Can't believe you didn't include the last Cisse we signed from the French league, where he had been banging them in, in that list

Well Newcastle seem to have a good record of doing this lately. If you listen to people who have watched him they all seem to be speaking highly of him. His goal scoring record in the Bundesliga is very good. At £7.5m it is relatively low risk.

I hate the January transfer window. You just know we'll all have to watch the SSN transfer gimp on the final night counting down the minutes as we hope beyond hope we end up with some quality but have our spirits crushed ultimately.

Who would be the main man behind the Tiote, Cabaye, Cisse deals for Newcastle?

It's hardly Pardew that's scouting these players.

Graham Carr, father of Alan.

Settle down for Bob Paisley.

Are people just frustrated we haven't signed a striker yet, so now just want someone, anyone.

Al, i haven't mentioned his name, but i thought he would be free in the summer, Basically, Newcastle have shown their balls here. Why isn't Camolli doing doing this??

He's 3 years younger and has averaged better than a goal every 2 games for a pretty poor side, as well as being a better all round footballer.

Probably be on less wages too.

He was on €8k per week at Freiburg... got himself a nice wage packet now I can imagine.

If he plays alongside Ba, then Newcastle have themselves a very potent attacking force. And with Cabeye in midfield, they have the ideal man to supply the chances.

OPR, he is not off the radar. Cisse was expected to move from Freiburg in tre summer. They agreed with that with him. Newcastle have come from nowhere to sign him. Fair play to the them! No arguements!!

But the what f*ck is Camolli doing??

[Nuri Sahin]

I mentioned Papiss Cisse as one we should target during the summer, and I vaguely remember doing likewise sometime pre-Xmas. Brilliant bit of business by Newcastle, kudos to them. Zero doubts the lad will be a success at the Toon. Himself and Ba is a quite scary partnership on paper.

[YouTookMyName]

This is interesting. It's for 2010/11.



Obv, reading to much into it is torture, but it does give us an idea of how much we're missing someone clinical when Kuyt's our best on the goals to shots.

[Grayditch]

Newcastle seem to be getting it very, very right with transfers.
