Pardew: Newcastle will not be taken for ride in transfer market

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew says they won't pay over the odds for players.

Last August the Magpies were quoted an initial price of around £13m for striker Papiss Cisse.

They walked away at the time, before returning in January when the price was slashed to the region of £9.5m.

Pardew told the Evening Chronicle: "The valuations will go up and down - we'll look at that.

"Someone's reputations will go through the roof, and someone's won't. That might affect the price."
