Who to beleive on the Gervinho story? Apparently neither Arsenal or Newcastle have made offers! ! Here's the story below:
While it has recently been announced by Talk Sport that Newcastle United target, Gervinho, has signed for Arsenal, it has been revealed by the Director of Football of the player s current club, Lille OSC, that neither club have even made an offer for the Ivory Coast player yet.
Rather, he has told the French media that Tottenham have been the only club to actually make a bid for the player so far, and that it has been turned down.

Lille s Director of Football, Fr d ric Paquet, or Fred Package in English said of Gervinho s proposed move:
Today we recieved a concrete offer from Tottenham, which we have refused in the last few hours.

He then added, interestingly:

In fact, that is the only official contact we have recieved

So, it appears that there have been no concrete offers received from either Newcastle United, or Arsenal for that matter, and that he haas not signed for Arsenal after all.

Gervinho scored 14 league goals for the Ligue One champions last season, and was also a big hit in the 2010 World Cup, where he played alongside Newcastle s Cheick Tiote.

Quite a few sites saying Arsenal "seem to have won the race for Gervinho." Probably old news by now but whichever.

This site is going downhill it's a shame because Ed's seem to have worked hard to get it where it is now but with rival supporters just sitting on other supporters pages looking for an argument over the internet it's pointless. {Ed003's Note - Thats why we have seperate rumour and banter pages,if some have mistakenly got on wrong site please accept our apologies,if not, just suck it and give it back mate}

glad to see cabaye has finally signed. hopefully this will be followed by gervinho.

I believe at this time gervinho himself does not no who to sign for, depending on what you read he has either decided to sign for us, arsenal, spurs, man city or is stayin at lille. who knows? hopefully he can make his mind up in the next few days for the benefit of everyone involved. Personally i wouldn't mind if he does not come aslong as we can get nzogbia, who apparently wants to come back.

HBA Tiote Cabaye Gervinho/nzogbia.

quality midfeild. all we need then is a couple of decent strikers, otherwise we will have a world class midefeild with a league one strike force, oops.

"Still in for the two koreans. . . one plays in france and one in japan both right-sided both top plays. . .OLD PRO"


Park Chu-Young would be a great buy if the two koreans rumor is true, 11 goals for AS Monaco.

Although i'm not understanding the South Korean link of a player in france and japan. Graham Carr went to South Korea to scout. Both would have been in season in there respective league when he was scouting.

why not try and focus on a few bids i mean the percentages are something like this for people to sign for us
N'zogbia 50%
Cabaye 85%
Gervinho 35%
Gameiro 15%
Ba 45%
Berbatov 25%
Drogba 0% its not going to happen live with it

Believable2 Unbelievable4

Surely cabaye is at least 99% as he has all but signed. gemeiro is 5% and drogba 5%.

Agree2 Disagree1

You lot need to get real the only one of them you will sign is cabeye the rest are goin to bigger clubs still as deluded as eva

Agree2 Disagree4

Cabaye has signed

Agree5 Disagree2

10 Jun 2011 17:53:53
Am i right in thinking the international transfer window doesn't open til july 1st? If this is the case then how can we be signing cabaye today? Can players be signed but not officially unveiled? An explanation would be greatly appreciated but don't expect a thankyou reply as i can't reply on comments due to my phone being pants. Thanks in advance. :) pd.

Cabaye and Tiote in the middle is pure quality
With Ben Arfa and maybe N'Zogbia on the wings cutting in is going to be a hell of a force !
Still need 2 strikers which should be Ba and Sturridge !

The defence needs to be strengthened as Williamson is poo and Simpson can't defend , personally i feel S.Taylor should be played as a right back and Bougherra or Boyata should be bought in as centre back

Nolan has been great for us , leading scorer and Captain but last season he looked half dead and too me not good enough to keep up with the pace of the likes of Essien , Wilshere , Fabregas

Krul
S.Taylor Boyata/Bougherra Collo Enrique

N'Zog Cabaye Tiote HBA

Ba Sturridge

Believable5 Unbelievable1

If that was the team, I would prefer Sturridge on his own, HBA just behind and Jonas on the wing. I like Jonas, think his a bit underated.

