  i like the modle we have in the recrutement area, for me it proves there are players out there good enough to play in the prem in the top half, and will not break the bank to get them,
  i understand this mean we will always be a transition club for these players,( the ones good enough)
  and even though i dont like obertan, i will not nock the club for buying him,

  this is how i see the club being run

  ASHLEY,
  he has set out his plan, buy good tallented players from struggling clubs,, get them under 26 tie them to long contracts, sell on for a proffit

  CARR
  i think he has the hardest job of all, he spots the tallent and sounds out the agents

  LAMESASS
  his job is negotiations, whether that be coming in and going out, putting a package together that suits everyone

  PARDEW
  his job is to train what he has and get the best out of them on match day, try and keep everyone happy, in most other clubs he would have a say in who he wants, but i doubt he has here,, if he did, he would be flying all over to see players, and he knows A CB is the most important pposition that needs filled right now,,

  where i see this going wrong is both lameass and pardew,

  lameass thinks he is a negotiantion god because of the AC deal, but i would not like to guess how many deals he has screwd up for us,
  and his statments he makes, he proves he is not a football man with the crap he comes out with

  PARDEW

  for ASHLEY to get the biggest return on his money on players, pardew is the wrong man, i think he is to defence minded, he is to stubborn, he picks his fave players and not always the best players for the job

  i think players value would go up if pardew played a more attack minded game

  he went all out attack v man u and scored 3, man u scored 4, but he will not play man u’s attack every week, but he chose to play defencive v norwich scored 0 but got a point,,

  i think he will have his pance taken down v reading this weekend,,we do not play as a team and they do

• 2 rainrix // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:46 AM

  Yeah “daily mail” love it to happen although i cant see it happening really, take anything the fail says with a pinch of salt.

• 3 Beattie25 // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:46 AM

  Not another De Jong!

  We fcuked up with the last one!

  He isn’t even a striker?! Or a LW!

  Bullshit

• 4 ajcrawfs // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:47 AM

  is guy really been seen at the airport? or was that just someone pissing around?

• 5 MacToon // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:48 AM

  How much does he want in wages? Would be my question.

• 6 Transfer Sage // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:49 AM

  torq

  from previous

  I think QPR can afford the 8mil for remy upfront but they will try to do so many deals it will be better to spread this fee for all players over years.

  The fee upfront to the agent wont be anywhere near the 8mil so easier to afford that.

  I remember west ham, cant remember the player, stealing a player off liverpool (i think) just as he was about to start talking to them, by paying his agent something like 700k to tell him to go to west ham.

• 7 rainrix // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:49 AM

  beattie… He can play in the 2nd striker role or the number 10 role. Anyway i don’t see cisse as the kind of striker who can play with a partner a player directly behind might suit him better

• 8 jesperfuglsang - captain of the lemon crew // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:49 AM

  Torq…I find it strange from a business point of view that OM would accept QPR and Schalke’s offer in installments when they have accepted our cash up front offer?

  …doesn’t make sense for them to do!

• 9 magpie1987 // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:50 AM

  Hi lads, long time reader first time poster. Has proud posted today?

• 10 Transfer Sage // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:50 AM

  beattie

  siem is better than luuk in my eyes…i appreciate a different player but a very good one.

  The downside to this is that he is a second striker/AM so would probably mean cabaye playing a more withdrawn role.

• 11 Ben3arfa // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:50 AM

  completely different fish to Remy?

  We can target the best young players all we want, if we dont sign any of them then we’ll always be shite

• 12 lewytoon // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:51 AM

  nothing anywhere about a airport….. what did you hear

• 13 ajcrawfs // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:51 AM

  is this guy friends with pieters, krul?

• 14 q8igeordie // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:51 AM

  We need to get bodies in and quickly … relegation is a b*tch… if we lose to reading at home .. then its relegation for certain… the reading game is a cup final for me

• 15 magpie1987 // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:52 AM

  Any news from proud today?

• 16 catchy in norway // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:52 AM

  q8igeordie

  norwich should have been to

• 17 Transfer Sage // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:52 AM

  jesper

  It’s strange that it would happen…you would have thought they would want the money upfront to spend i themselves….unless they aren’t desperate for the money and QPR have maybe got some agreement about barton put in place?

