Newcastle haven't even decided on a transfer policy yet and signed that woman to help with injuries which means Ashley doesn't want to spend money on players and keep the same squad. Might buy some players to b put in the reserves

No, it doesn't mean ashley won't add players to our squad. I'd bet my house on it that we will bring in 2-3 first teamers in time for final few games of pre season.

Leeds Fan coming in peace! I live in Newcastle and was out with my pals in tup tup palace on the weekend and met Yohan Cabaye I know your thinking its rubbish but we questioned him on his move and he replied why would I leave newcastle i'm very happy and premier league is the best league. he may have jus said this for us to go away but he sounded preety assuring really nice bloke to jus wish we had players of his talent!

Team against Motherwell.

(4-2-3-1): Elliot; Tavernier, Williamson, Yanga-Mbiwa (c), Dummett; Anita, Sissoko; Obertan, Vuckic, Sammy Ameobi; Gouffran

Good to see Gouffran playing as the striker, it is about time.

All eyes on Vuckic, our prodigy is finally fit and ready to step up.

Bad news, it's been way too quiet recently. We all know something silly is about to happen.

Surely these players can't be here next season for goodness sake

Jonas Gutierrez
Shola Ameobi
Vernon Anita
Mike Williamson
Sammy Ameobi
Rob Elliot
Gael Bigirimana
Gabriel Obertan
Roman Amilfatano
Dan Gosling

If we keep players like this there will be no improvement what so ever we need to do what Sunderland are doing get rid of the dead wood.

Anita, sammy and Elliot are the only ones I would keep

And Bigi as well.

Anita is a quality player. He just hasn't been given a chance or has been played out of position

Bigi was one of the few highlights last season, when he was played in the correct position (had a mare out on the right, I recall)

Deadwood leaving Sunderland?one of the best GKs in Prem gone to Liverpool. Sunderland buying deadwood not getting rid of it

Anita should be starting instead of Tiote, he is so much better on the ball. When/if Tiote wins it he then has no idea what to do with it.

You have got to keep Bigirimana and Sammi and even Jonas just for his team work and experience but the rest can go.

Im being honest here sunderland aren't buying deadwood they are buying some quality and they are getting rid of deadwood Bramble Kilgallon Noble gone and Colback Bardsley Graham Cattermole Ji going

Im a sunderland fan and I hope you's do keep Jonas because he is utter rubbish

Jonas is a good player, but he gets leggy and tired and is useless when forced to play every game.

If Pardew rotates him, he will get the best out of him.

Really getting worried now. i'm dreading the new season were going DOWN.

When is Ashley going to put he's hand in he's pocket, even a finger would do.

We need at least five top players as we are getting left behind. We don't only need five players to compete at the top. We need five to compete at the bottom as teams like norwich villa etc are stregthening.

Our squad is not as good as some of you think.

Goalkeeper fine. Defence poor mbiwa potencial but that's it he's not delivering collocini the only one with real class. midfield ok but no width. cabaye will be sold rest are average to good. Up front cisse is class a goalscorer he needs service and a strikepartner.

Look at who norwich are signing NORWICH. Also southampton.

Sunderland have today signed Giaccherini. he's what we need. He is a top four player they are showing intent. he's a big step up in quality and that's what we are competing with. They have also bid fifteen million for insigne I think he's called italy u21 star.

Palace and hull are down its probably us 3rd bottom looking at current squads.

God almighty that's sad

Giaccherini is not a top 4 player at all. A good confederatiosn cup does not make a good prem player. He may turn out to be a good buy for them, but the terms of deal left Juve with no option but to accept. Rumoured £8m transfer and bettered his current wages for a 28 year old.
It could be a good buy for them, but as many know, we wouldn't go near such a player.

Mackem aler unless its a toon fan with very bad depressiont. Giacherrini is a good buy, but the rest are averge, and there's no chance they'll get insigne.

I'm pretty sure there will be some negotiations gonig on, just wait and see and you will be proven wrong. We will finish top 10 minimum with the quality of our squad, it just needs to gel. you are the one who are judging our players just after 8 months. I reckon and hopefully we can challenge for a cup. Sunderland have more chance of going down, they are showing ambition but they are signing too many players, let alone them being average.

''We need at least five top players''

No we don't.

At worst we need 3 players, at best 1.

Not even the worst doomsday prophets on here even think we need 5 top players just to attain survival.

If we add just 1 good striker, we will have a much stronger squad than the one that ended 5th.

Go look at our squad sheet, then get back to me.

''Mbiwa potencial but that's it he's not delivering''

May I ask how many games you watched him in last season?

He played 14 games for Newcastle and was mammoth in 13 of them, only having 1 bad game.

Do you know how lucky we were to get Mbiwa?

He captained Montpellier to the Ligue 1 title over PSG, no easy feat let me tell you. He was wanted by some of the best teams in Europe and opted for us because of some excellent work by Graham Carr to convince him. Most people with a knowledge of the game thought Mbiwa was far too good for Newcastle, and some still do.

I wish people would not berate some of our top players. You are supposed to be a supporter.

If you have criticism and it is founded then fine, but if you critical of a player that has been oustanding, you really are not supporting your club or its players.

Totally agree with this post, Ashley obviously HAS NOT learned his lesson off last season. Bottom 3 will be
Newcastle
Crystal Palace
Hull

When will Ashley, Kinnear, Pardew AND our blind fans, realise our players are average and slightly above average. Quality needed but as we all know, Fat man will NOT buy established players, not stars, players who have proved themselves in the premier league, Lescott, Milner, Bent, Shawcross, Defoe.

Dont bet against bruce keeping hull up though he's a dab hand in the loan market

We don't need 5 players, we are nowhere near as bad as Sunderlands squad is/was.

All we need is a creative left winger for the first team and any others would be back up.

Will admit our CM is not creative enough as Cabeye can't do it all on his own every game. But Tiote/Anita + Sissoko + Cabeye is a strong midfield. With Ben Arfa on the right and Cisse up front we are sorted. It's the left hand side that we need.

Playing 4-5-1 is going to be our best bet as midfield gets over-ran and by-passed.

Targets should be.
1) First team left winger.
2) Back up striker in case Cisse injured.
3) Back up GK as don't trust Elliot.
4) Creative CM (would love Verratti).
5) Any top young players in any position to try to break into first team.

We don't need a left winger. We have jonas

Hmmm summers here and the air is full of the smell. rubbish! First post spot on. Rose tinted spectacles spring to mind.

Goes to show how depressing Sunderland is as a club.

They sign a bunch of mediocre players and are worried, so they come on here pretending to be Newcastle fans that fear relegation.

Must suck to be a Mackem.
