Ed What's the crack with loans?
Could we get a loan striker in?
Even if it's an emergency deal, would our situation be classed as an emergency to the PL?

So devastated about today!

{Ed042's Note - Gutted myself mate, no unfortunately loans have to be in by deadline for Prem clubs, only free transfers allowed after deadline day.. haha dont think our situation would be seen as emergency mate no, we have 5 strikers}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Cheers Ed, and cheers for keeping this site going throughout what I would describe as a busy yet disappointing transfer window. You've done a great job.

{Ed042's Note - Thanks mate}

Window closed... Strikers in: 1
Midfielders in: 4
Defenders(Inc. GK) in:2

Strikers missed out on: Gervihno, Gameiro, Wolfswinkel, Papiss Demba Cisse, Nolan Roux, Modibo Maiga, Bryan Luiz

Midfielders missed out on: Yan M'Villa, Swiss guy (forgotten name), Joey Barton replacement

Defenders missed out on (not that it matters): Aly Cissokho, Erik Pieters

Not pleased with lack of strikers baught, have missed out on 7! Don't blame board or workers of NUFC, SKY have said that DL, AP and club secretary Lee Charley have all been super busy, just purely unlucky, maybe we set our sights too high... Relagation anyone?? :'(

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Just because we didn't get a striker your contemplating relegation? you bi-polar much?

Agree0 Disagree0

Who would come here, Ashley treats us and the players like sh**e and wont pay the wages.

Agree1 Disagree0

Aye they were super busy alreet counting arll the money they've saved on not replacing Carroll, clowns the lot of them.

Just been on everyone site and with the probs they have I was expecting ww3 but no, they have comments like what will be will be we back our club that's what's important how much can we learn from them?? Newcastle united fc is what's important so as fans it's our jobs to support the club through thick and thin we've signed some good players yes I would have loves to see a striker but I'd rather a good one than a big name flop at brought in at last minute, I care about the club and will as ever continue to support them 100% no matter what. Newcastle till I die!!

Loan signing it is then. Hopefully Sturridge on loan, with an option to buy. Wishful thinking.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

We cannot sign any loan players, window is shut, only football league clubs can

31 Aug 2011 23:23:51
Pardope MUST RESIGN he has either constantly lied to us fans or he has been lied to by his bosses Ashley and Lambias. Either way he MUST RESIGN if the answer is he has just lied to the fans he has no respect from the fans and possibly the players now who must equally have been expecting a decent striker to come. If he has been made promises by Ashley and Lambias that they would buy a striker he surely cannot continue as a manager for them. With 8 months to find a decent striker someone at the club has to be accountable. If its Ashley then how can Pardope continue.

We cannot rely on keeping clean sheets and a Ryan Taylor freekick to get points. Santon I believe will be a great signing, but he is young and will need time and probably have to play left back which isn't ideal when he's right footed. Simpson is a liability, if Taylor or Colo gets injured in the next couple of weeks who have we got PERCH. Our midfield is as good as any outside the top 6 but goals win games. I have had my rant and now off to bed and not looking forward to the next few months.

Believable3 Unbelievable1

He resigns then what? Were back being the joke club of the prem again were stable now so that's a ridiculous comment to make

Agree0 Disagree1

Mate, this is one of the most sensible posts (the top one) I've read today. If the spineless puppet had any integrity he would resign but he won't. Unfortunately this is a good thing as atm the club is stable and a change in management, regardless how crap he is, isn't what we need right now.
JUst waiting for the El hadj dieuf (or however its spelt) to sign up as a last minute replacement.
Whole thing is pathetic!

Agree0 Disagree0

No its not he is a liar and should resign?

Agree1 Disagree0

He wont resign but the problem he has now is a complete lack of credibilty with the fans. After saying things like "we need a left back and a striker and we have no excuses if we dont get them", he just looks foolish. MA seems more then happy to let his manager look a complete person in public. Feel sorry for him.

