  1. Providing everyone is fit and Mike doesn't sell any one and trouser the cash, I think Pardew will go with a diamond midfield with Tiote holding, Anita and Cabaye either side and give Ben Arfa a free role behine the strikers, relying on width from the fullbacks.
  2. I think Chelsea would be the only realistic destination and I think that's unlikely now with the money they've spent. He's not good enough technically for Man Utd, Man City have just signed Rodwell and Arsenal and Spurs are after M'Vila.
  3. I'm not sure who would buy him tbh considering the money we would want.
  4. They've got a new one out that the company want them to display instead. http://www.redseamax.com/redseamax/250Temp/redseamax/Red_Sea_MAX_HP_250.html
  5. Good write up on him here. http://www.sabotagetimes.com/football-sport/vurnon-anita-an-ajax-fan-on-why-newcastle-should-sign-the-new-seedorf/
  6. I just bought a marine fish tank I've been contemplating purchasing one for a while now but have been put off with starting one from scratch, however I went in to the aquatics centre today and they were getting rid of their display Red Sea Max model with clownfish, starfish and a few others.

  8. I've been reading the Ajax fans opinions on bigsoccer and they see him as being a big loss. "I think looking at those names, Ajax will have a huge problem in DM. To be very blunt, they are all not good enough (yet). I also think Newcastle is not good enough of a club for him (could go for top club with 1 more year at Ajax), but also the wrong club. The fact a destroyer like Tiote could become a hit over there tells me they don't go for real football. Anita is a triangle player. A positioner off ball, a passer on ball, a defender in case of a surging center defender, a pressure applier when the ball is lost. He's made for the passing teams in EPL (Swansea, Liverpool under Rogers etc.). He could even get into trouble when he enters a club that plays football by the wrong paradigm. I like Newcastle attackers, I like Krul being there, but not sure about the football at times and if it's optimal for Anita and by that optimal for Newcastle."
  9. I can't say that nobody will leave as we know if the right offer comes in then we will sell, however Llambias has also said that Pardew's aim was to reduce the squad but bring in more quality which signings like Anita and De Jong/Carroll would do. We've got a quality starting 11 apart from right back, however if anyone is out the back up is quite poor so it makes sense.
  10. I've just checked the stats and Tiote has only played in 61% of our games in the past 2 years so it makes sense that we're not wanting to rely on Bigi at his age for cover.
  11. I think he will jump above Jonas in midfield in whatever formation Pardew comes up with. I thought your worry about competing in Europe was lack of squad depth, PL? Now we seem to be attempting to add depth you're worried about who might leave for them to fit into the starting 11.
  12. AMSTERDAM - Newcastle United is in charge of Ajax in a difficultposition. Adelegation from the Premier League Club wasin Amsterdam and made an increased offer (reportedly of over eightmillion euros excluding bonuses) on Vurnon Anita (23). The amount brings theAmsterdam - right before thecompetition starts againstAZ - in an almost impossibledilemma. Anita proved invaluable last season and Ajax do not want to lose. The midfielder himselfhassethissightson a transfer, however, put the board and asked to cooperate. So by financial director Jeroen Slop and thetechnical heartof the assessment can bemade or Anita ever greater profitthan thenine or ten million who are expected to bedragged out. Gregoryvan der Wiel The Ajax is justtwo years under contract and Gregoryvan der Wiel servesasa shining example. Therightback wasafter the World Cup in 2010 (up) eighteen million sold to Bayern Munich and Valencia offered last winter still total more than nine million. If Ajax now collectsfive million euros for him, is thatmany, because Van der Wiel isonly a year under contract. Problem is that Anita Ajax must find a replacement and the'footballing defensivemidfielders' simply scarce. Especially with the same chunk ofexperienceas the Dutch Antilles in 2005 at theageofsixteen made his debut in Ajax1 and since then hasplayed 108 league matches.
  13. €8 million bid made for Anita according to Dutch newspapers.
  14. I can't remember a summer like it in recent seasons apart from the Championship.
  15. The missus bought me the away shirt as a surprise and it arrived today, its a nice top but £50 is crazy.
  16. I'll be surprised if Swansea want Obertan, I thought we might be stuck with him until his contract ran out.
  17. I didn't say anyone had said it you boring little man. I'm saying we shouldn't delude ourselves to that being the case.
  18. He shouldn't have said it and he's not put himself in a good light however let's not delude ourselves that NUFC is the peak of players ambitions, if he does come here and is wanted by one of the top clubs in a few years time then he must have done something right while here.
  19. Any news on what formation we played.
  20. "I know that Newcastle is interested in me. It would be a great opportunity for me, and I hope that later I can reach Milan. Join Newcastle before Milan give me a chance to mature and experience. We'll see what it will happen " , said Yanga-Mbiwa to Tutto Mercato .
  21. Voted £6m-£10m. I think Carroll will end up here on loan too.
  22. Can't wait for this to come around, it's been a boring summer for sure.

    My GF's due date is Thursday so it didn't go down too well when she read it on yahoo yesterday. It's one of those things that you can't imagine how bad it must feel until you go through it yourself and have to explain to your other children what happened etc.
  24. I feel sorry for the bloke to be honest even though his ban has been long overdue. I think he might enjoy football more if he's off here anyway, he can enjoy the game without having to worry about being right or wrong all of the time.