Agree7 Disagree0

Jonas underated ? What !? He is awful ! He is a huge fanny and tries to tip toe around players instead of going in at them like HBA or N'Zog ! Sell him i say and use the money for a better player

Agree1 Disagree4

I agree i feel Jonas is underated last season he was the only player that attacked the opposition and made us a threat in final third. He deffo should be kept. (WelshToon)

Agree8 Disagree0

As dissapointing and frustrating as he can be sometimes he was our best attacking threat last season and the fact it is impossible to predict what he is going to do is why most defences struggle against him.

Agree2 Disagree0

Oh My ! My left testicle is more of a threat than him !

How do you explain Liverpool Signing from Sunderland yesterday? Gervinho is coming to the premiership, Unless you have a working crystal ball there is a good chance he will come to Newcastle* Arsenal are in free fall - Fabregas, Nasri, Clichy all going and Wenger's job is looking very uncertain for obvious reasons, Still think Gervinho is going to Arsenal? {Ed001's Note - the domestic window is open.}

Believable0 Unbelievable1

10 Jun 2011 12:15:29
HA Gamerio turned you down and looks like this Gervinho will do the same, see you not the same club you were 16 years ago, typical geordie's arrogant think you will sign top players and have loads of money to spend, won't happen and by the end of the window you will get another reality check! Nolan to Fulham, Barton to Everton, Enrique to Liverpool/Barcelona, not good being a Screwcastle fan at the moment. would just like to point out before you start talking rubbish GYAN is going nowhere! Unlucky! ! SGB'S

Believable3 Unbelievable3

Ill bare my backside if youve still got gyan come the end of the window , enrique not goin to barca but then wat would u know 3 man u rejects, , , , Genuis!

Agree2 Disagree2

Going for big players like what Newcastle are doing is showing the ambition of the club where as Sunderland are happy to clear the s**t out of Man U. Also we are going to get rejected by players but it only takes a few to say yes just like Cabaye. Also the only reason you's are signing those 3 is so Bruce can lick Fergies ass in the hope of getting the Man U job when Ferguson retires.

Agree2 Disagree1

Haha wow we got turned down by one striker but cabaye deal is nearly completed proven international cm and wheres your england international cm gone ah yeh liverpool and what are u doing with the money buying to over the hill 30 year olds and a cm who normally doesn't even get into the man u squad so pure quality coming in there and as for gyan do u really think than your chairman will reject a big bid from the likes of spurs and as for nolan and barton leaving even if they do we are bringing in younger better players unlike u who r bringing in a bunch of pentioners.

Agree2 Disagree1

Get in there that fellow sunderland fan said it all theres nothing to say at all nothing to say that matters doesn't matter anymore ha love a good laugh at the mags like

Agree2 Disagree0

Your rite ( nothing else to say) weve heard enough s**t off you lot today

Agree0 Disagree2

Ha ha i laughed at that and geordies never make me laugh

Agree2 Disagree0

John O'Shea has turned Sunderland down, he'd rather sit on the bench at United. That shows how respected you are. At least we're going for good players.

