It seems that Alan Pardew took a little time off this week to go on a coaching course, and it seems to have done him a lot of good, as he realizes just what a fantastic club Newcastle United are – even if we have our ups and downs every season – and they are usually downs – if we are honest. 
Alan Pardew – loves it at Newcastle
This is what Alan said in the local press today, and he says he still loves life on Tyneside:
“I went on a league coaching course this week and came away knowing how lucky I am.” “To be manager in front of 52,000 fans is great. It is a fantastic club – I love it here.”
“There is nobody more determined than me to turn this situation around. Hopefully I can do it with my captain.” “No season can be written off. Every season is very important because it builds momentum and confidence.”
“Everton are an example of a team like that. We are where they were last year.” “They had a great second half to the season last year and look where they are this season. They have been injury-free and on a nice run.”
“They have had close games, like the one against us recently when they edged it 2-1. We were winning those close games last year.”
Newcastle fans may be getting just a little concerned with the current situation at the club, with less than two weeks left in this transfer window, and at the very least we need a striker and a center-half brought into the club – and there’s still the Coloccini affair to be sorted out on Monday – and that’s a really bizarre situation for any club to have to handle half way through the season.
Unfortunately it had to be Newcastle.
Some would say - of course.

most people here give blame to pardew as well as Ashley.
The general consensus is that Ashley and co have underspent in the summer, didn’t improve the squad to the right level and left us woefully short of quality and experience outside of the first 11.
However most people also accept that pardew has made mistake as well and that he hasn’t got the best out of the players when he has had them available.
Nobody is saying it is easy for pardew but likewise it isn’t the impossible job he is making it out to be.
I back Pardew and will judge him over the full season, thats my stance. I do, however, call for the immediate dismissal of derek llambias.
13 geordie157 // Jan 18, 2013 at 10:55 AM
quality cb and Sulejmani that will do for the Jan window.
As for the Nancy left back, if he’s good and available then get him in. Just because a CB and ST are the priority it doesnt mean you should not be looking to improve other areas of the team too. You can’t stand still in football, something i hope we have learned from the summer window!

not pardews fault
- not enough quality in the squad players
-injuries (except hba, just for you jesper haha)
-youngsters not having come through as expected
pardews fault
-repetitive set pieces, which do not even work
-not finding a solution to playing ba and cisse in the same team
-bizarre substitutions in games
Then there are things open for more debate like motivation of players, caving into Ba, formation, players out of position too often, no real style.shape to the team.

20 richyg01 // Jan 18, 2013 at 11:02 AM
And in another line coming out of France, L’Equipe are reporting that Nancy left-back Massadio Haidara is still to reach an agreement with Newcastle over his possible move to St James’ Park, with the Magpies understood to have tabled an offer in excess of £2million for the 20-year-old.

markacckus
Way to easy an excuse. You talk like it’s a new phenomena. We were rubbish before injuries because of the stupid reversion to 442 when 433 had been magnificent for us and cabs, benny and cisse.
Playing ba and cisse for so long in a 442 was never going to work. As for injuries, Marveaux has had to wait ages and only just now got a game and should have been played left of a front 3 with ba and cisse rotating in the middle.
No manager has to tell simmo, willo and krul to hoof it so that we have a worse long balls played record than stoke. It’s by choice not design.
No manager has to tell the players to sit on a 1-0 lead no matter how early in the game they take the lead.
No manager has to put Sammi on ahead of Marveaux. Etc , etc
No manager has to play Shola for 90 mins etc , etc
If we lose or only draw at home with krul, debuchy, colo, santon and saylor in our defense, that would be unforgiveable.

23 croftus5678 // Jan 18, 2013 at 11:05 AM
@17 agree but the ba/cisse was not as bad as we fans are making it out to be ! look how many goals they scored together in how many games and list the striking partnerships that did better then them.
most fans was only crying because cisse was not scoring as many as last year and in fairness he was never going to.

