Blatently after Ameobi is you ask me

"The big striker that remained in Roeder's sights carried all the hall-marks of Shola Ameobi as the endless saga of the 26-year-old's whereabouts next season dragged on and on.

"The big striker that I'm targetting, I think I'll get - but it might take seven or 14 days to get the club to agree to sell him to us," said Roeder."

newcastle currently have a striker crisis with owen recovering from the mumps and Martins back in Africa missing pre-season. Reckon it will be a young loan player on loan this week with the main man to come in 2 weeks time. Risky strategy though!
