January Transfer Window 2012/2013 Season Rumours/Signings

Looking like Coloccini is going to walk out to me, and with them constantly banging on about really bad personal problems, my guess is, considering they keep talking about having him in the same place as his father, a close family member is likely dying and in which case, well, how do you pay transfer fee's for players and then deny them the right to quit, its a bit daft really, there should be some kind of system in place, arbitration that takes a look at the players finances and comes up with some level of repaying the club.

Of course, it could be a Sol Campbell type situation where he's just decided to screw everyone for more money and a huge signing bonus at some other club. I could also have missed something but unlike with Tevez/others they haven't said, marraige fell apart, misses his kids, homesick, its always "bad personal problems" + going back to where his family lives.

Newcastle had a not bad squad before, they needed a striker before Ba left, they're behind where they were unless the new guy is better than Ba, which is unlikely. What they needed was everyone back from injury and some consistency and they can lose a couple goals upfront if they can sort out the defence, which with two new highly rated defenders, could be somewhat done.

Often the issue is even with a team of players who can perform, look at West ham the year before they got relegated(or maybe the one before that), same team give or take, but uninjured playing well, had form, absolutely destroyed by injury and even when they got back, there was no form, they'd lost all confidence, playing a completely different way. A few new players to help with form and confidence can probably get the rest of the players back to form as well. Fairly good timing to get new players and injured players back at similar time so they can all gel together. Arfa's back from injury soon as well isn't he?

If Coloccini goes though they need another CB, and a new CB partnership can take time to gel.

Is it a shock? He handled himself very well through getting the sack, he was getting the Saints playing football, he was getting results, he had two promotions with them, he's not senile...

Ah a bit, just didn't think he was the fashionable big name manager most clubs seem to want at the moment, just a hard working, friendly scouser with the oddest set of things to talk about in press conferences.

There are a lot worse places to be than Southampton imo (and not just because I was born around that area)......without even considering that most of EPL players will be living in the countryside somewhere , rather than the city centre most likely.

Lol I need to put some random joke markers when I am talking about how nice places are :p

What I've been hearing is what you said. He was a naughty chap and the wife has left him and the kids and gone back to Argentina.

I can empathise with him and if Lorenzo wernt clearly taking advantage to get him on a free I would let him leave for a few mill and no hard feelings because life is more important than football. However giving him away for free, with no replacement, is in no way going to happen.

I completely forgot about Cabaye and Debuchy earlier! when I said you had a solid looking midfield and if Collocini stays a good defence. Those players with Cisse etc if you can pick up some form and confidence could be fantastic.
 
I'm guessing this will only interest semi-pro waster but it looks like Hearts are about to sign Michael Ngoo on loan. He's like a ****, young Peter Crouch.
 
Sky Italia saying we have rejected a loan bid from Juventus for Balotelli.

Surprised they want him after the abuse the Juventus fans gave him when he was playing for Inter.

Does anyone think that the lack of PL experience in the players Pardew signed could prove to be the catalyst for a Newcastle relegation?

Not with the players returning to fitness after injury.

Yanga will replace Williamson, Moussa will replace perch. yohan will replace egghead.

A Lamppost would be better than Williamson and perch

I would not begrudge him a move also but not on a free. The kids might have went back after their school term.


Well it's all on Pardew now. Time to show his stuff if Moussa lands he cant say he not been backed.

How are Newcastle for homegrown players?
Click to expand...

young or current?

academy had a clear out this summer over 10 players are rumored to be coming in for the Development League.

Loads of young homegrown players are out on loan or are heading out like Fergi/Tav/Campbell
 
Whilst I think its great being linked with all the big names (usually), I do much prefer the idea of going for potential.

They dont always work out (Djemba Djemba :D) but sometimes they are really special (Ronaldo).

Be good to see what becomes of our wingers now. Nani to leave?