31 Aug 2011 23:12:27
well done ed042 for today, was looking at other teams sites and newcastle's was by far the busiest so thanks for keeping us up to date. i am gutted with the outcome, still no decent striker, however i reckon some decent loans til jan, i.e, the likes of some players we have been linked with (sturridge if he didnt go anywhere i am not sure) someone like that til jan will do nicely. fair one he wont be ours but all we can do now is look forward to jan and the rest of the season.
cheers
toon col

{Ed042's Note - Cheers mate, only wish I could have delivered better news.. agree completely mate, the only way I could see the board curbing a massive fan backlash would be to get in the likes of Sturridge and Macheda on even 6 month loans... its not the standard of players and team i`m that worried about tbh, just think a good striker would have really got the fans behind the board and the team, everyone pulling in the same direction.. still think we are in good shape, especially if HBA comes back and stays fit.. obviously like everyone a bit gutted we didnt get that one top player we needed but what else can you do but get behind the lads we have here now}

Tbh i think he would have chosen newcastle if we hadnt made a bid as he was about to sign for fulham

This is a joke no striker, what happenned to all the Carroll money to be invested, 8 months later no striker im so bitter over this lies more and more fu.cking lies, a striker sould have been a priority from the end of MAY. not 3 hrs b4 the end of the window. JOKE!!!!

Can we please all not show up at the next game in protest against mike ashley

Believable4 Unbelievable1

Yeah thats a good way to show our support to the players, if we acted like that every time we didnt get what we wanted then no decent player would ever come. so what, we will be after a couple of loan deals to see us through til jan, but i bet with the rest of the squad we have we wont concede many, and once people like Ba and Obertan find there feet we will still be fine. im not making excuses for fat ashley at all, he has had more than enough time to get this sorted, but if you dont turn up to games its the players who will suffer and think why the hell did they bother signing, still be loyal fans and follow the mighty toon, show that we will support them no matter what.

31 Aug 2011 22:17:54
Ok that's 7 months and no striker, so in that lenght of time Ashley has not let Pardew sign a striker

Believable1 Unbelievable0

To be fair 4 of those months we couldn't talk to anyone. though we did scout people. Trouble is we went for one striker at a time we should have gone for several, once we signed one tell the others we're no longer interested.

Agree1 Disagree0

The problem we've had all along was 35mil plus sitting in the bank for all selling clubs to see. It is foolhardy in the extreme to sale before replacements are in place . I find it hard to understand how an astute business man as M.A can get things so wrong and would have to assume that his sole intention is to simply make back his loan get us stable enough to flog off. simples

Whys everyone going on like we should sign world class players I don't care if I get slated for this but we ain't a big club in the eyes of Europe, we won't attract big name players until we get back into Europe so it's gonna be a slow process remember wen we got relegated a plan was put in to stabilise and build for the future which in the last 2 seasons we made good progress in doing and we've strengthened again this year with players that were available to us, a good season again this year and we'l be In a better position to sign players and not waste money on big name flops. Keep the faith weve made a good start so far this season, Rome wasn't built in a day.

Believable3 Unbelievable3

I think people just want a striker in. Bryan Ruiz to Nicky Maynard, not specifically a world class player. We want a striker and have been told we would get one.

Agree1 Disagree0

Whos asking for big names,a forward would be nice that can score with a better ratio than 1 in 6,and a forward hasnt just been sprung on them, theyve known for 7 months!!

Agree1 Disagree0

FFA sake shut up sick of hearing the same s**t we need strikers regardless
He's stripping the club bare reduced wages to sell on Not to take the club forward

Agree1 Disagree0

We can't attract big name players but Fulham can, can they?
Stupid statement.

Agree1 Disagree0

Have not progressed on player situation just replaced what we lost in nolan , barton and enrique but no replacment for loss of carrol

Agree1 Disagree0

Ffs hes had 8 months to buy a striker

Agree1 Disagree0

Fulham are in Europe so yes they can so that's a pretty stupid reply really go back to playin FIFA n champ man ppl need to learn facts before trying to look clever

Agree0 Disagree1

Fulham are in Europa and London big factor in getting players. Regardless as to the fact that they're a sh1te team. Ruiz is better than them. terrible decision.

Agree0 Disagree0

FFS! nearly every club in europe want a 20 goal a season striker, or want to keep hold of there current 20 goal a season striker. I agree we need a goal scorer but im sure its not as easy as buying players on Football Manager...

