Anita Signing Confirmed: Pardew Thanks Ashley

Newcastle United have confirmed the signing of Vurnon Anita from Ajax, with manager Alan Pardew thanking owner Mike Ashley for pushing on with the bid. He has also said that he would be happy for a further addition to the squad.

After the sigining was confirmed Pardew said;

"It was pleasing. Ajax are a fantastic club and to take a player out of there is difficult, especially one of their better players. So I thank Mike and the board for getting that over the line because we needed an extra player.

We might need another one yet, but for sure that has strengthened us. I wouldn't mind it (the transfer window) closing now - I'd be quite happy to keep all my players. But if we manage to add another one that would be the icing on the cake really."

For us, so far it has been a good one. We haven't lost any of our great players and have brought in three or four, so so far, so good. I think it (keeping players) is key to a club like ours, where we are vulnerable to the Champions League clubs and the salaries and fees they can pay.

But as I've said all along here, Mike Ashley and the board don't sell cheap, so they would have to come and pay us a hell of a lot of money to take one of our players."
