santiagomn8 0 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I just don't get it! I understand being linked to a massive amount of players during transfer windows is normal and obviously we aren't going to sign most of them. Right now Newcastle has to buy from need not luxury we NEED strikers at the very least and yet nothing is coming to pass. Every player we have been linked to Gomis, Lassoga, grenier, cabella, Valencia, caulker, lescott, I know I missing a few have all either gone somewhere else or we have moved on because of some reason or another. What is going wrong? Is it Ashley not wanting to pay? Pardew being useless, teams/players not wanting to do business/play for us. I just don't get it. Ashley is in this for the money it seems but how can you even make money if you won't even get players with some talent to eventually sell and our youth system is a joke. Sorry for the long rant I just had to get that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4711 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Local paper ramblings. Newcastle United turned down the chance to sign Bafetimbi Gomis over the weekend because they are confident they can land their top strike targets after the World Cup. That confident message came asNewcastle were given the opportunity to talk to the France striker as he jetted to Swansea on Sunday. The striker’s representatives – who told United he wanted a long-term contract and a sizeable signing-on fee – had already been in negotiations with Newcastle earlier in the summer, only to find the St James’ Park hierarchy lukewarm over the move. Gomis was in South Wales attempting to finalise the deal yesterday with Swans sources making it clear they had not broken their strict wage structure to take him to the Liberty Stadium. But they have handed him a huge signing on fee – worth several million pounds – to encourage him to join them. In a final attempt to elicit interest, Newcastle were again given the terms that would tempt Gomis over the weekend. But their message was that they would stick to targets that were sourced earlier in the summer. Newcastle want three Ligue 1 players – Remy Cabella, Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette and Clement Grenier. They have received positive soundings from Cabella’s camp and are set to return with a bid at the end of the World Cup. Despite a sprinkling of suggestions linking him, there is no interest in Islam Slimani, the Sporting striker, and Newcastle will also not revisit interest in Alfred Finnbogason, the Iceland striker who played for Heerenveen and top-scored in the Eredivisie.

Kid Dynamite 7011 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Lost 3 strikers and confident of landing 1 to go with the unknown kid we just bought. Cabella's owner made it quite clear he doesn't want to sell him to us too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4723 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 And is now 29. We're supposedly after Lacazette, Aubameyang and Grenier, none of whom are at the world cup. its just more excuse making, anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 6 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I'm sure I read Aubameyang had just held talks with Roma that have just collapsed. I guess it all comes down the selling club wanting to get more than a wham bar for their players, so will wait. And the players wanting better offers, so will wait.

Ayatollah Hermione 13842 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 The problem with this window is that everyone knows we need players and they can charge us more for players than they're worth. Not paying over your valuation of a player is admirable but at times, we really just need to bite the bullet and stump up the cash if they really think some of these are going to be vital to the team. That's before considering our stance to success which means you're basically relying on money to get players to sign. Money we won't stump up. It's a stupid cycle and it's no wonder we get nowt done.

Happy Face 29 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 it shouldn't be funny but it is like, we're literally not even going have the reserve/young players to even spoof we have a big squad anymore Pardew's going to be forced to play a competitive first team in the cup.

trooper 940 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Apparently there's interest for Debuchy from Arsenal & PSG considering he's only 18 months into a 5 and a half year contract what kind of price would Ashley be looking at ? We paid £8 million in January 2013 if I would imagine his price is going up the longer France are in the WC would £15/20 million be a fair price ?
