A new name linked with the right-back spot
It’s not a name we’ve been linked with before, and as the attention has been put on names such as Nathaniel Clyne and Mathieu Debuchy, as well as Danny Simpson and his contract wrangle, I think it’s only fair to have a look at what the Venezuelan could offer NUFC.
According to said reports, Rosales could be available for as little as £3 million, and at that price and age you would have to think we’ve at least had a look at him as he fits neatly into the current Newcastle United transfer blueprint.
So what do we know about Rosales then? Apart from the fact he is 23, plays for FC Twente and represents Venezuela, can we gather any more information on him?
Previously he played for his hometown club in Caracas although he only made two appearances before being snapped up Belgian side AA Gent. He spent three seasons in Belgium making 82 appearances and scoring five goals before being picked up by FC Twente. He’s now played 84 times for the Enschede club and is the first Venezualan player to score in the Champions League.
He likes to get forward and can combine pace, technique and physical strength whilst retaining the ability to defend all at the same time. This video, albeit a brief one, shows kind of what I mean.
For £3 million I don’t think you can go far wrong and it’s pretty much a risk free transfer. The transfer fee is fairly reasonable and his wage demands won’t be extortionate so I can see why the club are said to be taking a look at him.
On the other hand it just adds to the list of right-backs we’ve been linked with, and surely we’ll see one of them arrive at the club over the summer, regardless of what happens with Danny Simpson. The only two questions now are, which right-back will it be, and which one would you prefer from the ones we’ve been linked with?
Rosales, Clyne or Debuchy?

Don’t know owt about Rosales, so I’d prefer Debuchy as he’s a bit more versatile, than Clyne but would like them both
I agree with richie.
1. Debuchy
2. Clyne
3. Rosales
ok RICHIE hope its good news mate.
well you know which way it will go with jabba,the cheapest way simples
*then Cyne*
They say Debuchy most likely off to Manure so in the event of that happening my first choice would be Clyne ,only cause I know bugger all about Rosales. £3M is cheap as chips for a decent Rb so maybe he’s a bargin and I read two German and Spanish clubs also interested in him .
ffs cyne=Clyne
Seen him play quite a bit for Venezuela. He’s decent at defending and good going forward. He got 7 assists last season for FC Twente, the same amount as Luuk De Jong. Definitely an improvement on Simpson but better than Debuchy? I don’t know. Not seen him play.
RICHIE try drinking tea it might help
Seen him play once or twice for twente, I assumed it was Rosales the argie lad from ajax they were talking about because he spent so much time in the opposition half and played like a winger.
Looks a good player but id still be happy enough if wee danny got his head from up his arse and signed the new deal and saved us spending money on a right back that could be used in the positions we really need it IE Centre half, Left back and for me a classy midfield player to play alongside Tiote and Cabaye in a three like Gylfi Sigurdson…
I think its a safe bet to say the club will sign a player to replace Simpson this summer. It’s one of the most obvious areas for improvement, along with RW and CB.
I’m glad Ritchie isn’t drawing up our contracts.. we would have some crab of a player called Cyne on a four year deal
AMF he cannot even write never mind draw,he would be fooked without a keyboard
Ice
he has big keys on the keyboard to compensate for his chorizo sized fingers.. 
Never seen any of them play but I assume we’ll go for the cheapest.
Stuart I think it’s a little more sophisticated than that. I think they want Debuchey for no more than £5m but if that fails they will go to say 3.5 for clyne or say the same for Roseles. Whatever the figures are. But I think they go for their 1st target until they become too expensive or they lose out, then they move to number 2. I think that they explore everybody on the list though.
Rosales has been a first team regular from the age of 18 and has five years league experience in the Belgian and Dutch leagues , has played in the champions league and is a regular starter for Venezuela.
That’s good enough for me.
Debuchy obviously has the proven class to help out immediately, so he is definitely our 1st choice. Depending on what we would end up getting for Clyne, Rosales SEEMS like a good option for us, especially at that price.
Debuchy aint gonna be available for 5m
Bearing in mind Pardew himself has mentioned on numerous occasions that we have defensive weaknesses, it makes me wonder why our first signing has been another midfielder?!
I’m sure he’s a good signing n all that, but we have been linked with Debuchy for donkeys now and yet now there is a chance we could now loose him to Man Utd. I know it’s all transfer speculation, but we need better quality defenders and Debuchy is certainly that so why hasn’t he been signed up yet?!
As the article says, if Simmo leaves, Rosales would be canny for £3m, but I would still like a naturally left footed left back in as well. As much as Santon improved at the end of the season, I still not think he’s going to be comfortable playing there all season.
Just seen the line up for tonight game Holland v Bulgeria , Krul starts in goal .
