Tiote just tweeted ' off to london train taking ages' wonder why he's off there?

Believable1 Unbelievable4

Either the Man Utd result was bad for us 2 as now arsenal are gonna sign him or he's flying out for the international friendlies

Agree0 Disagree1

Should think hes got mates there

Agree0 Disagree0

Flight to Rwanda where his international is, probably.

Agree1 Disagree1

Actually just read it's been confirmed that his accounts fake by twitter and the club

Agree2 Disagree0

He's about as much tiote as I am blatant fake account it's not verified or none of the other players follow him

Agree2 Disagree0

I think he will join arsenal as the fat man will get an offer on deadline day he cant resist. he s exactly the type of player they need the kids just cant cut it anymore, there are reports off arsenal and chelsea tracking him for the last few months, so since we are a selling club i fully expect him and maybe Colo. to leave

Agree0 Disagree2

Maybe he has no friends at the club. lol. nah fake account.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2011 19:53:33
y do we have some fans on saying where not going to sign anyone how the hell do u know look if ya have not got nothing good to say keep your comments to yaself cos rubbish like that show ya not true fans

Where is the grim reaper David Craig who suddenly appears when there is something contraversial going on at SJP and spouts off as though he is the fountain of knowledge of whats going on at Nufc.
The silence from him and lack of real club news at this point in the transfer window clearly identifies that his sources inside the club were the now departed Nolan,Barton and Cambell.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

What?

He'll be hanging around begging for cups of tea on Wedensday.

Well times running out at the Puppet still telling us lies about players coming in, lets face it, what we have now is what we are going with and i can see a massive struggle coming. The F*T B*****D isnt gonna spend any money,he is bleeding our club dry and i for one wish he would just F**K O*F back down south with the clown in the sunglasses and the Puppet.

Believable2 Unbelievable6

Got to say as a fellow newcastle supporter, if it was my money and everyone was slagging me off i wouldnt be putting my money in it neither get off his back and support the team and he will maybe put money into transfers he has put money in the club just not in transfers as yet surely better to get the club stable then splash on transfers? just a suggestion your thoughts ed?

{Ed042's Note - Would make sense, spend over two years hating someone and chanting that you want him out at games, threaten his MD, threaten his family, I could go on and on about the ridiculous over the top reactions, understand the frustration but there is a line and I dont agree with that method of getting your point across at all.. so all that under consideration knowing he`s as ruthless as they come, being him, how would you react? why would you pump your own money into the club? why should you? heard a lad on toontalk last week sum the anti-Ashley situation up perfectly, basically said in order to progress fans need to let go of the anger and become more of a critical friend to the board.. thought it was a very smart thing to say and I think thats the only way there will ever be a decent relationship and communication between fans and board again, imho}

we wont be signign Santon. too good for us. ill even have one of you a tenner bet

Believable0 Unbelievable5

Just one of us? lol

Agree0 Disagree1

Wages will be the problem or the fee but Ashley and co got to be seen to go through the motions. Still taking us for mugs i reckon but would love to be proved wrong.

Agree0 Disagree3

A fee of £5million has already been agreed, he's not on high wages at Inter, and is surplus to requirments as they now have that full back from Japan, so how are we not gonna get him?

Agree2 Disagree0

How are we mugs?

Agree1 Disagree0

The original post bozo, is now going to be £500,000 in debt.

Agree2 Disagree0

If you believed Pards when he said i'm looking to get Nolan,Barton and enrique signed up for longer then you are a mug. Really hope i am wrong about no one coming in and for what its worth i like the fact Ashley has sorted our debt but truthfully he may cause us relegation if no one is signed for LB and upfront jmo.

ed you heard owt about yossi benayoun m8 ?...geordie tom

{Ed042's Note - I have heard on Fridays he likes to dress up as Tina Turner and sing showtunes, just a rumour though lol.. nah mate number of clubs in for him, very good player but cant imagine we would take him on, again, age and wage, unless it was a loan deal, which it wont be, chelsea want to sell him}

Sounds like the sort of player QPR would sign.

Ssn have just mentioned Arsenal

I read an interesting tweet today, went something like this.

What if Mike Ashley has an offer to buy the club, for the same money that he paid for it, but the buyer is unwilling to pay the hundred and odd million loan that Ashley has in the club, maybe as long as we stay in the Premier League the offer remains.....

Ashley, now has to get as much cash out this season as possible, but stay up......

Thoughts?

As always with twitter it's just an opinion..... But.....

