The Newcastle Dream

Hi everyone.
I have decided to do a career with Newcastle, due to the fact that I was inspired by DEMBA!.

My targets for this Newcastle team will be to challenge for the Europa League, hopefully with some new faces we will be able to achieve this aim



This is just one of the formations that i will be testing. I want to see the partnership between Demba Ba and Papa Cisse Flourish, and with Ben Arfa in AM i hope this will make the team more attacking

Demba does well when he has good service, so it might be an idea to buy some better wingers to provide that service. Otherwise you seem to have a good team for the coming season.

Good Luck!!

Good Luck!!

Wingers are exactly what i need in this squad, we are very short of wingers. I am also looking at a defender, a left back, a striker and a cm

Injury News:

Demba Ba suffered strained knee ligaments, likely to be out for 7 weeks.

Really bad news to hear as he is one of my key players

Injury News:

Yohan Cabaye 4-5 months

Big Blow for us hopefully we can rally on without our key man

Antoine Griezmann who plays for Real Sociedad in Liga Adelante is an absolute god! He is way too good for the league he is in. However, even if you sign him and it doesn't work out, keep faith because he turns out to be an absolute legend!!
Good Luck

I was thinking about him, however as i am Newcastle he would most probably not want to come to me and also I do not have enough funds for him anyway

He would come, I signed him as Leicester. Buy him with monthly installments. I payed £100k up front and the rest over 48 months.

REALLY! I will see how things go and if he is needed i will get him

Pre-Season Results:

H V Newcastle Reserves - 5-3
Yohan Cabaye, Demba Ba(2), Leon Best(2)

A V Carlisle - 2-2
Ben Parker o.g, Leon Best

H V River Plate - 0-0

H V Werder Bremen - 2-2
Danny Guthrie, Shola Ameobi

A V Gateshead - 6-0
Yacine Brahimi(2), Nigel Ahmed o.g, Pil Airey, Peter Lovenkrands, Ryan McGorrigan

H V Espanyol - 0-1

A V Arbroath - 1-1
Gabriel Obertan


H V Udinese - 3-2
Gabriel Obertan, Rasmus Elm, Rafael Toloi



Mixed feelings about pre-seasons. I would of hoped for better results against teams like Carlisle, but then again i was pleased with the 3-2 win against Udinese.

Transfers


I decided to spend most of my transfer budget. I was delighted to welcome Rasmus Elm to the club, especially as teams such as Bayern Munich were linked with this man.
Erick Torres will also complete his move to Newcastle I am currently waiting on a work permit

Rasmus Elm is a great signing mate! He's gonna do big things! Lacuna Traore meant to be a great prospect as well. I'm trying to sign him for Leicester at the mo but Kubam want £16mil !! Keep going!

I know I was completely surprised and delighted that i managed to get him, and a brought Lacina because i believe that he wont go to the African Cup Of Nations and as Demba Ba and Papa Cisse will be going hopefully Lacina will get his chance then

Barclays Premier League - 13 Aug 2011:

Formation - 4-2-4

Line Up:
Krul (GK)
Ryan Taylor(FB)Steven Taylor(CB)Fabricio Colonccini(CB)David Santon (FB)
Cheick Tiote(BWM)Rasmus Elm (AP)
Gabriel Obertan(W)Jonas Gutierrez(W)
Lacina Traore(TM)
Papa Cisse(DLF)





Summary: Poor start to the season, we didn't seem confident when it came to attacking and defending, but all credit to Wolves as they completely dominated the game.

Barclays Premier League - 20 Aug 2011:

Formation: 4-1-3-2

Line Up:
Tim Krul(GK)
Danny Simpson(FB)Rafael Toloi(CB)Fabrico Coloccini(CB)Cheik M'Bengue(FB)
Cheick Tiote(BWM)
Yacine Brahimi(W)Hatem Ben Arfa(AP)Jonas Gutierrez(W)
Lacina Traore(TM)Papiss Cisse(DLP)





Summary: What a game it was really end to end stuff. However very disappointed that we let a 2 goal advantage slip. Ben Arfa was by far the best player for Newcastle in this game his movement was fantastic.
Next up League 2 team Bristol Rovers travel to St James Park for the Carling Cup
