All the big names and all the top players in France and Holland? Come on lads, we are linked with Graham Watford, Puncheon Southampton and Long Reading this week! THAT is where our buying will be so forget any exciting players from abroad. Ashley will NOT splash any money out, he never has and never will. Until someone comes in and takes over the club, we will stand still. Season ticket holder for 31 years.

 

 

 

 

31 Mar 2011 10:07:20
ha Mike ashley on of the best chairman around and us in europe. ha , only one place we going and that's Doon Toon.

No way will we get Drogba, Van Nistlerooy or any big signing, we won't get funded by the board.

It will be another season of No name signings and being messed about. We all need to wake up and get real, we not the team we were and will never be at the rate we going and we all deluded in thinking we are good anymore. (Deluded Geordie)

 

 

 

 

30 Mar 2011 19:21:08
Oh yeah on a free well that will be no problem for newcastle to get him!

 

 

 

 

30 Mar 2011 18:59:18
Ed how much is klose priced at. AJP toon {Ed001's Note - he is out of contract in the summer mate.}  

 

 

 

 

30 Mar 2011 18:35:02
Ed is klose possible it said on sky sports news that he would be on a free from bayer munich your thoughts {Ed005's Note - I think he'd be a decent signing for Newcastle - but he would need the service.}

 

 

 

 

30 Mar 2011 12:44:30
Could Newcastle be in the market to sign Niko Kranjcar if he decides to leave Totenham he has recently said he will consider leaving in the Summer to play first team football what are your thoughts ED?

{Ed002's Note - Possibly. I am sure there would be a number of interested clubs.}

 

 

 

 

30 Mar 2011 07:48:23
Welshtoon where did u here that at then

 

 

 

 

29 Mar 2011 22:17:54
{Ed001's Note - clearly you have no knowledge of Pardew whatsoever, you know that the West Ham fans used to call Cole the lamp post until recently don't you? Because he just used to stand still, and yes that is during Pardew's short time in charge of him as well. No the Nils Petersen source is not the same as the McGeady source, also McGeady was rated at nothing like 25m you are deluded if you think he was. He was also asking nothing like 85k a week to get away from Russia and not have to be constantly surrounded by bodyguards everywhere he goes. I am bored of this pathetic attack from someone who even admits to know nothing, try speaking from a position of intelligence instead of ignorance in future.}


Calm down mate ;)

 

 

 

 

29 Mar 2011 19:30:00
Ashley is one of the best chairman around and he will pump millions into the club soon.

bulls*it

 

 

 

 

29 Mar 2011 12:39:41
News i hear Newcastle looking at Renato Augusto from B.Leverkusen dunno if any truth to it heard anything Ed? Is he any good aint heard of him?is he Brazillian?(WelshToon) {Ed002's Note - He is Brazilian and his agent will tell you he is the best player in teh world. There may be interest from Newcastle, Liverpool and Spurs.}

 

 

 

 

29 Mar 2011 13:08:41
Hello, all people thinking about a massive didier drogba deal will most likely be dissapointed! if you want to keep dreaming you can, but try be realistic, look at forwards like these;
connor wickham(ipswich)
gervinho(lille osc)
el hamdoui(ajax or az alkmaar)
de jong(fc twente)
danny graham(watford)


abit more realistic? any thoughts from anyone?

To the person who wrote this:

" finally i dnt hav ani knowledge of who we r scouting but i know nufc arnt scouting nils peterson "

So if you don't have any knowledge of who we are scouting how do you know that we are not scouting Nils Peterson?

