Newcastle boss Pardew admits striker signing on agenda

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew remains in the hunt for a new striker.

There remains the chance of a late move for QPR's Loic Remy - who scored 14 times on loan at Newcastle last season - but the boss is confident that goals already reside in his team.

"We have had some good strikers here - Papiss (Cisse) had that fabulous year and Demba Ba. Since I have been here they have been terrific, and Loic, obviously, last year on loan.

"I do think that we have got one or two players in that dressing room who can emulate those guys. To emulate Alan Shearer or Malcolm Macdonald, I think that's a bit tougher, but those recent guys we have had, I think so, yes."