• 18 jesperfuglsang - captain of the lemon crew // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:53 AM

  I like Siem De Jong, but our priority should still be a forward that can play out wide and a CB.

  …Lamearse need to stay on target (he acting like a kid with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) FOCUS damnit!!!

• 19 ajcrawfs // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:53 AM

  on the previous thread someone said he was at the airport before the article in the DM came up so thought it seemed legit

• 20 Beattie25 // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:53 AM

  Rainrix

  If Cisse gets injured what then? We would be left with a AM effectively.

  Cisse needs creativity as part of a forward 3. We need a LW/SS. Cabs can play AM to good effect. Signing Siem would be pointless.

• 21 jesperfuglsang - captain of the lemon crew // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:53 AM

  *he’s

• 22 ajcrawfs // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:54 AM

  siem plays striker as well i thought?

• 23 yorkymag // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:55 AM

  40yorkymag // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:51 AM

  Having had time to reflect on Monday madness,it’s hard to have any anger towards the player or the Newcastle board
  Firstly I am not a fan of batman and robin but they have put an excellent offer on the table for a very good player but have been gazzumped by a desperate man.
  Our issue is that the the one thing that could have helped us secure the signature is our league position .
  A point at stoke ,a point at old Trafford and A win against either west ham or swansea and remy would be in black and white
  The blame rests fairly and squarely on the coach and his team
  26 points would have been 11th in the table vs bottom ,if you get my poin
  Pardew I am afraid is the real issue

• 24 BelfastMagpie // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:55 AM

  I’ve got a suggestion Mr Llambias.
  Can you do this deal quickly please ? Are you capable of doing a quick deal ?

  Please dont waste another two weeks pissing around with this one. Or we will get mugged off again, by Qpr or Southampton or one of the other big clubs.

• 25 Rotonda heights // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:56 AM

  Great if true but I can’t put myself through all this again with another de Jong!!

  And if we have 9M where the hell is our CB? Willo = another defeat.

• 26 lewytoon // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:56 AM

  ah i saw it, hopefully is true, nothing on twitter though

• 27 Beattie25 // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:57 AM

  Siem would only work if Andy Carroll came back.

  He’s a bit like Nolan but better.

  Wait a minute…oh god no…not gypsy!

• 28 One comment a day // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:57 AM

  Sage from previous thread.

  Totally agree mate, just saying ‘are they’ not that they have lost their scouting ability. They just seem to be having a lot more failures lately.

• 29 TorqToon // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:57 AM

  TS – You’d be surprised the figures talked about with regards agents fee’s for a Remy deal. Just think Ba > Newcastle from west ham and that would give you an indication.

  It’s confusing – very confusing! But hopefully one way or the other we will know today.

  De Jong seems too good to be true to be honest. And at £9mil looks cheap. Don’t know if its got any legs to this one bit am going to do some digging – of course !

  As I just said on a previous post – he would slot seemlessly into a ACM role with cabs and HBA with Cussen up top as a ‘loan’ striker.

• 30 jesperfuglsang - captain of the lemon crew // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:57 AM

  TS…beats me

  …I just find it a bit strange (whether they need the money or not who wouldn’t want it up front?) I don’t think they want Barton on their books, but I could be wrong

• 31 rainrix // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:57 AM

  Beattie… Play like barcelona with 6 midfielders? .

  Cisse’s barely been injured since he’s been here, that cautionary withdrawal from the brighton is the only one i can think of.

  That being said all in all i agree with you we need a winger/striker who can cover if cisse is injured but isn’t unhappy playing on the wing of a front three week in week out.

  Anyway its the fail reporting this i doubt ajax would let him go anyway.

• 32 tequilamag // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:58 AM

  Yorky, how exactly would a few more points on the table have made any difference. Remy is going to QPR for the money not because QPR are a better option for football reasons.

• 33 TorqToon // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:58 AM

  Cussen ?? I mean Cisse !

  We haven’t signed a new player and I felt the need to announce it !

• 34 Transfer Sage // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:58 AM

  beattie

  If this player is signed instead of a striker/left forward then I will not be as happy as I am with us being linked.

  However if he is another target and not instead of but as well as then I think it’s great.

• 35 Rotonda heights // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:59 AM

  yorky

  you coud give the likes of pardew, allardyce and pulis the best players in the world and they’d still tell them to hoof it and play for a draw!