Rotonda…You were asking about the Ibiza cup yesterday, did you see my response?
25 geordie157 // Jan 18, 2013 at 11:07 AM
Yes of course, sacking Pardew is the answer, why didnt i think of that! Sack him now, get new manager in who joins after the window closes and gets us relegated.
All we need are a few signings and a few players back from injury ie Saylor and Ben Arfa.
And yes Pardew isnt the best manager, but get behind him and the team. Aside from Moyes i dont think anyone could have done much better with the small squad, numerous injuries, players out of form etc. We need to get to summer, stay in the premier league and improve the quality and depth of the squad. Ship out big earners that are in decline like Jonas and fringe players like Gosling and Ranger.
If all we sign in this window is Debuchy and a centre back, even that will make a huge difference. Shore up the defence but also add quality going forward as Simpson gets all confused when he crosses the half way line.
26 Transfer Sage // Jan 18, 2013 at 11:08 AM
croftus
The problem with Ba and cisse as a pair is that to get the best out of one the other was sacrificed
it happened to ba last year then cisse this year.
They couldn’t play together and both get goals. The team looked good with Ba left but terrible when cisse was to the right.
I think it had to be one or the other really, especially if Ba wouldn’t play left.
27 Pardews Parsnip Bonce // Jan 18, 2013 at 11:08 AM

29 Markaccus // Jan 18, 2013 at 11:11 AM
Rotonda… That’s one fault I can accept… And it was down to him being to soft on ba and cisse. He should have stuck to 443 with ba wide. He funked off anyway so it didn’t placate him. Definite mistake there by pards. But people saying better managers would cope better with injuries, I disagree. Wenger and mancini’s teams both lost form during injury prone times, and their squads are much better than ours. Just saying.

Transfer Sage, morning mate. It was Pardew’s fault that he thought Ba and Cisse would work – they didnt , and havent for Senegal. When he signed them he said Ba would pkay short, with Cisse the striker furthest up the pitch. Poor research by him and the over vaunted Carr.
33 richyg01 // Jan 18, 2013 at 11:16 AM

Why all the negativity towards Danny Graham he would be a good signing for the squad he knows how to score in the premier league and the two main points hes a geordie and he supports the toon thats worth more than anything in my book.The chances are he would stay loyal also.
39 richyg01 // Jan 18, 2013 at 11:23 AM

He will definitely start Shola.
I just don’t get what it is with Shola, he’s been at the club through a hole heap of managers, but every single one of them has seen something in him and given him a place in the squad, why do we not see anything in him on the pitch?

42 croftus5678 // Jan 18, 2013 at 11:28 AM
@26
nope your right we did not look as good but they still had a great scoring record with them both in the team both last season and this (before ba left) not matter what happens i could not blame our strike force this season as we went though a fair few games (cabaye out and marv not 100% fit) with no creativity and our defence has been far more than poor imo.
now if cisse does not score as many as ba did there is no excuse for fans who was calling for ba out to blame pardew.
and our position in the prem means it will put a hell of a lot of players off coming to us so i do not think we can go for the worlds best players here i think the club have signed players with better quality than what we should be getting so i will not moan if they sign ngog who “could” be a great player instead of a rooney.
pards aint done bad neither has ashley if players dont wanna come to us what can we do ?
we only have so much time and its not a case of “do you wanna come for £x yes or no?” it doesnt work like that so unfortunatly every player we go after takes time and if the player i.e. “remy” messes around it means 2 weeks are down the drain.
43 Shot Bru // Jan 18, 2013 at 11:28 AM
Cheik the toastie…..I agree with you, I have a shocking feeling Pardew will start with Ameobi, assuming the game is on tomorrow.
Another thing, i reckon we won’t sign a CB. The plan will be to get Colo to play till the end of the season, pray Saylor comes back and stays fit, buy haidara cheaply for LB and use Santon and Williamson as cover for CB.
Ashley will wait till the summer to pick up potential free transfers in Douglas and whoever else they have scouted.

Danny Graham could be a goog signing. Cheap, local lad and his work rate is great. He has scored some good goals in the PL too. Danny Graham > Shola anyday. Shola can’t play 90 min, too lazy. For me Shola is decent to put on the last 20 minutes and should never ever start a game in the PL again.

Good morning to you as well sir.
I think that was poor by pardew regarding Ba and Cisse.
I don’t blame Carr for that though, he did nothing wrong, he brought us a very good striker. All clubs have players which cannot link up but are used at different times. It’s up to pardew which striker comes in, he did say carr gives him a list and he decided, then dekka does the deal.
I just think there are a lot of problems going on now.
Hopefully 3 points tomorrow and a few players coming in will lift spirits and make things easier on Pardew and the team.

