khay 10 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Newcastle's search for a new striker has prompted the club to look into the French market for reinforcements, with Garra Dembele reportedly set for a trial at St James' Park. With Alan Shearer retired and Michael Owen on the sidelines, Newcastle are desperately short of attacking options ahead of their Intertoto Cup campaign. Shola Ameobi is not yet fully recovered from the hip complaint which plagued him last season, leaving manager Glenn Roeder with just Albert Luque and James Milner as available attacking options. Roeder is targeting a big-name striker this summer, but he is also prepared to take a gamble on a rough diamond and this has prompted interest in Dembele. The 20-year-old, a France Under-20 international, is on the books of Auxerre but could be available for transfer this summer. Newspaper reports state Dembele will be put through his paces on Tyneside during pre-season, and that a deal could be pushed through if he makes a positive impression on Roeder. Next Henry.

Ted Maul 0 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 That's our new Number 9 sorted. I feel a Champions League place is a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInspiration 1 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 He'll be our new 20 goal a season striker, alongside Shola, Luque and Milner. I hear he's never played for Auxerre before. Definitely next Henry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.../\......\o/... 0 Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I think the story is taking it a little to far, he will be brought in as a young talent like the Zog was, not a 1st teamer. .....I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1260 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I know this is not going to the answer to our striking problems but I am pretty pleased to hear about us going for someone like this. We all keep saying how we should be bringing in youngsters like we have with the Zog. If it turns out well we could have a future star if not we don't lose much unlike the big money foreign signings of Viana, Boumsong and Luque.

Scottish Mag 3 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Jul 9 2006 By The Sunday Sun Newcastle face competition from Bolton, Charlton and Manchester City for on-trial striker Garra Dembele. The France Under-20 international has been on Tyneside all week training with Glenn Roeder's squad. But despite United's lack of attacking options, no decision has yet been made on whether to sign Dembele, who is currently with Auxerre. And that could allow one of Newcastle's Premiership rivals to step in and land the pacy youngster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Roeder believe by signing him (if it happen) he doesn't have to sign a 20 goals a season striker anymore, then I won't keep my faith in him again Edited July 13, 2006 by niina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
