Hopefully Graham Carr will sort us out the 3 good players we need and will move in before the pack and avoid competitive bidding which all selling clubs love and just hikes the price

02 Mar 2011 18:50:11
Hi , im a phisio at arsenal n theres talk in the team that your lot bid for bendtner. i understand popular belief hes cocky but he isn't cocky he is sure of what he has, which is talent, i think yous could be back in the summer, and nik is excited about a posible move,


think you better learn to spell if you want to keep that job! PHYSIO! my ars*

02 Mar 2011 11:35:34
Dont want Defoe got enough Cockneys as it is. We need someone whose young, hungry unproven at this level

02 Mar 2011 11:25:01
Adriano would be class signing, can't really lose signing him on free. Plus think fans would love him and could be the spark he needs and got good group of players who could help him through problems. Ashley could be quids in if Adriano hit some form.

02 Mar 2011 10:43:43
Defoe has been mentioned to come to nufc.a

02 Mar 2011 07:43:21
Anyone got any news on the Alexei Mordashov situtation? (K)

01 Mar 2011 23:06:32
Hopefully he cries when the fans that used to love him boo him for being the money grabbing piece of sh*t he is. Guarenteed after the game he claims he was forced out of club which is bull he heard £60 000 and ran quicker then he ever has.

01 Mar 2011 18:50:23
Does anyone else think it's abit strange penciling Ameobi in against Stoke when he is certain to be hit in the face by either of the centerbacks.

Wouldn't mind seeing abit more of Kuqi looked a handful when he came on against Bolton and Lovenkrands goes missing so much also would like to see Airey given a few games.

01 Mar 2011 16:00:38
The guy that said about carroll (traitor) yes can't wait till we smash liverpool nolan hattrick to wipe the smile of carroll's face then he will be wining about making the move. who agrees?

01 Mar 2011 13:23:57
Bojan from barca has been mentioned to become available would love him (WelshToon)Any Chance Ed?

01 Mar 2011 12:22:00
I reckon we will see £15 million of the £35m as fat f*** will claim he has invested it on Tiote and other players wage so therefor it has gone into club.

01 Mar 2011 09:01:46
We all mentioning players but first things first is mike Fatty goin to part with the cash? k.keegan reakons we won't see a penny, do you think m.ashley will make the money available Ed? {Ed001's Note - some money, but not much of it.}

28 Feb 2011 22:32:52
I personally think it's out of Newcastle and Totenham in the prem for Gervinho Spurs could offer Champions League football but Tiote may be able to persuade him to join us.

Arsenal aren't really lacking fire power and their main interest is a centerback and probably keeping hold of Nasri and Fabregas.

Liverpool will have Suarez and Traitor as their main strike force so gervinho is not going to be happy being a bit part player.

28 Feb 2011 21:14:40
Ed which players do u think are most likely to come in the summer at the moment and which players do u beleive will leave?

28 Feb 2011 18:47:25
Cant wait till the line up after summer i can see big players in our team such as Gervinho etc

28 Feb 2011 18:18:13
Is Carlos Vela available on a free ?

28 Feb 2011 13:46:23
Are Newcastle closing in on a summer move for Gervinho Ed ? {Ed002's Note - Possibly - but Liverpool may also be interested.}

28 Feb 2011 09:00:41
How are cologne doing Ed? {Ed001's Note - not particularly well, 13th I think off the top of my head, they are struggling.}

28 Feb 2011 08:00:56
Newcastle Interested in Lavezzi? any chance of this happening ed ? {Ed002's Note - It seems unlikely.}

27 Feb 2011 19:04:34
We signing, Messi, Rooney and Ronaldo in the summer with the 1million we gonna get off Ashley off the 35million off Carroll deal. Just beacuse we bigger than Barcelona!

Whatever Scumcastle fans!


Another ill educated mackem T**T with nothing else to do but type some SHI*E about us.Get a life.

26 Feb 2011 19:04:55
A quality defender that newcastle should buy and man city were close to signing him but the club wanted more for him because man city have cash is christian ansaldi, argentinian defender, 24 years old and will have the backing of colocini to convince him for only 6 million pounds from ruban kazan.

26 Feb 2011 19:16:34
Newcastle should sign these players and we will be a strong side for next season

Hulk from porto 19m
Ansaldi from ruban kazan 6m
Ibrahim afellay from barcelona 7m
Franco Zuculini racing club 3m

26 Feb 2011 17:02:34
Go on your own page mackem or whatever your team are doing rubbish were doing good

26 Feb 2011 09:42:36
We signing, Messi, Rooney and Ronaldo in the summer with the 1million we gonna get off Ashley off the 35million off Carroll deal. Just beacuse we bigger than Barcelona!

