Newcastle United Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2014/15

Baffling quote from Pardew “I think it’s fair to say that if we can keep hold of Yohan and add someone else it will have been a fairly successful window for us". What planet is this man on?!!

Interesting stat from the Premier League so far: NUFC have played the fewest long balls in the EPL thus far

Yeah we've played more on the ground alright but we really, really lack a cutting edge. Maybe Remy and bringing someone else in will help with that.

Remy showed enough in 20 minutes to suggest he could do very well for us. Pacy, strong and he seems to move all over the place and drag defenders out of position. Like the look of him.

I'm told Mike Ashley let Cabaye listen to phone negotiations last week + he heard Arsenal say: "25 million a lot for a reserve"

Say what you like about Mike Ashley, but that was superb. Probably explains why Cabaye actually bothered to play on Saturday too.

M5

Thauvin passed medical with Marseille, despite interest from NUFC, LFC and AFC he has always stated he wanted to play there and nowhere else. Strange one, must be a fan.

BArra

So I'm seeing no iota of chatter of us bringing in anyone? not surprised

Be very surprised if true, and sure if it was Arsene or agent could easily sell it off as Arsenal saying what ever it takes to get the right price.

The whole Cabeye offer was a strange one, unless that is they follow up today.

Jonathan Bond being linked

a GK from Watford

Moneymaker

Sigh.

Duff

Is anyone really surprised by the lack of activity? The clubs ambition (I use that world loosely) was always to try and keep Cabaye today. Anything else would've been a bonus. Pathetic.

At least you haven't sold one of your best players to a direct rival. :mad:

Who? Segnesson? To be honest, I've a funny feeling Man United are going to throw a bid in for Cabaye before the deadline,not that they're our rivals or anything!

Pardew has been hawking him since the window opened

It's 4pm so only another 6 hours to wait before we put in a bid for nZogbia or should I say nSomnia

Probably offer Madrid 35 million for Bale and then say we tried but just failed to get him over the line

We're signing nobody lads.

Cabaye staying according to SSN

Soon to be proclaimed by Pardew 'It's like a new signing'.

Another joke of a season for us :-( unless they splash out in Jan we're definitely relegated

JFK and Ashley have a lot to answer for.

Piss takers don't even begin to describe them.

Feel sorry for Pardew tbh, wouldn't be surprised if he walks but I question whether he has the spine for that tbh.

"Judge me on my signings" - Kinnear.

GT_TDI_150

Suppose JFK didn't know any of the players that we were looking at, so he wouldn't sanction the deals ... OR ... they thought Transfer Deadline Day is tomorrow :eek:

Disaster of a window

GT_TDI_150

Are we the only premier league club to go through the summer transfer window not to spend money on a permanent signing ?

Rock bottom on the spendings table. Not surprised at all.

bad2dabone

Does Joe kinnear claim a wage? If so he's a thief

That_Guy

So frustrating to see us being left behind in the spending. We should've built on the Europa League qualification last season but instead we've had to rush signings in January because of our league position. We'll be doing the same again in January. We'll do fúck all next summer too and it'll be a vicious cycle. Floundering in below mid-table for ages until Ashley sells up.

Pathetic.

Serious questions have to be asked of Kinnear. What is his role? What is he responsible for? He's a fúcking mouth piece and an arrogant prick to boot. Making an absolute mockery out of the club and himself.

Yes we've kept Cabaye but we've let Simpson, Perch and Harper go with no adequate replacements.

Pardew should walk but I fear Kinnear will be given another stint as manager if he does.

Trying my patience really.

The Master

Kinnear -

“I'm head and shoulders above every other director of football”

“What I’m saying is that I’ve got my finger in the pie halfway around the world.”

"whether that’s adding meat or beef to the team, or pace in wide areas, or someone who can guarantee us 20 goals a season, I will buy those players.”

"I will help out Alan Pardew in every possible way that I can."

“So they say I haven’t had any experience in buying and selling players – sure I have. I bought Dean Holdsworth for 50 grand [actual figure: £650,000].”

I can pick the phone up at any time of the day and speak to Arsène Wenger, any manager in the league. In all the divisions.”

^ Well why didn't you call some of them and arrange few signings then :rolleyes:

JFK, in you we trust

Moneymaker

It's KK vs Wise again. Any and all our players are available if the right bid comes in, and players in positions our manager deemed were required, were not brought in and very little attempt to bring them in was made it seems.

So it's simply a question of whether Pardew walks or Kinnear is lynched from the Tyne Bridge first.

M5

JFK is either grossly incompetent, a patsy or a mouthpiece for Ashley. All options plausible. We can rule out the first if he is not sacked this week.