Agree0 Disagree1

At least I didn't get completely slated it is true though When we were in Europe we couldnt understand why players would go to clubs that weren't in Europe well were one of those clubs now we've gone from strength to strength last 2 seasons so hopefully this one we'l continue to do well and justify a good striker signing in either jan or next summer

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2011 22:00:00
Ruiz is going to Fulham, he wants to play in London. we will not be signing anyone according to me source, all we will get is ''we tried'' and ''not quality for money''

look if we dont get a forward in it aint the end of the world we got some good players in ridgewell if he signs be a good addition to the team he can play centre half fullback and if iam not mistaken as a holding midfielder did any one really think we would get a striker in ! still an hour left you never know geordie tom

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Every one having the same problem as us would you really want a player who no one wants cos if no one want thems then they aint any good...

Agree0 Disagree1

Why what did you expect tonight? World class players comin in left right n centre It was diff yesterday with the santon signing ppl need to realise were not offering European football so that makes attracting players hard.

Agree0 Disagree1

I bet we wont get Ruiez the the fat man will say o we tried when it was impossable when he had all fu.cking summer. Who the hell is goin to get us goals now its only a matter of time b4 Sholea gets injured, Ba isnt an out and out striker, and best is limited. Fu.ck are we mad turning up in the numbers we do putting up with this sh!t..

Agree1 Disagree0

Don't expect world class players but a striker is required not more gk
This was required at the beginning
Of the transfer Market so explain this one
Ashley will strip us bare reduce wages and sell on he is not doing this to take the club forward but to recoup his losses
w**ker

Agree0 Disagree0

Believable3 Unbelievable1

Come on folks, i feel your pain. MA has a plan, he's put more into the academy than any of the other owners and the new rules mean you have to treat the club as a business and not an arabs plaything.
Lets stop banging on about it; three games in, weve spanked the darkside with seven points i think its a bloody good start. vive la toon

Believable3 Unbelievable0

I am gobsmacked that we have no striker in and very unlikely now just too late. why we wasted so long mucking about with that Miaga thing beggars belief and to let nolan roux slip away is sheer negligence imo. I know we have signed some promising guys but the priority was always a striker the toon number 9 as always been what we're about. Bitterly disappointed at the mo.

if these ruiz and ridgewell deals come off, we all have to take our hats off to ashley and pardew and give them some real support, me included.

Believable2 Unbelievable2

Yeh its so last minute why didnt we bid infront of fulham if we really wanted him

{Ed042's Note - We were going for other targets??}

Agree2 Disagree0

I get where u r coming from ed but the fact is hes litterally having a medical at another club and then we decide the match the offer surely we could have done something before because it was obvious that the strikers we were after their clubs wouldnt let them go without having a replacement and its the same situation with ridgewell we have had the whole summer to make a bid and we havent really been linked with any other cbs so you would have thought that one might have been completed earlier.

{Ed042's Note - Know where you`re coming from mate but look at this way, we have spent over a month waiting on Erdinc and fully expected him to sign, messed us about, waited two weeks on Maiga maybe more, Sochax have messed us about, Pardew has been to watch Ruiz as well as Carr numerous times but reason we didnt go before was their asking price was near £15m, it has dropped obviously and we`re in a spot, late bid, what else can you do}

Agree2 Disagree0

31 Aug 2011 20:23:41
Am I the only one desparately disspointed with this transfer window - no replacement for Carroll, Nolan or Barton. It's too late to get Ruiz and Ridgewell - smacks of panic !

hopefully we can hijack this del for ruiz. his goal record is very impressive. however i have always been wary about signing strikers from holland as they seem to be a bit hit and miss. hopefully he will be more of a van persie/nistlerooy rather than a kezman/alves

bids accepted for ridgewell and ruiz. better personnal terms offered to ruiz who according to the bloke on ssn standing outside academy of light has been texting friends basically saying fulham are s**t.

like to see ridgewell at lb and santon rb, ridgwell can also cover cb.

if we get these two imo this will have been a very satisfactory transfer window, got rid of some players that didnt want to be there/thought they where bigger than the club and brought in some quality players

