Can somebody please tell me how QPR can sign 2 or 3 players in aday and a half yet Newcastle cant manage even one we're linked with. Is this not all the proof we need that there will be no and never was gonna be any signings.

The answer is they didn't they signed JB but their admin fouled up with Young. Nufc are not alone in the tranfer jungle.

QPR are panic buying , in the long run relegation is on the horizon for them Graeme Carr is a top scout that's the way to go .............

I agree Tottenham seem to be struggling to sign people, it's because Players are wanting alot of wages to transfer, and not many clubs have the ability to pay.

no big signings coming to the toon couldn't up ye offers for the lad from swansea offering measley 1mill same about long and nzogbia then 100k for charlton goalie ye might have the french lads believing ye a big club but enrique carroll barton nolan and routledge know the truth all leaving feeling sorry for the fans who are in the top 6 in the country. realisation time lads the good old days have gone and until ma goes they wont be coming back

And yet you still cudnt beat us haha saddest of mackum b**tards you like pal, I'd worry about your mounting debt and failure to produce on the pitch b4 u start talking about us

Yeh we are still good enough to beat the mackems and r the only club in the pr not to concede a goal and the fact is we are close to completing the signing of a top class left back in pieters and are also holding talks with cisssokho and hope to secure a deal for nolanroux as well.

Good signings 2 left backs and moulin rouge maybe one of them is going to replace collo who is on his way out and why do ye put everyone who comes on here posting the truth down as mackems have you got a fear of them as both will be in relegation fight anyway

The makem is on our site cos civil war has broken out on Safc rumours.
So many tears the met office have issued a flood warning for the Wear.

Top six fan's......name the other 5 who are better ....I hope your not putting us in with the glory hunters of Liverpool and Manchester

Coz u are a sad mackem all yaz ever talk snouts Newcastle always have done it's either jealousy or yaz r secret toon fans, anyway I wouldn't Try and be clever if I was you coz iv heard murmurings that Ellis short is getting sick ov bankrolling you jokers which could end in disaster for yaz, o and 1 0

sign roux and peiters and darnel situ and we will have a strong squad for next season

Hi Ed just wondering if there is any chance we could sign both Cissoko and Pieters as we seem to be still in for both? Is Pardew now considering Pieters as cover for centre half? also i here we have met the release clause in Rouxs contract, what is he like as i have never seen him play?

{Ed042's Note - Keep answering this haha, I cant see us signing both, would be over the moon if we did but I think it will be one or the other... as for Roux, reports from France say we have met his release clause and it is awaiting approval from Lens too as they are due 50% sell on clause.. would be very happy if we do sign him, bit of development needed on aspects of his game but has phenomenal work rate from what I have seen of him, very pacey, good on both feet, tall lad too so can challenge in the air, would be the type of striker we need}

Ed why haven't Newcastle looked fully into Tim Matavz he seems to have a lot of potential.

I personally would take anyone at the minute would love to see us sign any of Ruiz, Roux, Matavz.

{Ed042's Note - Haha I dont know mate tbh, I`m not Carrs boss.. yeah i`d be with you on all three, all good players, Roux the most likely and has a lot of potential}

sturridge left out of chelsea squad again today. surely worth at least punt to try to get him on loan or am I clutching at straws

On his way to sol mate 14mill

Haha why would he go to the village of the dammed??

Still suspended after sending off last season while at bolton

He wont be going anywhere now drogs injured.

ye must be gutted at sjp all ye best players gone collo could be next and all ye brought in are untried players from french league but i give ye one thing ye all putting a brave face on and believe in ye team more that can be said about other teams but if that striker doesn't arrive it could be doom and gloom

Who said they are our best players who have gone, its all about opinions we've got a player to replace nolan in taylor over the top who scores against the smbs lol

So you think taylor will be your top scorer this season? god i really hope your right cos that would mean certain relegation mad max

Don't think yous SMB's are in the best position to judge at the moment are yous.

Top goal scorer will be ben arfa or demba ba

Mate we done you smb and if they do that for the toon they will do for us joey turned you down he turned you down sounds great cant wait until we get u smb at the toon for another thumping steve b is a geordie agent

Have a look at kenwins person you smb

Which team has failed to score against Newcastle, Brighton and Swansea? worry about your own team.

Does anyone know (Ed or others) if either Cissokho or Pieters can also operate at right back or centre back? (Didn't Pieters play at CB last week?).

Just a thought because we seem to be pursuing both equally with no sign that it just one from two. (Of course that is just my opinion, not fact).

Dom.

{Ed042's Note - Pieters can play CB, dont think either can play RB}

Cheers Ed.

I was just wondering because we've lost Sol Campbell, Kadar is off the radar (see what I did there?) and Williamson is injured - not to mention various rumours about Colo leaving. We've added Darnel Situ but it still leaves us short in the middle even when williamson recovers.