Believable0 Unbelievable2

The reason MA didnt sell the club when he was trying to was down the fact he always makes a profit and wasnt going to with the club at that time
If someone had said that were the terms of any deal to buy the club then im sure the big man would have said a straight no as he still wouldnt be making a profit All he can take out of the club would be what he got this year just doesnt stack up cos as you have already pointed out the club has to stay up so surely MA would sanction the moves for some big name players to safeguard the sale and his deal plus most transfer fees are paid over a period of time so he wouldnt be stuck with the debt for these big names either and he hasnt done this so no deal would have been offered and that you can bank on

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Aug 2011 18:10:56
To be fair the club has tried to sign players all over the summer, however we(the city of newcastle) are not as much of a draw as the london or foriegn capitals i.e .paris, but we will get players in.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

KK once said that most players he signed from abroad were hard to convince that newcastle was closer to europe than london cos thats were they wanted to go.

The first thing he did was get them flown into newcastle airport on sir johns private plane so they could see how close they were going to be to air travel out Face it tho it worked and was a good ploy but now its about money and we dont offer as much as some clubs so we dont get the interest that other clubs do.......JKM,Spenny

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2011 17:06:46
ed you got any news on a striker coming in? heard stuff about maiga and roux but no hard proof, also what happened to us watching teteh and mohammed bangura i thought them two would have been real quality signings

{Ed042's Note - Bangura lads have work permit issues, even if signed would more than likely have to go straight back out on loan for a season, maybe two.. probably know what i`ve already said on roux or maiga, situation hasnt changed from this morning unfortunately sorry mate, if I find out anything i`ll let you know}

29 Aug 2011 14:32:13
Its amazes me that we get so called toon fans on here saying the team we played and beat were the better side It happened against SAFC and fulham and not to mention Scunthorpe

For me thats just ridiculous. The game is about scoring goals and scoring more than your opposition which we have done to win the games which in my book means we played the game better than the opposing team which means we were better.

Put all this togethor and it reads we won We were better We were the better side So stop talking rubbish and either support the team win,lose or draw ao go crawl back under your pessimistic rock in wearside.....JKM,Spenny

Believable3 Unbelievable1

Spenny Mag here.... go on ur own page ur SMB

Agree0 Disagree3

If it wasn't for tim krul you would of lost against sunderland, Scunthorpe and fulham, not to mention paying refs off against arsenal and Sunderland, 3 games and you think your class, you been playing crap, your best player has been your keeper for the past 3 games. So looking forward to when you start losing games and are twisting on at Pardew and the Cockney mafia again. SGBS

Agree3 Disagree2

Look for the sunderland fans instead of poking your noise in worry about your team spending all that money and look wat its done for you we have spent nothing and look wat where doing just gose to show that we have a better team are you would not be on her try to put the cat amongst the magpies and having a go about krul keeping us in it well that wat a goal keepers there for to stop goals you numb f*** and a would just like to say says something when your own player comes to watch us play dosent it

Agree0 Disagree3

Dream on SMB, 3 games gone and your already calling for mrs doubtfire's head. What about your goalkeeper Larsson against us, short memory.

Agree1 Disagree3

Paying refs off? Is that your excuse now? Isnt a keeper part of a team? Which like i said better teams on the day dont lose. The team that scores the most on the day win and thats what we have done And spenny Mag your talking rubbish mate Im black and white thru and thru and always have been. You will be one of those morons who pretend to support a team if you can attract a bite from a real fan I was there were you? Doubt it cos your dole money dont go far enough Plus i go with a group of around 8 from spenny and dont know you

Agree0 Disagree2

Spenny mag can you not read or are you from tudhoe moor? I said to go back to wearside to the people who were talking rubbish about the toon so how can you take that as me being a mackem? Come on lad your letting the side down....JKM,Spenny

Agree0 Disagree2

I bet you a york hill, tudhoe moor mag who takes allsorts on the weekends and goes round thieving to pay for your gear. To the geordie saying forget about Larsson, did you forget about Tiotes foul on richardson in your box, cabaye tackle on bardsley, R Taylors elbow?? exactly!! also what about Tiotes tackle on Gervinho in your box the week before? he made a meal of it but was still a pena coz replays showed tiote caught him like richardson. but black and white eyes never see the truth! don't know if it's arrogance or being egotistic with you lot. Spenny Mag please stop commenting, Spenny is bad enough with out some scrouging doley like yourslef coming on talking rubbish!

Agree3 Disagree0

29 Aug 2011 14:02:23
Imagine if all these rumours come true and we end up signing Cissokho,Maiga and Roux. We have a potential French-speaking first 11. lol

Id personally have Cissokho for LB. Santon RB and Roux ahead of Maiga for ST.

Great bargains by Pardew this season though. Positive times

Pakistoon.

