Hi folks

not put anything on here for a while but then there hasn't really been a lot to write about. however I just thought i'd see where people stand on this. Now that we have Siem De Jong can anyone see us attempting a cut price deal for his brother. I know he was pretty useless but with a pre season under him with the squad, his brother and so far krul and anita both still with us maybe he will settle and we can get some sort of form out of him. after all he has been a good player maybe just a confidence thing. considering we are light on strikers maybe having him in the squad as shola replacement wouldn't be bad. I don't know let's say 3 million tops. would you take it?

No thanks, Luuk's going to PSV I think. We need to go for the likes of aubameyang/lacazette/valencia

Yeah I would take him for that price.
He didn't look great the twelve or so games he played & like you say it could of been down to confidence and it also takes some lads time to adjust to the epl!
Pretty much the whole team( bar remy) were shocking towards the end of the season so I find it hard to really judge the kid playing in a team which was merely going through the motions!
A full pre-season under his belt along with the incentive of playing with his brother every week we could very well see a different(better hopefully) player!

If we got to put in squad then we wouldn't be so short and Ashley wouldn't pay out for another two strikers. so no don't go there

PFM: agree, Luuk's a good technical player going through a bad spell. Needs to be playing regularly and building confidence through pre-season. I would take him on a season loan with option, and give him as much game time as poss.

LDJ like Cisse is no good at Newcastle
Bony was the man Needed or a striker in the mode of Shearer not a bit player without body strength and flair
Perez will come through as will Armstrong but a quality striker is needed now as is a quality CB
