Howay 12496 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Not for 20m like, he's a ok enough player in the awkwardness he causes defences at times but like many have said 20m is laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7170 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Apparently Neil Warnock said on BT sport earlier that Pardew told him we would be signing a new player tomorrow.

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 If that's true, I'd wager it won't be the proven striker/CB we're crying out for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17654 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 If that's true, I'd wager it won't be the proven striker/CB we're crying out for. We may get a striker if we get an acceptable offer for Tiote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 14053 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Can't see Tiote leaving for the reasons Alex was talking about in the other thread tbh. If it's anyone, I can see it being Yanga-Mbwia (possibly on loan) so they can get that kid from Celtic in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 We may get a striker if we get an acceptable offer for Tiote. Sad and probably true.

If it's anyone, I can see it being Yanga-Mbwia (possibly on loan) so they can get that kid from Celtic in. No chance of getting the Celtic lad, we're not a big enough club again. Ronny Delia - “He is a top player. If he trains well and focuses on the right things he can go to big clubs – and I mean clubs above Newcastle. That’s the target for him. He has to go to teams that are at the highest level and he can do that from Celtic. If he continues playing the way he is, working on his concentration and learning from the experiences of European competition he can move to a big club. He has everything, he just needs to keep consistency and to keep motivated.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10965 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 He's hardly going to say "Well, this new player we've got is shit, isn't he?" nor would he say "We're fucked and never going to score" Howay CSD, you can do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a far cry from "we lost the players that brought the majority of our goals this season and we still need that address that" as well. His finger on the pulse crack is basically delaying the fans fury until after the window shuts. He's hoping we can smash a few in before then, then his comments for not buying a proper goalscorer are set up nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His finger on the pulse crack is basically delaying the fans fury until after the window shuts. He's hoping we can smash a few in before then, then his comments for not buying a proper goalscorer are set up nicely In all seriousness we've been close to scoring both games Perez was unlucky against City and if De Jong had been on longer I honestly believe he would have scored. I'm still obviously keen to see an out and out finisher join, but I don't think we're relegation candidates without one. Mainly because we're two games in and I'm not one to get involved with histrionics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 We need someone to get closer to riviere, he's isolated a lot of the time and no one seems to be making movements around him to open up space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might turn it around, but it's not knee jerk to complain about our failings in front of goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10965 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 It is histrionics when the players coming close are brand new to the league and to the team. We are creating chances and these new signings will need time to settle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Pardew has increased the number of shots on goal every season since he arrived. He's also reduced the number of goals scored year on year though. Quality of chances is poorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
