Newcastle Transfers: Predicting Alan Pardew’s 5 August Transfers

unexplainable appointment of Joe Kinnear as Director of Football and then months of no transfer activity followed. The start of August brought renewed hope though as Kinnear finally got his first player over the line. Loic Remy joined on a season long loan from QPR. Hardly cause to throw a party but certainly cause to breathe a sigh of relief, they had a man through the door! Despite this though, work is far from done on Tyneside the departures of Demba Ba, James Perch, Danny Simpson and Steve Harper in the last year have still left the squad awfully bare. With negotiations apparently still ongoing behind the scenes and Pardew stating earlier this week that they still hope to sign one or two more players it could be an exciting or disappointing month for Newcastle United. Last season's 16th place finish simply wasn't good enough and no one doubts signings are needed to make sure that there is no repeat performance of last seasons relegation scrap. Here we will try and predict five players that could join Newcastle before the window slams shut.