 

 

 

 

29 Mar 2011 10:36:16
Can i just say pardew did get the best out of the players i mentioned and granted cole neva scored loads but he wasnt a flop at all, and yes enrique was gud b4 pardew came bt ask ani nufc fans and they will say he is attacking alot more and better under pardew , finally i dnt hav ani knowledge of who we r scouting but i know nufc arnt scouting nils peterson, and i admit im not connected but wats ur bulls**t story, u heard it from, ur SOURCES the same ppl hu told u newcastle are interested in signing a 25 million pound rated mcgeady , , yep swnds rite, lets forget the price tag but newcastle won't pay his estimated 85 grand a week wages {Ed001's Note - clearly you have no knowledge of Pardew whatsoever, you know that the West Ham fans used to call Cole the lamp post until recently don't you? Because he just used to stand still, and yes that is during Pardew's short time in charge of him as well.

Kieran bowes has said that at least 3 championship tranfers and 1 international transfer.

 

 

 

 

29 Mar 2011 09:32:27
Ben wild is a scottish footballer who is currently at hearts and he is it talks with mike ashley over a loan deal for next season, he is a striker and he is 17.

 

 

 

 

29 Mar 2011 07:00:15
Unlike other club fans we have a sense of realism learnt during the Ashley reign and our expectations are low so signing the likes of Drogba which would have happened during the Freddie Shepperd era are no longer (thankfully) a possibility

 

 

 

 

28 Mar 2011 18:32:10
IS DROGBA WORTH THE MONEY AND WAGES FOR ONE OR TWO SEASONS?
jake the geordie

 

 

 

 

28 Mar 2011 17:51:38
To the mackem who just wrote in-we will spend VERY big this summer. ashley will top up that 35k with another 10k at least. some of it addmittedly will go to drogbas wages and the rest- who knows I reckon berbatov if manu are going to sell or gyan maybe. we at sports direct.com st. james park are very OPTAMISTIC.

 

 

 

 

28 Mar 2011 15:15:58
28 Mar 2011 14:34:21
Are you lot all deluded do you really think Ashley is going to give you any of that 35million, they way it is going you will get relegated. Your not the big club you believe you are. you can be linked with as many decent players as you like. The fact is they won't come to rubbish like yourself especially if you go to the championship. Truth hurts SGB's! !

Haha do you like sitting on our page and talking about relegation you's are not safe at all slowly slipping down the table so you could easily be watching championship football."Truth hurts SMB's! !"

 

 

 

 

28 Mar 2011 15:24:49
Fingers crosed waste of space/money alan smith will be heading north of the border

Ruan Pienaar all the way(Yes I'm from Ulster)

This is a football site mate lol

 

 

 

 

27 Mar 2011 09:23:58
Likely players newcastle could get:
Gervinho (13m)
Podolski (14m)
Falcao (14m)
Jermaine lens (7m)
Robert Vittek (free)
Affelay (7m)
moussa sow (9m)
juan alba (free)
Lavezzi (9m)
didier drogba (12m)

This is what next seasons eleven in my opinon should look like.
Harper/Forster
Santon S.Taylor Colocinni Jose Enrique

Barton Tiote Nolan Gutierrez

Ben Arfa

B.Ruiz/Gervinho
This is just my opinion, your welcome to comment on it. SCOTMAGPIE

If that's your team for next year im worried.No investment other than a couple of players.

Steven Taylor(are you serious)

 

 

 

 

25 Mar 2011 21:00:05
Yes i do have a comment well i think barton will stay he says he wants to end his career at nufc and hopefully will sign a new contract, butnot sure about enrique. what u think ed? {Ed005's Note - I don't know much about the situation but Barton seems happy at Newcastle. Enrique has been the subject of speculation from many clubs like Bayern, AC Milan and Liverpool as you know - so perhaps he'll be off in the Summer.}

Have we been linked with any right-backs/right-wing-backs?

 

 

 

 

25 Mar 2011 12:17:34
There is no one called kieran bowes on the scouting staff at newcastle FACT

 

 

 

 

24 Mar 2011 21:55:23
Yes your right about all the rumours have been about ivory coast players there good though!

 

 

 

 

24 Mar 2011 19:05:25
Drogba could be better if he comes to toon i think

 

 

 

 

24 Mar 2011 16:46:22
Who is kieran bowes n who dus he play for?? ?

 

 

 

 

24 Mar 2011 15:53:30
Looks as if newcastle's team will be all made up of ivory coast looking at all the romours going around lol

 

 

 

 

24 Mar 2011 12:13:12
24 Mar 2011 11:51:29
So big crowds at the sports direct.com eh - not for much longer mate we are going down

Even in the Championship we get bigger crowds than Sunderland do in the Premiership.