West ham gonna offer £7m for Bas Dost apparently
Cant say who is better Debuchey or Rosales never having seen Debuchey play . Rosales is definatly a better player than Simpson though both defending and getting forward . More pace and stronger in the tackle .
KIMTOON they won’t get him ,he already said he wants a team that will be playing for prizes and Europe . He a is supposed to have turned Aston Villa down and is in advanced talks with a german team .
Sharpy..Maybe cos Amalfitano is out of contract soon, also the clubs of the players who are going to the Euros may want to wait until after that as they will get more money and more clubs after their players, as will the players themselves. Also there’s the small matter of the transfer window not being open yet
I heard Kruls in the XI for Holland, has the game been played? If so does anyone know how he did?
Axel ,Good don’t like the thought of such a talent going there to play under fat sam.
ANDYMAG its 1-0 for Holland at halftime , Krul apart from 1 free Kick that had him beat but hit the cross bar , has had nothing to do .Not even 1 shot too save of any note .
Ritchie – sorry for the delay, bathtime for boyo.
I guess I already know this answer so I suppose it’s more to confirm I understand it all. When Man Utd done the deal for Phil Jones last season and Arsenal have already done the deal for Podalski this summer – I take it that is because ALL parties were happy for that to happen.
It’s a bit of a headache all this like. I wish they would just change it back to how it was – scrap the transfer window and just buy when you want a player. This way just a fuck on and gives players too much power IMO.
Sharpy…I was reading about pre contracts the other day, all it said was that they allowed all the paties to negotiate without interference from a 3rd club while transfer fee/personal terms etc were agreed, as far as I could tell they weren’t exactly binding but who knows, but I’m guessing with Amalfitano’s everythings agreed as with Podolski’s I guess. I suppose as long as all parties agree you can stick anything you want in a contract. “Real Contracts” don’t mean much so how much a pre contract is worth is anyones guess
Richie – that was my understanding of it but then saw on SSN the other day that Eden Hazard was deciding which club to join having agreed personal terms with Chelsea, Man Utd and City which would mean the whole interference from a 3rd party thing doesn’t make sense … or, having just written all that – have I just released that Hazard is out of contract this summer?
So Holland lost 2-1 they gave a very sloppy goal away in injury time , be interesting to see if Krul plays in their next game next week .
reet i dont know if this is BS or not.
but i heard the day that the reason pards was over in monaco(more likely for the GP) was to talk to someone who wants to invest in the club.
Sharpy
I have a feeling that if Hazard signs for Man U Debuchy will as well, as he’ll have a friend there not needing to constantly hang out with Krul. Saying that I don’t think Eden will choose man u.
Yeah Andy, that had crossed my mind as well. I know Debuchy is friends with Cabaye but reckon he’d follow Hazard to Utd. Where do you reckon Hazard will go then? – I fancied Utd to be honest coz he knows he could walk into their midfield and be an instant hit. City have a fairly strong midfield and Chelsea not having a manager would put him off.
Sharpy @28 it’s the agents who have too much power and say on contracts not the players imo. Just look at Ba at the moment ,he’s already said he’s letting his people sort out his contract.And Cisse said I was told to go to Newcastle airport as I was signing for Newcastle in an interview recently !. I’m sure with some players they just do what they are told .
Hitman@32 ,Well if we are looking for a rich investor Monaco is the place to go.
Kim – youre probably right there like, the agents fees are a huge part of the football world now, the seem to negotiate the best deal for themselves
Sharpy -yeh i’m sure that’s a huge part of it. Look at some of the players that have left us looking for a better deal ,they may be richer ,but career wise how much better off are they .I bet their agents are well happy though ,feckin leeches ,rich for doing pretty much naff all .
….speaking of England, a quite like the look of this Axolotl Chamberlain like…
http://www.myaxolotl.com/images/axolotl-close-up.jpg
…canny pacy like, nahs where the food is
Sharpy (two and a half hours ago
)
. What will happen is he’ll think he’s made a good choice signing for the new big team, getting paid loads, but city won’t play him on the wing as they don’t play like that, he’ll then end up as a CM like Milner. 
I reckon he will sign for city and after 3 months regretting it and going to Newcastle every couple of weeks to see yohan and Matheui
Hazard will end up being City’s Cronaldo. He’s more than just a winger.
…but he’ll never be as big a cunt as you, TC
fuck you all, and good fucking night
Where is everyone.. has Ritchie been on here trying to be humourous, only something like that could keep people offline
Morning all. See Pards and a few of the backroom staff are guests of the Marussia F1 team in Monaco today for the GP, lucky bugger so he will be soaking up the atmosphere in the pits and eyeing up the sights so to speak, ahem. Apparently the CEO is a massive Newcastle fan so they will all have plenty to talk about. Martin Brundle may hunt the silver fox down for an interview pre race
Morning Aussie – how you doin this fine day? It’s sweltering here already – well by UK standards anyway
Morning Deb, I guess it is just you and me
we are heading into winter here but today it is a sunny 21c. What is sweltering temp wise over your way?
well at 8.30am it’s 23 degrees already
What happened to that kid from Melbourne we were intersted in, did he ever sign?