• 36 tequilamag // Jan 15, 2013 at 9:59 AM

  Rotonda Pardew never said we would not be outbid , that was EDs spin not a direct quote, Please read

  http://www.nufcblog.com/2013/01/11/alan-pardew-newcastle-will-not-be-outbid-for-transfer-targets/

• 37 q8igeordie // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:00 AM

  Catchy .. I am the biggest supporter of ashley and co. But im man enough to admit that they are taking a big risk here.. this is bullsh*t .. there are thousands of players around the globe … why cant we sign any player right now .. he doesnt have to be a french international .. he could be from asia .. samerica and north america .. africa .. whatever … just sign a f*****g player

• 38 TorqToon // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:00 AM

  Jesper – Believe It or not – Barton is regarded highly in France! They would like to keep him at the club and QPR want him off their wage bill. So wouldn’t be surprised if that’s part of any deal.

• 39 MacToon // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:01 AM

  One comment a day…….. why did you post under a different name last night? Was it for a laugh?

• 40 nufc1984 // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:01 AM

  Tequila – I watched the interview and that’s exactly what pardew said!!

• 41 King Arfa // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:02 AM

  where is PROUD???

• 42 Robby Bobson // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:02 AM

  Seen this guy a few times in the champions league and trust me he is special….was watching out for the much hyped ericsson but this guy kept stealing the show.

  9 mill doesnt seem realistic.

  I see Gomis has been linked now, decent player too but titally different to de jong.

• 43 jesperfuglsang - captain of the lemon crew // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:02 AM

  Torq…guess does French people are daredevils lol

  …I would never have thought that in a million years, but good for him!

• 44 tequilamag // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:02 AM

  Nufc84 read the transcript I posted above, the answer is totally different from Eds headline.

• 45 Szarka // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:03 AM

  We need creativity, and he might solve this problem. If we play 4-3-3, and he can play winger than its good, or maybe in a 4-4-1-1, as a withdrawn CF it could work.

• 46 One comment a day // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:03 AM

  Mactoon, ha ha no mate it was someone who posted the same comment 3 times. So I copied and pasted his comments cos I was sick of him!

• 47 GAZ09 // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:03 AM

  Has Proudtobeamackem showed his face on here yet?

• 48 nufc1984 // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:05 AM

  Proud has realised that he’s full of it and gone and crawled back under his rock. He will no doubt start a new profile and start spouting the same rubbish as before and yet none of us will learn and we’ll probably all get sucked into it all over again. Lads like proud get their jollies in life from having adoration of people who think they are itk when all they are is pre pubescent losers with nothing better to do than wind people up.

• 49 jesperfuglsang - captain of the lemon crew // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:05 AM

  Isn’t it nice to have something else to talk about know

  …I feel like a Caffetier coffee now! Maybe a biscuit or something…hmm!

• 50 MacToon // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:05 AM

  Ha ha ok… I get it, looked strange like. Not as if it was a wind up post anyway.

• 51 Beattie25 // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:05 AM

  Transfer

  I’d rather us try and spend £3 million of our budget on a box to box powerhouse that would allow Cabs to push up to the AM role than £9 million on a AM who could do a job in an advance position but under Pardew we never get into those positions.

  If it was as you said, as well as, I’d be chuffed. It wouldn’t he though, not at 9 mill.

  To be honest it isn’t goin to happen and o await the next big link to a deal that may never happen.

  Don’t forget NUFC are master manipulators of the press. The only official note we had on the Remy deal was Marsaille apparently accepting our offer. Everything else (and even the initial bid) could have been false and NUFC let it run to either draw attention away or give the fans the illusion of trying.

• 52 magpie1987 // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:06 AM

  Any word from proud?

• 53 ajcrawfs // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:06 AM

  could this be like what happened last january with Cisse?

• 54 BelfastMagpie // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:06 AM

  Mactoon being a crap detective again. Just give it up mate, you’re no good.

• 55 One comment a day // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:08 AM

  Mactoon, I realised afterwards it looked suspect but I tried to do it again and it said woops you have already said that. I don’t know how he did it 3 times!!
  Anyways it got shot of him! Cheers!

• 56 Robby Bobson // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:09 AM

  Beattie25…i like how people like you keep thinking everything is a big conspiracy.

