8mil for Aly Cissokho?! Yes, please.

I'm sure if Houllier was in charge we would of signed him in the summer..... rumours a deal was struck also for Ba and Cabaye

Other than the having any money and needing to balance the wage bill I can't think of any reason why that wouldn't have happened.

We wouldn't have paid off Houllier,or the blues for Mccleish. Houllier would've shifted a few out,and anyway,those two hardly cost Newcastle the earth.

Was anyone aware that we were linked to this player - Armin Bacinovic :-
Apparently we have missed out on him.

IIRC Ba was free & Cabaye was less than £7m

Both are already off to Liverpool knowing the shitty newspapers *rollseyes*

Just heard something really stupid so thought I would share it with you all...  someone on twitter has been saying that Robbie Keane will be signing until May 10th and that Beye will be cancelling loan deal with Doncaster and joining Strasborg on a 3 yr deal lol!
cant see any of that happening but would love it if the latter did come true.

Would it be too much to hope in this dream scenario that we will be getting some cash put our way for young Habib?

At his age and with 6 months left I'd doubt it'd anything worth worrying about.  However, if true and we're £40k lighter on the wagebill that may allow AM some room to bring in another player this window.

Please dont say things like this as it gets me depressed thinking that we could have had Ba and Cabaye but ended up with Hutton and Jenas :-(

Im already depressed in January

My Newcastle supporting mate is under the impression that Cabaye cost only £4m, because that was the size of his release clause in his Lille contract.

Newcastle are now apparently looking seriously at four more players from France.

I read Graham Carr is their main scout in France and has been responsible for those coming over.

Cabaye cost £4.7m and Ba was free.

Do you think we paid for N'Zogbia's £10m transfer fee and his monthly salary with sweets and IOUs?
