Newcastle are after 27 year old Lille striker Tulio de Melo on a free transfer.
What for we have the 2 dembas we dont need a striker
I really doubt we will sign him but maybe because Cisse an Ba will be at the African cup of Nations.
We may have 2 strikers already but what if one getsinjured or leaves and when they go to acn? What if they lose motivation as they are under no pressure with competition for their places? We are in europe next season and need strength in depth, chealthy competition and motivation. I sa we need 1 more striker at least, an attacking cm as well as dm, 2 cb's and a full back and hopefully keep hold of guthrie, simpson and all our best players this summer so we can move fowards next season.

"What for, we have the two Dembas"
Are you for real?
Have you not heard of the African Cup of Nations, the possibility of Ba being sold, injuries, suspensions, loss of form etc?
Maybe we only need one goalkeeper - Krul - also?
Shakes head.
Doesnt fit into our criteria, and nothing special as a player, and as for keeping guthrie and simpson god i hope we sell them
He's only 1 year over the selection process and on a free. think they would consider him, among others.
We certainly do need another striker. If one of the 2 Dembas gets a injury then we nothing of the same quality to replace them with. We need to start looking bigger as we will be acting bigger now we are back in Europe.
We have Shola the Mackem Slayer ha
Probably interested because he's free and we will be letting Lovenkrants leave, probably get rid of ranger and maybe sell best if we get a decent offer he's probably at the peak of his ability age and value wise. So someone like Mello makes sense to fill the squad out.