56 oo aa demba ba // Jan 18, 2013 at 11:37 AM
Pardew is definitely at fault for the shocking football we have played for the majority of the season. Defensive 442 against teams like Swansea, West Ham etc have cost us. With the attacking players we had in Ba, Cabaye, Ben Arfa we should have been looking to make them have to defend us.
Now the main problem is our defence, against Norwich (basically a championship/league 1 assembled side) we were showing little attacking threat and they were managing to counter a fair few times with more attacking options than we had defenders, if that game was against a team with a bit more quality we could have been turned over.
I’d definitely take Danny Graham, good strong goal scorer who wouldn’t cost a lot, definitely a good option when you consider our only two senior strikers are cisse and shola. My only worry would be that we would offer him pennies to try and take advantage of him supporting the club

62 Transfer Sage // Jan 18, 2013 at 11:44 AM
If Danny Graham is brought in alongside a pacey striker or a winger then it’s good…if he is the only forward player we get I don’t think its enough and doesn’t cover the left side forward role we need.
Graham got 12 goals last year, played in a swansea team that was all about possession so can keep the ball and play that style, he is only out the team this year as michu is bang in form…even still he has 4 in his last 5 off the bench.
He would be a very good squad player a probably willing to play 2nd fiddle as he is a toon fan.
Get him in as he will get us goals.
Then go and sign a gourffan as well…a forward come winger…perfect front 2 we could do with this window.
Get cissoko and then mirin in to.
Cissoko is available for 3-3.5mil according to his chairman, gourffan is in last 6 months of contract so cheap, graham is for 5mil apparently and then mirin would be 5mil.
Not a huge outlay to get some good strength and depth in the squad.
Then look for the bigger signings like PEA, alderweireld or yanga mbiwa in the summer

Now this could be an interesting experiment.
Southampton sack their manager when they are above us and also after allowing him to spend quite abit in the summer.
Newcastle are keeping their manager after not really spending / recruiting enough in the summer
The question is who will do better for the rest of the season?

Adkins getting sacked . Got to feel sorry for him after all hes done for Southampton.
I do agree that Pardew has been too soft on Ba, and ‘promising’ him a more central role this season in the first place. Well, he got his move to Chelski anyway!
Pardew has proved he’s a good manager last season, when we did better than anyone imagined.
He still has my backing to get it right, but needs support right now from Lambias. CB and Striker needed please!

If he has been on a course let’s hope the 1st thing he learnt was if you have a number 9 then play him in his best position,and not the number 7 one..
Also we should have had players in by now to make sure we win these next 2 games to ease the pressure.Because if we don’t win tomorrow and get at least a draw against Villa I fear the worst.
Pardew has made his mouth go all season about being tired after europe and not a big squad.Well pardew kick his door in (ashley’s) and lay it on the line.Get more bodies in.

I want an Arsenal away first 75 minutes performance tomorrow, personally would play young Bigi as he hunts the ball down and presses high up the pitch, unlike Jonas who just stands on Santons toes.

I like your team but Santon is often caught out of position after an attack and Jonas usually covers him. Marv certainly wouldn’t do that and we all know Pardew will want to keep it tight at the back.

If he was to go the club could still bring in new players anyway, Carr has some good players scouted.
It’s no different to taking over and having players already there, they would just be coming in at the same time as the new manager.
I just want Pards to turn this around, seems genuine if nothing else.

@ibiza
haha im awfull, will never get the hang of it
Using the word “para” for everything will be a step up for me so gonna try it out in May ha
205 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:12 PM
Shearermania….Also very important to know to avoid an embarrassing situation.
206 DokToon // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:15 PM
a donde esta mi transferos… (dont know the spanish for transfer, so i figure to add an “o” to the end of it… makes it correct, right ibiza?)
207 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:16 PM
Dok….Looks good to me. To answer…Yo no sé.
208 roblee7 // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:17 PM
also, since 08/09 season with totals from incomings and outgoings, i make it that we should be around £38,000,000 in profit, that is since MA bought the club. However, if he see’s this as being owed to him for previous debt, we may never see most of this profit. HOWEVER, these figures do not make reference to the huge difference in salaries being paid now to say 5 or 6 years ago, so we should have plenty dosh

