13xForever Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 since Mike Ashley is the Banker from DOND ive been looking for players that aint too pricey and can maybe use once in Prem. Thomas Kristensen/MC/1mill - Transfer listed and they only want 875k for him. his stats are well good for a championship side. Iban Zubiaurre/RB/625k - Transfer listed again only 500k not amazing but good for championship cover Benjani/ST/1.7M - Transfer listed and they want 1.7m he aint the best finisher but hes got 20 team work 20 work rate Sol Campbell/DC/Free - An old dog but still got the right stats for cover Dos Santos/MC.AMC.FC/Loan - this kids well good if you can get him on loan can play anywhere top half of the pitch these are pretty obvious changing the filters around but thoght i would post anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmycookie88 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I let Butt and Geremi go, mutual termination. Needed their wages. Geremi is now playing for Celtic and Butt is at Burnley. I've been lucky with my loans, got Macheda, Wilshire, Gosling, Merida. And they have been playing most games with Macheda scoring for fun. He is the only stricker that has scored, though? Well I suppose he is playing with Ameobi or Smolarek who is doing rubbish! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

berrysi Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I'm loving the challenge Newcastle brings with no money to spend, big wage earners and the high expectations, reckon I went tad overboard on the loan signings mind (loads of young guys from Prem clubs), so far Gosling and Vokes look like the better/more useful additions, Jonas out on loan to Lyon has give some room to move in wage department, allowing me to sign a few free agents, Henri Camara being one that impressed in pre-season matches when on trial. Oh and also just got Levan Kenia from Man U on loan, he just signed for them in £9.75m deal, might prove handy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Smith Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 What did you do to get rid of Geremi ? nobody ever comes in for him even when I ask for £0 No clubs will bid for him as he's on high wages. But the decent thing about him (can't believe I'm saying this ) is that he will willing accept lower wages. Keep lowering his wages before you transfer-list him. Did the same for Butt but no clubs truly wants him in this case. Will cost me a cool 300k+ in the next few days to release him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Smith Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 It's true, hard to offer lower wages now. Can't do that for Barton, Smith, Nolan and Jonas. Realistic in a way.

ChrisNUFC Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 My bad confused with Jimenez. Who's the guy that left us in the summer? Was a scout I think. Calling out the researcher when you don't even know what your complaining about, classic! It was Lil Fullicio, who left to join Swansea as Chief Scout, which is in the game, so I'd say that was pretty good researching... but I'll let you off this time. In the future though, if you have any data issues, use the Newcastle Data Issues thread in the Data Issues forum. Saying that, I'm currently checking to make sure Vetere is still at the club as the court release in regards to Keegan suggested he had left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