24 Mar 2011 08:33:55
Drogba will not be coming to the toon for a start hes like 30+ and will cost a lot in wages (cant see ashley doing tha) if anything he'll go bk to marseille (WelshToon)

Couldn't agree more a don't think they realise that were not the team we used to be.

 

 

 

 

24 Mar 2011 00:42:12
Before making up these rumours about Drogba, Benzema, Defoe etc don't you think that Newcastle have to be in the Premiership to sign any decent players and at the minute I am struggling to see where our next goal is going to come from Best's goal count sounds good but really 6 goals from 9 games isn't that great when 3 were in 1 game. And Shola couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat, Ranger gets all excited in front of goal and Lovenkrands it's like being a man down when he plays.

 

 

 

 

24 Mar 2011 00:32:43
So we have got Drogba, Toure and Gervinho coming in the Summer also heard from Newcastle scout that we are going to sign Zokora, Yaya Toure, Kalou and Eboue because Tiote is friends with them and all for 35 million BARGAIN! :(:

 

 

 

 

23 Mar 2011 22:31:52
23 Mar 2011 22:13:32
To the mackem who thinks its cracking him up about Drogba coming to the toon, well keep laughing mate
wait until he is in a black and white shirt next season see whos laughing then

Mate am a Newcastle fan but it seems like am a realistic Toon fan looks like am going to have the last laugh haha :)

 

 

 

 

23 Mar 2011 22:19:26
Drogba to be signed for 10mil, benzema 20mil perfect match! Ed your thoughts? {Ed003's Note - Sounds almost to good to be true to me pal}

23 Mar 2011 21:57:15
With 35 million to spend plus extra millions to be made available for Pardew there HAS to be big names coming to sports direct stadium soon. Europe beckons roll on 2011/2012

 

 

 

 

23 Mar 2011 21:45:33
23 Mar 2011 20:31:24
Definetely something big going on at sports direct .com stadium. To much talk of big name strikers destined for the magpies for there to be nothing in it. going to be a very exiting close season. Manu Chelsea Man city watch out!

Yeah there is something big happening at "sports direct.com stadium" it's called a big crowd not something you wouldn't of seen at Sunderland.

 

 

 

 

23 Mar 2011 21:41:14
Haha keep these Drogba rumours coming there cracking me up it's even funnier people believing them ha haha.

23 Mar 2011 18:37:58
I wouldent mind javis not the player that i had in mind at first but. .ED how much is he priced as? {Ed001's Note - Wolves were refusing to even consider any offer below 15m in January, now he is in the England squad? Who knows! But it will not be a cheap buy.}

 

 

 

 

23 Mar 2011 10:38:35
23 Mar 2011 08:16:35
We don't want hooper he is average striker at best he would never make it in the prem, I mean he isn't the best striker the Sunday pub league has ever had. I think he would struggle in the championship look at the likes of McDonald and Boyd any one score in your league its a joke.

Obviously someone needs to check what they are saying " I think he would struggle in the Championship" really I think not he scored like 24 goals for a team that were battling relegation.

I hear Jeremy Menzes is a target any news ed? (WelshToon) {Ed005's Note - Don't know.}

 

 

 

 

22 Mar 2011 22:00:20
22 Mar 2011 19:07:01
Anybody know how long best is out for? AJP TOON

Don't think he has withdrew from the Ireland squad so can't be that bad mate.

