Haidara linked

Better than Tarvernier and Shane Ferguson, good full back cover.

 

Hes a ****ing green player we are in a relegation battle and we are signing the green players before the purple ones.


God help us I think they are colour blind.

 

Anyone heard the rumour of santon and krul off too ac Milan ?

 

Yes I was saying it myself about 4 hours ago

it will pain me but in another way it wont because I've been saying we will sell all our best players for a while and getting accused of being a crack head etc etc

Ba is gone
Colo wants out
Santon and Krul could be on their way
Ben Arfa wants out in 4 months

Hate to say it chaps but I may be right.

 

hasnt he come out and said he prefers roma, and wants to play in italy. i think his exact words were newcastle are a good club but i prefer roma!

Looks like Haidara IS interested in a move to the Toon.....

Nancy defender Massadio Haidara admits a move to England would be his preferred choice in January, with Newcastle believed to have tabled a bid.

Sky Sports revealed on Tuesday that Alan Pardew had turned his attention to the France U21 international.

It is not the first time Haidara has drawn admiring glances from England, with Aston Villa understood to have made a move last summer.

They were unsuccessful in their efforts to land the 20-year-old, but Newcastle hold plenty of appeal to the youngster and he would welcome the opportunity to test himself in the Premier League.

Haidara told RMC: "Newcastle do appeal to me, but everyone has to agree.

"I would be very happy to play there. My preference is England. It is the league which attracts me the most and would suit my game the best.

"A move to Roma? They are a good team, so I would be happy to play there.

"I do not plan on leaving for the sake of it, though. I will leave if there is a good proposition for me and the club."

Twitter is saying we've had a bid accepted.

Now to wait patiently for QPR to come in and bid 10mil for him and offer 120k a week

 

If this happens I'm blaming you!

 

Going to agree with katmandu on this one. Nice and all to sign a player who could develop but it isn't actually helping our team any is it. This is the kind of signing you make when you're doing well in the league and consolidating not one when you've sold your top scorer and your captain/best cb wants out.

On a side note I generally don't believe any interview if they've been translated as the literal translation doesn't normally hold true. See HBA's quotes for an example.

 

If this is in any instead of the other signings we need, then I agree it is mad. If it is something we would have done even if all our targets immeidately signed, then it is a good move to secure a useful player for the future. The fact that the link arose about the same time a Remy was hijacked doesn't mean the two are connected.

 

As MattNUFC suggested to me, he may help the first team if we push Santon up and have an actual LB at LB... Would be interesting. Still wishing on a CB though!

 

I agree, however we all know that medieval Argentinian will get a place on the team sheet even if he isn't in the dressing room.

 

Unusual oxymoron there...

Argentina didn't have a medieval period as far as I know!

 

You're right there medieval is a European term, illustrates the backwards ways before the reneaissance

 

Definitely need some backup to Santon and someone who is an actual left back.

 

pre-Columbian is the usual term

 

I'm all for a left footed left back as people know. We must get a striker and centre back of course. Santon needs competition and is really a right back. The more the merrier basically. If Roma are interested, Newcastle or Rome? Its a tough one.....................

 

Forget competition for place we don't bother with that

 

Quality future players for the championship we will be like the championship version of arsenal

 

We do have competition for place its called eleven players regardless of their preferred position
