Bent will sign before Friday.

I can't see this happening as we already have cisse, shola, goufran and cambell on the books. Ashley well see it as adequate and won't waste the money.

If we can get him on the cheap and get him to accept a pay cut then it sounds like the sort of signing that Kinnear (and certainly Pardew) would be into, even if its at odds with the general recruitment policy. Presumably he'd be a replacement for Shola as an alternative to Cisse.

Bent is a heap of steaming crap.

I woulsn't mind Bent in theteam but I have to ask, what has Lambert got against him? he is seemingly not going to be allowed to train with the first team, which means we should get him cheap. but I have to wonder ifthere's a problem with Bent's attitude given Lambert's stance against him.

Yea Gourffan is not a striker, Shola is terrible and Campbell is only 18. So only Cisse, I think we need 2

Are you the same bloke who said PEA was signing? Face it. We are now bottom feeders due to our illustrious leader.

Gouffran actually is a striker, which is what annoys me about him being stuck out on the left to lump it; reminds me of how Rooney is treated because he has a creative side.

I would love to see Gouffran played upfront.

He rarely puts a foot wrong and has a winning mentality, you never see his head drop if we go a goal behind.

Gouffran is our most wasted player under Pardew, criminally stuck out on the wing and subbed for Ameobi after 60 minutes every game.

I think our squad with no sales and no additions as it stands, is already good enough for top 7.

All it would take is some good coaching, and dare I say it, being able score from set pieces.

Man Utd must have scored from nearly 30 corners last season, imagine our season with an extra 30 goals, simply by being able to attack corners.

Agreed about Gouffran wasn't really expecting much from him if I'm honest but was pleasantly surprised he has pace, runs the channels well, surprisingly strong and brilliant hold up play for someone who looks rather lightweight and think he would of out scored Cisse if he had of been played upfront every game.
Although I do disagree about the 7th placed bit.

We have the 7th best squad in the league as it stands.

Man City
Chelsea
Man Utd
Tottenham
Arsenal
Liverpool (In that order)

The above teams have better squads, arguably Liverpool without Suarez maybe not.

We are 7th in line.

If we were punching our weight we would hit 7th, if we were punching above our weight into 5th. As seen by the season before last. (With a weaker squad than now)

We are painfully short up front after losing Ba, don't have a lot of creativity in midfield and defence isn't that great if Colo doesn't play

Fail to see us having the 7th best squad - would put us just below half way in the premiership at best

Lol, you have the 7th best squad in the league,, tell where did you finish last season. no wonder you lot get called deluded.

7th best squad! 15 teams finished above us last season, how does that work? Sorry but the way the club is being run ATM we going to be bottom half team every year

before bidding for remy, did he escape rape case or is it still ongoing, don't want another ranger

Why go for someone who turned us down in favour of money
Someone we can well do without

Still ongoing I think.

Get real that's what 95% of foreigners come for, don't for one moment believe its for the love of the club.

I would take him but only after he's cleared like.

only one team has put a bid in for pea and its not Newcastle Dortmund have put a bid in of 15mill which has been accepted its now down to Newcastle to match the offer and see if they can tice him to sjp but with the offer of a top 4 side and champions league football Newcastle have their work cut out

Mind, he has always said that England is his preferred destination. let's just see!

Dortmund's offer has not been accepted yet.

Everywhere I've read the deal is agreed

The word from France is that they've not even agreed a fee yet.

Aubameyang signs for dortmund! yet again we are not even in the hunt for our main target ( get ready for the we could not compete in the market ) a team that moves for a player and signs him in 48hrs a team that is only 7 places above us in the forbes rich list, we are just wasting time because we ain't going to sign anybody decent, its time for us ALL TO RISE UP AND TAKE BACK WHAT IS OURS FROM THIS COCKNEY person!

Hes not signed for anyone you fanny

It's pathetic we didn't even bid for our top target. oh I forgot we have the best director of football so everything's fine. not!

Who's this cockney person you refer to? can't be Mike Ashley - he was born outside London. Can't be JFK - he was also born outside London.

Denis wise working behind the scene

MAGPIE AND PEAS, all the mackems hate you which is a good thing, but you are starting to pi$$ me right off, you speak plenty of rubbish, stop whilst your ahead before more Geordies turn on ya

PEA joining Burussia Dortmund! missed another of our top striking targets, happened with Remy in january. we need to just pick our target and make sure we get them! meet the valuation and done with it!

can see us signing Darren Bent, not a bad signing but why does every club he has played for always end up getting rid of him after a few years.

would LIKE to see:
N'Koulou - Marseille
Thomas Ince - Blackpool
Nathan Redmond - Birmingham
Bent - Villa
Bony - vitesse

this would give us half a chance of getting back to the top half of the table.

but I know this won't happen

i can see this really happening:
Bent - Villa
Tomkins - West Ham
and then we lose Cabaye and maybe more and we end up worse off than last year!

prove us wrong the greatest director of fooball!

Bony's off to swansea, don't rule out PEA he said premier league is his dream.

Pea wants to play in prem so surely the easiest thing for Ashley and JFK is just to match the bid! Or is that to simple for the best director of football on the planet!

Its just to simple your right. I can't see us getting anyone to be honest.

He's actually very interested in a move to Dortmund, Milan or Monaco

Who even said we actually want him? I know us the fans do but where's all this coming from?

Toon to sign remy for £8. 25m by saturday. same terms as agreed in january.
expect cabaye to go PSG for sahko plus 12m.
PEA to sign for £12m plus marveaux and obertan.
Williams from swansea £8m redmund from birmigham 2.7m and the shock of carrick from manutd £4m

Williamson to cardiff 1.8m
Ameobis both to boro. loan and sold 500k
Fergy to birmingham loan + 2.7m
Tiote to dortmund 14m

Meanwhile back on planet earth.

You deluded none of that will happen & if we were to sell cabaye we would need a replacement in as currently there is no players among our sqaud who have the creativity in The centre of the park as him

Thanks Ashley. Here we were thinking you never spoke to the fans.

Dortmund have 15 mill bid accepted for pae another one slips through the net

PEA bidding is allready at 15mil!

PEA is off to Dortman mate

Carrick Manchester United best player in midfield last season for 4mill ye having a giraffe

PEA Expected to sign for Dortmund now. There's a surprise, we wouldn't pay the money.

If a 15mil bid got rejected for PEA then why would they accept 12

Only seen fans mention transfer targets, nothing from club so when one fans target signs for someone else there's uproar, slating club for not getting signing over line, when club may not even have been in for them we aren't going to compete with clubs in European comps, good players go to good clubs in Europe or chase big money, we aren't either at the moment,
Potential to be is there but not under this regime so stop expecting big signings its not going to happen, just need to back the players we have or get whoever they are.

Am glad I'm not the only one that thinks the creativity of the team is a problem. If Cabeye goes we are screwed without a direct replacement. Cabeye is the only player in the team who can play a pass, have been saying the for some time. We need a defensive midfielder who when they win the ball they can then get an attack started. You don't need CM's who can regularly score goals, creativity is their main job. Strikers and wingers will score the goals. As I keep saying we should be looking at people like Verratti and Bernard. These two are really good now but in a couple of years will be two of the best out-there. Does anyone know of any good defensive midfielders that are good on the ball as well as without it? They seems very difficult to find.
