Why aren't we not bidding for mario gomez? One of the best strikers in the world at 27 years old going to fiorentina for 13 mil rising to 17 mil. Surely someone of his quality is worth bidding for?

Is more like £22mil. He is the most over-rated player ever. If he's that good why are Bayern selling him.

Gomez goal scoring record speaks for itself. He is by no means overrated. i'd say potentially underrated.

It's not its €20mil and he wants to leave

Don't rate him, why would we want to pay his high wages for an overrated player?

How could you not rate Mario Gomez?

Seriously, the mind boggles.

The only issue Gomez has is his lack of pace, but apart from that he is a typical German marksman, he is a killer in the air and deadly with his finishing.

I for one can totally understand why Kone chose Everton over Newcastle. Notwithstanding the relationship with his previous manager, Everton is simply a bigger club in the one aspect that really matters; success.
Since their first post-war trophy win in 1963, Everton have been : champions of England (4), FA Cup winners (3), European Cup Winners Cup (1). In that time period Newcastle have won nothing.
So, a 'no brainer' for Kone.

The fact that Newcastle withdrew their interest in him days ago probably had something to do with it.

We are about on par with Everton in terms of reputation. Anyway we never went in for him, so he didn't have us as a choice.

I love the way Newcastle fans think players are just waiting for the day Newcastle come calling! 'We should sign him', 'we should go for him', face it lads, you're a wee comedy club up north that's only success is to entertain the rest of the country, and I mean OFF the field!

Scottymackem.

This coming from a smb who supports a team that will always yes always be our little neighbours forever in our shadow small club small minded fans as you have just shown now go back under your stone

Funny you say that, because nearly every clubs fans go on about signing players, did you not know that? and I can't believe your still on about that "wee club" statement that was not meant and was from frustration, he said with our loyal and passionate fanbase we deserve to be winning trophies. anyway, we are only a laughing stock atm because of kinnear, not newcastle. but if newcastle are just a "wee club" what must that make sunderland? we're a way bigger club than you, so sunderland must have the equivalent reputation of a blue square conference team! so you've basically just contradicted yourself! HA! silly mackems, SMB

Well said and 100% true. beansafc

I live in south wales and most of my work mates thought sunderland was in Newcastle just like Everton in Liverpool, I had to put them right that its a council estate just outside South Shields

Lol obv the taffy ain't been to newcastle either

So our management said last season due to having a small squad, and loads of injuries it affected our performance in the league. Also saying that Europa was another cause of this by playing too many games!

OK so why are we just selling players, I know Perch wasn't the best player we have, but he would happily play anywhere on the pitch for us. A very good utility man.

Now Gosling is out of the door and heading to Crystal Palace. Again not the best player (all ways injured, or never picked) but again it's another loss with no replacement in sight!

They have clearly said what our problems were last year and now we are selling even more players and depleting our squad even more than it was last year!

How the hell is this a good move on Newcastle behave?

They way I see it now we need: (that's if no more players are sold before the end of the window)

CB x2

LB - I would rather see Santon playing down the left wing rather than at left back (just my opinion)

RB - Cover for Debuchy as he is our only remaining RB (young Trav I think is still too far away from been able to play in the Preimer League week in and out)

LW - If Santon stays left back

St x2 - and good quality ones as well no stupid young kids that are going to cost £1 million to buy

Any one any ideas who we should bring in, or anyone think of any other positions that we should try and add too?

NU - IJB - FC

Do You support the Toon?
Whats wrong with Hadiara and Mwbia did you forget them and Briggy
Had they not been signed Any of these 3 players being mooted as possible players coming in now the fans would be over the moon

Hadiara is 19 he needs to learn of someone with experience. He's a hell of a prospect, but I still think another year/two of been a sub is better for him.

Mbiwa hell of an act, but he's CB not a left back and he likes to play RB and CDM. Why pull him out of position? I'd rather him play CB along side Big Coll (if he stays).

Biggie - eh left back? He's 3foot tall and no weight or muscle about him what so ever! Keep him where he is good at CDM/CM a new Tiote, a better more disciplined version! He quick and can mop up a mess

We are letting average players go, because we need younger and better quality. Gosling did nothing, williamson can do a job, but we need someone younger and better if we want to repeat 11/12. Perch also did a job but again, we need someone younger. Obertan, lazy inconsistent we can get better quality. Jonas, past his peak, brings nothing to attack, just defence (where he mostly looses possession or wins a foul) we need someone younger and better quality. Ameobi, lazy, old, can get better quality.

We have top class players in M'Biwa (who was a class buy) sissoko, cisse, cabaye, tiote, ben arfa, krul, coloccini, santon, they just did not perform last season but when on form, they can match up to the likes of man u, tottenham, liverpool chelsea.

Players like Sammy ameobi, Haidara, Campbell, Bigirimana, Marveaux, Anita, Alnwick, Tavernier, Dummett, Good will all have to step up to the plate next season to replace those who have left, along with new signings like Kemen, Sinclair, maybe Remy, Bent, maybe lescott.

We're four players down to what we had already!

Your clearly missing the point, we won't replace the players that we have lost! Because we won't buy anyone!

Marveaux is 27, he has been there for nearly three years and has never been a regular, can't even beat Jonas out of the team. Kinda' tells you everything, not as good as you think!

Campbell still to be seen, we have seen him kick a ball twice! and 40 minutes of playing time makes him an up and coming star? None of us have seen anything that makes him look the little bit special, if he was that special he would have broke into the team by now! Rooney Owen, Ronaldo so on all broke in by the time they were 16, scoring before they were 17.

Sammy please he's two pins running round like a lost dog!

Haidara class player, still needs the time to grow, and could learn a lot from Santon!

Alnwick, this season he might be given a chance now that Harper has gone, but it will be a very slim on and he will be lucky to get five games under his belt, and they have said he isn't going to be loaded out.

Biggie i'm expecting great things from him in the future, possibly a new England star on the horizon?

Tarernier seems to have the ability, but his knowledge let's him down all the time. he clearly needs more playing time!

Dummett, Good will be loaned out again!

Lescott will never come, that's a pipe dream if I have ever heard one!

If the bafoon's get Bent! In the middle of the pitch will be Arthur Kruel Bent Kebab! With Pardew stood scratching his plastic heeeeeed wondering where the other half of the kebab has gone? Then turns to the stands and see's fat Mike with it shoved in his gob! RAW74

Brilliantly constructed joke.

Hull agree £4.5m fee for Charlie Austin, I think it would be worth it as a 3rd choice to replace Shola.
