2011 - Sell Carroll, don't replace him

2013 - Sell Ba, don't replace him

2014- Sell Cabaye,?

Regression more like. Only a matter of time before one of these backfires and we end up in the championship again and will be once more "indebted to MA for saving our club from the brink"

Even though Cabaye's a big loss, it will be interesting to see how the midfield shapes up. Tiote is automatic, so Pardew either has the option of just putting in Anita or else moving Sissoko from the wing (which is madness anyway) and slotting him inside to make a midfield trio of Tiote, Anita and Sissoko.

Where HBA also features in this will be interesting.

LDJ also to come into the team, although his ability is far from clear...

@LuukdeJong9 is his official twitter BTW. No blue tick but being followed by Siem who has a blue tick

M5

Anyone know what exactly JFKs role is? This window has brought yet another affirmation that he does not have any clue what hes on about and also no control whatsoever

RasTa

Is Cabaye gone or tonight his last game?

Fee agreed. No chance he'll be involved

"we tried to sign a replacement but there just wasnt anyone available"

Moneymaker

nufc.com - "a bigger version of Crewe's vision - but lacking any elements of success, ambition or silverware."

All of which were eager to leave to be fair.

Couldn't stop Ba going, Carroll bid was ridiculous and Cabaye wants Champions League in his home country.

Anyway, I'm interested to see how Luuk de Jong fares out, we needed another forward for sure.

One last push for Grenier I hope

Interestingly, neither Ba or Carroll's career have prospered since leaving SJP. Granted, they have won trophies, but Ba is struggling to get a game for Chelsea, while Carroll was unwanted by Rodgers at Liverpool and has since suffered with injuries with relegation candidates West Ham.

So leaving a club like Newcastle, where you are the focal point of the team to a bigger club doesn't seem to be an easy transition.

Would it be an idea to recall Jonas Gutierrez from Norwich? Granted he isn't the most talented footballer but he'd provide cover on the bench and I think I can speak for us all when I say I doubt JFK will bring in a replacement before the window closes.

Would doubt that's an option contractually with it having a fee agreed

More good business from Newcastle....it's gets better all the time

Meh Jonas was done with us. He hadn't played well for 18 months. Time to move on.

He would have automatically received a new deal had he played one more game, hence why he was moved on.

And he's been ****e for 18 months.

I liked the chap but it was the right call to move him on.

Sammy Ameobi starting....lord have mercy on us all, in fairness he played this fixtuer in 2011 and actually had a decent game.

That_Guy

Bench not looking great either. Would've preferred to have Shane Ferguson if we hadn't sent him out on loan. Sammy's... Well, he's interesting to say the least.

Who's that Armstrong lad on the bench?

M5

Strength in ****ing depth my ****ing arse

That_Guy

Is Vuckic injured or what's the story? If we're not selling anybody and our ambition is to reach 40 points then why not give the young lads a shot. Vuckic played in behind the striker about 2 years ago for a little while and played quite well. Some shot on him.

Amalfitano... Does he still exist?

Bigirimana?

Where are all of these players?

Marveaux, obertan, more waste of space, numbers do not equal strength

BArra

bigi is injured along with cisse

M5

2 players is nowhere near far enough away from the side for Sammy!

M5

Decent start!

M5

pilkington could have gone down there....

He's on loan to Dijon or something.

Will miss Cabaye's free kicks in those type of positions.

Was almost in the same spot as the one against WHU

M5

Nice turn Sammy!

M5

nice move! Close!

M5

What a ball to Ameobi by HBA!

Moneymaker

Could pay for missing these chances.

M5

HBA looks on it tonight

How unlucky is that!!!!!

WHat was williamson at there????


Unlucky Remy!

Sucker punch on here!

Moneymaker

AH COME ON!

So unlucky

M5

Top notch performance so far, no points for performance though!

M5

Ref, really?

Moneymaker

Bennet getting ran ragged, so resorts to kicking Remy.

Arsehole.

M5

Wouldnt say Taylor has touched the ball 10 times

M5

FFS, you know well whats going to happen here. This is ridiculous!

Morpork

Good lord. What a chance.

Moneymaker

That was utterly atrocious.

M5

The ball bobbled a bit to be fair to HBA
