I've heard that Celtic are going to sign Fraser Forster and Leon Best. Don't think we will miss Leon but may miss Fraser later on but too good to be a back-up keeper.
He's obviously not that good if he only has ambitions of playing in the SPL, which makes him look a lot better than he actually is.
Qpr are going after anyone and everyone, and they sure as hell need to replace paddy kenny. fraser would've been perfect for them but i don't think they've even battered an eye lid.
Would rather see him go on loan to a Premier League Club, get some decent experience, also allow us to see if he can cut it at this level, then make a decision at the end of that year. it would be sods law that he goes to QPR or west ham an suddenly turns out to be good and we miss out financially
I would like it if Best and Forster stayed, they probably wouldn't but they could both be looking at around 10 games each and probably even more if we progress in Europa and the FA/Carling Cup. Shame to lose squad players so loosely.

Auckland City FC, Cardiff City FC, Wellington Phoenix and Fiorentina (we played them last season but it got abandoned as the pitch was waterlogged)
Gateshead-which is more of a reserve game
Cardiff-away (and if anyone is going to this, please dont take the p**s about what there owners have done, i think we, more than anyone else knows what its like.
Pre Season Tour of South Africa

Newcastle ins and outs
In
Matt debuchy - lille - 6.5 million
Douglas - fc twente - 8 million
Yousef mulumbu - west brom - 4 million
Seim de jong - ajax - 5 million
Solomon kalou - chelsea - free
Bigirimana - coventry - 850k
Outs
Leon best - reading - 2.5 million
Danny guthrie - southampton/villa - free
Danny simpson - villa/qpr/wba - 3 million
Fraser forster - celtic - 2 million
Be surprised if we spend that much without losing Tiote or Ba but some good shouts there.
Douglas is FREE
No Douglas is not free. He is still under contract.
He has a short contract extension which they have activated so that Twente can get something for his services, he should cost less than 8 million really.
