AM

Cups can be funny things. Youngsters have been thrown in at the deep end, and obviously felt the pressure in the league. If we do sign 3 or 4 players and have a fit squad, the cup will be their only chance to shine. This window could be a win win. Go to stay positive.

284 gfp13 // Jan 10, 2013 at 1:00 AM

I don’t mind us tieing players up on pre-contract deals, as long as we also bring others in now. Sissoko in a free would be great, said it for a while now. But whilst midfield isn’t what needs strengthen we can’t settle for Douglas in the summer and nobody now or a striker in the summer and nobody now. It’s all well and good building for the future with free transfers but we need to save ourselves this season. 2 or 3 signings in the right place and a safe league finish this season, then we get in some more players in the summer, even if it is just to pad out the squad a bit as our first 11 is already good enough to get into Europe. That should be the plan for the next 18 month. Once that’s done and we are back in Europe, don’t make the same mistake and not sign anyone. Push on and add more, this time replacing the lesser squad players with more meaningful players

285 Kyo // Jan 10, 2013 at 1:26 AM

@ruddy im worried but see no reason why things won’t pick up with cisse up top alone. he was really sniffing at it against everyone so im sure he’ll bang a few in. to me the defence looks poor but the midield exposing them all the time makes them look even weaker. willo isn’t good enough but he’s getting no Favours from tiote.