Believable0 Unbelievable0

31 Aug 2011 20:07:36
ED I new Ridgwell was a no brainer, I think this will b a very logical signing if it goes through. I also mentioned Ruiz on an earlier post. (not blowing my own trumpet) But defo thot that these targets made sense! Lol

Bet santon is going to be pissed right off if no striker signed as came under the impression that nufc had ambition which is currently sadly lacking, aye ed i agree effort has been made today however should of been sorted long before now instead of wasting months on chasing erdinc and gameiro.

think maynard would be worth a punt personally, and macherada has huge potential, but again cant see it happening, also socheux shout go f*** themselves awkward to say the least.

This is absolute bullsh!t he had 3 months to sign a striker and nothing, we are going to struggle for goals big time. Jesus we could have got Shane Lnng for 6 Mil wages would have been ok aswell Just aswell we signed a good defender in Stanton cause we l need to concede a realy low amount of goals to stay up. Kinda alike Birimingham last year with Jareome up top. Fluk this Ashley we deserve better. Maye we could resign Sefti Kuquai like last deadline day.. Well pissed off i am.............

So Ed why are we making some bids on good strikers today when it is the last day? Is it just so that MA can say that we tried? Will we ba able to end up top 10 without a new striker?

If we sign Bryan Ruiz I will personally track down Mike Ashley and apologise for every negative thing I have ever said about him, shows true ambition if we get him, strike rate is totally awesome, quick and class finisher but best of all born to score goals, come on Mike prove me wrong and get this fella in :-D

Believable3 Unbelievable0

It is just hard to understand how we have not been able to sign a striker. We would have a really nice team if we got in a goal scorer. Everyone everywhere knows that we need one and still we did not get one. Strange. Noone can be satisfied with just Elliot and Santon to enter. What are the odds that we see 2-3 players enter the last hours? 0.01%.

Don't know if anyones posted this yet but SSN is reporting Ruiz is Pardew's number 1 target!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Europa here come. However Fulham remain favourites, surely though we can top them to him. They may have Europa thhis season (in a ridiculous "fair play" thing) but theyr'e not going anywhere.

There are better, and proven, strikers out there than both Macheda and Maiga. Whay arent we going for them! Maynard fits the bill and his value will surely rise within 2 years. Bendtner even.

two transfers think we should have a go for is liam ridgewell send ranger and perch the other way and a few mill this would offer great cover as we need and center back and also a would say a left back as cover and this lad can play both and maynard ave heard the only reason the foxes keep getting bids turned down is there not willing to sell to a club in the same league and maybe loan them sammy in return but all this is highly doubtful
marknufc

Believable1 Unbelievable3

Why don't we give them ranger and 4mill for maynard? everyone wins

Agree0 Disagree0

Make me laff that ppl can disagree with in my eyes this did happen it would be nothing but good news for newcastle would get dead wood off the books and would also give sammy the chance to show what he could do and it would also be bringing in two really gd players so a would have to agree with marknufc it would be nothing but a win for newcastle if this did happen

Why dont we go match Fulhams bid for Bryan Ruiz, 39 goals last year, quality player and would surely prefer a move to us.....

Believable7 Unbelievable0

Yh but we'd actually have to pay money for a player of that stature

Agree4 Disagree0

He scored nine goals last year (as a winger)!
The season before though he scored 24. Already this season he's scoring in pretty much every match.

Agree1 Disagree0

13 mill is all we'd need. Better buy than cisse in my opinion, as he wouldn't be off to the ACN.

Agree1 Disagree0

If we bid 10mill for cisse surely we could bid the same as fulham (10.6mill) or more to try and get ruiz would be a quality signing a player we could do with

i think we'll sign a couple by the end of the day, they may not be our 1st choices but htey'll be bodies in the team.

going by previous windows, don't expect nufc to announce them until the window is shut. i get the feeling they like to do it all in go so if they are to make more than one signing, they'll just announce it at the end of the day.

Bryan Ruiz
Yakubu

I know most people are going to turn round and say "too old" or "wages too high" or "they're crap" but honestly, I think I would start any of the above rather than Shola, Best and Lovenkrands for the rest of the season.