 

 

 

 

22 Mar 2011 22:00:38
Ed;

what is the probability that jose enrique may move to bayern munich, in exchange for the 13.5 millione offered for it?
(would a great loss, i hope not to leave) {Ed005's Note - There seems to be interest from other clubs. He may well be off in the Summer.}

 

 

 

 

22 Mar 2011 22:10:20
As a Newcastle fan I always get annoyed when other fans call us deluded but I am starting to see why now Drogba and Cavani who the f*** do you's think we are. We are 4 points from the relegation zone and you think players that want Champions League football will come here.

 

 

 

 

22 Mar 2011 19:07:01
Anybody know how long best is out for? AJP TOON

 

 

 

 

22 Mar 2011 18:42:18
All the Drogba rumours are completely untrue all came from a joke Tiote made with a reporter and if he was to leave Chelsea it will most likely only be to Marseille(spelling).

 

 

 

 

22 Mar 2011 18:44:56
Are you going to let Smith go for next to nothing in the summer??

 

 

 

 

22 Mar 2011 15:42:21
D.drogba theres no truth to that surely Ed ur windin us up "nailed on" lol [WelshToon] {Ed002's Note - It seems unlikely to me.}

 

 

 

 

22 Mar 2011 11:41:02
OLD PRO has no clue what he is talking about, end of. what you think ed? {Ed002's Note - I don't have a clue about what you are referring to.}

 

 

 

 

22 Mar 2011 10:48:13
To the person who said about Drogba. Tiote said the there was more chance of Drogba joining him at Newcastle than there was Tiote joining Chelsea. {Ed002's Note - Neither are going to happen.}

 

 

 

 

22 Mar 2011 10:20:48
Newcastle need to sign young promsing players e.g. wickham, kevin de bruyne

 

 

 

 

21 Mar 2011 18:25:37
Ed; is likely that newcastle signing to cavani in summer?, far as i know the price is 30 million, too much for a one player, would b better to watch young players with a future, as luuk de jong, marko arnautovic or marcus berg.
you think? {Ed005's Note - Cavani won't be at Newcastle in the Summer.}

 

 

 

 

21 Mar 2011 15:38:56
Funny a dirty mackem making stupid comment5s on a newcastle message board . . . . .you input is not reqired mate. and also i think bendner would be a half decent purchase as a pose to the sub standard champ/league 1 players we've been linked with recently
jakesome the geordie

 

 

 

 

21 Mar 2011 11:27:53
It was said before the game that best had injured himself in training on Thursday.

So what if he went out on friday night, its not as if he was playing on Saturday so it makes no difference.

 

 

 

 

21 Mar 2011 07:14:43
According to main site Swansea have financial problems, good young players there, playing terrific football, the manager definitely on his way up

 

 

 

 

20 Mar 2011 20:25:56
Ed; be possible sign to luuk de jong (twente of holland) and nicklas bendtner in summer? (luuk de jong is striker, 20 years old, height: 1.90 cm, 10 goals in 26 games this season, more 2 goals in uefa europa league and 1 goal in champions this season, playing for twente). {Ed003's Note -Not heard anything regarding them but anythings possible mate}

 

 

 

 

20 Mar 2011 19:43:36
20 Mar 2011 12:39:59
We need to step up i could not even watch match of the day with that score eneybody know what happened to Best i looked at the line up he wasn't playing and wasn't on the bench!

Throwing some shapes about on the dancefloor at club with Ireland and Folan a academy player until the early hours.

 

 

 

 

20 Mar 2011 19:41:32
Pardew claims that Best was injured yet I never heard anything about an injury until the end of the game when Pardew was asked about him being spotted clubbing hmmm cause we all believe Pardew let's just see if he withdraws from Ireland squad.

 

 

 

 

20 Mar 2011 16:04:52
Cardozo man wanted to replace Carroll,

 

 

 

 

20 Mar 2011 14:11:51
We need rid of Ashley and pardew, the players have never played for him. They where playing for hughton, but that has wore off well done ashley you might of got us relegated pardew strikes again.

Im not sure i think he might be injured he wasn't playing and wasn't on the bench im worried!

