    Newcastle manager Alan Pardew hopes to sign at least one more 'big player' in the transfer window.

    The St James' Park boss has already brought in Demba Ba, Sylvain Marveaux, Yohan Cabaye and Mehdi Abeid this summer, but he remains keen to continue to remodel the squad he inherited from Chris Hughton.

    A replacement for unsettled full-back Jose Enrique, who has one year left on his contract and wants to leave, is a possibility, especially after the Spaniard's Twitter rant on Sunday night while the club is on a pre-season tour of America.

    Pardew is also known to want another striker and has been chasing Paris Saint Germain's Mevlut Erding for the majority of the summer.

    Newcastle's manager does not want to be left short of options when the transfer window closes at the end of August, which particularly applies to Enrique's situation, and he is optimistic about signing cover.
    Business

    Asked about Enrique, Pardew told The Journal: "As a manager, of course I want him to stay. The worst thing for us would be if he went late, that's the problem.

    "We are trying to do some business because we need to cover ourselves in that area between now and the end of the window regardless of Enrique.

    "I am confident well get at least one, and maybe two, big players in here."

    Midfielder Joey Barton was linked with Manchester United over the weekend, but the former Manchester City man is determined to stay with Newcastle, despite failing to agree an extension to the remaining 12 months of his contract.

    Pardew said: "I think Joey will be here. He has said all along that he wants to stay and I want him to stay, so there is no conflict there."

    A new striker and Barton offered a contract that he signs, would be brilliant.

    Agreed!

    Erdinc, M'Bengue and a surprise sensational swoop for a top class international striker. Here's hoping for the latter! <ok>

    Well I want my own private island, £100billion in the bank and a Harem with 20 stunning (and naked) Virgins to have fun si I reckon my chances are greater at the moment. I'm getting fed up with the 'we're going to do this and that' headlines. Just get on and do it THEN get the publicity for it.

    This seems like a good way of attempting to divert attention away from Enrique's comments...

    Hopefully it'll be Erdinc and Menez (if anyone at all!)