Dnt include Best in there pls....He's done well for newcastle on the rare occasion hes started...He's one i'd like to see get regular football to see how far he cud go....not saying hes worldclass....but if he can manage 15 goals this season....Happy days ^^

We have currently spent 12 million this window, and revieced 12million from players sold... So we havnt even dipped Into the £35million yet!

Other hand I think nedum onouha would be a great signing aswell as even buying bassong instead as cover we without a doubt need a CB and ST in today!

Believable6 Unbelievable0

I would like to see seb back tbh!

Agree1 Disagree0

Would like both... bassong can play left back aswell cant he? onouha would be good cover at the back

Agree1 Disagree0

Wouldn't mind seeing the young reserve defenders as back up. We don't need anyone in, any other position, other than Striker.

Why have'nt we made a move for Bendtner?
Surely he would prefer Nufc over Stoke, No?

No doubt he's asking for stoopidly high wages ;)

Cisse has been told he cant come to us by freiburg. (best striker linked)
Maiga has been told he cant leave by sochaux (risky buy anyway)
Nolan roux is onholiday and cannot move to us (decent player)
Sturridge in chelsea plans (longshot)
Who are we left with now ed ?

{Ed042's Note - Any 1 of 20 strikers we`ve been linked with today mate.. Macheda, Cisse, Maiga all seem dead but could be resurrected.. Ballotelli and Sturridge linked but highly doubtful without an option to buy, and still unlikely even at that.. Zarate and Ogunjimi also linked}

News: Bundesliga governing body DFL produce a transferable list - anyone not on this cannot move - No Papiss Cisse or Franck Ribery....... ed just to confirm does this mean newcastle cannot sign cisse?

{Ed042's Note - He can be signed, teams wouldnt be going for him otherwise.. they just wont budge on £15m value}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

So what is the point of a transferable list? not questioning you just dont get it

{Ed042's Note - Dont know much about it tbh mate, just going off logic, there has been four different clubs that have definitely made offers over the past 24 hours}

dont worry lads, i have faith, was well happy with the santon deal yesterday, and today i do believe that we will bring in at least one more, going to be very exciting, already have me cans in to celebrate, i also think we may get a couple on loan just to strengthen that little bit more, not that i mind at all. i am sure the newcastle do this on purpose tho, leaving it til last minute, just to keep us on our toes lol. have a good day all and howay then lads!!

So far are transfer summer has went well with are signings.
I believe we still need 2/3 new signings in today.
4 games in and the strikers look useless.

one forward and winger/striker
centre back

centre back - Scott Dann - £5m - surely the lad would prefer us over Blackburn. If not maybe a cheeky swoop for Younes Kaboul of Tottenham for about £4m as they seem to be after Cahill.

Forwards
Missed out on Gameiro, Gervinho, Erdinc, Long - We need to stop dwelling and thinking these players will come, Same has happened with Miaga saga been going to long we've now missed out on Nolan Roux as hes away on holiday.

I would like us to sign David/Junior Hoilett from Blackburn Rovers and also a proven striker with premier league experience.

Strikers that may be available:
Roman Pavlychenko (spelling) - 7.5m/ 8m max
Peter Crouch- over rated at 10m - 6m max
Nicolas Bendtner - 8m max
Daniel Sturridge - Loan
Fedrico Maceda (spelling) - Loan - last resort
Nicky Maynard - 4m - potential
Andy Johnson - 4m
Salamon Kalou - 6m
Hugo Rodellaga - 8m
Mauronne Chamak (spelling) - 6m - lad needs a chance, did well when given the chance at Arsenal

Ed, what do you think ?