Answer the lass ya bloody galah!
Rod
morning all; @deb – melbourne kid was sent back a couple of weeks ago, didn’t make the grade I’m afraid
TC…I was a bit shocked at that, it’s not like Rodz to talk sense at that time of the morning
Still no news Deb, I have been keeping an eye on the situation to keep on top of it…
Magnificant looking birds those galah’s, smart too
I suppose it’s not too hard to look smart over there though
Works for me Rich
That’s all you can ask out of life
Whats the crack? I see West Ham are gunna try and sign Owen, what a bunch of plonkers. And I read that Cisse interview on eds blog where he refers to shola as ‘the great Ameobi’.
Time for a fosters I reckon… a few of them in my system will certainly make me more clever
I’m up early today as I accidentaly took the walkie/radio from work (
) so had to return it before the day started. So typical me, was in my pocket and I just assumed it was my phone 
Wad do you mean early Andy.. its 4.30pm in the arvo
Aussie….Aye, the Foster’s should help. You already have an IQ of 2, 1 more and you’ll be able to grunt
…..I thibk you may need to send some over for Andy too by the sounds of it 
….and me *thibk*
I thibk you could do with a few aswell richie
).
AMF
4.30pm, perfect time for a fosters (good call
You having a few nips of hard stuff in your morning coffee Rich, your typing is a bit more coherent than normal
.. I had to take the IQ test twice, I failed it the first time 
Perfect time for a beer maybe..but Fosters?
…mind Aussie swears by it 
No mate, will probs have a few later when I go to the match though
I did the IQ test competively, stupid mongoose beat me
Timing is good Andy… fosters.. not so much… shit beer
Rich uses it as aftershave, he reckons it makes him smell like a man, but nothing can cover that amount of femininity 
Morning lads, any new news then? Would love it if we Signed Debuchy but I can’t see that happening for 3m. Rosales would also be a great signing given his experience. I would hope we’re looking at a new left back too so Santon can move over to the right oh and a new CB of course. I think we’re pretty sound in midfield. Don’t agree with any of this rubbish about needing another winger but won’t complain if we can get Barnetta on the cheap
AMF
Anyone know what time the France match is on? Will it be on tv(sky?)?
Foster’s certainly wouldn’t cover it, Elephant beer does a canny job though
WhyCab… I think if it’s true Barnetta knocked us back with £40k a week, he’ll probably be looking for more than that now as there’s no fee involved any more….or the least he’ll want is a canny signing on fee imo.
Andy..think it’s 8pm ko and not on Sky
Barnetta just seems like a better Larsson(mackem’s), would do well for a team like Villa.
cheers richie, that sucks, ROI v b-something(
) was on SKY last night, was hoping it might be on.
If they are good enough, I would love to see some of our young mids getting a go.. we have Vuckic and Abied that look promising, rather see them that Barnetta..
Rich
enjoy your game today mate !
AMF
I agree completely, any way barnetta wouldn’t suit a 433 very well, and would be behind Ben Arfa the majority of the time.
Aussie…by the time it comes around I’ll probably not be arsed and just watch the France game instead
Rich, Know the feeling mate, its hard getting off the couch on a Sunday
I think I’ll be watching soccer aid, always good for a laugh seeing random celebrities be really shit. Will Ferrel is in the World team this year
, as is Gerard (thiis isss SPARTTAAA) Butler 
.
I love 300 sooo much
“Surrender Leonidas, we have so many archers their arrows will block out the sun”
“Then we will fight in the shade”
Aussie….Aye, I usually go for a daily walk out in the sticks dicing with death with the local wildlife but a) can’t be arsed and b) got a tad sunburnt the other day and c) this soda is just so damn comfy
Richie
soda tends to be comfy
Soda = Sofa?
*sofa*
I really need to drink more 
decent interview with Colo http://www.sundaysun.co.uk/sport/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2012/05/27/newcastle-ready-for-euro-quest-fabricio-coloccini-79310-31052614/
Andy
Barnetta would be an excellent signing for the toon. He’ll cost nowt in transfer fees, so why not invest this money in his salary, the bloke is a seasoned international after all ? His mate and old toon target Derdiyog has just signed for Hoffenheim (man what a loser), so Bayer will try all they can to keep a hold of Barnetta…
He’d be a great signing for the toon…
Richietoon….you still hanging on in there mate ?…..any sign of the Spanish re-inventing the peseta ?….those dastardly greeks are thinking about it …
Keep your wedge under the mattress mate….
the drachma that is…..