  Like Ashley gives a flying f*ck what we think to go to all that trouble to pretend to do something.

• 57 Transfer Sage // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:09 AM

  beattie

  A lot of these stories are just fabricated by the press…carr was in holland, he saw ajax therefore we have big 9mil for de jong….nor substance as of yet.

  I think you are right…no way would we be bidding for de jong and remy….that would be too much I feel.

  So I do agree I’d rather have sissoko and a 5/6mil striker than just de jong.

  But if they club want to sign him I wont criticise them for spending a lot of money on a very good player.

• 58 John Tudor // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:09 AM

  in talks with llambarse ?????

• 59 BelfastMagpie // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:12 AM

  Proud is hiding out. He’ll be back later to tell us we signed Remy, but he got a phonecall last minute from Qpr & they offered more money & that things change all the time in football.

• 60 nimo // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:12 AM

  we need someone who can hold the ball up as the ball seemed to bounce further off papis then he could pass it against norwich .. gomis could be the answer in my opinion the new didi dogba

• 61 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:13 AM

  Anyone seen Pompey have released a player called Williamson? No relation to wor Mike, but my ITK antenna is going nuts.

  Beep Beep Beep (yes my antenna beeps, none ITKs wouldn’t know this, as they’re not in know…of course).

• 62 Beattie25 // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:13 AM

  With regards to Remy and his potential replacement I’ve been struggling to think of a player who could fill that role at CF/LW?!

  Any thoughts?

• 63 MacToon // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:13 AM

  Belfast, I see everything lmao, it was for a laugh but I think you’d have to be there maybe lol

• 64 neilinho // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:13 AM

  How many reckon Ashley is playing the long game with Remy? We all know Ash is a bit of a player. Why sign Remy now for 8+ million, when we can let him prove himself in the EPL with QPR til the end of the season in the hope they still get relegated and then exploit Remy’s relegation release clause and get him for around 5 million in summer! lol

• 65 Transfer Sage // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:14 AM

  Belfast

  Things do change in football which is why you should never claim something done until it is all signed.

  But then again proud said it was signed, which if true means he can’t talk to qpr.

  He either got duff info or made it up.

• 66 yorkymag // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:14 AM

  Tequila
  My point is that if you compare bottom to 5th bottom ,there is an argument both clubs could go down
  Had it been 11th against bottom the money though I agree important would be less of an influence
  I guess it was rally another excuse to have a. Go at the incompetent Pardew

• 67 BelfastMagpie // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:15 AM

  Mactoon my last post was proper detective work. You’re just a poor mans belfast.

• 68 nufc1984 // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:15 AM

  Is this the same de Jong who missed the easiest chance I’ve ever seen in my life against vasco in a friendly the other day? Oh good! High calibre finisher, that’s exactly what we need. only getting him as he can’t show his face in holland again!!

• 69 Ketsbaia9 // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:15 AM

  We should be going for Alderweireld, Sulejmani and Denswil from Ajax. We don’t need to spend £9m on De Jong. Joke.

• 70 dubzy // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:16 AM

  You will be out of the club if you continue to give away our trade secrets.

  You already explained why their are countless bleach bottles in the med and no the beeping.

  You have much to learn young padawan

• 72 Beattie25 // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:17 AM

  Problem is with Remy if he accepts 85k wages now and flops then no club would offer him near 85k even if he was on a free.

  He’ll gave to come down to the NUFC offer is QPR are relegated. So he’s got a lot of faith in his own ability and that of QPR’s.

  Wish we had that belief!

• 73 Bambams // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:17 AM

  Cant help but laugh, only our club can take so long to get someone over the line !

  Like most have said, let him go to Rangers – short shortsightedness by Remy.

  Right Toon who are we signing today before Arry decides to gazump us !!
  He knows what he is doing, preventing the Toon from improving our chances of avoiding the drop……..

• 74 TorqToon // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:18 AM

  NUFC1984 – is that tongue in cheek? Surely you aren’t basing his whole rep and career on 1 miss?

• 75 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:18 AM

  TS…Don’t be jealous because I’ve broken our big winter signing story, you’re better than that

• 76 MacToon // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:19 AM

  lol Belfast, it’s do or die for Proud today by the looks of it. Wish Rotonda had answered my question last post but he must have missed it so I’ll let it lie for now

• 77 nufc1984 // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:19 AM

  Sage- I’ve only really known of proud in the last few weeks. Correct me if I’m wrong but has he ever given good info? If not I would assume it is made up.

