Liverpool game today. No chance I'm wearing any other club's kit.

Besides, magpie is too busy being pissed off at the first snow of the season... though I tend think it's the perfect birthday gift (if it ever snowed on my birthday around here I'd be ecstatic).

Well it never snows over here Sad

I'm hearing that Steven Taylor will miss the remainder of the season. pale

That's very bad news, if true. The stability in Newcastle's back four has been one of the key factors in their success this year. I've not been convinced by Perch's performances, either. Any chance you will be adding a CB to your wish list for January?

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun Dec 04, 2011 4:00 pm

We are going to have to.......

This is the likely defence for Norwich next week......

Santon Simpson Perch R.Taylor.

With Williamson not back for a couple of weeks, Coloccini also out for a fortnight( rumoured).

We are going to need to sign a CB and possibly a fullback aswell.

I just hope this does'nt totally destroy our season.

Unlucky on S Taylor.

Wrong Taylor, it's should be Ryan Sad

Alan Pardew is preparing a double defensive swoop in January to patch up his Newcastle side's injury-ravaged back line.

The Magpies could buy TWO new defenders next month – with Montpellier skipper Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa and PSV Eindhoven’s Erik Pieters high on the list – after being badly exposed on Saturday against Chelsea.

Steven Taylor had an Achilles operation yesterday, ruling him out for most of the season, while skipper Fabricio Coloccini could miss a month with a thigh strain.

In addition, the Magpies’ third-choice centre-back, Mike Williamson, won’t be back before Christmas after suffering a broken arm and an ankle problem.

That leaves James Perch and Danny Simpson as the likely centre-back pairing for next weekend’s trip to Norwich, with Italy Under-21 international Davide Santon in line to play at right-back.

Pardew is busily patching a small squad that's being ripped apart by injuries, but has ordered his fit players to show some defiance.

“The injuries are our biggest concern now," he said. "We’ve had a brilliant season so far, but injuries are going to come our way and you have to cope with it.

“We’re coming into games now [that] we know are winnable, and could let us back into that top four.

“But at some point in the season you’re going to get into difficult situations and it looks like we’re in a difficult one – but the spirit of the group will remain strong as we go to the next game.

“I was pleased with James Perch [against Chelsea] because he came on in a really intense game against a top player, and although he started shaky he got better as the game went on and that was pleasing.

“We’ve been a bit unlucky in these three games, we’ve not had our best squad to pick from, yet my team are competitive.”

Steven Taylor told of the “weird feeling” he experienced when his Achilles popped.

“I’m absolutely devastated,” he said. “I’m just focused on working hard and getting back after the operation. I’ve just got to get myself fit.

“I thought someone had kicked me, but when I turned around there was no one there.

"It felt so weird. I didn’t know what was going on.”

I hope to f*ck this is true, because we damn sure need some defensive depth.......

Tbh its the managements fault for not realising this before the season started we had 3 CB's in the whole squad ( one of which was injured until Xmas) the fact we have played the same 2 CB's with no injuries until now was nothing short of a miracle.....

Heres hoping we can through the month ahead relatively unscathed and hope Coloccini and Williamson are back fit and some additions are made.

Good news

Coloccini will definitely play against Swansea and Tiote has a very good chance of starting aswell

Williamson will make his comeback against Bolton Reserves tonight and depending on how he does he might also play against Swansea but its more likely he will comeback against West Brom the following week.

Also according to rumors in France, Modibo Maiga will fly to England this week for a medical with a view to completing his transfer when window opens in January.

Maiga

Signing African player in January when he has to go AFCON Suspect

do you need starter for that position?
IS he better than Ba or offers something different?

Offers something different and plus we needed depth anyway......

Ba, Best and Ameobi isnt the greatest selection in the world, i do agree tho i dont understand the logic by signing another african player......

Newcastle are reportedly interested in signing Taye Taiwo

Yh they will be, aswell as Williamson..... It sounds like Williamson and Tiote are more likely to be on the bench than start against Swansea but Coloccini seems like he will start.

All 3 took a full part in training.

Also..... Newcastle set to sign the next Samir Nasri, 15 yr-old Sofiane Elbekri of Lens, say L'Equipe, who also claim #NUFC back in for Aly Cissokho