{Ed042's Note - Could rule half of them out due to age or wage mate, out of who you`ve said I would like Maynard, Kalou, Hoillett or Sturridge, Bendtner too but he looks Stoke bound}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Hoilett please :D

{Ed042's Note - Haha its only half 10 and im already considering a switch from pain killers to a large bottle of whiskey mate!.. Almost a certainty there will be a surprise with Maiga and Roux deals looking dead in the water, will keep you up to date, just wading through the BS at the mo to see what has substance to it}

Ed is our business finished for the summer or are we in for a surprise today (i hate deadline day)

{Ed042's Note - Always a surprise on deadline day, not a big fan it either mate tbh, so hard to know whats true and whats BS and now that Maiga deal is dead we will be linked with every striker under the sun}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

I'm listening to talksport at work and andy gray has just said he's hears were in for a foreign striker who's name he couldn't remember for around 10 million so that's just about every striker that scored more than five goals last season

{Ed042's Note - How that lad still has a job in football i`ll never know, my nan is more ITK}

Agree0 Disagree0

Haha I know iv had to turn it off, ask your nan if she's heard any whispers of a striker coming in plz mate

{Ed042's Note - Haha shes no use mate, every time I suggest a name she starts her sentence with, Back in my day... good player and all but really dont think we will sign Pelè}

i am an optimist fan, but even i couldnt see us buying santon, i thought it was deluded fans because i couldnt see us in my wildest dreams getting a player like him, but i hold my hands up and say well done to the club for this deal, i have a bad feeling on the elliot deal, 25 year old keeper signed just to be on the reserves? some how i dont think so but it might be just a bad gut of food, i could see krul leaving and harper in 1 and elliot in 2 tho, but i hope it is just food lol, we need cisse i know we wont get him but still his record is great but doubt it will happen but heres hoping eh

Seriously why did we sign Elliot? We've got some of the best back-up keepers in the PL.

31 Aug 2011 09:43:17
I've heard Pavlyuchenko has handed in a transfer request to Daniel Levy?

Surely we could put in a £5-6m bid and put pressure on the Spurs board to release him? He would be a great signing for us.

Also, happy with Santon although think we could still do with a lb/cb back up and with the news Ridgwell wants out at Birmingham we should offer them Ranger + £500,000 for him.

Most likely scenario by 11pm tonight is that we've sold Ranger for a measley amount and signed Maiga for £7m.

Geo

Believable3 Unbelievable1

Pav on his way to sunderland as Crouch is probs gonna join QPR

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont think ranger and 500k would buy ridgewell we want £1m for ranger and the behaviour lately that might be a free...lol.and am sure we where quoted 12 to 14 million for pavochenko....

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah we were but the fact he has handed in a transfer request and might not make the 25 man squad may force Levy's hand?

You never know.

Hi Ed heard anything about either Defoe or Brian Ruiz.
Harry Redknapp said on ssn he has two many strikers and needs to off load players and in the case of Ruiz surely if we matched Fulham's bid he would prefer to come to us, he played with Tiote at Fc Twente and the prospect of playing in front a big crowd every other week.

Also last minute Scott Dann from Brum surely we can do some business with Chrissy Hughton and maybe offload a player or two ib the deal. We do need cover at centre half and Brum need the dosh. Finally, though not a big fan of Joe Cole if Liverpool will fund some of his wages what about a loan deal to replace Barton?

{Ed042's Note - Pav and Crouch look like going so Defoe might not, doesnt match transfer policy anyway, a lot of clubs showing interest in Dann so bidding war more than likely, too messy, Joe Cole looks Lille bound, and Ruiz hasnt been linked to us yet, reading up on everything now so will know more in a bit}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Ruiz is linked now ed. And YOU said it wasn't likely. lol

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2011 08:31:53
It's my favourite day of the football year, TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY! I'm sure in the next 14 hours a lot of cash will trade hands and some shocking buys will be made (as is usually the case when clubs get desperate) hopefully newcastle won't be one of the teams panic buying and I remain confident we'll sign at least 1 striker before 11pm tonight.

The Maiga deal looks most likely, along with a loan for Macheda from Man U. There's still reports of interest in Nolan Roux and a £10 million rejected bid for Papisse Demba Cisse.

Be interested to hear who everyone would like to see wearing the B&W stripes by tonight? I'd still like to see Bendtner come in, although that seems highly unlikely.

Let the madness commence!

3 players to be signed today. 1 of then more than likely to be situ, held in high regards already at club. A striker will be signed, a few names been thrown about but I think we will be surprised by who actually cones through the door! Expect 2 players to leave aswell. My source is a family friend who works at St James park. Keep the faith

Hope i am wrong but the signing of a
"cover keeper" on a FIVE YEAR
contract worries me! KRUL and
£PROFIT...... Arsenal anyone ?