 

 

 

 

20 Mar 2011 00:54:03
Shambles! We re going down! Pardew should manage a pub! Stoke are well run, well managed club, Pullis is a Harry Redknapp protegee like Cotterill at Portsmouth.Sign Scott Sinclair, Nicky Maynard, Ricky Lambert, glad we didn't sign Kris Boyd

 

 

 

 

19 Mar 2011 23:20:21
19 Mar 2011 19:45:16
Phil Airey or Nile Ranger have to start against Wolves because Lovenkrands and Ameobi are simply not good enough and Fergusson has to start. Get back to 442 get rid of Campbell. Bring in Guthrie for the suspended Tiote and get one of the younger strikers I mentioned playing alongside Best.
Can somebody tell me where Best was against Stoke just I missed the team news?
In the pub

 

 

 

 

19 Mar 2011 22:38:11
IF (big if) Ashley does give Pardew all the 35m to spend, I do not trust Pardew to spend it wisely. This could be the only money available for some time and we need big names in. Should have had a replacement striker lined up when it was possible that we would sell Carroll. 2 strikers, right winger, Centre backs and right back. Rid of Best, Ameobi, Lovenkrands, R.Taylor, Guthrie and Routledge.

 

 

 

 

19 Mar 2011 21:00:46
Looks like were seeing the type of character Ireland is. Send him back to Villa when he came here I was hoping he had matured but going clubbing with a player who was probably going to start.

 

 

 

 

19 Mar 2011 20:55:32
Hopefullly instead of pleading in the papers about how sorry he is Best can score some goals in these extremly important weeks ahead and I certainly will forgive him.

19 Mar 2011 19:24:09
Really pig sick to lose so badly after they had so much rest and everyone from Best to Pardew talked up Stoke before the match so that losing was a foregone conclusion

 

 

 

 

19 Mar 2011 19:27:13
Cant believe Best and Ireland were in a night club the night before the match suicidal! Professionals who are been paid tens of thousands per week

 

 

 

 

19 Mar 2011 19:34:10
All the teams below us got points so we are in it. Its ok Pardew putting his hand up and saying he got it the shape wrong.I would fine him a weeks wages, and give him a warning for gross incompetence you don't need to be a physic to see Campbell is finished and playing him instead of Steven Taylor what logic is that !

 

 

 

 

19 Mar 2011 19:04:19
Couldn't agree more about Pardew didn't understand why Lovenkrands was even on the pitch. We are getting dangerously close to the relegation zone and it's all Pardews fault telling us he was looking at players in January then signing an injured midfielder and not bringing in a striker. Can't stand the man he is sweet talking fans in the papers saying were going to be spending the 35 million but really were going to be signing the likes of Puncheon and Championship players that's if we can stay up.

 

 

 

 

19 Mar 2011 19:07:49
Before we all get excited about transfers in the summer just think! Talking about that winger from PSV called Lens? Paedew during week said he is interested in Puncheon from league 1 southampton! ! Lets get real, our club is going nowhere until that little fat bloke goes back down south. Rumours of Russian or Indian buyers for us must come true so our club can move forward by kicking into touch Ashley and his puppets, Lambias, Pardew! NUFC till i die

 

 

 

 

19 Mar 2011 19:21:11
Team spirit and discipline seems to have gone down the toilet. Failure to agree terms with Barton, Enrique, Guttierez seems to have affected the work ethic. Why mess with the structure of the team and bring in Campbell who is way past his sell by date. Pardew is now being exposed, hope he doesn't do a West Ham on us soon as he joined them they were relegated.

 

 

 

 

19 Mar 2011 18:54:09
Yes agree Graham would be a good signing local lad progressed from Carlisle where we scouted him to Watford and can make the next step up

 

 

 

 

19 Mar 2011 18:56:35
Pardew has exhausted all excuses we need a win otherwise we ll be in a relegation dog fight and sink rapidly

 

 

 

 

19 Mar 2011 18:06:28
Pardew got tactics all wrong against Stoke, wrong selections, tried to play them at their own game, instead of our normal attacking game, gave them too much respect for a team that was below us, should have countered Delap throw ins Wimbledon style by putting a player in the face of Delap whilst throwing in we ve got loads of tall players.

