Were Favourites (equal with Bolton)to sign Sturridge I think a great option Fast, good on the ball and a good finisher, £12-15 Million would be a good deal in the current climate (Wickham 9mill ahaha) can see a striker being the only signing that will go in the 1st team and maybe Charlie.... Cant see Jonas sitting on the bench tho ? we could defo do with signing a left back an right back (Played with taylor in wrexham academy, not good enough unless hes improved a LOT) would like Clyne from watford and maybe Sordell for back up striker ?

direct copy from the London Evening Standard:

Chelsea's need for a combative midfielder has increased following the news that Michael Essien will be out for up to six months due to a knee injury.

As a result they have made an official enquiry to Newcastle over Cheik Tiote, two months after Standard Sport revealed they would make a move for the player in this transfer window.

The 25-year-old joined from FC Twente for £4.5m last summer and made such an impact Newcastle signed him up to a new six-and-a-half year contract in February.

But Chelsea, as shown by their pursuit of Tottenham's Luka Modric, aren't put off by a player committing to a long-term agreement and are prepared to meet Newcastle's £15m valuation for the Ivory Coast international.

£15m.....if Modric is worth more than £27m then Tiote is worth at least £20m. That said there is no way we should sell, he is central to our hopes next season. Mind if Ashley can make a £15m profit in one season he will take it without a doubt no matter what Pardew or the fans think.

Ssn bacsically contradicts that saying that a enquiry hasnt been made and personally i would believe that more than paper talk.

Don't talk daft, he got 14 yellow cards, didn't score many goals. 15m is over value for him. 10m tops

Newcastle have said nobody has enquired about Tiote.

Use your head before saying something silly lad... Henderson got 3 goals last season, as an attacking midfielder... Tiote is an out and out holding player, not his job to score goals... and as holding players go, only maybe Alex Song was better last year... and regarded among many pundits as the signing of the season last year next to Van der Vaart...

Henderson was sold for 20 million... you think Tiote is worth 10?... you tell me who s talking daft?

KRTOON

Would consider striaght swap for Sturridge and Kalou. And sign Matuidi to then replace tiote. I love Tiote but if we can get two strikers I would do the deal.

Ed is someone putting something in the brown ale tiote linked with chelsea but then ye get idiots on here coming out with a swap for sturridge or even madder a swap for sturridge and kalou chelsea will be looking in the region of 25 mill for sturridge and 20 mill for kalou in my maths that makes tiote a 45 mill player although a fan of tiote and would have loved to seen him in red and white instead of black and white i think he will be sold to chelsea for 15 mill and if newcastle are lucky they might put sturridge in a loan deal with it but thats about it

{Ed042's Note - Going off what I know Sturridge is valued at around 15 to 20 million... I rate Kalou personally but rumour is he wants to go if not in first team which has driven down his value.. latest valuation I heard was Villa looking at him for around 8 million.. I value Tiote for straight cash at around 20, and the club gave him a 6 year deal in January for this very reason, if a big club comes sniffing around its not like the Enrique situation, club have the power not the player, they dont have to sell and if he wants to go they want big money... and it will happen eventually as he is a top four player... only him and Enrique are... although I think you are right... if they did offer 15 million plus Sturridge on loan with an option to buy... or 15 mil with Kalou I do think Ashley would sell}

Its already stated that chelsea havent enquired about him but the going rate for a player of tiote's stature and ability is upwards of 20 million

Tiote was th best holding midfielder in th prem last year without a doubt. I would rather have tiote than modric in my team and if he is worth 27m thn tiote is at leat worth th same. i wud never sell tiote but if we did anything under 20m wud be an inslut and bad buisness sense by fat asley

Hughton was given the push because Ashley went back on his word concerning transfer targets Hughton wanted, when he showed his disappointment to the Fat Lad, he was shown the door. Pardew is a puppet, he does NOT have any say on sales, he does NOT have any says on buys. He works with what he gets and nods his head.
No big name or expensive signings while the Fat Lads in charge, oh i hope this Quatar rumour is correct.

Blah blah Ashley to blame for everything we know

To be honest sir john hall said in his interview after the sacking of houghton he would have sacked him weeks ago

Is that the same Sir john Hall that borrowed 3m off the bank to buy into the Toon then walked away with 90m when we needed the money? Greedy Ba****d

Shocking what happened to Hughton and I'm a mackem, he didn't deserve getting let go. he would of done a better job than Pardew

Ye he might have took them down

Why can't we just sign one of the banguras, they can't be as bad as xisco. The only beneficial thing he has done for the club, is set up andy Carroll against villa. A think teteh has a better scoring record and with demba ba he could do decent, Mohammed would probably do a shola.... Come up with magnificence about 3 times a season nd then for the rest try and take on defenders and fail miserably

When xisco was bought he was a centre forward has he ever been given a centre forwards chance no
