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.

 

Thats the key point isnt it. Lets hope they are. You can add Anita to that list too.

Presuming we only sign Gomis and Remy.

 

----------------------Krul

Debuchy---Taylor---Colo---Santon

-------Cabaye---Tiote---Sissoko

-----Ben Arfa---Cisse---Gomis

 

Pretty fuckin tasty first 11.

 

---------------------Elliott

Santon---Mbiwa---Willo---Haidara

-------Jonas---Anita---Marveux

-----Gouffran---Shola---Remy

 

That a decent 2nd team without having to use the likes of Alnwick, Tavernier, Streete, Mbabu, Satka, Dummett, Newton, Bigi, Abeid, Vuckic, Inman, Richardson, Sameobi or Campbell.

 

When you look at it...with two new strikers we have a pretty solid squad and a very good pool of youth coming through.

 

Edit: You could also add Obertan, Raylor and Gosling to the senior pool too.

Or the bid just isn't enough regardless of when it's made.

 

Theres one year left on his contract, see the Debuchy deal last year. Ashley in the past has been praised for walking away if the deal isnt to his liking. With a year to go on his contract he's worth nowhere nearly 8mill iyam. Trouble is there is almost certainly no alternative target and either he'll go to one of the other clubs in for him or we may get him in January. Thats the Ashley way.

Santon playing reserve and first team games?

 

EDIT: I'm also hoping Taylor will be usurped by Mbiwa if all 3 of our best CB's are fit.

Were desperate for a striker, on this occasion we should pay the extra.

Try telling Ashley. I actually agree with him, hes not worth 8mill regardless of the time left on his contract iyam. But I'd be very surprised if theyve got an alternative target.

Aye generally but to be fair in this case most would agree the player isnt worth more than what we've bid for him.

most (arguable anyway) fans.

 

clubs value players differently though

 

was RVP worth 24 million if suarez is supposedly worth 50? was torres worth 50?

At the time they were fair valuations but Torres has not given £50m of value to Chelsea.

Are we again going to argue over £1 million - £1.5million and place the start of the season in jeopardy having done the same last year and not learn't a thing?

50 million a fair valuation for a player whos only once scored 20 league goal in a season?

Wenger must be properly desperate to get something into his trophy cabinet like for them to be going for a lad with his reputation.

 

Funny feeling this one isnt down to Wenger....maybe after all the shit in the press about "6/7/8 years without a trophy" his employers have pulled rank on him and undermined the bloke with this one. Could be the beginning of the end for him at AFC. Some people are never satisfied.

If Ashley had opened up his wallet with 50 million for Torres at that time, you would have had no problem with it Andrew.

 

 

Is that seriously a point?