Lambert-Southampton, Sweeny-Hartlepool, Holt-Norwich, Lowe-Bury and Murphy-Celtic all being looked at as new no. 9. Pards likes the look of Nelson from Norwich as partner for Williamson as Colo will be off to Italy in summer. Jose to Man Utd for 6 mill in summer

Dirty Mackem {Ed007's Note - I doubt the Murphy one there}

Listen if we want to still be in the premiership we need a very good number 9 i know airey at donalson are improving but we need a good number 9! ! mabye hazard gervinho, gamiro, any of them we need number 9! !

ED if Wigan were to get Relegated do you think Nzogbia will be sold for a knockdown price or still bout 10 million? {Ed007's Note - Maybe even less than that, he might have a relegation clause in his contract.}

 

 

 

 

18 Mar 2011 17:55:08
Wickham is not a prolific goalscorer and is overated.Redknapp has talked him up just like Carroll.Give me an overseas young striker anytime they have better technique, better attitude, much more professional.Just look at Ranger, got it all except bad attitude, lets face easy money for doing not a lot yet could and should be a star striker

 

 

 

 

18 Mar 2011 11:57:57
Yeah true probably just press talk after watching PSV last night Newcastle should definately go in for Lens.

 

 

 

 

17 Mar 2011 21:51:54
But what's the point looking at Westwood if were not going to sign him as were only going to sign players no older than 24.Just seems abit strange watching a player that won't be getting signed.

 

 

 

 

16 Mar 2011 14:12:01
I would love to see N'zogbia back at Newcastle even though most fans wouldn't but you have to admit it would be exciting him and Ben Arfa in the team.
However with N'zogbia priced around 9-10 million Lens seems the more likely as he is priced at 8 million.

 

 

 

 

16 Mar 2011 14:07:13
So Pardew has admitted he is looking at Jason Puncheon and Kieran Westwood.

Puncheon isn't a suprise as Pardew likes him from his time at Southampton and the lad has shown he can play in Premiership with 2 goals in 3 games.

However seems abit strange looking at Westwood as we have 3 quality keepers this could simply be down to buisness bring in a freebie and sell one of the youngsters and make
a profit.

It's on chronicle website if any of yous want to read it.

To the guy who thinks phil airey is gonna get newcastle number 9. What about Ryan Donaldson

Also highly rated but in cup he was used as midfielder and I think that's what position he has been playing for Hartlepool.

Confirmed by Graham carr our head scout who found us tiote.

-Carr has also revealed that United have been in touch with Sven-Goran Eriksson to seek references on striker target Gervinho.


-He also confirmed Lorient hit man Kevin Gameiro has been watched by United.

at least this is positive signs that we will spend!

 

 

 

 

14 Mar 2011 18:53:13
Nothing in the Parker rumour! He left us because he wanted to be back in London. So y would he come back?

 

 

 

 

14 Mar 2011 18:22:25
I played in a charity golf match yesterday and had a 18 hole chat with another old pro whos still at newcastle i got no names but one very interesting fact was that we will not sign any one over the age of 24 . . . so that rules a lot of players whos names are put on this blog . . .OLD PRO

 

 

 

 

14 Mar 2011 15:53:26
Could anyone tell me if kia joorabchian is workingacting on behalf of nufc in the scouting network in south america.no mention from club.

I'm with you not sure what's going on with him however Newcastle will probably just be wanting to keep it quiet so others don't make big deal of it as he seems abit dodgy.
However I would be suprised if more than one of his clients/players came to Newcastle as Graham Carr will probably assess them before telling Ashley what he thinks.

Ed - what do u think of the rumours of newcastle bidding for Adriano and Jose Maria Callejon in the summer? {Ed002's Note - Jose Maria Callejon looks a viable and good option. Adriano's time has come and it would be a waste of significant funds.}


Don't really know anything about Callejon but Adriano wants to go back to Brazil to be with his family.

