  1. Reading in the danish football community, people are not very confident, he'll make an impression in the PL. He have also previously had issues with injuries, but he seems to have cleaned up his diet and training, so that's not a frequent issue anymore. For him to be a benefit to a team, it requires them to be in control, and have possession, which is why he's getting a lot of tapins, as he is good at positioning.

     

    Also being reported that the price Feyenoord is looking for, is nearer 17.5 million pound. 

  2. 6 minutes ago, Kid Dynamite said:

    I don’t want to be negative, but having watched his highlights on YouTube he looks pretty slow and reminds me of Joselu! 

     

    He might make the step up, but with 14 games left he needs to hit the ground running 

     

    I think you're right to be negative. From what I've seen from him, he is not likely to offer anything, that Mitrovic can't offer. I rate Mitrovic higher, and the price tag is ridiculous.

  3. 20M Euroes for Nicolai Jørgensen seems a bit much. He was heads above most players, when he played for FC Copenhagen in the Danish premiership. He's done well at Feyenoord, but it's stretch to expect him to do a job in the Premier League as well. He's tall, have a bit of physique about him, and a decent header. He's got some pace, and have played as a winger, but not recently. He's done reasonably well in the national side, but haven't exactly been brilliant either. Of course Eriksen keeps stealing all focus there.

     

    Given Newcastles situation with strikers, he might be a good option. But I can't think, that 20 million euroes is a pisstake. I wouldn't value him at that at all.

  4. Not sure he'd want to swap a couple of extra training sessions for training sessions, and matches

     

    Well he is in a bit of a delicate situation. The only games he'd really had the last three years are nationals. Denmark have finally gotten a new national coach, and he might not longer be a guaranted starter, if he doesn't get regular games.

    I think the dozy twat is finally seeing the writing on the wall, and he has shown attitude improvements during his time in Wolfsburg. Not saying I'd want to see him at Newcastle, since it would be a massive gamble.

    But I don't think he's as picky about choice of club, as he have been.

  5. Might have been horseshit, but the mate who told me is an ex-pro and has no reason to make that kind of thing up. The guy who told him may have been disgruntled, but... I dunno... seems in line with other reports?

     

    I wouldn't put it past him, loosing interest if things are going wrong between him and the board. And he fell out with the board at nearly every other club he've been at.

    He certainly is gifted, but he's a liability.

  6.  

    I heard some pretty depressing things about his behaviour too. Not training if it was raining, delegating a lot of the training sessions to other staff and basically phoning it in.

     

    Not sure how much there is in that, but from his time at Brøndby and Getafe, at least, he was very enganged in the traning. From what I can understand, he got fired from Swansea, since he weren't willing to commit to the club. That spurred on a lot of shit talk from the club and Laudrups batshit crazy agent. There was a lot of back and forth for a periode there, and Laudrup held a bizarre press conference after his dismissal.

     

    But he is moody and strongheaded, and I can only see trouble, if he was ever to set foot in Newcastle. I'm questioning his ambition also. He seems to be very content, and only looking for a payday at this point.

  7.  

    Truth be told I don't really remember, it was a bunch of stuff about his behaviour around the time he was sacked by swansea.

     

     

     

    Laudrup will end up throwing his toys out the pram. He always does. He's stubborn and doesn't play nice. His agent is notorious for stirring up shit.

    Laudrup fell out with the leadership in Brøndby, Getafe and Mallorca. Him and Ashley just won't mix, and Laudrup will walk at the sight of bother. He just doesn't care. Good manager, no doubt, and have an eye for good players, and also seem to have a very strong scouting network. The things said about Laudrup after the Swansea thing, sounds a bit like the the club desperatly trying to justify firing a man, that didn't want to extend his contract.

     

    Also - Laudrup is nailed on to be manager for Denmark next year. I could very well see that happen.

  8. He looked complete rubbish last season so it's probably on.

     

    He was a very competent striker in the Danish league, and did get a couple of run outs for the national team, but there is still a massive leap up to the PL. But he seems to have become even more shit, after coming back from Cardif

     

  9. Danish football sites and newspapers are today flooded with stories about Newcastle wanting FC Copenhagens Damen N'Doye. Not many sources mentioned, but he supposedly a target to replace Demba Ba, if he where to leave.

    There is talk about the release clause, obviously, and that Cisse and Demba Ba are not getting along... which I find odd

     

    I'm not sure Damen N'Doye will hack it in the premiership. He's fast and strong, and generally a very powerful striker. But that's in the Danish premiership.

  10. Right. A friend of mine is traveling over for this game, from Denmark, with DFDS. On the ferry over, he managed to acquire 8 extra tickets for the away end. Now, he doesn't need anymore tickets, so he standing somewhere in London with 8 tickets to spare. I suggested he could offer them off on here, but he asked me to do it. I know it sounds a bit dodgy, but it's all genuine

    So if anyone is in London and in need of a ticket, I'll try and setup contact. I hope I'm not in breach of any rules. If so I'm, sorry and just delete the thread

  11. Bendtner was filmed begging for free pizza in Dernmark the other week because he had no money :lol:

     

    Aye, was giving it the "Do you know who I am!!!" spiel too, daft cunt :jesuswept:

     

    That has been knocked back a bit. He was pissed, and didn't have money for his pizza. He wasn't rude, like mentioned. Some girls paid for his pizza, and he gave them his number so he could pay them back.

     

    But... after Denmark beat Portugal, him and Daniel Agger had a few in the hotel, and allegedly assaulted some other hotel guest. They kept him quiet with a signed jersey.

  12. Had we signed a striker most would have been very satisfied so as disappointing as it is that we didnt, it hardly calls for the mass over reaction / relegation threads.

     

    We still have 7 points from three games, have one new striker, various back up strikers, Ben Arfa due back, Sammi breaking through, some quality signings and 7 points from three games.

     

    Disappointing yes, end of the world? Not quite.

     

    Bit of perspective

     

    The lies. The constant lies

  13. News in the Maiga saga

     

    tomwfootball Tom Williams

    by CaulkinTheTimes

    L'Equipe reporting that Newcastle have given up on Modibo Maiga and turned their attentions to Brest's Nolan Roux, who will cost €8 million.

     

    Basically they just moved on to another French club, and are apparently offering more, than what the did for Maiga in the first place. :razz:
