Tom 13906 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Pathetic from Newcastle once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 That was quick, que end of transfer window "well we tried for Kone". We should try for that Charlie Austin lad for £5m anyway, young and has a good record over 2 year in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 No sooner are "we in" for someone, then "we are out". It's like G.Carr phones the media outlet giving them a name, then 10 minutes later Big Joe phones the same outlet rebuking the interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 See Norwich have signed Redmond, around £3m is the rumored fee. Surely the sort of player we're supposed to be interested in, young and somewhat low fee with a big possible upside. Could have offered Shane Ferguson as part exchange as Birmingham like him.

Howay 12496 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I wonder what our new transfer policy is? "make it look like we tried" Seems that way, Perch said he understood the new policy, Pardew tried to offer him a new deal so he tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6068 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 We were in for him for about 3 hours JFK: What wages you want? Kone: £60k pw JFK: No. Bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay 8 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Cant see Kone taking us over Everton giving the ex manager connection. unless of course he did not actually like the guy. Do not think Bent would be the end of the world as i've seen read. I know he is not the complete the forward but giving the choice between him and any other strikers we could get he has a proven record. really depends how much villa are asking for and he wants in wages. plus Shola leaving to go play in the sun will leave a big Cone shaped space somewhere towards the attacking end of the pitch.

Kitman 2188 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 My biggest worry is that JFK has talked himself into a job on the basis of his "success" (in his own mind) at unearthing gems from the lower leagues. This could translate into a raft of Leon Best and Ryan Taylor type signings, players who aren't and never will be good enough to take us up the table. Frightening from a man who seems totally out of touch with the modern game in England and abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieMark 0 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Like Howay said, I wish we had of went in for Nathan Redmond. Quick, tricky winger who I have seen score and create goals in an average side and he is only 19. £3m is a bargain IMO if Tom Ince is going for £8m. Both are worth around £5m I would say. Tom Ince is another play I would have liked, but he is going for over the odds. Not really bothered about Kone, he is slightly above Average but he isnt better than Cisse and I would say if Gouffran started 32 games up front he would get around the 10 goal mark. I would get Darren Bent in, he will score 15 goals if he plays regularly. The way we "were in" then we "were out" for Kone, I wonder if it was a smokescreen? Feign interest in a player, pursue another target, progress deal for this other target and end the feigned interest in Kone? Seems far fetched, but Marveaux came out the blue...

Kid Dynamite 6068 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Not at 34. We want to stay clear of the old days signings of Viduka, Duff, Owen, Geremi. Players on massive wages that no one else wants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4003 Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Yeah they were pivotal weren't they? As it happens they were. Taylor in particular iirc was an ever present those first 10 or 12 games that really established the season (including that over the wall goal at Sunderland, 2nd game of the season).