So...unlikely as it may seem...are we actually about to blow a big chunk of cash on both Cissokho and Pieters and possibly Santon too?

Dom.

{Ed042's Note - Haha i`m optimistic lad but not that optimistic, if we got in one of the three i`d be happy enough, any more than that and I would do a jig!.. would be shocked if Colo went this window tbh}

Got to remember that they was 10m Euros which is roughly £9m, I reckon a deal can be done for £7.5-8m which would be about 8.5 - 9m Euros.
Geordiesteve

Wot you on about ?

{Ed042's Note - Haha Cissokho I think mate}

I want pards to start the ameobis upfront together on Sunday, you never know two brothers trying to upstage each other might bring the best out of them, I know how competitive me and my little bro used to get just playin on FIFA, does anyone no if two brothers have scored in the same match fir the same team in the top flight before?

27 Aug 2011 10:40:46
For weeks now ppl have been saying wait till the end if the window well there's under 4 days left now, can anyone honestly see us bringing in anymore than one player in that time if any at all, it's about time we realised Ashley has nice again Filled everyone with false hopes

The Fat B*****D is taking the P**S. The sooner he goes the better,lining his pockets is all he thinks of,window closing? Lets hope Fatso doesnt sell Colo and Tiote before it does

I still think we'll get a lb nothing else though

A left back is no where near enough we've scored one goal from open play in 3 games n that was against Scunthorpe with all respect to them how are we gonna fair against prem opposition? Hope Ryan Taylor gets more free kicks we need at least 3 new players and that ain't gonna happen

Just wanted to get down a few things about the window this far, for the fans who seem to think we are weaker than last season.
Players out. Well the ones to start with are the ones who contributed nothing last year. Routledge, Campbell, Kuqi, Forster, Xisco, all no big loss (hardly realised they were at the club.
Players that contributed something:
Nolan- Was a great foil for Carroll when we were playing long ball football, but was shown up once Carroll was no longer in the team. His game was simply to be in the box when the ball was played in, did nothing in midfield as his passing is poor, and is too slow.
Enrique- Probably the player we will miss most, although he is not the best defensively. Good going forward, but relied on Jonas to cover his arse far too much, which took away from Jonas game of getting forward. Maybe a more defensive minded player will let Jonas of the leash more.
Barton- Love him, or loath him, good player, too much trouble, thinks he is better than he is, and has left due to money.

Players in;
Cabaye- Classy, passing midfielder who gets stuck in, French international, like him already.
Ba- Jury still out, but will get better with more game time, useful squad player.
Marveaux- Tricky winger, who looks decent, again will get better the more game time he gets.
Obertan- Quick, skillful, far better then Routledge, looking forward to him when fully up and running.
Combine this with the arrival of a couple of players (LB/ST), and we are already stronger as a team. Not to mention the return to fitness of Ben Arfa, and Gosling, as well as the gradual introduction of the young players Vuckic, Sami Ameobi, Abeid, Ferguson, who all look class.
So come on lads, lets not be to down in the dumps, we are gradually putting a fast, pacey, skillful side that will change the way we play to something a bit more exciting to watch. It will take time to fully come together but i am excited by this. (It could be worse, we could have signed a load of aging rubbish, and relegation players, SMB).
Col

I agree but not sure we are going to get the type of striker, still think we need two that we need. The days are gone with a big target man like Ameobi and Ba, we need to clever quick strikers who will run the channels, close defenders down, link up with play and have the ability to either do something unexpectedly or atleast try when we as fans or the rest of the team need it. I am very happy with the signings of Cabaye, Marvereaux and Obertan. Ba we took because he was free so yes useful squad player. Like everyone else looking forward to seeing Ben Arfa fit (have my doubts about this as well, it maybe another season before we see him consistantly play). The likes of Ferguson, Vukic and Sammy Ameobi look good for the future and hopefully will get game time through the season. I can't see it happening but would love to see Santon at right back and either Peiters or Cissisko at left back. Taylor and Collo looking good. Williamson seems injury prone so maybe the yound centre half on trial. Simpson needs to go together with Smith, Lovenkrands and Best. Not sure Ashley would sanction the five signings in which I think would give us a really good squad and we don't seem to be able to get rid off Smith, Lovenkrands or Best

Ferguson should come straight in for jonas he's so much better, if pardew has any bottle he'd give Harris and sammy a run of 10 games to show him what they can do. It isn't a massive gamble because we already know what the rest of the players ahead of them in the pecking order can do NOWT

Finally we are getting some well thought out postings,whilst I might not agree with every opinion I must congratulate the man on the way he has gone about it.

Bryan Ruiz would be an awesome addition if we can pull it off fingers crossed.... I've watched a lot of the Dutch league.

Personally i reckon Newcastle are trying to do a double swoop for pieters and tolivoen that's what the hold up is about

Why would that cause a hold up? Offer what clubs want in fees and pay wages players want...no hold up
