Mike is going to spend a lot of money and there will be mor than 2 players coming in by September iv had a drink and shouldnt be on sites like this can't say who I am but where keeping quite for good business

Hahaha I believe ya mate

Thought paul daniels was a boro fan but there again even his realistic sgb

Hope so, gutted if only 2 players come in, want the 35m spent on transfer fees cant include wages in this, unless we increase our wage bill which we shouldnt. already lost nolan, cambell and kuqi off wage bill with smith, xisco, enrique and possibly barton to follow...these 4 all being on 50k plus aweek on top of this ameobi lovenkrands and best should be sold cos not good enough.

If all these went who the f**k would we play thats our main players for relegation push next season lads

I do not have a problem with Mike Ashley's desire to put the club on a stable financial footing. What I seriously resent though is that the club makes little or no attempt to communicate with the fans and on the rare occasions they do, their statements are either ambiguous or false.
Del boy's comments re spending Andy Carroll money in the summer is a prime example. Fans read £35 million spent on transfers, so buy up season tickets with serious expectation of seeing big money players signed. When we fail to spend anywhere near that amount he can hide behind the fact that all he said was none of the 35 million would be taken out of the club.

A meaningless statement from a meaningless man

Whomever we do or do not buy, looks like with who we have already bought we will be more mobile at least.

Predictions for more signings.......maximum £ 5 million

THE NUMBER ONE SHIRT

A lot of debate surrounds this position, and competition is healthy to an extent but I think this is a pivotal season and decision to be made by Pardew.

Although he has been as loyal as can be, and is a very solid keeper for the most part, I personally think Harper should be given a background role to enhance the three young promising keepers we have on our books for the future.

Give him a player/coach role with a view to becoming full time goalkeeping coach next season. Would be a valuable man to have in that role for the long term, good keeper, knows the club inside out, and as I said before has been more than loyal to us, deserves more than to just be shunted out. But faith must be put in his coaching role now although kept as a member of the playing staff. He should be seen as the man ready to step in and rely on if anything happens the other two, between injuries, poor performance, or if either get too big for their boots and decide they want to leave.

A lot would feel for Harper and say he should be the number 1 this season on loyalty alone but looking at it objectively if we choose loyalty over the future we could easily lose both Krul and Forster over the next season, which would not be a good thing, and as much as certain fans do nothing but moan about the club and squad, we are in a position very few if any clubs are in as regards goalkeepers, two genuine young talents who have the potential to be very good, with a third that seem to have potential too.

Soderberg is obviously still in the development stages of his career and a bit behind the other two in the pecking order but from what I know he is a promising lad and could learn from someone like Harper on a coaching level, as well as getting his confidence built by seeing two young keepers getting their chance, and if either Krul or Forster do decide to move on in a couple of years, he would be ready to take his chance to push for first team football.

As far as who should be number one, opinions differ among the fans, and both still have a few creases to be ironed out over the next year or two, but thats a given with young keepers. Personally I think Pardew, and to be honest I would too, have more faith in Krul at this moment in time. He has done well for us between the sticks during Harpers injuries and has recently gotten his chance and had that faith reinforced in his ability by the Dutch national side, and from what I seen against Brazil recently he was very impressive in a match where he was kept very busy.

Forster I think would be happy to be number 2 this season, faith being shown in the fact he is not being sent on loan again or sold, and must take the example of Krul in the past couple of seasons in working hard and improving further, knowing that he will more than likley be playing in most of the cup games, where he gets his chance to prove his worth and push Krul for the first spot over the next season or so.

What all this will create I think is very healthy competition between two young keepers and a consistent motivation to perform and improve, which can only be beneficial and as I said, gives a lot of confidence and motivation to the younger generation in the academy, that it is a club that if you work hard and show potential, you will get your chance, even in the goalkeeping position, which is probably the hardest to break into from academy level. But apart from that it sets an example that players that do stick with us long term will not be forgotten about, even if replaced with younger talents, and will be given influencial roles behind the scenes with the club after their playing days are over.

Anyway, thats my two cents worth, be interesting to know what other fans think though.....

KRTOON

Harper not as agile as he once was and even tho he is still a half decent keeper i think he will not be NUFc first choice this coming season. Krul for me makes a lot of great saves but makes a few mistakes too and isnt as solid as harper. Forster had a great season last year and i would like to see him given the chance to show he can cut it. Think forster will be number 1

Like to see Shay come back on loan until we can find a good stopper.

Don't forget we have Alnwick who has been called up to the England U20's squad so we're doing something right in the way we're producing keepers.

The 18-year-old revealed in late May that he was set to join the Magpies from Lens after impressing the Premier League club on trial last season.

He has now put the finishing touches to his move to St James' Park and Newcastle feel the holding midfielder has a promising future.

signing a five year deal. ED DO YOU KNOW IF HE WILL BE IN THE FRIST TEAM OR START OF IN RESERVE SQUAD?

He'll be working with Beardsley next year

Squad player at best next year but pardew likes what he has seen of him and thinks he is an exciting talent. Probably get 1 or 2 games i would think. Plus he isnt a holding midfielder, hes an attacking player and has a good goals record

"Marveaux has impressed and, because of his contract situation, he didn't play a lot last season, but that means he comes to us fresh. We think there is a lot to come from him.

Wow these are quotes from Pardew doesn't he realise he didn't play much last season because of a injury.
