    Newcastle are ready to make a bid for the £2m-rated Watford centre-half Adrian Mariappa.

    Alan Pardew wants to add another defender to his squad before the transfer window closes following the season-long injury to Steven Taylor. He has identified the 25-year-old as a player who can make the step up from the Championship as Newcastle push for a European place. Mariappa has signed a contract extension at Watford until next year, but Newcastle believe the allure of the Premier League will tempt him to leave.

    Papiss Cissé has arrived for £8m and if Newcastle can land Mariappa, that should be the end of their January spending. The club have been linked to Ajax defender Jan Vertonghen, but any move is more likely in the summer.

    Hopefully this turns out to be bullshit. Would much rather take Tomkins

    He's rubbish. I'd much rather have Tomkins.

    TBH, Perch is probably better...

    Tomkins is absolute ****e anyway, this bloke is even worse from what I've seen. We need better and we need a starter not back up.

    We dont need a starter, we need a player who can cover Colo. This guy doesnt sound good enough.

    We need another Saylor/Coloccini certainly not another Willo/Perch... Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, Ashley Williams or Jan Vertonghen please.

    This, but he's more suited to a Willo style of defence.

    The guy is an average Championship player at best, in a team that is waiting to get relegated to League One.

    Mark Douglas , who's normally very reliable , saying that Mariappa deal to be sealed by next week.

    Some guy on twitter who claims to be "in the know" thinks that we're close to signing some Brazilian defender called Douglas.
