Park Life 71 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 NEWCASTLE UNITED are understood to have made a bid for Nottingham Forest midfielder James Perch. The Chronicle understands that the 24-year-old could be Chris Hughton's first cash signing in charge of United after a torrid time in the January window. Perch won promotion with Forest under the guidance of Colin Calderwood with the Toon number two a big admirer of the player. Perch, has been club captain during his time with the Trees, has recently made a comeback from a stress fracture of the shin that has kept him out of action at the City Ground. And he has appeared in the last four games as Billy Davies' side have emerged as genuine title contenders behind United in the Championship. However, it remains to be seen whether the move for Perch has been successful with United guarded over their transfer movement this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I know bugger all about him to be honest, but if he is good enough and different to what we have (ie has pace and can pass a football!) it'd be a good singing as it has the added bonus of weakening Forest in their challenge for promotion. But like i say, he could be crap for all i know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giraffidae 0 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Where does this wonderkid play? quick search says he’s a defensive midfielder mainly, but can play right back or centre half, even in goal. Just back from longterm injury!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin 1 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Don't let the fat man see that idea NUFC Statement - "NUFC has recently completed a signing which will fill 4 positions, we see this as a way forward and we see this as a smart bargain, we would like to tell you we have stopped our pursue of Danny Simpson as we feel we have covered that position" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stevie Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 It's a fucking disgrace. I would gladly give anyone a 5a who sticks the nut clean on Llambias nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackandwhiteboy 0 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 It is a bit shambolic to read that we put in a derisory offer - the club were obviously never that tempted by him and it makes us look a little bit daft. He has seemed a decent player from what i have seen of him but looks unlikely we were ever really in with a shout of signing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestCarvel 0 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Don't worry people, you won't be missing out on too much if you don't get him. Although now Taylor is out you may up your bid? Perch's good attributes - Very Fast, fit, hard working, versatile (can play anywhere apart from striker or winger), loyal, hard tackler and never hides in a game. Bad points - struggles to pass the ball 5 yeards sometimes, has no long passing ability has no long shooting abilty. Just generaly gives it away a fair amount. He is also plaugued by the perenial "utility man" role, which is why he's not in our team right now. Im not sure where he would fit in at your place. He'd do the same job he does here I guess which is be a valuble squad member. Do you need a fast, hard working DM? Or a RB? I think if you offered £1m-£2m you'd get him. Oh and here's to hoping we both go up. WBA have had enough chances at the Prem. Newcastle should be there anyway and its about time we had another crack!

Although it is hard to valuate players like him. Especially when a major rival wants him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4872 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Pace would be useful in our side, especially if he can use it in CM but he sounds just like what we have with regards to passing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
