Christmas Tree 3997 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Cant believe we would let him go for anything like 8 million unless he has one of those agreements like Ba. He is without doubt the player I would hate to lose the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 France Football saying Debuchy deal is nearly done Also a lot of talk (I think via L'equipe tv) saying that Lille have persuaded Debuchy to stay for one more year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 AP press conference: "No immediate signings in next week but a body could come in in next 14 days" One body? Bit disappointing that. This time last year we'd made 4 first team signings. Hardly panicking yet and anyone who is needs to give their heads a shake but I'd like new players in as possible to get on board for pre-season. Long season ahead of us, need to be as best prepared as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Last time Pardew said we were going to take a while getting someone in, Papiss Cisse turned up the next day. Relax, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Am not worried, long as we don't end up doing all our business at the end of August. That said I feel slightly contradictory as whilst I respect the transfer policy the club have in place (i.e. that we won't pay over the odds for a player, but are willing to make revised bids), if it takes an extra £1m or so to secure the likes of Debuchy then I'd rather we just bit the bullet and gave in to Lille's demands a little.

Kid Dynamite 5937 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 We are currently one CB injury away from having Wilson playing there again. I wouldn't be putting too much faith in Taylor after 8 months out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I reckon a centre-half will come in but it'll be similar to Biggie. Young player who can play when needed and hopefully develops. Hopefully Perch can put some decent shifts in there like he did toward the back end of the season.

Baggio 0 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 "We don't expect anything immediate in the next week or so but we could have a body through the door within 14 days. "I don't envisage too many coming in. "We have a lot of young players here who haven't played much football. "People like Mehdi Abeid and Haris Vuckic. "But we are out there looking at players who will take us forward. "We have various options still and nobody has left."

Kid Dynamite 5937 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 The last time we had a good season and didn't take advantage of that in the transfer window was the year we only Lee Bowyer on a free. Funnily enough that was probably the last season I really enjoyed as an NUFC fan as it all went downhill from there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19837 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 We don't really need to sign that many players. A full back, centre half and striker who can play wide in a 433 would do it as long as they're all first team material. The key thing is hanging on to our best players. Or making sure we've enough time to get a good enough replacement in if another carroll like bid comes in. I hope they've learned from the Kuqi incident.

That's the positions I think we need to fill too. If the window shuts and we've signed Debuchy, Douglas and Hoilett and not lost any of our big players I'll be more than happy. We can afford to lose Ranger, Xisco and Simpson too if they come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is, we have the opportunity to spend modestly and kick on. You can guarantee if we don't we will lose Colo, Cisse and Cabaye to injury within 2 weeks of the season starting.

rogerbarton 24 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I don't understand why anyone would expect that we'll bring any players in until the last day of August unless it's for what Ashley/Llambias perceive to be very good business. They'll keep haggling over Debuchy until they get the price they want & the Douglas deal, if it goes ahead, won't happen until the end of August anyway. On the other hand, I expect we probably have a number of alternatives to Debuchy/Douglas/De Jong that could take us by surprise. However, how many times have we all expected bodies to come in because they are clearly desperately needed, only for nothing to come to fruition? As soon ago as January when we didn't bring in another centre back! Expect the unexpected with this lot in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
