Our season has been decimated by injuries and a total lack of forward planning by the powers that be during the summer months. These are dark days for the Toon and the current squad is ill equipped to fight a relagation battle. Kevin Keegan was faced with a similar situation when we were on the brink of the old third division and he pulled off a master stroke in signing "Killer" Kilcline. Pardew and Ashley need to draw inspiration from that signing and purchase their own "Killer" signings. Whilst going against current policy the following three signings would ensure our survival and add backbone to the squad in preparation for next season
Hangeland
Samba
Llorente ( Ath Bilboa)

Love 1 of these ch, but llorente we've no chance surely {Ed003's Note - No chance at all,forget it}

What I don't understand is we new from start of season we were short of depth only brought in Anita ! Other we're for devolpment squard ( pardews words ! ) so we have had over six months to work on targets, ch ec we new a possibility ba would go, where is the planning ? Half way through window and these areas till not addressed . WHY ? Targets could of Ben lined up . Penny pinching waiting to last second for cheapest option, we will end up with nobody, AGAIN ! Stop taking the piss out of the fans Ashley enough is enough .

It's players and their agents who are waiting to pick the best offer. You can't make a transfer happen if the player thinks he's good enough for Chelsea, Citeh or Man U. Look at the history - nearly 90% of deals happen in the last two or three days.

Not a rumour, just a point of view but i've got to be honest and say the idea of signing Danny Graham doesn't exactly thrill me. At the age of 27 he's pretty much at his peak years and yet for me hasnt done enough to warrant the clamour I read on here for his signature at Newcastle. The argument that he'll be a great signing as he's from the North-east does little for me either!

Just an opinion and i'm by no means saying that he could be the answer to out prayers but was wondering if it would be worth a punt on Charlie Austin, ideally along with another more experienced striker. He's only 23 years old yet has made a step up in leagues every couple of years or so and has produced so far an impressive record (173 goals in 264 games). Not sure if its someone Newcastle are looking at?

Actually, I really rate Austin and I would also like Hooper.

The two most successful teams in Premier League are Man you and Man see this season. Both teams have four centre forwards in their squad. At Present we have Cisse and Sh Ameobi.

If we don't win tomorrow we are in a relagation battle and soon form required to stay up will be top 4 form. We must be buy either two strikers and one centre back (two if Colo leaves) by transfer window or atleast one striker and attacking midfielder who scores goals.

Why are we not looking at Aspas of see Vigo around 10mil and Siem De jong (attacking midfielder who knows how to score goals) araound 10mil.

We need a centre back for today so I know it's against our policy of over 27 year olds. But I would go for Haagaland Commanding centre half doesn't miss many games with injury (unlike staylor) and bags of premiership quality. I would pay upto 5mil because if we stay up it will pay for itself and he's good for three years.

If we can keep Col until end of season I would like to see us go for Sakho or Ajax centre back Toby Alderweield.

25 -30 mil investment now will more than pay for itself (if it hasn't all ready with the profits on previous sales) by staying in premier league and also increased payments kicking in next season.

It will also give us a squad with a bit more depth which will allow the younger squad players to develope without being thrown into the first team to soon.

I agree with you, however I am more concerned about the CB issues than up front. Unless we get at least 1 CB we are in trouble as Collo's situation is not helpful even if he stays. So for me if Newcastle get a CB (qaulity) + People come back from injury, we should have enough to keep us up. Then we clearly need to sort out who is staying or going in the summer so next year we can start a season with a sqaud of players that WANT to play for us