If we were to introduce all of our new signing(s) too quickly it could ruin our progress and style. Ha Ha Ha.
210 hadthetshirt // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:18 PM
Roma after Santon and according to the crack we said 15 million and here you are.
Surely we cant sell any one else till we have players through the door.
211 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:20 PM
Rob….Another factor to consider is that £24m “profit” on transfers was made when we were relegated. I would imagine some of that went towards the cost of relegation, but no idea how much.
212 bzak12 // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:20 PM
OMG Nine o’clock this morning checked the odds on Pardue to be next manager to go stuck a fiver on. 12 oclock heard on radio premier manager had been sacked get in I thought until I checked sky sports. How the hell can Pardue keep his job when Atkins gets the sack with his record. As much as I think he is arrogant he is doing a great job at Soton would take him over Percy anyday.
213 ToonMauritius // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:20 PM
Friends, i’m tired, awaiting for transfer in
it’s not easy
i’m thinking its the same for you all
214 Munster Mag // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:23 PM
No way I’d want Atkins over Pardew.
215 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:24 PM
bzak…Fancy putting a bet on us to lose tomorrow then?
Mauritius…..Is it the transfer window?
216 bzak12 // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:25 PM
Ever hopeful perhaps Atkins was sacked because Soton have agreed to sell Lambert and Lalana to mags?
217 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:26 PM
Munster
Finally a bit of sense!
218 bzak12 // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:29 PM
Ibzatoon last bet before Percy was fiver to win @2/1 on mags at Brighton a no brainer I thought shows what I know. If I bet on Reading its likely the match will be postponed.
219 Mister Tuff // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:30 PM
I’m hearing rumours about a new CB called Etienne Tayleur. I’m not 100% sure about this -I’ve managed to get a photo and i’m sure I’ve seen him somewhere before. I’m not claiming any scoops though:-

220 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:34 PM
Mister…Does look familiar….Let me guess, he has a bit of an injury record?
Bzak…I think you may have been one of a few who thought we’d do well at Brighton. Gambling may not be your forte.

French article on Benny off to Arsenal at 18 m €.

ibizatoon – yes, thats true like, but guess it doesn’t include any tv money, money from ticket sales, etc….

Norwich had an offer for Hooper turned down by Celtic.

TDS, there are truly some mad people on here. Why would we want Atkins here? !
227 roblee7 // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:43 PM
last thing we need is ben arfa leavin too!
228 richyg01 // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:43 PM
@226
Coz we don’t want Pardew!?
229 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:44 PM
Rob…It certainly doesn’t consider any other costings, so hard to judge with any certainty, but it’d be safe to assume that as we’ve only just reached the point of breaking even that when we were relegated it cost the club some money and that players sales would have covered a part of that.
230 ToonDownSouth // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:47 PM
Atkins is pretty much Pardew mk2. No chance I’d swap them.
231 roblee7 // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:48 PM
anyone else a bit bored of the constant french links? I mean, how many countries are there in the world? And the french league is hardly the best, id say quite a way off premier league, german league, spanish league, italian league, id say the portuguese and dutch leagues are the most similar standard wise. i mean, if we’re after bargains, would the Greek league not be a good place to scout, due to the terrible financial state of their country?
232 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:48 PM
Richyg01
What and you think under adkins we’d rocket up the table to europe?
Im all for making a positive management change, but for one that takes us forward not sideways or backwards
233 roblee7 // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:49 PM
ibiza – would love to know where we really stand – we must have a fair amount to throw at this window…i hope anyway
234 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:50 PM
Roblee
For me if were looking for young exiting players we should be scouting more in the german and dutch leagues
The spanish and italian league players command big fee’s and big wages usually
235 bzak12 // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:53 PM
Agree Atkins seems a bit of a dick but can get teams out of championship on small budget.
236 roblee7 // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:54 PM
toonarmydownsouth – good call – out of interest,how many scouts do we have? surely we dont just go with G Carr all the time?
237 Sazzer // Jan 18, 2013 at 1:59 PM
Newcastle target a 17 year old Afro-Chinese wonderkid centerback named Newman Ju Stlike from Bejing Red Dragons reports Hong Kong daily mail. Newman just got back from injury and expected to pass a medical. The fee reported are to be 160 m ¥.
238 Rotonda heights // Jan 18, 2013 at 2:17 PM
Adkins had 2 back to back promotions, came in to the premiership with arguably one of the weakest squads, stood his corner and still played football and was starting to acclimatise, culminating in coming back from 2-0 down at chelsea.
No he wouldn’t be top of my list, but we are talking the realms of attainable managers who could possibly do a better job.
Having said that, with :- Krul, Debuchy, Colo, Saylor, Santon, Anita, Cabaye, Marveaux, Cisse, we only have to replace Shola with PEA and Jonas with Benny and even Pardew couldn’t screw that up!
239 magicbus // Jan 18, 2013 at 2:24 PM
I dont want your love but I will have De Matteo
240 hadthetshirt // Jan 19, 2013 at 1:21 AM
