Kevin Carr's Gloves 3892 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Nah, Kazenga LuaLua was the previous saviour. Bit tenuous I know but I was going with the Eastenders motif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 71 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Groundwork being laid for no signings by the look of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2204 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Agreed. Difficult to see the fat man shelling out when we are comfortably mid table and not in an injury crisis. I'd like to think we'd get in a top striker but I wouldn't bet on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWalrus 0 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Or...groundwork being laid out for the agents and journeyman players of this world, making them aware we aren't desperate for players and we'll be the ones pulling the strings. Announcing that we are openly looking for a striker and a centre back (for instance) would have all the agent weasels lining up offering us all sorts of shit.

Kitman 2204 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I hope you're right BW. I suspect its more about convincing the fat man to spend money when he doesn't see the need for it. That's when you need Whisky Joe to show some balls but I fear he won't rock the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7295 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Not expecting anyone. The only way any will come in is if they're seen as a particularly good bargain. The worse our position the more likely we are to sign players. As it stands we're currently well clear of the relegation pack so there's no risk and therefore no reason for Ashley to buy anyone. It doesn't matter how close we think we are to being able to push to the next level with vital areas strengthened, it won't happen under Mike Ashley's ownership.

JawD 99 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 dont sign anyone, fail to land Remy and then bitch and whine come summer that everyone knows we need a striker and put prices up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarStripes 0 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 We only really need a striker in this window. I think we are pretty well covered apart from that. Shola has done his bit when needed but we would be in a really good place to push the top 6 this season if we can bring in another first team option to create and score goals.

trooper 940 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Proper centre forward needed far too many times this season players have ran forward with the ball and launched into the box with nobody there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santiagomn8 0 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 M'baye Niang the perfect transfer target for Newcastle in the winter He's young (only 19 years old) He's French Has not gotten enough play time could be looking for first team football Not to expensive somewhere in the range of 7-10mil Good young talent that can be sold for huge profit if he develops He is a striker which fits our biggest need That pretty much hits every criteria that Newcastle seems to have when purchasing a player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desmondTUTU 0 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 He's on loan at Montpellier till the end of the season, but i'd have liked to see him here, said it before he went to Milan, wouldn't say he's a "striker" though, he's more like a forward, plays a bit wider, uses his pace and then tries to make runs inside behind the defence Walcott,Reyes, that kind of player top player, id imagine he would be looking for champions league football though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4725 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Wouldn't it be nice if we went out and strengthened from a position of strength this January. 2 or 3 just to help us push for top four in this peculiar season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5217 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Pardew's comments seem to suggest that if we beat Arsenal, and move into touching distance of the Champs League places, we'll buy differently. I guess Ashley might be prepared to sanction more spending in Jan if he feels we have a reasonable chance of the added income that the Champs League might give us. It'll be a moot point anyway if Arsenal beat us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5217 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Not really sure on that to be honest - I'd get another striker I guess, just in case Cisse doesn't recover. Defence seems fine, although rightback cover for Debuchy might be worth looking into (although I guess we have Santon). What about a playmaker to replace Cabaye? If we get one now, he can bed in/provide cover this season to ease his transition in the next. So I guess Striker, Central playmaker. Not sure a third is needed.

He may well have a little gamble this Jan to reach the bigger trough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
