Naylor tweet regarding new striker....it's Sammy Ameobi!,,

[HP Seagull]

I'm not in anyone's gang.

Stephen Ward and Adam Clayton were verified by the Argus.

What was verified? That they had signed, or that they were "expected to sign"?

 

[Mellotron]

Whenever I've seen Sami Ameobi (OBE) I've been reminded of Bambi on Ice.

 

[El Presidente]

We need a wide player thou

We had a wide player in the shape of Kemy

 

[The Camel]

I've seen him play a lot as I live up in the North East and see Toon play quite a bit in the last 5 years.

He's a confidence player, who when on song is extremely skilful for a tall, gangly lad.

Will never be as prolific in front of his goal as his brother though and is pretty easily knocked off the ball.

I think he'd do well at Championship level in the right circumstances - but not as a main striker.

 

[BensGrandad]

I would assume that if we sign him they dont intend to use him as the lone striker so where does that put Baldock in the pecking order. Perahps another loan striker is being looked at as well as him.and him to take the Texieria role of last season.

 

[Albumen]

He's a mate of Kaz - maybe that's a pull (if KLL is still here by next season).

Not that I take this site too seriously, he's worth (according to this) £4.4m. Or free to us next week with some wages.

In the same league as Leon Best and Nile Ranger. No thanks if this is the quality of CH signings we are in for a hard season

wibble

Sorry I seem to have missed the part where the admin called a correct transfer and Naylor hasn't. We haven't even signed anyone yet, how can Naylor be 'behind'?

Because he scored an own goal.

 

[brightn'ove]

I might have to disagree with the majority on here TBH. He is EXACTLY the type of player we need, a quick, exciting and skillful winger. But definitely, definitely not a striker.

 

[OSRGull]

Sammy Ameobi? No thank you.

 

[Triggaaar]

Anything posted on here remains just that until it is verified by the Argus and, ultimately, the club.

Oh please. The Argus are in no position to verify anything.

Or free to us next week with some wages.

He wouldn't be free due to his age.

Left side of a front 3 would be ideal

Ah buggerit.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

So we are linked with a premiership player who is young and obviously has talent, and people are questioning if he is good enough before he has kicked a ball.

let is hope he is not reading this, jebus who on earth do we expect to sign.....

he is just the type of player we should be looking at.

 

[kevtherev]

Far more realistic than Zamora, Ward or Russell. Much more fitting with our policy of continuously weakening the squad.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

If we were talking about Wilbraham, or Church I could understand the negativity, but surely this would be a reasonable singing ?

 

[symyjym]

The first thing the club needs to ask him is "Does he think the Championship would be too tough for him to develop his football?" If he says no then it's a positive start to a negotiation.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

I wouldn't be too disappointed if we signed Ameobi, I'd prefer permanent rather than a loan.

 

[Albumen]

I can't see it being a loan. He's out of contract so if it's a loan it's either Newcastle give him a 2-3 year contract then send him out on loan again, or someone else buys him through compensation and then loans him to us at 23. Both sound unlikely to me.