Agree0 Disagree1

Ahhhhh look at the poor SMBs, just goes to show you have little man syndrome like the rest of you mackem B**TARDS, hard living in Newcastles shadow aint it? Even when we were a Championship team, people still paid more attention to us than they did you, I didn't see many stories talking about how you were the only team from the North Easy in the PL, instead it was all about Newcastles chances of returning to the PL. Besides we all know you're just a little scared that next season we'll destroy you again? Like my fellow geordies have said. .you're bringing in 30 odd year olds that are way passed it and have no resale value. We're bringing in younger players with proven records in their own leagues that if Newcastle decide to, could be sold for higher figures. So Gameiro rejected us, who cares? Still got until August 31st to sign other players, with Abeid and Cabaye already on board, N'Zog looking like he's going back to us and Dan Gosling as well as Ben Arfa to come back from injuries, combine a midfield of Gosling, Cabaye, Tiote and Ben Arfa with a couple good strikers, and we'll have you guys p**sing yourselves and looking humiliated again next season just like we did this season. Just think, if we can beat you 5-1 with what was really a championship team, what the hell will we do to you next time? As for Gyan, I'd happily bet you £1000 that he won't be a sunderland player next season. Then again I'm not sure if you're benefits would cover it when you lost, and I'd never see the money.

Agree2 Disagree3

Good players what like neil Taylor from swansea? aye ok mate lol

Agree2 Disagree0

Rather have naylor than gibson.

Agree1 Disagree2

Naylor? :/ its taylor mate sort ya facts out eh?

Agree3 Disagree0

Oh wow. .aren't you just intelligent. .he means Naylor as in Raylor and Saylor. . as in Neil Taylor, Ryan Taylor, and Steven Taylor. . so sort YOUR facts mate

Agree1 Disagree3

Sorry can't understand a word of the geordie accent like you are a laffing stock with your geordie shore programme too the whole of england is laffing at you

Agree1 Disagree0

Typical geordie having loads of time on his hands writing a bloody essay must be on the dole

Agree1 Disagree0

He ment to say taylor mate you know he was wrong stop protecting his spelling lol

Agree1 Disagree0

Sorry but the text he wrote would of took two minutes so doesn't mean he is on the dole but obviously I'm guessing it would of took you all day.

Agree1 Disagree0

No I put Naylor as that will be his nickname. S.Taylor is Saylor to even our players and R. Taylor likewise.

Agree0 Disagree0

I have never been on the SMB's Rumour or banter page. Just couldnt do it! Must be very dire for you lot to keep coming on here and getting jealous with the players we are linked with compared to the clampets your after. As for the daft tv programme, the only thing they filmed over your way was the Goonies!

Agree1 Disagree0

Actually I'm a final year student studying social work. .not on the dole at all. .also. .the fact i can read and write unlike you SMB allows me to quickly type something out. .why don't we just call it a day, and when we play each other next season we'll see who the better team are eh?

Agree1 Disagree0

Fair deal, funny you say that actually beacuse im studying social work small world eh? but yeah your right next season should sort it

Newcastle 'united' Football Club is a complete and utter shambles at this moment in time! Lua Lua wishes to be a Brighton player by the start of pre-season, hopefully only on loan with him being 20 and with plenty of potential. Also why we arn't giving our best players new contracts are shambolack, Kev and Joey have given their all for our club and don't want to go! At the start of the transfer window it all looked posotive and then it just deteriated, we are replacing our best players with Championship players and one of the best left backs in the world who is going to Barcelona with someone who last year was playing in the confrence. Next season without doubt we will be in a relegation battle if things keep going the way they are, and by January Ashley will cash in on his best players like Tiote, so much for wanting to push forward!:/

Believable3 Unbelievable3

All your going on is pure rumour and speculation, bet your glass is always half empty!

Agree1 Disagree1

Btw Lua Lua's words have been twisted and some of the quotes are off a long time ago.
He has said he will go back to Brighton if he isn't giving a chance at Newcastle.

Agree0 Disagree0

Pure speculation. Nothing you've posted in there has any truth to it other than Nolan and Barton's contracts and if you can't see the reason why we didn't give into their demands of 5 years then I'm not going to explain it. again.

suprise suprise we r linked with cole, ba, upson and dyer. . . . . how come all the newcastle managers want 2 sign there old players? herita illunga is the only decent player west ham own! there seems 2 be ALOT ot interest in the french league/players atm aswell we shud be scouting the brazilian and argentinian leagues for real talent and wow players. i would love to see us linked with players like neymar, hulk, falcao etc but it looks like we are only interested in giving our best players away (barton, nolan and enrique) we hav the cash from the carroll sale so i hope ashley keeps 2 his word and spends it maybe we might eventually get the marqee signin he told us about wen he bought the best supported team in england! also i seen kia joorabchian at training ground this morning is he the agent of any of the players we are linked with?