• 78 tequilamag // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:19 AM

  Remy looks like he has made his choice, going for the money now, if he cared about his career he would not have gone for QPR. We play them second last game of the season and I sincerely hope we relegate them on that day.

• 79 Transfer Sage // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:21 AM

  then you do not know me well at all….I am not bigger than that, I am very petty woman haha

• 80 nufc1984 // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:21 AM

  Torq- yes tongue in cheek. Scores a couple of sweet goals against city in champs league. I like the lad, not sure we need him, but I like him. Just his miss was a classic. Be on paddy mcguinness next misses DVD!!

• 81 yorkymag // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:22 AM

  Beattie
  If the figures are right
  Naearly 50k a week for 16 weeks close to a million even if qpr go down and then he will have to settle for a paultry 45k a week with another club so he is well in pocket
  And the agents have a double wammy
  Seems sensible to me on his side

• 82 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:23 AM

  Would you like me to credit you as my source? Remember, if he doesn’t sign it’s your head

• 87 TorqToon // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:25 AM

  NUFC1984 – He has privy to some level of info (I believe) as has shown to be correct in the past with debuchy and Cisse.

  He stood firm last night even after the QPR thing emerged and he was being laid into.

  If he is guilty of anything it’s the decisive post about him having passed a medical, sign and assigned a shirt number. (Of course this COULD still be true – !)

  Hearing bits of info etc is great, bit sometimes it’s best to hold back on firm statements. Stk
  Don’t believe he should’ve been subject to a witch hunt last night.

• 88 jesperfuglsang - captain of the lemon crew // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:26 AM

  Wouldnt that be nice!,
  It may of course be the reverse with Remy scoring the winner to send us down

  But I like your plan much better

• 90 TorqToon // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:28 AM

  NUFC1984 – Good lad. And my apologies – you just never know on this blog. A sorts get spouted!

  And it WAS a very special miss – the skill to miss from their was WORLD CLASS!

• 91 TorqToon // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:29 AM

  Has he got a ‘key ring’ too? ’

• 93 GeordieDan // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:29 AM

  I was too angry to even talk about this last night but even in the light of this morning I woke up and I’m still fuming about it.

  Dirty Arry deserves a smack in the head yet again for his pathetic/slimey tactics and as for Mr Remy? I mean what the ****!

  He rings up Cabaye and Ben Arfa to say how much he’s looking forward to playing with them only to change his mind and join the worst club in the Prem and play in front of 18000 fans just over money?

  What a mercenary T**T!!!

  Yep, apparently I am still RAGING about this. Can’t believe how much shit its left us in AGAIN!.

  AAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhhh!!!!

• 94 tequilamag // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:30 AM

  Yorky if reports are true that Remy was so disillusioned with football he was considering quitting the game then It would seem that his head is not in the right place. He was always going to be a gamble only time will tell if weird eyes Redknapp has backed a winner. I still think we will avoid the drop but then I prefer my glass half full.

• 95 Mister Tuff // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:30 AM

  Being outbid or not.
  Extract from the Journal on 11.1.13

  “He said that Newcastle are unlikely to be outbid on either fees or wages by any of their rivals.
  “I don’t think that will happen,” he said. And he added that outside the top four, hardly any clubs will be prepared to blow their budget during the rest of the month.
  “Not a lot of clubs are more flexible, there are only a handful. I would suggest we are being as aggressive in this window as anyone.

  This is all part of the plan to get Luuk de Jong in. Fail with him so sign his brother, who is brilliant and I’d love to get him in as long as it doesn’t effect getting a CB in. We lack creativity in midfield. Even with cabaye and Ben arfa in same team it’s only 2 as cisse isn’t anything but a goal scorer so why he was on Wing this season I don’t understand. Jonas has an average decent cross rate of 1 per season. This guy will create a bit more, play him in behind.

  Krul
  Debuchy (new guy) colo? Santon
  Cabaye tiote Anita
  De Jong
  Cisse
  Ben arfa playing a free role giving him license to do anything he wants

  On proud….Is anyone really shocked he’s not on here at the minute? Clearly we were in for him and possibly still are. It would seem from from OM have been saying that Remy was in England to sign with us but there have been further developments since then, as also confirmed by OM.

