Christmas Tree 4729 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 September 1st Who we been linked with better than Carroll, Barton, Nolan and Enrique....or Routledge? They ALL need replaced and we were 2 or 3 short, at least, when the window opened. Unless something incredible is pulled out of the bag I can't see them turning this around to a position of overall squad improvement. Carroll replaced with Ba (Better goal per game rate last season) Nolan replaced with Cabaye (Improvement) Barton and Nolan still here so no replacement arrived as yet Routledge replaced with Marveaux Convinced? If I were....what about the striker and right back (and possibly centre back) we already needed? Want want want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 7297 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 All this fantastic publicity will do wonders for all of the potential targets that we'll be hoping to land. They'll be queuing up to join, negotiating their wages downwards trying to increase their chances of being signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to wonder if he will grow to be the modern Newcastle fan when those who really care just can't stand to see the club get raped. 30'000 blind people wishing players the best of luck and praising the books after another is forced out or sold at a profit.

As much as I'm firmly in Team Moan Like a Cunt Because Your Sick of The Club Being Raped By a Fat Cockney Twat, Cabaye isn't a player I'm worried about. I think he'll be class.

Kid Dynamite 7034 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 By the weekend it's looking like... Summer 2011 Out Jose Enrique £10,000,000 Kevin Nolan £4,000,000 Wayne Routledge £2,000,000 In Yohan Cabaye £4,300,000 Total = £11.7 Million net inflow Zang! Barton, Nolan and Enriques wages will be higher than the new lads too so that will be an extra 2-3mil a year saved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might or he might not. He wouldn't be the first decent player failing to adapt to a new league, team, area etc. He has the potential to be a good/very good/superb player. But it's far too early to say he is an improvement to the former captain and one of the main goal scorers. And for the record, I was never a fan of Nolan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolan's scored as many in 2 seasons as Cabaye managed in 5. Watching him on Sunday he seemed to be doing the Tiote role more than the Nolan role....but he wasn't commanding enough of the ball to do it really well (perhaps he was scared of Barton ). When he did get a touch he seemed composed enough, set up a goal with a corner. Edited August 3, 2011 by Happy Face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14012 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 In the interest of fairness that was Nolan's best ever goal scoring season & I highly doubt he would've replicated that next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) In the interest of fairness that was Nolan's best ever goal scoring season & I highly doubt he would've replicated that next season. Aye, Nolan got a taste for it in the Championship that bled into last season. But Cabaye's only managed more than 5 in a season twice in his career...and that's in France. Not saying he should score more, or that he needs to in order to be deemed a success. Just that I'd be amazed if he did match Nolan's goals.

Kitman 2207 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 If we get Barton out and Enrique sold for 10 mill, surely that must free up the funds for a couple of free transfers? I expect we could attract nigel winter burn and dean windass if the money's right..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
