Its a good tactic. The players they signed are all young with fantastic potential, yet they are paying very reasonable fees. If the players were english they would be forking out twice or more the amount.

At least Newcastle is attempting to fix their problems. Think they will lack one good striker/winger, but when Cabaye is fully fit with Ben Arfa back they will easily finish in top 10.

Think its more that Mike Ashley has found out how to make money from a prem club. Can see Newcastle being a revolving door for next couple of years.

With you on that doc.

All he has to do is stay up this year.

if it's diame or nobody this transfer window, i'd take him, but fuk me what an underwhelming signing.

On the bench vs us - must mean something yeah?!

His goal versus us at Upton Park was a really beauty.

Thats the only opinion I have of him.

Would round out our options in midfield.

Throw him in the bag.

He'd make an excellent player off the bench when we need to close out a game.

Yeah, he could be useful in keeping the ball in the attacking third.

He did, however, have the highest number of tackles in the league during the christmas stat round up on skysports.

I have never watched the guy properly but noticed his strength when brushing off Jack's challenge on the edge of our box.

Thats openly their plan for the club.

Its secretly Wenger and Co's plan for our club.
