Alan Pardew, Newcastle United
Just one or two players, says Pardew
It seems that Newcastle United will be limited to one or two player acquisitions during the January 2011 transfer window.

Alan Pardew states that:

“We are probably only looking at bringing one player in. Maybe we’ll bring in two – but it definitely won’t be more than two.

“Whether it is a loan or a permanent move really depends on the negotiations and the type of player we manage to get. If we manage to get our No 1 target it will affect another deal we might have been working on.

“But we’re not going to throw money at this window. We’ve made that clear to agents, players and clubs, and I think Newcastle fans will appreciate that.

“We’re going to try and do things in a way that will protect the squad we’ve got – if we don’t do that we’ve got all sorts of problems.”

As to who those players will be, Pardew has shown interest in Roque Santa Cruz, David Bentley, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Seb Larsson to date. (more…)