Believable0 Unbelievable1

Krul not going anywhere. Harper will be the one who moves out, doesn't want to play second fiddle again when he only has a few years left!!

Agree0 Disagree0

Sucks for Harper years waiting for Given to either leave or retire. Given leaves, two years of N1 gets injured then replaced by a younger better keeper.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2011 00:30:41
I have it on VERY good authority that Angryman The Angry Fan and CynicalasEva (nufcblog posters) are SMB WUMs. These guys are slating Santon before he's even kicked a ball.

On another note, would be fantastic if we got Cisse. Im not sure I can see this happening but one can only hope. Ed - is there any real truth to NUFC being interested in Maynard? I think I'd rather have him than Maiga as I've never seen the latter play...santoon

{Ed042's Note - I like Maynard myself mate but think the fee would put us off going for him, Leicester have had numerous bids rejected and are over the £6m mark now, cant see us paying that for him tbh considering we signed Santon for £5m, Ben Arfa for £6m, Cabaye for £5m}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

All three of those are going to seem like brilliant bargains come November.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2011 01:17:19
Ed, which striker looks most likely for us to snap up?

{Ed042's Note - At this moment, Maiga most likely mate, should know whether it will be him by early on tomorrow}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

31 Aug 2011 01:35:07
Ed, are there any midfield targets we are after? Im assuming Benayoun is off but I really think we need some experienced MF back up - all our starting 4/5 in the middle are young/new to PL and if we loose one we look a bit weak.

{Ed042's Note - So much media attention on the striker targets and Santon today its hard to tell mate tbh.. there is a possibility but only slight, few rumours of a MF target but no names, will know more in come midday tomorrow}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

30 Aug 2011 20:27:14
Great news on Santon signing. Ed, can you wrap up all our other interests for us - How many more are we looking to sign? Am I right in saying a GK, a Striker and then MF and DF if we can. If so what are the latest names - Rob Elliott, Cissikho, Benayoun, Macheda, Roux, Maiga. Which of these are firm interests and is there any more! Sorry for all the questions its just that there are so many names and rumours would be good ti tie it all up in one reply!

{Ed042's Note - Yeah great signing, well chuffed.. latest is mate if I can get the brain to work still ha, GK Elliott signed.. CB Situ due to sign tomorrow all goes well.. FW Maiga looks likely with Sochaux signing Camara this evening but no guarantee he is the replacement for him, will know early on tomorrow on that one.. other striker targets are Cissè, very unlikely due to high fee.. Roux, possible but very short notice.. Macheda loan with option to buy, fee to buy is too high at the moment though.. and lastly Ogunjimi, who the Daily Fail have reported tonight as a target but I havnt had a chance to suss out yet tbh.. as you know though mate, deadline day always throws up a few random ones, will let you know if I hear anything more definitive}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

31 Aug 2011 00:42:00
alright ed?... quick question do you think we will make more signings today before the deadline? if so... who and how many? and do you think well get rid of anymore players tomorrow? thanks jrob

{Ed042's Note - We will make two signings tomorrow imo, one being Situ, the other being a striker, most likely Maiga but Sochaux are making it difficult, others being touted are Cissè, Roux, Maynard, Ogunjimi and Macheda, would pay most attention to the latter two if Maiga doesnt come off, will take a lot to get Roux on such short notice and Cissè is being priced out of a move, dont think we`ll go to the price Freiburg are looking for him.. but deadline day always throws up a few surprises so you never know could be more than two signings, but would expect two... as for players leaving, can see Ranger going tomorrow and possibly Perch, Lovenkrands I would be surprised to see go, Smith I would like to see go but doubtful again, anyone else would be a big shock to go}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Cheers ed :)

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2011 00:31:53
In an ideal world, would love to get both Maiga and Papiss Cisse. Maiga 23, scored 14 goals in 36 games in French league 1, and Papiss Cisse scored at over 1 goal every other game in the German bundesliga and is only 26! These two would form great partnerships with the likes of Best and the Ameobi's chipping in with goals, along with the likes of Cabaye, R.Taylor and Marveaux in midfield.

