Persuaded to stay one more year by Pardew, he can bank a few more million and then go for nothing back to San Lorenzo?
Would be a good signing but just can't see it.
He wanted to play for his youth club and they had money to spend last summer. Newcastle wouldn't sell him cause of all the injuries so the club brought in someone else. So they no longer have the money or the open spot for him so the move is no longer a possibility.
I would like to see us sign 2 CB's. 1 veteran and 1 youth. Lescott is off in the summer so we'll need to replace him. Would be good to get a younger guy in now, get his feet wet in some cup games and get him acclimated to the PL so that next season he'll be ready to play "real" games. Demichelis seems like a good choice since he knows MP's system, but I've not really seen him so no clue if he's the goods or not. WOuld like to see us grab Eder Álvarez Balanta a Colombian national from River Plate. 20 year old lefty who's considered a real talent. Not much experience but could be another dimond in the rough like Nasty.

Aren't you forgetting our own 18-year-old lefty who's considered a real talent and could save us millions? :)

yeah but....isn't he on loan for the season and hence unable to save us a few millions right now?

Yeah, but the poster said to sign 1 experienced and 1 young central defender. Signing the young central defender would be pointless if Rekik is going to be something. Sign the experienced defender by all means but don't block the path of Rekik in favour of a kid who hasn't played outside of South America yet. Boyata (or Micah) can be the 5th choice central defender this year after we add an experienced CB.

Mangala would be good.

We have to trust them or replace them if we don't, instead of buying more players.
Richards has done his hamstring so he is not around to cover

Sadly, Micah is still glass...
