       Carlton Cole Is Plan 'B' For Magpies 24 Aug 2011 - 17:29:59
       Alan Pardew has placed West Ham striker Carlton Cole as 'Plan B'
       if the bid for Modibo Maiga falls through. Pardew insisted that
       the club are looking for at least two more players before the
       transfer window closes, with a striker and left-back topping
       their list.Maiga has continually said that he wants a move to
       Newcastle this summer, but Sochaux have refused to deal with the
       north-east club. The French side have gone so far as to report
       Newcastle to FIFA for illegally contacting the striker.And now
       Pardew has told the Evening Chronicle "I have a Plan B".Cole
       wouldn’t come cheap, with the 27-year-old demanding £50,000 a
       week in wages and £4.5 million plus add ons for a transfer fee.
       But he is somewhat cheaper than alternative target Niklas
       Bendtner, who is said to be worth £7 million, and Pardew is
       becoming more desperate to settle the situation before the
       window closes.

       No please not Carlton Cole why is it English players are double
       the price of good European ones.  Cole is rubbish he is a poor
       man's Ameobi and that's saying something

       I honestly think Bendtner would be better than both of them put
       together if he was given the chance to play regular football!!!

       very true.
       as much as he is maligned i have a bit of a soft spot for Shola?
       i know there is no place for sentiment in football but that
       bloke has never given us any funny business at all.

       That is very true Hagz, yeah maybe he ain't the most gifted
       player we have ever had, nor maybe the most explosive but he has
       been very loyal, never moaned when things ain't gone right for
       him and also our 2nd best scorer in Europe.  Not sure bout
       Bendtnar tho, time will tell, will be the same for any player we
       sign.
