Alan Pardew was asked this afternoon if the execution of plans for the summer transfer window have already started, and the answer was yes, and Alan has also talked about some of the youngsters at Newcastle, and whether they need to go out on loan and whether they will be good enough.
Alan Pardew – process for summer transfers already started
This is what Alan Pardew said today:
“Yes, it is. Our process has started.” “It’s important because I have to start planning for next year.”
“Is Sammy Ameobi going to be good enough? Is Armstrong going to feature next year, or do I loan him out for a bit more experience?”
“I have got Remie Streete, who is doing particularly well in the development group – is he going to get a game?”
“Does he need to go out on loan? Massadio Haidara has not had much action.
“They all need to be answered, those questions, in the next few weeks.”
We know 17 year-old Adam Armstrong, who was the Wor Jackie award winner a couple of weeks ago, is a potential youngster who can make the breakthrough to the first team next season.
Remie Street – 19 year-old center-back
And it’s nice to hear that last year’s Wor Jackie award winner – South Shields born center-back Remie Streete – is also looking good these days.
We also think that in the summer the Newcastle manager will need to make decisions on some of our youngsters who have been out on loan, like Shane Ferguson, James Tavernier, Conor Newton, Mehdi Abeid and Haris Vuckic – as to whether they have futures as Newcastle players.
Shane Ferguson has hardly been on the bench this year at struggling Birmingham City, and Haris Vuckic very rarely gets a start on loan at Rotherham United.
And it seems clear that this is shaping up to be a very important transfer window for Newcastle – with lots of players leaving the club and lots of news ones coming in.
What do you think?
Comments welcome.
Note: Lewis Williams is in his final year at the University of West London (UWL) studying for a BSc (Hons) in Construction Management, and he is busy on his dissertation on Site Waste Management Plans and he has a survey he needs filled out.
This survey is for anyone who has been part of a construction project (past or present) that used some form of waste management on the project. See if you can help him with they survey here.

Comment #1Ibiza…Ibiza I beginning to think I could coach this team. As manager I would of course just put the spot on my forwards for not scoring enough and if all else fails I would put on Marv and Benny and blame them 🙂
All along I will rest assure that everyone else on here will blame Ashley (he hired we for Christ sake 😉 )
You guys are mad…mad I say! 😉

Comment #4Yep, preparations are in place for the next transfer window. The script writers are already composing the stock answers to explain why non of the 2794 players we were linked with actually made it “over the line”.

Comment #6dear mr pardew
you ask “Is Sammy Ameobi going to be good enough?
could be good squad player give him games
Is Armstrong going to feature next year, or do I loan him out for a bit more experience?
play him this season for more than 5 mins so you can make an informed decision
I have got Remie Streete, who is doing particularly well in the development group – is he going to get a game?
no loan him out
Massadio Haidara has not had much action
no he hasn’t sell santon or move him to the right and have left and right footed people on the right side its not rocket science
They all need to be answered, those questions, in the next few weeks.”
I answered them in 5 mins and that includes copying and pasting ur stupid question if it take you 2 weeks to answer them I put it to you mr pardew you are a buffoon

Comment #7Ian Toon,
You’re always about so I’m sure you’ll get this, I saw you post on the previous thread deliberately trying to provoke an argument while at the same time saying you won’t give him a platform, and as for abusive posts, have you forgotten the random insult you hurled at me even though we haven’t spoken on here for months, all the while pretending to know me, you really are a sinister weird type of bloke. LOL ?

Comment #11Jail – I wish I was omnipresent! You need to exercise your imagination somewhat more- I have not met you at a football match home or away. However, it appears( at least to me) that you raise the same issues as Jail at large as you do on here. You also have a direct no nonsense approach which makes you transparent as JFA – if you think outside the box( yawn) you’ll work it all out. Not everything is as it appears.
Your ok but you still should take on board what I mentioned to you some 15 months ago- on here. Oh and you should lose weight in my opinion.

Comment #21Ian Toon – you posted earlier:-
“Why would I wish to be embroiled in a synthetic argument when my time can be spent in a more respectful environment.”
Pray tell, where can this “more respectful environment” be found. Share the location of this new found Arcadia with your fellow Toon supporters. You know it makes sense.

Comment #26On thread…Is it not extremely telling that Pardews response about our summer activity was only about our youth players being able to step up or not?
Mind, I guess he’s just keeping the big signings on the hush. Ha.

Comment #28G2,
He’ll have to fit it himself, it’ll be a cheap plastic from France designed for the back and he’ll just have to try and make it fit at the front, as soon as he’s finished and it’s looking half decent it’ll be sold while him and one of the players wives are out shopping.

Comment #32Jail ha! 🙂 Ibiza is right. All Pardew dares to talk about is a few young players we already have in the squad. I’m sure we’ll get a couple of young incoming for 40K a week each as well (or less). No problem then and we’ll be fighting for a bottom 10 position right from the start of the season.

Jesper…I didn’t ask you to finf him, that would be unkind! What more could I ask for? I think i’d prefer it if he went to Newcastle a bit more often tbh, you know, show some actual interest. Madness! 🙂
