Summer Transfers 2013

ERANU!

[adios 717]

is williamson gone/going? defo need 4th choice replaced by someone with a t least some experience.

 

and a 4th fullback (or do I mean wingback ) if dummett's not close enough?

[aimaad22 4156]

Would like to think the likes of Dummett and Good will prove their worth somewhat in the first team this coming season. Maybe Mbabu too.

 

We thought the same with Ferguson/Tavernier/Bigi last season. One of them playing at a time might be able to hold his own, but if we get a a few players injured together and have to chuck in 2 or 3 of the young lads together at once we'll struggle just as same last season.

Well I think we were extraordinarily unlucky with injuries last season, which didn't help. But I agree. The thing about a lot of these young players is that a lot of them have at least got some first team (loan) experience. And by all accounts they've all done well. So basically most of that group are going to be significantly more reliable and ready than they were 12 months ago.

 

We should, of course, have strengthened then and sent them out on loan at the start of last season. Not half way through it when we finally bought some players.

Have to admit I don't know much about Gomis, is he any good? Is he worth the money?

[Kid Dynamite 7025]

Good for 15 goals a season. As opposed to our current second choice striker who is good for 2 or 3

[Kid Dynamite 7025]

16 last year though. Bellamy had a poor scoring record prior to joining us too

[desmondTUTU 0]

Im sure Pardew will put him to good effect alongside Amemobi

[Monroe Transfer 0]

Please be your usual Sky sources nonsense...

Sunderland full-back Phil Bardsley is a target for Fulham, Newcastle and Blackburn, according to Sky sources.

The Scotland international angered manager Paolo Di Canio towards the end of last season when he was pictured in a casino.

Di Canio left Bardsley out of his squad for the pre-season Asia Trophy in Hong Kong, and the 28-year-old has been back on Wearside training with the reserves.

Bardsley admitted earlier this month his time at Sunderland is up, and Sky sources understand his preference is for a move to London.

As if Kinnear would be so stupid as to sign that sweaty twat.

[aimaad22 4156]

 

Bellamy was like 21 when he joined us and was playing for Coventry, Gomis is about to turn 28 and has been playing week in week out for one of the strongest teams in france, it's like playing for psv and ajax every week and still scoring less than someone who plays for Den Hagg.

 

He's an ok striker who does ok in a poor league, he's not a 60k a week £10m transfer fee player imo.

 

choice of him or kalou for half of that money i'd prefer the lower, especially when he'd be a better partner for cisse imo, we need a pacey run at/run off type striker, kind of like Vela/Bojan/Hernandez etc

Aubameyang would've been perfect, but a big target man like Gomis? i don't see how it'll work out well myself.

 

Should be ideal for that floated free kick routine then.

[aimaad22 4156]

I agree with Ant though, considering we'll be paying 7-8M for someone of his age and past record, surely there are other options out there. Its gotten to that point now though that it'll be a relief to have anyone is, at least he cant be worse than Shola.

[Kid Dynamite 7025]

Who else do you want?

[desmondTUTU 0]

Thin Ronaldo, messy and patrick viera would be nice.

[aimaad22 4156]

Who else do you want?

 

Someone pacey, who can run the channels, a bit younger too preferably.

 

The longer this goes on of course the more clubs will try to hold us to ransom. Why dont we ever learn ffs.

Wissam Ben Yedder, think we were linked with him earlier in the summer.
Young (22) and more of a forward than a striker.

[Andrew 4748]

Based on that, I don't want us to sign gignac

[JawD 99]

I don't know much about Gomis but from I can gather he is a big lad. As Pardew is meant to be pushing 2 up front more this season (rather than Cisse on his own) I think it's as much about him being a foil and working with Cisse as his own goal contribution. Maybe.

Could be said of most squads though.

 

We were massively unlucky with injuries last season but I think the squad is pretty strong in comparison to most.

 

At full back we have Santon, Haidara and Debuchy. Then Dummett, Tavernier and even Anita or MYM can fill in if desperate.

 

Centre backs we have Colo, Taylor, MYM and Williamson can even do a job for a few games (can't be relied on to play as many as he has been though!), then the youngsters.

 

If we play a midfield 3 we have Cabaye, Sissoko, Marveaux, Jonas, Tiote, Bigiramana (who I have absolutely no concerns about chucking in) then Inman, Newton, Vuckic etc..

 

It is attacking positions we lack in. Cisse, Gouffran and HBA are great, if we sign Remy and Gomis we will be pretty much complete.

 

Not a bad squad at all if we get those 2, would love a winger and another centre back mind but I don't think we desperately need those.

[LoveTheBobby 1]

Hey the way this fucking nonsense is going I'm gonna get a full face, body and balls tattoo and go and live naked in the wild like that leopard tattoo twat .

Okay, problem there's a lot of youngsters we're relying on there. Based on last season's evidence it just doesnt fill me up with confidence. Least we need to do is get a Perch type versatile player who can play in 2-3 positions.

[scotty84 0]

What is te latest with Remy? I read that we had been approached by QPR about a season long loan. Any truth in this or us going for a permanent deal?

It is only relying on a lot of youngsters if we have massive injury problems.

 

If we sign these two then we could have two different outfield teams like -

 

Remy Cisse Ben Arfa

 

Marveaux

 

Bigi Tiote

 

Haidara MYM Williamson Debuchy

 

 

or

 

Gouffran Gomis

 

Sissoko

 

Jonas Cabaye Anita

 

Dummett Colo Taylor Santon

 

 

To me that isn't bad at all, especially as I personally believe Bigiramana and Haidara are ready for regular first team football already and will only get better with games.

 

Compare that to others outside the top 6 and I doubt many Newcastle fans would swap. The versatility of a few of our players also helps, we would be desperately unlucky not to be able to cover most positions with a quality player imo.