Bryan Ruiz plays for Fc Twente and is a striker if I'm correct havn't seen much of him either

Thanks saw him on youtube he looks ace would be brilliant signing if we can persuade him, tiote might be able to help.

Whos this Ruiz guy people are talking about? whats his first name? What position does he Play?

 

 

 

 

13 Mar 2011 00:04:49
Ruiz won't be cheap were talking at least 10 million loads of clubs are lucking at him.

 

 

 

 

13 Mar 2011 00:08:38
Newcastle should enquire about Jaoa Moutinho(spelling) of Lisbon and just see how much he would cost and if he is available him and Tiote in CM would be immense.
His name has branded about pretty much every season with Newcastle and Everton.

 

 

 

 

12 Mar 2011 21:11:54
We won't be signing the likes of Benzema, Hulk etc their wages are out of our league. Hopefully our scouts will locate someone from FC Twente like Bryan Ruiz who will become a major star like Tiote.That would give us far more joy, hope and satisfaction

 

 

 

 

12 Mar 2011 13:56:21
We need players top players in our team so we can actually get through more rounds in the FA cup! and not get knocked out by Stevenage!

Kuyt has got 1 more goal than Leon Best this season and people on here claim he's s**te even ED said he was I completely disagree also Best has played 9 games scored 6 and Kuyt has played 20+ and scored 7.

 

 

 

 

09 Mar 2011 12:45:04
The thing with Van Wolfswinkel is he maybe prolific in Holland but Kuyt was prolific there fair enough Kuyt is good player very hard working player and does chip in with some goals but Newcastle need someone to score around 15 goals so paying 12 million just seems a big risk to me.

Same with Gameiro only proven in France.

What are you talking about tiote was only proven in holland and he has been brilliant as was ben arfa in france (shame about injury).

Yeah good point but Newcastle only payed 3.5m for Tiote and brought in Ben Arfa on loan that amazing buisness but paying 12m for them is a risk.

Ps. Tiote also showed he can play when he was at the World Cup. {Ed001's Note - if you check Kuyt's stats he does tend to weigh in with 15 goals a season, even though he has mainly played out wide.}

08 Mar 2011 20:29:08
To really see the best in Leon Best you have to go to the match as his work rate is great, beats most in the air, his hold up play is immense and he gets himself into great positions. But he has missed Bartons creativity the last 2 games.
If Newcastle can get Ben Arfa, Ireland and Barton all in the team at some stage you will see how good Best is as he will have much better service rather than crosses played behind him or over him by Guttierez.

 

 

 

 

08 Mar 2011 20:13:13
Just wondering what you guys think who should play at left back against Stoke if Enrique is out.

I'm unsure I would like to see more of Ferguson but he will get eaten alive by Jones, Carew and Fuller.

Candidates for LB:
Ferguson(his size maybe a problem against Stoke)
Guttierez(can play there and would free up a midfield place for Ireland)
Simpson(good at left back but keep him on right)
Perch(good pace but a liability)

maybe Colocinni with Taylor slotting in at CB.

 

 

 

 

08 Mar 2011 19:05:52

07 Mar 2011 18:28:53
Leon best is not premier quality. . . do u even go 2 the games best has been our top player this year and has developed his all round game not 2 mention he has out scored loverkrands and ameobi and baron in 10 games

Hows about marko arnaoutvic if that's spelt right? Ed would he move? {Ed002's Note - You are just throwing names up at random. It is not possible to respond to all of this.}

 

 

 

 

07 Mar 2011 07:03:16
Ed have you seen Much of Colin BOOTH, 19 yera old Left back at Hibernian or Jose angel at sporting Gijon. I think both will be great for NUFC. {Ed002's Note - I have seen nothing of them I am afraid.}

 

 

 

 

