Riaz Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 http://www.dailymail...hefki-Kuqi.html This would be like us selling Nicky Maynard and signing me as his replacement.... I can see why they are doing it - his wages will be peanuts for a prem team and I suspect they will still be looking for a better forward on loan.

'Orns Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I can see why they are doing it - his wages will be peanuts for a prem team and I suspect they will still be looking for a better forward on loan. Pretty certain that Prem clubs can't loan in (only out) outside of the summer and winter windows? So they were left with out of contract players only - not a good list to be picking from!

Monkeh Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 The signing makes perfect sence to me to be honest, A. The carrol deal didn't go through until 23:45 so Newcastle had no time to sign a replacement, B. Prem clubs can't sign loan or perm signings outside the transfer window but can sign free agents C. of all the strikers (good and bad) out the Kuqi is one of the few who is actually match fit D. ????????? E. Profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocketscrot Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Why would you waste your money on it? why not put on a youngester or worse just play one of thier midfielders up front if they suffer from injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRobins666 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Oh dear. You know that the Newcastle management has gone insane when they: Sack Chris Hughton Sell fan favourite Andy Carroll Get Shefki Kuqi as a replacement, an aging man that was "the one that did the stupid swallow dives" in Blackburn. Get raped by a League 2 club 3-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Orns Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 hence why they signed Kuqi which was kind of my point....! They can't look for anyone to loan, because they can't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Peacock Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 "Shefki is a good, honest pro who will give us a strong physical presence from the bench." I think that is a mis-print, they mean ON the bench, not FROM the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
