Today we were dreadful, Collo has been awful recently, Shola Ameobi was awful today and I would of preferred Cisse, We need a new striker in January.

This is the team I would play on Saturday:
Krul
Santon/Dummett-M'biwa-Willo-Haidara
Ben Arfa-Anita-Cabaye/Sissoko- Gouffran
Cisse-Remy

Would include Marveaux but he seems to be out of favour big time.

Totally agree.

Maybe put Mbiwa at right back and Taylor and Willo at centre back then play haidara left back. Cisse needs a start, the more he's not played the more his confidence will go down.

Elliot
Santon MYM Taylor Haidara
HBA Anita Tiote Bigi Ameobi
Cisse

Gouffran, Sissoko, Cabaye and Remy need a rest IMO also Bigi was brilliant for us last season yet Pardew has frozen him out so far this season.

Would like to see a youngster like Adam Armstrong or Rolando Aarrons on the bench and giving 10-15 minutes if we're winning.

Is that Aarons guy good, I know Adam is very good but haven't saw much of Aarons is he any good?

Yeah quick and tricky winger with an eye for goal and would probably be more of a threat than Ameobi.

How old is he?

we are in desperate need of a striker, please don't put shola in the squad, he doest look like he will ever score again. we need to spend at least 10m on someone who puts himself about in the box and can hit the target

Oh well come week saturday itll be 3 losses on the spin. very poor ftom AP. how can shola get a stsrt ahead of cisse

Ravel Morrison has a £10million release clause. Come on, he'd be a great slgning. We need remy on a perm as well.

I'd love this to be our January transfer window:

Out:
Jonas Gutierrez (£1.5million)
Gabby Obertan (£1million)
Sylvain Marveaux (£2.5million)
(Hopefully not) Cabaye (£20million)
(Maybe) Cisse (£8million)

Total in: £5million in/£25million

In:
Ravel Morrison (£10million)
Tom Ince (£4million)
Loic Remy (£6-8million)
Luuk De Jong (Loan)

Total spent: £20-22million

But if Ashley sells Cabaye and maybe cisse then we make a profit on transfers if we do this, so that could appeal to Ashley. But Marveaux Obertan and Jonas are all deadwood, not being played, why not pick up the money from them while we can. I believe that with those four signings of Remy, Morrison, Ince and a loanee of De Jong, then we really will have a strong enough squad to push on for a top 6 place.

Krul
Debuchy-Williamson-M'Biwa-Santon
Sissoko-Tiote
Ravel
Ben Arfa-Remy-Gouffran

Actually i'd prefer Jordan Rhodes over de jong. Very talented young striker.

Geez you support Newcastle not one of the top 6 clubs. Ashley does not spend money or haven't you noticed
We should have signed Bony when we could and flogged Cisse

Art, of course I know that ashley doesn't spend money but what I want to hear people's opinions and who they'd like us to sign, not people who are constantly being negative.

JToon you mean a bit like you on your latest post after the match?

Oh I really can't be bothered wit you art. Please don't turn into another Zeus. What toon fan wouldn't be disappointed with today's performance?

No problem but saying we are not a top 6 club is right & some of the optimism
on here is creditable but don't knock anyone who gives you a reality check now and again it's not negative it is Ashley that has made us like this
We NEED a Striker a CB & Winger
& you can throw a 1000 names but they are all speculation
It would be great to have some real Rumours but that won't happen because these days the fans have no idea. This is Ashley's game plan NOTHING have a Happy New Year

Ins:
Finnbogasson (ST) - would be brilliant alongside Remy.
Lestienne (LM) - another top youngster from Belgium may be out of our price range but worth a go I think he has something like 9 goals and 11 assists in 24 games for Brugge.

Outs:
Obertan
Marveaux

That's what I like to see SC7!