Believable3 Unbelievable1

Some good signings so far I agree, I'm a little bit worried about the Santon deal coming out now I fear his agent could be trying to spark some interest from other English clubs. I don't think we need to replace Barton would be much more sensible to get in Sissohko and Santon which would free up Ferguson and Raylor for midfield. Then Roux up front.

Agree1 Disagree1

Bang on about his agent and other clubs ,i know Roma interested in Santon .wish they would keep it quiet untill player signs.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2011 13:44:00
ed , is there eny strikers linked .sturridge would be a good buy

{Ed042's Note - Roux and Maiga two main targets, Sturridge wont be going anywhere I dont think, AVB seems to like him}

Believable3 Unbelievable0

29 Aug 2011 13:42:51
Ed who do you think is better pieters or santon?

{Ed042's Note - Santon, will take a bit of time for him to find confidence and form again but he will be a much better player imo}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Ed whats the possibility that we'll sign Santon to play rb and sign another fullback (Pieters/cissoko) to play lb?

{Ed042's Note - Very unlikely, have simpson, raylor and tavernier back next month who can all play at right back so unless one of them gets sold Santon would be the new LB with Ferguson as back up imo}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed any word on perch leaving?

{Ed042's Note - Small rumours of it on Forest site, be best off asking someone on there I think mate, I know he was at the Forest game when we played the mackems, but think it was just to watch, not sure though, dont pay too much attention to Perch tbh just know Newcastle would like to offload if there was any takers}

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2011 13:38:14
Looks like good news in Santon coming in fingers crossed there is no last minute hick ups my only worry is historicly italian players dont do well in the PL anybody else feel the same plus ed who would you choose out the stikers we have been chasing out of Roux or Miaga personally would have Roux as I dont like Miaga's attitude into forcing a move

TOON4LIFE

{Ed042's Note - Maigas attitude stinks, would turn me off him straight away, but on football talent and future potential alone he still loses out to Roux for me, think that lad is a really good prospect from watching him the past two seasons}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

I'm with you Ed ,hate the idea of Maiga too much money and too much attitude .

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2011 13:25:44
haha so much for pieters signing before the arsenal game eee some of the bull on here man

Believable2 Unbelievable0

He was in the bag but psv pulled out

Agree1 Disagree1

According to reports in holland once santon came along for 5mill newcastle opted for him as psv wont budge on the 7mill deal

Agree0 Disagree2

All this talk of the toon moving the goal posts on lots of deals at the last minute yet on the pieters deal thats waht PSV have done as they are trying to up the fee paid and its right that NUFC say no and cahse other targets rather than be held to ransom. Just shows its not always MA and APs fault yet some fans blame them for everything

Agree3 Disagree1

29 Aug 2011 13:17:14
I remember weeks ago I posted on here saying we'd sign santon and got absolutely slated for it diff story now Il accept apologies in time ppl lol

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Wait till hes signed before u gloat lol

Agree6 Disagree1

I ain't gloating all I'm saying is when I said it I was passed off as talking total rubbish and making stuff up just shows the sorta ppl who come on here 90% of them ain't gotta clue

Agree1 Disagree0

I mentioned his name months ago in my preferred starting eleven and everyone including ed dissed me.

Agree0 Disagree0

Tell me bout it mate it's a rumour site and wen u put a rumour on u get slated then wen it turns out there's some truth everyone back tracks lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Or claims they said it. The main one who has a go no matter what on ere is steve toon

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2011 13:02:50
Be great if we pulled this one out of the bag wif santon great player better thn enrique in my eyes jst goes to prove you dont need to spend big to get quality players if u look at the likes of ben arfa, tiote cabaye seems a decent buy think we shud have a good season if we get a new striker

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Better than enrique? hes only 20 years old and how many games have you watched him play? 3 mins on you tube means nowt

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2011 12:54:52
we have agreed a fee of 5mil for davide santon. I thought it would take nearly double that amount, absolute bargain if we pull it off.

Davide Santon £5m deal agreed.

www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2031188/Newcastle-agree-deal-Inter-Milans-Davide-Santon.html

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Just come up on SSN as well ED you heard much on it?

{Ed042's Note - Latest from Italy is €6m deal agreed, agent has confirmed looking to tie up deal with Newcastle and is said to be flying in today to discuss personal terms, looks very likely all goes well on the contract front tbh}

Agree2 Disagree0

Nice. anymore on the leftback Situation?

{Ed042's Note - Pieters deal looks dead, PSV fault not ours, we apparently met the value they wanted and they told us over the weekend they wouldnt sell because they had no replacement, according to Pieters agent.. as for Cissokho havnt heard any more on it yet, Santon story taking up most of the press coverage, but as I have said I think it will be one of the 3, would be very surprised if its two}

Agree1 Disagree0

I see i think we need Santon for RB and Cissiokho for LB pluss a striker

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2011 11:30:41
reckon roux wasnt even on the bench for there game,does that mean he could be on his way??