Mark my words, as soon as the no interest loan (to pay the bills caused by Ashley negligence) is paid back, Ashley will sell up!

I wonder how much damage can be done by then? The only way this can get worse is if we are playing in candystripes in the Tampax arena

Moneymaker

It was all so predictable yet i'm still absolutely irate.

Pardew Statment on Transfer window

"We are delighted to have brought Loic Remy to the club in this window and we believe he will form an exciting and effective partnership with Papiss Cisse.

"Joe has worked hard on numerous targets, particularly an additional offensive player. However some of the options that were available within our financial means were not as good as the players we already had and there is no point bringing in new players unless they can improve us and take us forward.

"We did the majority of our business in the January window, signing five excellent first team players.

"With the strong squad we have we should all approach the season in a positive, optimistic frame of mind."

Early in the transfer we bandly needed players, then we could do with one or 2, then we might get one or two! Lies lies lies

Whats the point of this statement? Its clearly contradicting what he said earlier

That_Guy

We are delighted to have brought Loic Remy to the club in this window and we believe he will form an exciting and effective partnership with Papiss Cisse.

What about Gouffran?

Joe has worked hard on numerous targets, particularly an additional offensive player. However some of the options that were available within our financial means were not as good as the players we already had and there is no point bringing in new players unless they can improve us and take us forward.

"Joe has worked hard"... Has he? Really? What offensive player might this be? We were linked to nobody. "Financial means"... What about TV money? What about money freed up on Perch/Simpson/Harper's wages or were you relying on Cabaye being sold?

You signed Kemen from Metz who is nowhere near the first team. Will he take forward? Not immediately no. How can you say our squad is strong enough when we were decimated by injuries/suspensions last season and the same will happen this year.

We did the majority of our business in the January window, signing five excellent first team players.

Only because of a lack of signings last summer when we were in the shít.

With the strong squad we have we should all approach the season in a positive, optimistic frame of mind.

What an utter smack in the face to the fans. "Just get on with it". Fúck you Pardew, fúck you Kinnear and fúck you Ashley.

And boasting about the record sponsorship deal, not to mention the massive bump in TV money that has seen 1/2 the clubs in the PL break their transfer records. It a sham of a statement, it completely contradicts what they said 2 weeks ago FFS!

Its an indication of their view of the fans TBH!

Moneymaker

Norwich spend 20m+
Southampton over 30m
Swansea spent 20m+
Liverpool spent 45m

You almost want the club to crash and burn just to show these fools how wrong they are. Utterly deplorable individuals and it's no wonder morale is as low as it is. Why would you want to play for these people?

They have as much credibility as this particular individual;



I had a feeling Pardew lacked the backbone to stand up to these charlatans and thus it has proved.

And saying there was no-one available that would improve us is utter drivel.

Bony, Caulker, Ince, McCarthy, Lukaku, Thauvin, Osvaldo, van Wolfswinkel are all better options then what we have.

M5

August 23rd:

"We have to make sure we get one or two transfers over the line before deadline."

Sept 3

"We did the majority of our business in the January window, signing five excellent first team players.

Another exit, Amalfitano gone on loan

as a neutral id love to see newcastle get the sort of investment to compete with the top 6.

not looking likely which is suprising seeing as they have a good stadium and fan base

Well lads, I know I have the reputation for ridiculously optimistic at times when it comes to NUFC - but just wanted to prove that I'm not entirely one sided :pac:

I think you have been replaced with a replicant.

I see Sissoko lined out for France but neither Cabaye or Debuchy were selected.

Hopefully everyone comes back in one piece for the Villa game. Happy hunting ground for us usually so would be nice to pick up 1-3 points and forget about that thief in the owners office.

yeah, its not bad at all

Pardew saying Remy is fit enough to start.

Wonder if that means Cisse's place is under threat or if he'll go 4-3-3 with Benny on the right and Remy left.

There's a dilemma with Cabaye as well. Is his heart really in it?

Sissoko and Anita have done fine in the middle of the park, I wouldn't be dropping either one of them.

Saylor available for selection but i'd be very annoyed if he came straight in and Yanga is dropped.

anita behind sissoko and cabaye? remy cisse and benny with the back 4 the same would be what i would like to see,
yeah its attaching but i think its probably our best team atm unlikely to see that 11 but you never know

Vurnon San Benito

Hoping against hope that Anita gets another start tomorrow. Him behind Cabs and Sissoko could be lethal. Then Benny and Rémy on the wings with Cissé up top.

Couple that with Santon and Debuchy as full-backs and there's goals there.

Going to be a very tough game tomorrow, Villa a good side, but vulnerable.

Another 2-1 victory at Villa Park would do me