Believable3 Unbelievable2

Wakey wakey wat the hell ave we got to offer hulk, neymar etc, we are a club that is re-building for the future!

Agree1 Disagree2

If you want too see players like Neymar at Toon you best start getting a petition to get Shepard back but I doubt many people will join you in that. £41 million for a player that could be as bad as Robinho.

Agree2 Disagree2

How are we rebuilding by selling our best players? last time we done that we gor relegated! the 1st post is right, we need 2 build on wot we hav not become a selling clab aimin 2 buy talent and sell it on as soon as a profit comes up

Agree2 Disagree0

Lol you think Demba Ba isn't a decent player.

Agree0 Disagree0

Who says we r selling are best players do u mean ranger and smith only ones to be told can go there are plausable reasons as to the contracts not being offerd/signed. Alot of the players mentioned where with us when we got relegated along with the likes of owen and viduka if you look at 3yrs ago we r rebuilding season by season better and better I would love to see barton and nolan in black and white next season but if not onwards and upwards

Agree1 Disagree0

What people don't seem to realise is the reason we're linked with French players this year is because our scouts have been monitoring there for a while now. I wouldn't at all be suprised if next season they were scouting the Americas, It'll be our new scouting system, stick to a certain country for a season or two.

Agree1 Disagree0

Viduka and owen were shot wen we bought them we have a history of signing has been players. . . rush, barnes, solano(2nd time round) and selling in-form players . . milner, nzogbia, A.Cole, etc etc we will never be a BIG club again we are a selling club now just like wigan and leeds

Agree0 Disagree0

Milner done nothing , zog done nothing , cole replaced by shearer your point is?

Agree0 Disagree0

We were top of the league with the best striker in the prem wen we had andy cole then sold him 2 our main rivals and finished runners up we will not get anywhere by letting players go, milner n nzogbia were huge talents and we let them go, same as wen we had the best left side in the prem (robert n bernard) that's my point! !

Agree0 Disagree0

When robert left he was past it same with bernard he did nothing wen he left us and wen he did come back he was never fit enough to play.We blew it as a team not cos andy cole went , milners a workhorse il give you that no tricks in his box and too one dimensional the only 1 id give another go is zog, but hes been a good player in a rubbish team and is prone to sulk.

ed if your rite why has mancienne bin announced as a hamburg player and henderson as a liverpool player {Ed001's Note - Henderson is a domestic transfer and there is nothing to stop transfers being agreed, but the player's registrations can only be transferred during a window. It is just a risk announcing it as either party can still back out, though there is usually a pre-contract agreed with a high price to be paid by whichever party backs out.}

If I were yous I wouldn't expect Many of the rumours to be true on here just look at our recent signings last season we just got promoted and we signed Hatem Ben Arfa I never expected that then we sign Tiote who was never mentioned on this site or anywhere else before we bid and now I read this site daily and never saw Cabaye being mentioned nor the Taylor bid.
Newcastle seem to be using sources to find players with release clauses in their contracts. {Ed001's Note - Cabaye was mentioned loads, you obviously don't read this site if you think that. I do agree on the rest though.}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Sorry ED but I have to disagree about the Cabaye part the rumours only started after it was all over French media well atleast on the Newcastle rumour site maybe it was getting posted on the main site but I don't read that. {Ed001's Note - aye it could well be, I am thinking about when I first read it, I could well have read it on one of the other sites first, you make a good point there. They do tend to get mixed up in my head covering them all like I do!}

how come every player we are linked with is french or from the french league? has wenger took over our transfers?

