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.
