Surely if we try to sign Doumbia for like £20m we should try for Lukaku who would be around that price.

Doumbia isn't bad, his 1st touch isn't amazing but he can finish. I agree with you and would prefer Traore/Lukaku, Ings would probably be just as good.

There was a report saying that Ashley had to block transfers because of the lack of staff and he said if we bought bent and gomis we would of gone in overdraft and he thought they were over priced anyway. I don't really get what they mean by overdraft. Have I read the report wrong?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

No your spot on JToon it was in the mag. I posted it on here but hasn't got through. He Thought that Gomis and bent were over priced. £7 million for a striker is that really over priced. He also stripped back the media department and refused more back room staff. Only allowing for consultancy. Just goes to show he no intention of signing anyone.

Agree0 Disagree0

The overdraft statement refers to Pardew saying that if were to by a marquee signing we would had to go to the bank to get the money out the overdraft. I guess all that extra TV and sponsorship has gone in Ashley back burner. A. Don't remember anyone asking for a marquee signing and B, I wouldn't put Gomis in that bracket.

I have just read that AP will have funds to spend in Jan (not that this means anything).
I honestly think, 2 new CBs are needed as Taylor seems to be a liability of late (even last year).
Two new forwards and get shot of Cisse I think is something else we need to do.
(but this is very optomistic thinking that we will get all them players) Maybe one young lad we have never heard of, who is 16, and never kicked a ball will come in.

But they also say that Newcastle are looking into getting a new keeper as we are vulnerable to bids for Krul.
How does this work when we have been told (countless times) that we DO NOT NEED TO SELL? As we have money, not in debt etc.

So how can we be vulnerable, the club does not have to sell Krul (it will be there choice to reject a bid before Krul gets a choice if he wants to leave).
Do the papers get a kick out of rattling Newcastle fans or something?

Totally agree on the point that we don't have to sell, however I think we only need 1 centre back (preferably zouma or alderweireld) as when taylor hits form he is good and he bleeds black & white, so this can pave way for willo to leave. We need a winger, preferably Lennon who would be an excellent buy especially as he's english, and this would also pave way for gutierrez to leave as he's just useless. And we just need Remy on a perm deal (considering he's innocent with his court case) as campbell and Adam armstrong coming along nicely through the ranks.

Toon we may not have to sell but we will to get ANY new players
Where have you been the moon

Alderweireld was sold in last transfer window

Well to me Cisse was a half season wonder. Last season, useless, this season, useless. Before anyone starts saying his late goals kept us up, just think, IF he had scored the countless missed sitters we would NOT have been in that position to start with. As for lack of service, Did Benteke get great service at Villa? Lakaku at WBA? Both played in struggling teams but put the ball away. If rumours are true and the Russian clubs are sniffing around him, get rid, and bring in someone who has a first touch and can hit the back of the net but most of all, knows the offside trap. People keep saying he will come good, When? Next season, season after?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

We have him until January so let see how he goes in the 433 formation. No excuses but the service to him has been awful especially last season. I agree he need to learn the offside rule but is that down to the midfield taking to many touches. let's back what we have as a replacement isn't coming any time soon.

Agree0 Disagree0

Lukaku and Benteke are different players to Cisse.
Cisse is always the one who wants the ball early and played in behind defence.
hold up play, which he was doing last season is not something he's great at, hence losing possession often.
i can't see him being prolific again, but with Ben Arfa and Remy either side, I think he'll get better service and expect 12-15 goals of him this season.

Agree0 Disagree0

Lukaku and benteke are different players to cisse. Yes correct. they score goals. sorry couldn't resist. I still have faith that with remy and ben arfa each side we might get something more from him. remy looks good coming from the left but he could play in the middle and gouf out on the left or even gouf down the middle and leave it as it is. hopefully if cisse isn't doing it pardew will have the brains to get him off the pitch until cisse realises he needs to put the work in. far to long he has known he is going to start. I think dropping him might give him a reality check.

Would love to see us sign Lennon and Traore in January. But kinnear needs to go.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Yes that would be great, JToon have you ever saw Doumbia play?

Agree0 Disagree0

I have seen short clips of him. His ball control does not impress me. remy is way better. Someone like Traore or lukaku would do us.
