aimaad22 3442 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 It is only relying on a lot of youngsters if we have massive injury problems. If we sign these two then we could have two different outfield teams like - Remy Cisse Ben Arfa Marveaux Bigi Tiote Haidara MYM Williamson Debuchy or Gouffran Gomis Sissoko Jonas Cabaye Anita Dummett Colo Taylor Santon To me that isn't bad at all, especially as I personally believe Bigiramana and Haidara are ready for regular first team football already and will only get better with games. Compare that to others outside the top 6 and I doubt many Newcastle fans would swap. The versatility of a few of our players also helps, we would be desperately unlucky not to be able to cover most positions with a quality player imo. Thats the key point isnt it. Lets hope they are. You can add Anita to that list too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StellarStripes 0 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Presuming we only sign Gomis and Remy. ----------------------Krul Debuchy---Taylor---Colo---Santon -------Cabaye---Tiote---Sissoko -----Ben Arfa---Cisse---Gomis Pretty fuckin tasty first 11. ---------------------Elliott Santon---Mbiwa---Willo---Haidara -------Jonas---Anita---Marveux -----Gouffran---Shola---Remy That a decent 2nd team without having to use the likes of Alnwick, Tavernier, Streete, Mbabu, Satka, Dummett, Newton, Bigi, Abeid, Vuckic, Inman, Richardson, Sameobi or Campbell. When you look at it...with two new strikers we have a pretty solid squad and a very good pool of youth coming through. Edit: You could also add Obertan, Raylor and Gosling to the senior pool too.

desmondTUTU 0 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I think Gomis is worth 8 in the current market. We really should divvy up to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 14559 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Or the bid just isn't enough regardless of when it's made. Theres one year left on his contract, see the Debuchy deal last year. Ashley in the past has been praised for walking away if the deal isnt to his liking. With a year to go on his contract he's worth nowhere nearly 8mill iyam. Trouble is there is almost certainly no alternative target and either he'll go to one of the other clubs in for him or we may get him in January. Thats the Ashley way.

Santon playing reserve and first team games? EDIT: I'm also hoping Taylor will be usurped by Mbiwa if all 3 of our best CB's are fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually agree with him, hes not worth 8mill regardless of the time left on his contract iyam. But I'd be very surprised if theyve got an alternative target.

At the time they were fair valuations but Torres has not given £50m of value to Chelsea. Are we again going to argue over £1 million - £1.5million and place the start of the season in jeopardy having done the same last year and not learn't a thing?

PaddockLad 14559 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Wenger must be properly desperate to get something into his trophy cabinet like for them to be going for a lad with his reputation. Funny feeling this one isnt down to Wenger....maybe after all the shit in the press about "6/7/8 years without a trophy" his employers have pulled rank on him and undermined the bloke with this one. Could be the beginning of the end for him at AFC. Some people are never satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