If I really got my way, then I would hope for the two strikers above, a quality replacement for Barton at right midfield and an even better, international standard player (preferably attacking)to sign last minute, a bit like Rafa VDV at Tottehnam last season!

Pretty unrealistic mind...

What do you think Ed??

{Ed042's Note - Haha a nice dream to have but not even i`m that optimistic lol tbh been reading up about Cissè the past hour and would take an awful lot to prise him from Freiburg this summer, would be chuffed if we could sign him but highly unlikely imo... wont repeat same thing over and over on Maiga, basically tomorrow morning will tell all after them signing Camara... as for replacement for Barton would be surprised if we did sign one, but in saying that we have been linked to a midfielder, and fairly accurate mail I got last night on targets came to fruition today and mentioned a 3rd player staying in Newcastle, was the only one with no name though, been doing my head in trying to find out who it is all day, chaotic day tomorrow thats for certain}

SO BRYAN RUIZ MAY MOVE TO FULHAM FOR 10.6MILL. what are we doing... typical ashley, makes 4=5 false bids for players he knows cant come... although i dont rate ruiz as a player we should go hell bent to sign but we should be bidding for roux and players with similar calibre not some moody player who refuses to play

Believable1 Unbelievable0

30 Aug 2011 22:03:35
Fulham have had 10.6m bid accepted for Bryan Ruiz, if only we had made some money on transfer dealings in the last 12 months and could match it!!!!!!!!!! Can play upfront and different to what we have, also plays as attacking midfield. What do you think Ed? I know they won't spend the money and is the wrong side of 25, but we can dream!!

{Ed042's Note - Good player alright, player has come out before and said he would like a move to Fulham, dont ask me why them specifically, maybe because its London, and they have finally put a good bid in so would expect them to have a very good chance of getting him... Maiga, Cissè, Roux and Marvin Ogunjimi are said to be the names in the frame for us, wont know more until the morning because of the Maiga deal hinging on the new Sochaux signing, unsure whether it will be enough for them to let him go, Camara is only young, might not be seen as his replacement}

ed you heard anything more on the smith guthrie think we where talking about before
marknufc

{Ed042's Note - Hows things Mark lad, happy with Santon? Sorry taken so long to get back, busy evening.. West Ham linked with Smith but have signed Papa Bouba Diop and Guthrie has no bid as yet, has been out speaking about being back form injury and getting back into things before the QPR game so looks unlikely he`ll move, young, low wages, good attitude, good back up so Pardew might want to hold onto him, get rid of dead wood instead, but tomorrow could bring a few surprises}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Cheers ed mate all good u mate. i like guthrie just wished we would get smith off the book as he nothing but a waste of time mind on the other side he been getting played out of position for years and maybe that has something to do with it and yeah over the moon with santon move just dose go to show maybe that MA and the his crew arent as bad as everyone thing so any news on any more transfer coming in would like to see liam ridgewell come to us cos and a thing we should offer them perch and ranger and a few mill but dont see that happening but thing if we did offer them that deal they would find it hard to say no to it just like to say cheers again ed
marknufc

{Ed042's Note - No worries mate, i`m good just worn out, tomorrows going to be worse again ha yeah guthries a good lad, been plagued with injuries which has held him back but good back up for CM.. Pardew seems to have a lot of time for Smith behind the scenes, very good influence on the young lads apparently, maybe its why he has been kept around, that and nobody will pay his wages ha.. think because of the financial situation at Brimingham they will only accept big money offers to lose players, in Europe as well now so need as many bodies as they can keep, rejected a transfer request from him today too so looks unlikely they will let him go, especially not for cheap.. in saying that as you said give them an offer of a player and some cash might be too good to refuse}

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah a mean a long shot to say but a think it would well be worth a chance cos chris rated ranger and perch as he was the one to sign them but like you sed tomorrow you never know wat will happen and to me if where going to keep smith then maybe a few reserve games playing him upfront as and out and out striker may benefit him he was a striker at leeds and look wat he did there anyway off to catch some z's kids battered ma head watch T.N.A wrestling lol catch ya the mos mate
