pieters looks like a none starter according to SSN

Exactly, pointless waste of an article from SSN really.

 

Erik Pieters has asked for as much as 32k a week... Ashley and Lambias are disgusted and would rather have us struggle than pay a just under average Premier League wage. Expect Stephen Warnock after Sunderland... 1.5 million fee and 24k a week.

Clichéd and almost patronising, Geordie's are traditionally no nonsense personality's and don't do excuses.

Get a grip Pardew.

 

Not that i see any real chance of it, but i hope this is just down to trying to do a deal for Cissokho. I think one of the two will come in before the window shuts, althoguh i just wish it was sooner rather than later.