  Not saying he wasn’t just guessing or not, but he is an older poster, didn’t change his username to share his “info”, so I get the feeling he at least believed most of what he said at that time.

  What am I saying? Grab your pitchforks and let’s hunt him down!

• 98 Bambams // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:31 AM

  What IF…….

  REMY did our medical, we spotted something and wanted to ‘alter’ wage …say by 5-10 grand a week,,,,,, Stay with me. Remy not over the moon and speaks with Arry who offers loadsa dosh ‘pending’ medical…… Nothing signed yet !

  On newsnownewcastle the OM chairman has stated he has not decided yet but did mention QPR have deep pockets. Still a chance he could accept our lower offer, especially if he looks around their bus shed stadium.

  Opinions ?

• 99 magpie6699 // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:31 AM

  Independent just claimed OM director saying Remy has not yet decided between QPR and Toon – breath not held – written him off already anyway,

• 100 Black and White with an army lol // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:31 AM

  theres no way in hell QPR can come out of relegation spot unless they beat every team forth coming which by all means the top teams cant even do that, and for remy if he does go to QPR well thats a waste of his career and he should know it

• 101 catchy in norway // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:33 AM

  tequilamag

  please

  both us and QPR are in a relegation battle,

  its not like he is chosing a relagation team over a european chasing team is it,,

  as it stands right now, we both have a chance of going down, he has chose the one who will pay him the most

  and please bare in mind,, that 2nd last game it could be him scoring to send us down

• 102 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:33 AM

  Torq….I’m supposed to have a key ring? Right that’s it. I’m becoming a rogue ITK. Rule book is out of the window (or off the fence).

• 103 yorkymag // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:34 AM

  Tequila
  Me too
  We will send qpr down and then sign Remy on a fraction of the fee ie his release clause ,which I hear is £3m
  And pay him less than the original offer
  I knew I had missed something maybe lambias is a genius after all

  Nice chatting must go to work

• 104 TorqToon // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:34 AM

  Ibiza – I completely agree. He could’ve ducked out of the blog and come back under a different name at any point – yet stuck with it. I like the bloke to be honest – and feel the attitude last night and this morning was unfair.

  Glad I’m not on my own.

• 105 ilovetoon8788 // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:35 AM

  Siem de jong will be a great signing as well. Could be the answer to link our midfield with Cisse who looks so isolated, during matches he’s practically playing on a different island.

  Either way knowing how stingy our owners are and how much of a gamble they like to take, i’ll believe when i see him in black a white shirt.

  i wouldn’t be surprised if we didn’t sign anyone and Pardew will go having Saylor and HBA is like a new signing. *yawns*

• 106 Sazzer // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:35 AM

  Value of De Jong went down with that miss. He is now in bargain territory hence the link.

• 107 TorqToon // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:37 AM

  Ibiza – Have you know read your ’101 things an ITK should know’ handbook??

  A keyring with the Toon crest on is a must. As is a copy of a season review that doesn’t involve a relegation !!

  These are football players we are talking about and their god is money end of

  If we expect to get an international striker for £40k per week we are dreaming

  We should of paid Ba £6mill over 3 years(we got him for nothing and he owed us nothing so £6mill over 3 years would of been a steal for us but the powers in chargs couldnt see a golden goose we alreagy had and will now have to pay through the nose to get anyone half as good as Ba

  Some posters on here just dont realise the position we are in.We have 1 decent striker,1 decent central defender who wants out,a midfield who create and score no goals

  Say Remy is getting an extra £40k per week its only £2mill per year (and is reasonable for a French international and is £2 mill a year too much for Ashley when he is going to lose £60mill when we go down

  I dont think Ashley or Llambias have learnt any lessons from our last relegation.They are chancers who are gambling with our premiership future again

  See you all in the championship

  God help us

• 110 ganiyu // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:38 AM

  Danny graham for sure

• 111 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:38 AM

  Torq….I guess people we’re trying to take the info with a pinch of salt, but seemingly the deal was close and people have got excited as per usual and now feel let down. Proud is just the easiest target at this point. I have no doubt he’ll be back once the dust settles and he can actually chat to people rather than just have abuse thrown at him.

