I wonder what Arsene Wenger thinks of this

TaosHum

#TFC reporting from their club website that Sissoko will be joining #NUFC this window. I suspect there's still a medical to do. Great news!

Starting to believe this will actually happen!!!

BetterCallSaul

Looks a done deal for January. Fantastique signing

Don't wanna get **** my pants excited over Sissoko just yet. Unbelievable coup if it happens though!

Hidalgo

Sissoko would be a massive addition for many a club. As a Liverpool fan he's exactly the type of player they need and the price is extremely low risk.

Motivation could be a potential problem in time

Another one over the line.



Sissoko tomorrow! Some week.

Haven't seen much of Haidara. Anyone here able to comment?

Seems quick.

Im struggling to think of a more significant transfer window for us than the current one

Quality reinforcements in all the right positions.

I do think we could do with another fwd, even before ba left i thought we were light in that dept.

Moneymaker

John Guidetti. On loan. Sign him up.

M5

Thauvin bid confirmed by Bastia, player to be loaned back to them for the rest of the season

bazual

Interesting to see Haidara got Demba Ba's number.

There will not be an english player now in our best 11 and what a squad we will have if Sissoko joins. Just hope everyone gels and we stay up.

The three new signings, Dont like looking at youtube clips of players 'best bits'. Reminds me of that american centre half we bought who was absolute dirt but looked great on youtube before he signed.

Love the look of that side, especially the midfield. Only thing I wonder is if he will actually start Gouffran on the left? I have a feeling he might stick with Jonas out there and have Gouffran on the bench.

I think you might be right in the long run, however the lack of confidence in our team may lead to him starting....

Ranger making lovely headlines again

BArra

Sooner they get rid of him the better

Duff

Didn't know Obertan was from Mars? :P

gav86

Ah this whole no British players is turning into a bit of a joke alright from what Pardew said a few years back, but we can still field a British 11, prob is they arent great or injured!

Harper, Simpson, Willo, Saylor, Tav, Raylor, Perch, Gosling, Ferguson, Sammy and Shola

plus Campbell and Ranger off the bench :rolleyes:

BetterCallSaul

Colo officially staying

Moneymaker

Ok can we rip up Ranger's contract and flush it down the ****ter already?

Amazed we were able to land a player of his quality for so little. Best signing of what has been an awesome transfer window.

BetterCallSaul

6.1/2 year deal :pac: The board know what he will be worth in a few years then!

Moneymaker

Villa lose again tonight.

If ever a team was for the taking.

Which is true.

I'm kind of excited to see who we'll bring in up front.
I think the club are trying really hard and are putting the cash up for spend.

£8m for Remy, £6m for Mbiwa, £5m for Debuchy, £3m for Haidara.

I know only Debuchy has arrived so far, but with the likely arrival of Haidara and Mbiwa && a forward, strong chance we'll have spent close to £20m in this window.

Sounds ridiculous saying that, but if we sign what we need, we're definitely hitting £15m expenditure.

Couldn't fault MA, or AP if we do that tbf..

Aside from Remy - I'm glad my hopes have been fulfilled.

Sissoko an exceptional signing for pennies, brilliant business and best of all: he was an eager beaver to come! Really wants to wear the shirt.

Today marks a very good day for optimists like myself :pac:

BetterCallSaul

Just seen this on 365. Why do we only buy from abroad? Here's the answer:

Debuchy + Yanga-Mbiwa + Cabaye + Ben Arfa + Tiote + Cisse = Andy Carroll

Seannew1

Ideally,I think at max only 2 of the new french fella's will start against Villa.Given the importance of the game,Sissoko will most probably get the nod too.

Limerick Dude

As a Newcastle fan I'm quite disappointed in Colo. Whatever the personal reasons for wanting to go back to Argentina, I feel he owes a lot to the Newcastle fans and to the club for paying his wages and standing by him through the years, especially in is first season when he was finding the Premier League difficult.....I wonder what Pardew and the upper hierarchy will make of this?


"To my San Lorencista family.

"I write these lines from a long way away where I am missing my country, my family and my close ones. And with sadness of knowing that after a series of meetings held here in Newcastle that my return to Argentina has been momentarily suspended.

"Unfortunately, life does not always end up like you wanted it or needed it to, many times is it influenced by third parties and the rigidities of contracts that are stronger than the will of one's own desires.

"However, I am convinced that this moment of disappointment need not be an obstacle for me to declare my profound gratitude to each and every one of you for the affection and the support that you all have provided me during these past few months, in every way imaginable."

Coloccini added: "I wish to thank the authorities at San Lorenzo del Almagro and especially show my gratitude to the president, Dr Matias Lammens and vice president, Mr Marcelo Tinelli, for all the affection, support and understanding they have afforded me and who from the first moment, without any reservations or conditions, were interested in my personal and family situation and who put themselves at my disposal.

"Essentially, I want to thank the enormous effort made by them, from every point of view, to remove whatever difficulties I may have come in touch with."

Vurnon San Benito

According to the Telegraph, we've launched a €12m bid for Wilfried Bony - top scorer in Holland at the minute.

We ain't done yet boys. Going for our summer targets now!

Has been along time since I've been this apprehensive/excited before a game. With this being Villa's 3rd game in a week, coupled with their poor form, we will never have a better opportunity to get our first away win this season.

Also hoping the influx of new signings and the fact Colo is staying will lift the team. Can see the team being:

.................Krul........................
Debuchy...Colo...Mbiwa.....Santon
...........Sissoko.....Anita.............
.................Cabaye...................
Marveaux..........................Jonas
.................Cisse.......................

That's a strong line up. Hopefully Mbiwa starts, but known Pardew, it wouldn't surprise me if he went with Staylor for this one.

Going to be a really difficult game, Villa have had some very good first half performances recently, their biggest weakness is defending set pieces, and we all know how unlikely we are to score from a set piece.

Hopefully the new lads will inject some life into us.

Villa are on the ropes, they'll either come out swinging or roll over.

2009 still sticks in the throat, lets hope some payback is delivered tonight.
