Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse I read we have made an offer for Aliadiere...... A player that couldn't find a club 2 seasons ago !! I shouldn't among many thousands of our loyal supporters be surprised as this just underlines the current regimes commitment towards the real future of the club. I can only see us continuing to nose dive towards the championship. If Aliadiere is the quality of player we are going for to fill Ba's shoes then we shouldn't have got rid of Best and Lovenkrands !!

I hate to say this but I think I have to agree with you! This to me is a joke of a signing. He has already played in England and proved he could not hack it! He does not fit into our current transfer policy either. I cannot believe he is a potential replacement for demba ba, what a joke. If he is fetched in as say best or lovenkrands replacement and we sign someone else then I don't see it being that much of an Issue if he is cheap, however surely odemwingie would be a better buy. at the end of the day we have papiss who is class and shola who to be fair looks less and less usefull with every game, ranger has blown His chances and the sooner xisco's contract expires the better.

Why work yourself into a fury over alleged signings? we've signed one player so far Debuchy, surely you are happy with him?
Colo Rumoured to go but he hasn't as yet and Ba we had no choice
why not wait and see what happens?

Couldn't have said it better myself. completely disheartening, a substantially more so than our relegation season.....this time everything has been self-inflicted and completely preventable

Wait and see all this negativity its early days, balls to ahsley and co. Pardew doesnt want to be known as a rubbish manager, just as our players don't either. Yes we are not in a good place but what do you want ? Id take pardew and no money rather than some less able and still no money. Sod the board, get behind the team up the toon!

iow toon

I'd be very surprised if we signed him. He's too old for Newcastle at 29 and has a poor goals-to-game ratio. Surely Pardew and his staff aren't looking to sign this guy. Don't believe everything you read.

If Colo leaves during the january window it will be the most unprofessional thing i have seen from a captain of a team, yes he stayed with us when we went down but i think people forget the fee we paid for him, he owed a lot to the club from his first awful season for us, and as for aliadiere its all rumours until he is signed i don't believe a word of it and if he does totally agree with the above posts shows complete lack of ambition couldnt hack it for boro so why would he do any better for us same to be said for maiga can't get in west hams team yet we still seem to be linked with him, don't know what to make of tomkins never thought he was anything special but i could and hopefully am wrong

Just seen pardew in asda picking 11 tatties must be today starting line up, haway the lads

Man city tryin to sign collo cos the cleaner lost her mop that's all he's good for the mop head, what a traitortrade

I wouldn't worry it's all talk, if you haven't worked it out by now from all the previous windows, is that we only sign one first team player per window and a couple young ones.
We've signed our player and nothing else will come in.
Forget the stuff Pardew spouts - its the same every window and has no effect on the outcome - I think he has no say in transfers and does what's he's told

Phew! Lorient manager said he's not for sale!

Coloccini? A traitor? Are you off your head?
If he wants to go back to Argentina it's hardly traitorous, if it's because of personal issues in his life then it's hardly being a traitor, there are things more important than football.

Yes getting away from your relationship in Cramlington, is more important than football

So Colo is a traitor is he. There is nothing more important in life than your family. If his heart is elsewhere then his head won't be on the job in any case, as his performances have shown recently. The club should consider giving him a short leave of absence after the next 3 must win games which, hopefully by then Taylor will be back and another CB signed, and then see where we go from there. Colo has always given his best for the team and I'm sure this whole business is tearing him apart.

ed is this collo news just another reappearance of that same news from weeks ago and the summer or is it looking like he's looking to get out cos Pardew upset him by saying he' {Ed001's Note - I can't find anyone to back up the story, they all seem to think it is regurgitated, so I am going to take their word for it.}

Cheers ed much appreciated

BBC reporting he wants out now apparently.

But if he just signed a 4 year contract, surely we don't have to let him go at all?

The BBC are saying that he is wanting to leave due to "a crisis in his personal life" but he hasn't submitted an official transfer request yet and the club are trying to talk him into staying. He's also travelling with the squad to Norwich for the game so he'll probably play.

Apparently Ashleys put forward a funds pot for 10 new players, I hope to god this is true fans...

It's not April 1st is it...? Had to check when I read this.

Aye 10 players between now and sept m8 i read the same article ...geordie tom

Where can I read the article?

Its on the newcastle blog m8 ... geordie tom

10 new players between now and September would be great if we get the 3/4 we need this window, that's 6 signings in the summer!

If you read it properly the 10 players are not just 1st team players but for the development squad too so don't get too excited, it will be probably be 1 1st team and 9 kids to replace the dross they will let go in June.
Of course should we go down we can look forward to plenty of 1st team players coming in to replace Cabaye, Cisse, Krull, Marveaux, Jonas, Collo (if he is still there), Anita, Obertan, Debuchy and Santon.

The ten players are for an overhaul of the development team youngsters not first teamers

10 players? Sounds like a rehash of an old "tobacconist" joke

Its to replace our very average kids not 10 1st teamers!

Talk of Fabricio Coloccini leaving to play for San Lorenzo, however, San Lorenzo has said they do not have the financial backing to buy out coloccini, they said he would have to do it himself.

However didnt he just sign a new big contract? so he would have to folk out a huge sum, unless a team bid alot of money for him, any thoughts?

He has 3 years left so unless they can meet the asking price he may not leave but I'm not sure how it works

He can always do a tevez

I think he cab buy out his contract when 2 years into it, so he'll be able to buy it out in a year. right now we will get a transfer fee.

My favorite headline lately is "San Lorenzo wants the deal sorted out quickly", My question is "what deal"? i mean they don't have $10 bucks between them, they can't afford him, maybe the solution is to offer him to other clubs in that area (so he can be closer to his sick wife) and try and at least make some of our money back to chip in for a replacement....
SAGEORDIE OUT.....