• 112 tequilamag // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:38 AM

  Catchy, I understand we are both in a relegation battle but clearly Newcastle are a better option if he wants to further his career. We have a core of top French international players, Remy clearly has put money over everything. I will bet you right now that Newcastle will not go down. If we stay up you abandon your crusade against Pardew if we drop I will leave the blog.

• 113 Black and White with an army lol // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:39 AM

  IMO Newcastle are a massive and proud club, if there was passion in football these days when players join clubs not for money but for the passion, Newcastle could attract top class players from all over the world regardless of our current position in the PL, i dont know why but in a few seasons time i think our beloved club wont be competing with the top clubs like manu/city chelsea ect, they will be competing against us

• 114 dubzy // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:43 AM

  ITS ALL COMING OUT NOW LOL

  I want to hear about bids, lets see plans b, c & d sharpish. No time to ponder

• 116 nufc 11 // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:51 AM

  Interesting wonder is of the molde of van vart or sneidjer?

• 117 spennymoor-mag // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:57 AM

  Would b a fantastic signing but if other clubs are after him that’s our chances dashed already. Any player who we are interested in,if other clubs want them,we won’t get them! Say all you like about Ashley and him doing things the propper way but we are embarrassing like! I’m sick of reading all these shitty rumours about players. But where’s the BIDS at FFs

• 118 Seba29072 // Jan 15, 2013 at 11:06 AM

  Beattie 25 – he is a CF/SS, awesome young goal scoring talent….just awful comments on this site constantly.

• 119 jon.c // Jan 15, 2013 at 11:54 AM

  When it comes to transfers we let the world and his wife know who we are after, other clubs can go in sign a player and then let everyone know,why cant we be a litte more discreet

• 120 JP...from The Rock // Jan 15, 2013 at 12:19 PM

  Who could we sign apart from perhaps that Aubemeyang guy that is very fast, skillful, can play on the wing and would like to join us this window?

• 121 Pete Toon // Jan 15, 2013 at 12:44 PM

  Hey Guys this is my first post on here but have been reading the blog for years!

  First of all like all of you i am very disappointed about Remy but we all have to move on now! His attitude is awful and could potentially have injury problems. We all know that Pardew would have tried to play him upfront with Cisse in a 442 system which wouldn’t work! We Don’t need another 6ft plus striker in our team! We need someone with some skill and pace to unlock defences and create some things! De Jong is technically a great footballer who can create and score! he is only 23 and is dutch who seem to have a much better attitude than the frence… just look at Tim Krul…. i really hope we can pulll this off because i think he will be the link that we have been missing this season and it will enable Cisse to be a lone striker with someone sitting just off him…. Hopefully Cashely and Pards will realise that they have to do something in this transfer window otherwise we will go down and they will have a lot of very angry fans! I hope we get Moussa Sissoko thru the door and then at least two centre backs but like all of you i wont be happy until i see them in the famous black and white..

• 122 Pete Toon // Jan 15, 2013 at 12:46 PM

  sorry about all the posts did the fist on my mobile and said it didn’t work :S

• 123 tweaked // Jan 15, 2013 at 1:48 PM

  we can hope this is not another wet dream, and they actually bid for him now and not 1 day before end of jan and then give us a story of how they tried

• 124 NEWEXPATMAGPIE // Jan 15, 2013 at 7:14 PM

  About Remy:

  If he wants to go to QPR for the money and play at Loftus road in front of 18,000 max support, then its okay with me!

  Proud does not deserve half of the crap being thrown at him on here, having just made a mistake in trusting a dodgy source! No apologies needed for laying low for a while son!

  What would really crack me up is if Remy went there and QPR got relegated anyway? He goes there to make his money, and we get him on a free afterwards? The thing is would the club still want to sign him in the summer after he,s pissed us around for money this time around?

  This is all dependant on, ” IF”? he still goes to London? Last i heard he still has,nt signed for any-one! Holed up somewhere in UK, considering his options? Hope this gets resolved one way or the other soon!

  As for Siep de Jong, he is a better all round player than his Brother Luuk. Would AJAX let him go Mid -Season? No, i don,t think they would! Plus he would demand a huge salary and his agents would screw us for as much as they could get!

  For these reasons, i think any move for Siep is a non-starter!
  It would be great if we got him but i just don,t see it happening !