07 Mar 2011 07:09:46
Shocked to read Keiran Westwood has or is about to sign for us.Do we need another keeper, we are well stocked in that department or is it an interim signing with sell on possibilities

 

 

 

 

07 Mar 2011 07:28:16
Ed any chance the defender from the lower league could be Ashley Williams from Swansea? {Ed002's Note - No idea - sorry.}

 

 

 

 

06 Mar 2011 19:14:48
Player id like at toon nxt year is R.Queresma he be quality!Any Chance Ed?

{Ed002's Note - Ricardo Quaresma is having a great season at Besiktas and he will be earning high wages. It seems unlikely.}

 

 

 

 

06 Mar 2011 18:15:17
Welsh toon you have obviously just read the same article as me( sky sports) and thought the same as me. For me would be a good piece of business. Plenty of pace, good pl experience and obviously knows boom boom very well. With a good run of games week in week out he could be real handful! I'd also like to see van aanholt come if enrique goes(which I think will happen). Not sure how Chelsea see him though? Is he back up for Ashley cole? If so he's probably going to hang around and wait for his chance as cole isn't getting any younger.
Any

 

 

 

 

06 Mar 2011 15:29:33

Lovenkrands and Best need to go as they are not Prem quality a big name with an eye for goal is what we need
Nile Ranger could turn out to be a quality player , he just needs more playing time in the future


ranger is always late that's why he dosnt play, he got sent home yesterday for that reason

 

 

 

 

06 Mar 2011 12:54:45
Drogba 20m no chance! Poor effort yesterday, the team work ethic has gone, has all the talk about Enrique and barton not being happy and wanting to leave affected us?

 

 

 

 

06 Mar 2011 12:50:51
Sorry but the person who is saying Best should be sold are you crazy yeah he's not the most technically gifted but he's scroring and his jumping is incredible and the way he holds the ball up is great.

However I do agree with Lovenkrands going yes he was quality last season but Best win so much in the air and all Lovenkrands has to do is anticipate were the ball is going to land after but he can't do that.

If we had Ireland or Ben Arfa playing this would show how good best is holding the ball up for them to make runs.

 

 

 

 

06 Mar 2011 10:14:40
Looks like next year we might get europe unless we try and better not use 18-21 olds for carling cup so we might do a birimgham like even this would be good enough maybe 2 or 3 youngests and 2 or 3 on the bench

Much rather we didn't sign Carlton Cole and Kenwyn Jones or any other supposed big name. They command big fees, wages and then don't live up to their reputation or are injured all of the time like Owen.Give me Mike Williamson any time.What a bargain he is, loves the club, great attitude, ambitious, ever present.

 

 

 

 

04 Mar 2011 17:41:37
Lens is a more realistic target than Legear and will cost around £8 million.
Imagine Ben Arfa and Lens on the wings very exciting but frightening for defenders.
Cleverley will not be allowed to leave Man U again as he was only just allowed to join Wigan this season.

 

 

 

 

04 Mar 2011 16:36:12
Is Lens a realistic target for Newcastle Ed ? {Ed002's Note - I assume that you know it is a team not a player. A bit like saying is Gillingham a realistic target.}

 

 

 

 

04 Mar 2011 13:55:23
Players are often in lower leagues because they prefer 1st team football, late developers, spotted and developed by their local team, promotion and relegation from the Premiership, attitude, ambition, workrate, The Premiership does demand, command and garner most of the top talent, but not all

 

 

 

 

04 Mar 2011 12:12:56
If Newcastle want to go forward and be a team that is challenging for Europe year in year out we need big signings like Gervinho , Wolfswinkel , Lens , Kjaer not looking into championship and lower league players , there is a reason they are in the lower leagues

 

 

 

 

04 Mar 2011 11:49:43
Messi to newcastle because it is the best club in the world.

Adriano would be class signing, can't really lose signing him on free. Plus think fans would love him and could be the spark he needs and got good group of players who could help him through problems. Ashley could be quids in if Adriano hit some form.
