Since the team sponsor probably contributes (in some ways) to a players salary is Cisse now refusing his pay?

There's reports in france that we've made contact with Marseille over Andre-Pierre Gignac. Please, I do not want him, his record at marseille is shocking, plus he's 27. He's slow as well, which is not what we need, we need more pace, strikers like Loic Remy.

Please Joe, Alan and Graham, don't sign Gignac.

Do you mean CoCo Puppet & do as your told. Any striker is better than what we have right now except Campbell

You forgot Mike, nice to see you calling them by their Christian names but The Three Stoogies would have sufficed.

villa will be looking for two strikers, tottenham are, toon are, and arsenal, infact nearlly every team,. supply and demand we will have to pay over the odds or end up getting nobody. should be simple for ashley to understand as a busines man, and sports direct raking it in. just do it,

The thing is that this could spark a transfer merry go round.

If Benteke goes to Tottenham, Rooney goes to Chelsea, Man City sign Jovetic and Negredo, we could see a few new strikers on the market.

There could be players on the market in a few weeks, which are unobtainable at the moment.

We will sign no big name players, we MIGHT sign Bent but that is it. the excuse will be too high fees or too much wages as per usual transfer window. anybody sticking up for Ashley needs to wake up & smell the coffee. Every player we allegedly go in for signs on somewhere else, It can't be bad luck all the time. our transfer deals take weeks to happen unlike everyone one else something wrong somewhere. if you pay peanuts they will go elsewhere FACT.

How do you know we won't sign any big name players? i'm not defending ashley, but we've signed cabaye, cisse, coloccini, ben arfa in the past so why not?

Big name players no chance!

We made them in to big name players because I bet you did not know who they were when we signed them

Fact is 75% of our fans had probably never heard of Ben Arfa, Cabaye or Santon plus several others before we signed them. They are good and even great players but some are s*** to be blunt. Just like the mackems now. They will have bought some class and also some crap but at least they are having a blast and it could pay dividends. We on the other hand are asleep.!

Im sorry but I am not buying this whole cisse thing. For one I know numerous people who have seen him in the casino in newcastle. 2 if he was that botheres about his beliefs then surely he wouldn't be with a non-muslim partner. 3 sissoko and tiote are also both muslim yet they have not made an issue of the wonga sponsorship. In my opinion he has used the shirt deal as an excuse to leave newcastle gor whatever reason but is hiding behind this as an excuse.

Totally agree mate

Yup, dead right. To my mind we were always going to be looking for a first choice striker (Cisse is a second choice striker in my opnion - he showed his lack of a clinical finish last season). I would gladly take £13m.

And 4 he didn't go with your squad so he is off!

If that's the case, we'll soon know. It could be that he doesn't want to ware it whilst going through Ramadan though, this was suggested to me by a muslim pal of mine.

Cisse and Ba where still playing last year when they were in Ramadan!
I honestly think Cisse wants out, Tiote and Sissoko aren't saying anything, and they will happily wear the shirt.

Cisse can't be that true to his Muslim roots as his girlfriend isn't Muslim

Cisse had no complaints about wearing a Virgin sponsor on his top, so why is he starting to complain now.

I would say get shot off him, but I really don't think we are going to sign anyone, and we REALLY can not afford to be light in the strikers department this year!

This Wonga business with Cisse is one of two things. He either wants out OR is after a hefty pay rise and is using this as an excuse, or should I say his agent is. WHY? Surely his beliefs/Religion would be against him gambling in Casino`s MOST weekends and be against his ex girlfriend who was a porn star and maybe against his current girlfriend who is non muslim? If he doesn't want to play for Toon let him go. The Badge on the front of the shirt is far bigger than the name on the back.

SAFC fan here. Good point fron faircomment there, Cisse had brill 1st season followed by a minga of a 2nd. Could it be he himself is sick of all negativity that has followed you lot for a while and he wants out or has he heard of a bigger club sniffing about.
I was jealous you got him instead of us but now am not so sure, could he be a mercenary player. Will be interesting next few weeks in lead up to the new season. Will any of you lot be watching the Asian cup on Sky next weekend to see how the mighty PDC has done in the transfer market since you have not bought yet.

Agreed, this cisse thing is ridiculous. He cannot possibly be so offended by the wonga logo after playing with virgjn and in the BPL. I Work in Asia and you would be amazed the amount of Muslims that go drinking and smoke but get offended by the word pig. However, I haven't heard a single quote from
Cisse so it could all be b*******?

In response to the sunderland fan, I'll definitely be watching, in fact I'm pretty jealous of your activity in the transfer window but in all honesty I would love to see you guys do well, it's good for the region and I think most true fans would say the same!
Peace

I agree mate, why would he kick up a fuss about Wonga but didn't about the virgin money? I think he just wants more money and a london club

Fair enough but he has offered to wear an unbranded top are one with a charity logo don't see why there such a big fuss about this it's happened before {Ed001's Note - because he knows that the contract between Newcastle and Wonga would make this impossible. It is easy to make suggestions you know the club are unable to comply with, in order to make yourself look reasonable.}

A mate of mine is doing some elecrical work at SJP and he told me there is a lot of internal talk of Newcastle being at an advanced stage with regards to the signing of fernando torres - yes I wasn't sure whether to belive it or not but if chelsea are that keen on rooney then why wouldn't torres move

Aye O. K.

Might have something to do with a player like Torres is on over 100K a week. Sorry But we will never pay this even for the cut price that Torres will (could) be sold for.

HA ha ha ha ha, god mate get out the sun your brain is frying lol.

Are you sure he's not just hallucinating after accidentally holding the live and neutral at the same time, thereby making him the earth wire?