…
Looks like Martinez to the bin dippers….just leaves the Chelsea post to be filled, then the transfer spending merry-go-round can start…
Did Barnetta not deny that lad being his agent, The one that mentioned £40k not being enough ??
Colo in good form, What a class act he is on and off the pitch, Great choice as skipper bit of a change in tac from Joseph being captain at the arse end of last season after Nolans injury
Also the new improved inform mandy impressed me last night
If he starts against the french were fecked…
barnetta would be a good buy but i think debuchy is a smoke screen for a different right back who we dont even know about, we all know how the transfer system works now !
MM
Aye and they’ll be worshipping Zeus again soon
Has Martinez been confirmed Munich? It looks like Pep is targeted by Chelsea..
Rich, I got bout 12 holes into my golf game today and the couch/ sofa was calling my name.. should have stayed at home
MM…they still talk in pesetas anyway and most things have the price in them as well as Euros. If the mother in law says the price of owt expensive she says it in pesetas
CC….don’t know about the agent but I know Pards commented on the agent’s “comment” so I’d assume the club would know if they were dealing with the right agent or not…..maybe
Aussie… I am the world’s worst golfer like
Aussie…not yet, but apparently Martinez is gonna come clean on Tuesday and let everyone know what the future holds. He’s spoken to Liverpoodle twice apparently, so the writing is on the wall imo…. Agent Bruce is being touted as returning to Wigan….
I reckon Chelsea will hoy so much wedge at Guardiola that he won’t be able to say no…
Old ‘arry will probably avoid a stint of porridge due to the old pals act, so that will mean all of the “top” managerial positions have ben filled, so we can breath out that Pardue will stay at the toon, at least for one more season…..
Richie, her from inside of the doors still talks in terms of deutchmarks….seems to me that neebody likes the euro…….
Richie, do you have time for golf mate, I thought you were working full time on your suntan ?
MM..aye, it puzzles me how you can price owt in a dead currency as there’s no exchange rate for it, no fluctuation in it’s worth….but hey ho whatever floats there boat…..wor lass on the other hand always says pounds instead of Euros
MM…played “proper” golf once, in Germany funnily enough. The lad I was with got well pissed of with me by the 9th hole so off to the bar I went
Rich
Just remember reading some stuff about that guy who made the £40k a week comment, Being a fraud:
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,11678_7081256,00.html
@SunSteveBrenner
Steve Brenner
So loudmouth Barry McIntosh doesn’t represent Barnetta at all.Yet he was slagging off #nufc bid this morning?Agents pretending to be agents.
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,11678_7081256,00.html
CC..it’s ok I copied and pasted it
well if that versions true, then sign him up for me like 
Richie…that’s a serious combination mate, your lass converting from euros to pounds while living in spain…..
I wonder what we would call the currency if the autonomous state of geordieland announced independence ?! poonds ? 
Riche@100…..good tactic mate…..theres nowt irritates “proper” golfers more than playing with a beginner…
Golf is a waste of time and space if you ask me….I suppose those golf courses help to fill up those fast swathes of unusable land on the Costa Del Sol
richie walk the whole 18holes nee chance caddy would have to wheel him around along with a few crates of booze anyway normally nowt to perv at on golfing trips
Ice, if Richie walked nine holes, then walked back again to the bar that would be the equivalent of walking 18 holes though wouldn’t it ?
pic of pards in monaco.anyone know who is with.
http://twitter.com/JoshDrane93/status/206697481625538560/photo/1
MM i know what you are saying mate but dont forget richie is fooked counting past ten gets into a panic to far from bar somebody might be buying a round hates missing out
andy woodman
CC ….the bloke’s got some Plymouth…..
…blue is obviously in this year ? Pardew though, loyal as ever in B&W…..
I wish the new footy season would hurry up and start….
Agree with you MM but not about golf.. great game, something that can not be mastered. Ritchie has the same struggle with banging out a funny comment
Aye im missing it like mad, Yesterday i ended up watching the play off final, irish and the england matches, Goldfinger, The fecking eurovision shit, took little ld swimming, pub grub and an ice cold pint in beer garden and im still cracking up, Nowt can compete with watching the lads on a saturday 3 o’clock
The euros should be ok when get the barbie and the plasma on the lawn like…
CC I like your style big man……!
……..sounds like you had a fun-filled and eventful day yesterday ! 
CC….”beer garden”….where you at mate ?
Aussie….you cannot fault a tryer though mate….
I’d love a garden that grew beer..
MM
Aussie@118
Where you at mate, Melbourne ?
Perth mate..
never been there, are there many other Geordies ower your way ?
I’m an adopted fan mate.. not a lot of Toon fans out this way.. all man u , liverpool, chelsea and gunners.. basically teams that have won things..