{Ed042's Note - What game, the one on Saturday? He played 60mins}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

29 Aug 2011 10:29:08
Ed any ideas on who and when a striker might sign fot us they are certianly leaving it late arent they?

{Ed042's Note - They certainly are lad its between Roux and Maiga.. French reports say that Rouxs release clause was met and is awaiting approval from Lens as they are owed 50% sell on fee and Miagas agent said he agreed to play in their last game on the condition he would be given green light to move so I would be confident of one coming in,, it will be tight though with 3 days left}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Just had a look at Nolan Roux on U tube
looks tasty hope we get him and Cissokho.

{Ed042's Note - Yeah I watched a lot of French footie last season, he`s still a bit raw but work rate is unbelievable and is very pacey, has potential to be a class act, type of striker we need imo would take him over Maiga any day.. Santon deal looks to be gathering pace now btw few decent sources saying his agent is due to fly into Newcastle to finalize personal terms}

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2011 09:01:34
ed any truth in newcastle agreeing a fee for davide santon?

{Ed042's Note - My full take on it here mate, dont want to fill up the page with the same stuff... http://www.twitlonger.com/show/co0qml }

Believable1 Unbelievable1

29 Aug 2011 11:31:25
Looks like Santon will be the player we bring in.. many sources saying he is on his way to newcastle. but as we all know rumours are rumours. Im a season ticket holder and it was ringing around the ground that ashley and llambias werent there in the first half as they were doing the deal with erik pieters. Nothing came of it llambias turned up in the second half and pieters played yesterday for psv. As for maiga a think that deal is pretty much out of the window and cant see roux coming through. Its going to be hard to get a striker through these next couple of days. If we do get one it wont be anyone we have been linked with

Believable0 Unbelievable0

We thought exactly the same thing m8 we couldnt see ashley so we got the camera out nd took a picture to see who was there (coz were that sad) llambias was there from the start but there was no sign of the fat man. from what it looks like well be signing santon. it also looks like cissokho is having a medical today at the toon but the pieters deal has stalled. personally ad like to see santon and cissokho both sign for us coz a think its important for cover at centre back aswell which santon can do especially with williamson injured dont no much on the striker front though.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2011 08:47:07
I live in the same block of flats as tiote and vuckic.
Unfortunately saw vuckic coming home late last night with his arm in a sling after the fulham game. Hopefully nothing to serious as was really hoping to see this kid break into the first team this season, think he is a fantastic talent but just needs to avoid injury. Also spoke to tiote this morning, his english wasnt great but he seemed to understand what i was saying okay. He said he very much expects a left back and a striker in although he said as to who they would be he hasnt got a clue. Apart from this he said he hasnt heard to much else but also said that the players dont really get to know to much more than what the fans do until the player comes for a medical or actually signs.
I still dont think a striker a lb is enough and would love to see santon and sturridge come in
Howay the toon

Believable0 Unbelievable2

Vuckic broke his fingers after a tackle he went in to. i would guess it shouldnt be to bad and should be back soon :)

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah. vuckic would really have his arm in a sling because of a broken finger. what a puff if he does though. I played a whole game with a broken wrist this season, any injury to your hand/ finegrs shouldnt matter just strap them up good. vuckic will be okay in 1 week

Agree0 Disagree0

Real hard man this one I once played a whole season with a broken shin pad Beat that then stunt man person Pro footballers get wrapped up in cotton wool to protect them so its feasable that vuckic had a sling on when he has broken his fingers Its to keep them in one place and help the bllod constantly pump to that are and also if hands arent raised its makes the injured area swell more Now do you see fall guy

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2011 09:52:42
Banguras going for 2 mil surely worth a punt

Believable1 Unbelievable0

We tried before but came up with visa issues

Agree0 Disagree0

Well apparently Blackburn or Celtic are on the verge of signing him so issues can't be that complicated

Agree1 Disagree0

Blackburn nor celtic will be signing him cos of same said visa issues and any club wanting to sign him will have to loan him out for a year like arsenal have just had to do with the young guy they just signed

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2011 09:45:54
I do hope the Davide Santon bid is true and that he is coming. Watched him on Youtube and he looks a tremendous talent. He does look predominantly right footed but very skillful and quick and at 6'2" will be a bonus in the back four.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

29 Aug 2011 02:04:47
I cant wait for the window to close, hopefully we have 2 signings in by then and we can see what the finished team/squad looks like. Weve been good and grinding oout results which is what we need but I feel we lack that cutting edge at the moment..... noone on the pitch really showing some passion, and hopefully that will chnage as they become closer as a team.
