Wings 0 Posted June 18, 2008 Absolutely incredible. It seems as if we''re about to pull of a signing that wiill rank amongst the most expensive in the clubs history at a time when we''re considered broke. If true and if he can keep fit then this will rank up there with the signings of Ashton and Earnie, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Fish Seller 0 Posted June 18, 2008 [quote user="Paint Me Yellow"][quote]Plenty of managers have rated him good enough to keep in a Premiership set up[/quote]Thats the thing I can''t get my head around. Why hasn''t a prem club come forward?And considering our finish last season (not entirely Glens fault I know) why would a player apparently worthy of the prem join us? Can it really be purely because of who our manager is?[/quote]I can only think that the Premiership Clubs are doing any scouting for strikers by watching the gogglebox. I''d wager any striker who scores three or more goals in the Euros is likely to be made an offer by at least one Prem Club. They do have a tendency to "discover" new talent by watching Internationals and African Cup matches.As for point two. Posibly, just possibly GR would have made him aware of a plan tosubstantially rebuild the team and has offered SA a prominent part in his plans? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.B.C 0 Posted June 18, 2008 Say we got Shola for 3.5 million. Would you rather have him and Ched on loan for a year. Or Ched full time. Or David Nugent? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings 0 Posted June 18, 2008 I genuinely don''t believe that Ched would be available for less than £5mil. I do think that he is and will be available on loan. And I don''t mind saying that a Ched - Shola strike force is quite an exciting prospect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ca 1 Posted June 18, 2008 Daily Mail tonight claim that Ameobi is ''on the verge'' of joining City. Could the saga be over?"Norwich are on the verge of signing Newcastle forward Shola Ameobi in a deal that could ultimately be worth £3.5million," the Mail claimed. "The former England U21 striker has knocked back moves to Ipswich and Stoke this summer but is keen to link up with his former St James’ Park manager Glenn Roeder, who is believed to have persuaded his board to find the finance for the deal." Sorry its underlined couldn''t get rid of the lines [:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Monkey 52 Posted June 18, 2008 I know there was a lot of noise about the supposed Ipshit bid, but there''s a lot of rumblings now appearing about this move with pretty much all of them suggesting its a done deal... starting to get a little bit excited now, eep... hope we''re not paying as much as quoted though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wembley_Canary 0 Posted June 19, 2008 Surely Roeder isn''t crazy enough to spend 3.5m on a player like Ameobi!Here''s the not so great side of the Newcastle No.9http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJG3boMpY_M On the other hand though I would be pleased to see the board are showing abit of ambition for a change but 3.5m is 2.5m too much IMO.

Yes, these things can happen, but if it were an agent trying to stir interest rather than us actually interested he would have said we have put in a bid or had a bid accepted.