Believable4 Unbelievable0

They're cheapish, and on rubbish wages (in football terms) at their own clubs. So it makes it easier to tempt them over here with a 200-300% increase in wages. Plus there is some real quality in the French Leagues. Oh and of course, the French media have been singing out praises due to the whole treatment of Ben Arfa while he was injured, so it gives us more chance of them coming to us rather than to another english club

Agree1 Disagree4

Replacing our best players (nolan, barton) with young unproven french players is a HUGE risk if u ask me give these men the contracts they deserve an d sign the french players so we can thrive as a quality unit and make our way bk up the prem where we shud be

Agree3 Disagree0

10 Jun 2011 09:33:52
does any1 else think that the transfer news coming out of sunderland is better than ours atm, the fact that gyan could go to tottenham with crouch going 2 sunderland and they are possibly signing david ngog. a crouch and ngog strike force next season, lol, nile ranger and shefqi kuqi would have scored more goals had they played a full season than them jokers

Just to clear things up, Gervinho IS signing for NUFC. 3 supposed agents on twitter said he was signing for Arsenal. today they've deleted their accounts Hmm strange?. . even stranger is. Arsenal have opened talks with Lille about Eden Hazard hmmm strange? which is even stranger then the ones above is. on every arsenal blog they've stopped talking about Gervinho they've finally realised hes rejected them think back to the 30th of May when Gervinho said I've made my choice Arsenal wasnt even in the running then, Arsenal need to sell before they can sign anyone and they havert made a bid Gervinho wants to play along side Tiote and wants to partner with cabaye once again as they have a great understanding. Cabaye will sign tomorrow, N zogbia having a medical on Tuesday before signing with in the next 2 weeks after a 10m bid was accepted he told wigan he would hand in a transfer request and refuse to play if a bid wasn't accepted off NUFC by time he gets back from international duty, Marvin will also sign for 7.8m this is carrs top reconmendation and he was watched by scouts for france this week which has presuaded n'castle to make the bid before other teams beat them to it, Enrique will sign a new deal, as Barca are going all out for Fabregas and Rossi and they can't afford Enrique aswell as they only have 45m euro to spend plus player sales, Gameiro will sign for NUFC in the next 2 weeks he is flying over to Newcastle tomorrow to have a look around the city and see the stadium before making a decision Newcastle have offered a 5 yr deal worth 48k a week, PSG are yet to bid and their take over still isn't complete no funds have been made avaliable and Gamiero wants his future sorting now rather then later as he wants to go on holiday for a short break, Expect, Barton, lovenkrands smith guthire and jonas to all leave, Boudebouz could be signed for cover due to Gervinho who will be on african nations duty in Jan! that's all

Believable2 Unbelievable6

I really hope this is the case! no one really knows whats going on tbh, we all just make our own judgement's from what we hear and read on sites/papers etc. . just a case of time will tell i suppose.

That Shikabala scored again last night. 54 Goals in 79 games. Not too shoddy, but how good is the Egyptian prem?

Also, where did the breaking news re N Zogbia come from or is that just wishful thinking. Psycho

08 Jun 2011 14:01:50
Newcastle are going head-to-head with Blackburn Rovers for Egyptian attacking midfielder Shikabala.
The 25-year-old real name Mahmoud Abdel Razek Fadlallah is in the final six months of his current deal with Egyptian club Zamalek and is available on a cut-price deal.
Shikabala has scored 53 goals in 78 games for Zamalek since he returned in 2006 from an unproductive spell at Greek side PAOK Thessaloniki to the club where he started his career. Psycho {Ed007's Note - I said a couple of weeks ago that I had heard Mike Ashley had Okd a deal for N'Zogbia, don't know how real it is/was. I have no great interest in NUFC so I was just passing on what I had heard about the situation. I am sure 65k a week was mentioned}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Ed007 u should be ashamed "no great interest in the mighty NUFC" any eds have an interest in nufc? we want him?
