    Ahh yes, he's a beast.
    Good little LB, other than those their really just a big Championship team.
    A bit like a Middlesboro. :D

    That South-Korean winger for Bolton looked good before he got injured.
    Or maybe LB Olsson from Blackburn. But i think then would demand a high transfer fee.

    and depending if we let Harper and Forster leave we'll need a new goalkeeper aswell.

    Lee would be the top option if Bolton went down. Very useful and provided the injury has had no long term effect, well worth a dabble. Obviously we wouldn't be alone and I still think Owen Coyle might get them out of trouble

    Wouldn't wish any team to get relagated, but it would be useful if they did.

    Still think GK**,LB, CB** are the positions we need.

    Depending on if Harper and Forster leave for GK.
    Depending on if Colo goes. :(

    I think he has had a few issues with injuries but Marco Alonso looked a tidy left back for Bolton and could be another option

    That's also a good shout, probably would be cheaper than Izzaguire and Olsson.
    maybe George Elokobi from Wolves, bit of a tank.

    Wouldn't be keen on big George. Absolute beast but not a great footballer!

    He was okay a few seasons ago, didn't realise they'd shipped him out to Nottingham Forest.
    Other than that, i feel we need a quality LB so may have to search away from home.
    Maybe young Shane might become an excellent LB, even though i feel he is more suited to LW. :)

    Going forward he is quality although wait til he has to do some defending!! It's not often cos his team is by far the best in the division but there is a reason he is playing in the SPL and not the EPL

    Fergie will be a player don't worry. Next year, I think we will have (kind of) 3 new signings. Fergie, Vuckic and Abeid - next season will be their breakthroughs. Vuckic has looked v tidy in the first team this year, reckon he will be boss!

    Agree with 100%. We need to start involving Fergie more. Vuckic and Abeid will benefit from their loans. The lads I know who watch the reserves/academy reckon Remi Streete might surprise and start to come through by next year. They rate him highly. God knows we need more centre back options.

    With those players, Vuckic, Abeid and Ferguson coming through.
    Do you see a big number of players leaving?
    Tiote, Guthrie, Perch, Ben Arfa, Raylor, Lovenkrands for example.
    Whilst keeping Cabaye, Gutierrez, Obertan... ?
    Vuckic shot that hit the cross bar was amazing.

    I'd imagine Tiote will be a tricky one come the summer. The ante will probably get upped, just part and parcel of football. Get into Europe though and he might think twice. Realistically htough, yeah I see him going. Guthrie will be tricky too. He has kept very tight lipped but he is at an age where he must get some regular first team action. Hopefully he'll stay but I think Abeid and Vuckic should be ready to give Cabaye some cover. Benni will very much depend on whether Pardew gives him more game time. For all we know they may have already had a conversation suggesting this year as he feels his way back, he'll be used as an impact sub. We just don't know but I think there are signs from his body language he's fed up. Perch should go, as should Lovenkrands. I expect Santon to be moved over and a natural left back signed, which will likely see Simpson move on and Raylor retained.

    So i guess it depends, what bids we get for our players aswell.
    Also, which players want to leave if we don't get a Europe place.
    Want to see more deadwood out of Newcastle, as i think that their wages could maybe be used to improve the squad.
    Where's Kadar? Is he on loan?

    He's finished mate. Not on loan. Not in reserves. Not in first team.
