Know Pardew has a policy but probably changed this a little now we only have Cisse and Ameobi. needs a goalscorer with prem experience seems to fit that mould slightly

We need a rock solid reliable goal scorer & creative assist maker. That means splashing the cash – which Ashley will do for the right player – means an experienced (not necessarily older) player and a person without baggage who can fit in with a team and graft out results. Aliadiere doesn’t fit any of those criteria. He’s been around a long time without ever really achieving anything substantial. Bit of a lazy article that takes a vague comment and tries to turn it into a story, but this time the journalist got the actual player wrong – succumbed to the Lorient manager’s smoke and mirrors – go back and get the correct player NUFC are interested in and you might get a story worth reading! (Though I don’t think anything will come of that either.)

Usual rubbish from this site. He’s 29 so how can he ‘match his (Pardew’s) list of requirements’ when club policy is not to buy players over 26 (yes I know Debuchy is 27, but he wasn’t when we tried to get him in the summer!)
