Controversial.
If Sunderland get a bit closer Newcastle will bottle it.

I think (hope) they will bottle it, 8th would be about right. They have bought some really good players in, many of which have taken me by suprise. I don't want to see them do a Tottenham.

When I started this I knew Newcastle had potential to do very well this season but the recent form of Ben Arfa added to the signing Cisse really gives them a chance for 4th IMO, I think it will come down to psychology and belief for them, they definitely have enough quality.

Yea. It'll be an interesting battle.

Rami and Cabaye will have a word with him, both clubs have done deal with Lille last summer, and I don't think wages offered by each club will be that different.

Will come down to his ex-mates by the look of things, Valencia may offer a better deal to Lille if they sell Alba to Barca though.

I placed a £20 wager at the bookies before season kicked off, Newcastle to finish in top 4, at odds of 100-1..  Hoping to have 2 Grand next May and a nice little trip to NYC out of it, if not well it's only £20 down the plug hole, and a bit of excitement.

Their performance  this season has been exceptional. Its also the biggest indictment of our failings. In every regard, they have outdone us, in scouting, especially for forwards, in cohesion, in consistency. That we funded their spending more or less to a greater or lesser degree adds a touch of humiliation to it. As it stands, it should give everyone at the club pause for thought.

Cisse was the kind of player we should have been bringing in.

Toon fans, c*nts that they are now after that classless display last week, should enjoy their current position. They may even finish 5th with Chelsea being distracted by the CL and the inevitability of their good run ending, but it won't last - next year they'll be shit again and I look forward to taking six points off them.

Until last Saturday I really would have said good on them and good luck but nah, us unemployed nobheads know our place.

I voted Europa league spot, and I congratulate them on that because they have done really well this season.

My advice to them would be enjoy it, because unfortunately for them, Mike Ashley is a complete and utter c*nt and their team will be starting from scratch next season.

That's true, but we can get goals from elsewhere which Arsenal can't. Tomorrow is a tough game for us obviously, but if we can get through that I still think we're good for 3rd. To finish outside the top 4 now would be a complete disaster given where we were a couple of months ago

Super scout Graham Carr lifts lid on Newcastle United’s transfer process

By ROSS GREGORY
Published on Tuesday 3 April 2012 10:50


SUPER SIGNINGS ... Yohan Cabaye, Papiss Demba Cisse and Cheik Tiote were brought to Newcastle on the recommendations of Graham Carr.

SUPER scout Graham Carr has revealed he had been watching Papiss Demba Cisse for five years before helping bring the strike star to Newcastle.

Cisse has been a revelation on Tyneside since his January move from German side Freiburg.

The Senegal striker bagged a brace against Liverpool at the weekend to take his tally to seven goals in seven games to help propel United to the brink of a return to Europe.

Chief scout Carr has been hugely responsible for Newcastle’s great season, helping to recruit Yohan Cabaye, Demba Ba, Cisse, Cheik Tiote and Sylvain Marveaux for modest fees in the last couple of years.

And he revealed he first spotted Cisse playing for French side Metz while he was scouting for Manchester City under Sven-Goran Eriksson back in 2007.

He said: “I saw Papiss Cisse play for Metz when he first came over from Senegal.

“Metz have sort of a school, and they take quite a lot of Senegalese players, but he didn’t have a passport at the time. I was working for Manchester City at the time, but he didn’t have a passport to come into the UK. So that ruled him out.”

Carr kept a watching brief on Cisse’s progress, first at Metz and then Freiburg, as part of the dozens of matches he watches on the continent each month.

That hard work and commitment has helped United land a number of players for cut-price fees, though Carr was quick to give credit to boss Alan Pardew, managing director Derek Llambias and secretary Lee Charnley for completing the deals.

He added: “Cisse scored 20-odd goals two years ago in the Bundesliga. He was liked by Bayern Munich, They wanted £15m when we first enquired, and then it was 12, and we actually got him for eight in the last window which we thought was value for money.

“At Newcastle, we haven’t been able to pay the big fees, so we’ve gone for what you might call realistic targets.

“But I just go and watch matches. I go and pick up three matches in Holland, three in France over the weekend, or midweek, or in Germany, and I get a list of names together, sit down with the manager, Derek Llambias and Lee Charnley and our staff and we discuss them.

“Then, if we think we want to sign one, then Lee Charnley goes and gets a price for him.

“I’ve been doing the job for 14 years. I was at Tottenham for five years, chief scout at Manchester City for seven, and I’ve been mostly in Europe as well, so I’ve been been “on the job” for quite a long time.

“So it’s just those players that came along. Cheik Tiote was available at the right price, at the right time. Hatem Ben Arfa had played in the national side for France, we got him on loan. Then we’ve had Cabaye and Cisse come in, and Sylvain Marveaux who hasn’t played yet.

“I think Alan Pardew’s done a great job because he’s actually organised the side into a winning side.

“Tiote has improved. Hatem Ben Arfa, he was a little bit temperamental in France, but I think Pardew’s putting an arm around him now and has got him playing to his true capabilities.

“Yohan Cabaye had a get-out clause in his contract, which was a major signing for us. He was valued at £10m, but we found out he had a clause for £4.5m, so that really gave us the green light to go out and sign him and the club worked hard, actually, to get him.

“The club have got to take a lot of credit. Derek Llambias, who works hard, Mike Ashley – they’ve put the money there, they’ve took the necessary stick from the supporters.

“On the outside looking in, I was a bit, you know, what’s happened at Newcastle in the past. But since I’ve been in there working for them, I can’t speak too highly of them.”
