Some of these players I personally had not heard of before we were linked to them; and that comes from a lack of knowledge about Ligue 1, but my initial reaction when we signed Haidara was 'Who?' It is good that we are bringing in players and players still want to join Newcastle. I'd just personally like to see more money invested into the English leagues and bringing in young players that way and/or older players already in the Prem that know what they're doing and won't have to adjust to the pace.

Really? Look at the fee's we're paying, Sissoko signing soon for £2m. Where can you get value like that in England? Just look at the Zaha transfer or any business Liverpool do to sum that up.

Who could we have bought for these prices with Prem experience that are equal quality? English players, especially youngsters are garbage with over inflated price tags.

So, apparently we've put in a bid of £1.2 million for Kei Kamamra from the Sporting Kansas "roster". His goalscoring record isn't great and that's without taking into consideration that he plays in the MLS. Seems a bit of a cheap punt in all honesty.

There are also rumours of us being interested in Jamie Mackie. I can't see how he would improve the squad at all.

I hope that we actually end up taking this window seriously instead of pissing about with joke offers such as £3 million for Gary Hooper, Celtic are never going to sell him for that amount. There's negotiation skills then there's taking the piss.

This reminds me of the dark old days when are previous cheif executive Neil Doncaster offered £300K to Luton for Steve Howard when they wanted £700K. We faffed about like twats until Derby swooped in with a £1 million offer. They got promoted that season with Howard bagging 16 league goals while we signed Chris Brown (not the one who hit Rihanna) for that same touted £300K sum. "Sex tape" ended up scoring one goal for Norwich

Wish we would have shown some bollocks and just told Swansea to name their price for Danny Graham. He would be ideal for us and isn't a risk due to the fact that we know that he can perform at this level.

GOOD GUY Fergie jacking up the transfer price to help out lower league clubs, should be knighted again for his services to English football

Everything I've read other than Goal says £15m, in modern measurements coming in at under half a Carrol, three-quarters of a Downing and a spectacular less than a third of a Torres.

Let's be honest, if he steps into the first team next year and does was he was signed to do, £15m is a bargain. If he flops, it's a massive expense for nothing. The £10-15m bracket these days is barely a big transfer for a top club, sadly enough.

Even Swansea's first XI yesterday and their stadium cost less than Torres

Don't buy into the British transfer policy we stocked up on Carroll, Henderson,Downing & Allen & look at all the good it's done us lol

That guy has gotten linked to probably every club in the premiership since 2009. Surprised we haven't been linked with him this window yet.
