Alessio Cerci looks good for Torino at the moment. Surely he wouldn't cost that much.

He plays similar to Robben, fast and skilful out on the right and cuts inside onto his left foot. Very good finisher.

Other that Sissoko our options on the right are limited. Obertan is still terrible and doesn't look like Ben Arfa will get a look in.

well clearly my early optimism was quite a way off. I know its still early and players take time to settle yadayadayada. but with all this so call added flair we still can't score. i'm all for punishing players when they are in the wrong and think they are far to over protected but right now I can't help but think what difference having HBA on the pitch would make. I know he looked like he had added a few pounds when he came back but clearly he has bulked up a bit and looked quite trim the other night. infact in that respect him, abeid and Aarons have all seemingly made an effort. Janmaat looks very capable and in the past HBA lack of tracking back would be an issue but with Janmaat behind him plus 2 DM I think we could finally let him do what he does best yet we are not playing him. with HBA on the right dejong middle and cabella left. surely that would create goals. and both him and cabella could swap sides as often as they liked. I just hope he keeps his head down and eventually gets his chance. I can't help but think if we put him out there on the pitch he would be raring to go to prove a point if nothing else. very much seemed that way the other night

Love yo see Ben Arfa back. i'd be more worried if we were not creating chances, i'm hoping the goals will come

Bringing HBA back would bring a massive lift to the fans, I think we would have beaten villa if we had him. Come on pardew, there's no point trying to force him out when he's a talented player and wants to be here

I am going to try and be positive. It takes time for new players to settle in to life in the prem for some players this can happen quickly for others not so. . remember Collo when he first came? I hope some of our new players will start to settle in quick and show what they can do. That's as positive as I can get as I don't rate Pardew at all. I ask myself what Martinez could do with our squad, someone who knows about attacking football and where players should play i. e. Lukaku won't play right wing like Cisse had to. . . its not rocket science

3 games into the season and still not a goal from a Newcastle player, we apparently dominated possession against a league 1 team but still no goals to show for it.
If this doesn't spur them into buying a proven goalscorer then I worry where the Remy and Cabaye goals will be found and I see a real struggle this season
