With Josè Mourinho looking to reshape his squad reports in the Times states he is willing to let Ba go with Russian clubs coming in for him. Get Pardew to bring him back I say. Prooven goal scorer for us and would be welcomed back by us fans

He won't be welcomed back, he left us for more money and slagged us off.

Thing is, he wants europa or champions league, so we won't get him unfortunately

I don't think Money was why Ba left.

We offered him a signing on fee and good wages.

The problem was his delusions of grandeur and thinking he is bigger than Newcastle.

Everyone knew he would be dumped by Chelsea after half a season, everyone except him that is.

He had a good set up at Newcastle, a huge stadium of fans roaring him on, respect for his religion, friends at the club etc etc. Why he would give that all up to go and be a Chelsea reject I have no idea. I do not respect his decision, and for that I hope he never returns.

He has been rubbish at Chelsea anyway, who wants an out of form striker with a 9inch nail in his leg that has loyalty to no one but himself and his agents.

We are looking at a swansea striker possibly luke moore also young nakki wells from bradford

Demba Ba could come back as long as he is willing to play out left and rekindle the 4-3-3 we played in the season we finished 5th. I somehow can't see him being happy with that role and when he and Cisse played as a duo it sadly didn't work.

How, s this for a rumour, no one in, we lose cabaye now, and when we are 17th in January, more players going. But before that pardew resigns, and kin near takes over. And gets his wish at last. Taking us down.

Seems that BA wants a megga pay deal from a Russian side. no chance of MA coming up with a package to take him back to Tyneside even if people wanted him.

So much for JK promise of a signing by Friday - now he's off on holiday after a long hard weeks work!
Think he should see the real world!

Unless he's holidaying in Naples I couldn't care less about JFK and his false promises.

Reports in France that we are going for Lyon striker Bafetimbi Gomis who's not been taken to pre season training with the rest of the squad and has been told to find a new club by the owner of Lyon. His scoring record for Lyon last season was 20 in 35 appearances and he's got 43 in the last two seasons (let's say that's 70 games, 35 each season).

We were looking at him years ago, he must be getting on now!
29?
Still seemed a good forward then, but I haven't seen or heard much from him in recent years

Thats 21. 5 goals per season.

In France, playing for a strong French team.

Please don't think if we sign him he can do the same over here!

We play faster stronger better football, we also don't have the massive difference in class as the French leagues do.

There's is like Spain, Italy and Portugal. They only have very few good teams, obversely a player will be able to knock in about 20-30 goals a season if they are playing teams that are no better than our Championship teams.

If we sign him (which I hope we do, he looked like a new Drogba when he was 23) - but only time will tell. and we are Newcastle we won't sign anyone!

Gomis would be good, only 27 and has a good goal scoring record but he doesn't play on the wing (he's a CF only) so as I see it, we will still need to bring in a winger unless we are going to play 4, 4, 2 next year. also Gomis has just nocked back Swansea because of lack of ambition from club. so it begs the question why he would look at Newcastle at the moment. its not like we come across as a ambitious club with Ashley and JK in charge.

He's 27 nearing 28 I think.

Who cares how good Gomis is we arn't going to sign him. We're just moving from one (alleged) target to the next missing out on every one. Apparently today we have missed out on Aubemeyang, missed out on Kone and decided not to sign Remy whom we have been offered. This drivel from the club will continue all summer!

Italy have many good teams.
Juventus, Udinese, Fiorentina, Ac and Inter Milan, Lazio, Roma, Napoli.
La liga has the main 2, Athletico, Valencia, Malaga, Seville and Athletico Bilbao are decent.
But you are right with Portugal Porto, Benfica and Braga. sporting CP use to be good

It is funny how people say there is a big difference in class and that they are championship strikers. When clubs from lower league knock PL clubs out of cups year in year out.

In a one off 90 minutes anything can happen and that is why in a cup game, where all the expectation and pressure is on the "big" club you can see the underdogs ( often supported by the neutrals ) making a giant killing. If they were able to maintain that sort of form over the course of a season they would be playing at higher level.

They guy who said Italian clubs are still considered as anything other than average needs to set the time machine to the year 2013 and stop watching football Italia on channel 4 in the 1990's. Spain is a rich version of the SPL ( before Rangers hit administration ) as in only 2 clubs are ever expected to do anything.

The French media is saying Gomis holds us in higher esteem than Swansea so it may not be as bad as you think.

To the guy that said Italy have many good teams are you joking? Juventus could only barely beat Celtic this year in the champions league, and as for the rest inter and ac are far beyond good anymore. Udinese and fiorentina are full of myths and rumours of players and neither are particularly good also you missed out napoli who are pretty much the same as the rest, over rated and full of myths of players, none could hack it in the premier league, look at aqualani for example cracking in serie A awful in the premiership.

Gomis is far from the standard we need barely an improvement on shola.

Didn't Celtic beat Barcelona in the CL last season? I guess that means Barca are rubbish despite all they've done because they lost to Celtic.

I'd have Bent. Proven in the Prem longer and won't be going away to the ACON.

Bent = nearly 30, injury prone, lost his pace, hardly scored for 2 seasons, terrible attitude. No thanks. Would rather try Campbell tbh than someone we would be soon looking to offload.

How has he lost his pace aston villa don't play and when they do he usually scores