Whatever Scumcastle fans!

26 Feb 2011 07:40:51
Any more news on the russian take over, its killing me not going to SJP while the FCB is running our club

25 Feb 2011 21:48:00
Newscastle should consider theses players bit pricey but will be worth it in the future.

Fernando Llorente (Atletico Bilboa) £20m
Mario Gomez (Bayern Munich) £25m
Sulejman (Ajax) £8m
Jermaine Lens (AZ Alkamar) £6m
Ibrahim Afellay (Barcelona) £7m
Gervinho (Lille) £10m
Diego Bounanote (River Plate) £6.5m
Djibriel Cisse (Panathiakos) Free
Douglas Costa (Shaktar donestek) £9m
Sotiris Ninis (Panathiakos) £9m
Hulk (FC Porto) £20m

Afellay has barely been at barca for 10 minutes and hasn't Lens joined PSV

25 Feb 2011 21:12:03
ED, I've been reading a lot on newcastle recently and all of them are saying if the £35 mill isn't reinvested they are off, is this just reporters stirring things up and latching onto other stories/rumours or is it true? {Ed003's Note -I would imagine it to be the press mate}

25 Feb 2011 14:27:54
6 and a half year contract for tiote class player, how much will this add to the transfer fee in the summer now.

25 Feb 2011 11:28:40
For a change I woke up to read some good news about Newcastle. Now I might get Tiote on my shirt can't wait for til match.six and a half years now we need to get Enrique and Barton signed up.

25 Feb 2011 11:07:51
Well happy that cheik tiote has signed a six and a half year contract

24 Feb 2011 19:36:40
The Bolton websites have been very harsh on Kevin Nolan. I just hope we smash them for Kevin. I think he s been one of our best signings his goals, his captaincy, leadership, created work ethic team spirit, togetherness. For me he s irreplaceable just like Tiote, Enrique, Barton

24 Feb 2011 14:52:04
Read Private Eye Street of Shame on NUFC

24 Feb 2011 09:57:29
To the guy who said that he saw messi in the shop really did you? Well only two months ago i saw joey Barton in Fenwicks with is body guard!

24 Feb 2011 10:01:39
Oh great now i hear that pardew has said that Ben Arfa will be back early April.

24 Feb 2011 09:30:46
Newscastle united should consider buying fernando llorente for 21m pounds. he is similar to carrol and will be a future player for spain. Also i think we should also sign diego bounanote for 6m pounds from river plate. he is only 22 and will be a big hit for argentina similar to messi. i believe we need a good center back and signing kjaer will do it.

24 Feb 2011 07:51:00
Last night after work i went to Somal's shop in Gossy to get 8 cans for a fiver and who was in there, non other than Lionel Messi, buying some corned beef!, he was asking the shop keeper about the area and if he knew of any flats or appartments that were up for sale or lease!. . i just stood there opend mouth and in amazement, he gave me a high five and walked out of the shop, got into his rented Fiat 500 and sped off. .

23 Feb 2011 15:22:23
Think NUFC need to sign at least 3 players in the summer imo, looking at who is probably worth keeping the squad looks a bit like this. .

Ameobi Best Ranger
Jonas Tiote Nolan Barton
Arfa Guthrie Gosling Kazenga
Enrique Collo Willo Simpson
Ferguson Kadar s.Taylor Tavernier
Harper Forster Krul

With Carroll gone the obvious gap needed filling in the starting 11 to improve the first team is a striker. would guess that r.taylor, lovenkrants, smith, cambell, routledge would be allowed to leave for whatever the club can get for them to get the wage bill down - smith and cambell especially and then those players replaced with freebies along the lines of elmander/larsson.

Think with sunderlands apparent money woes, trying to nick in and secure a permanent deal for onouha would be the perfect signing our defence needs as he can play anywhere in teh back 4. Also think Gervinho has to be the no1 target as he could play off one of our many target men, out wide with arfa in a 433 or even right side in a 442 if barton had to tuck for injuries and routledge will no doubt be sold.

Would be an excellent summer if we kept our good players and only brought in onouha, elmander, gervinho - what do you think? ?

23 Feb 2011 14:23:30
Ireland hopes to be training properly by next week with another 1-2 weeks to get fully fit there was no point in bringing him in he's only going to get bout 8 games in that's if he can even get in the team.

22 Feb 2011 23:34:13
I hope it isn't true that Newcastle are only willing to offer joey barton a 2 year deal i don't see him excepting that at all with the wage decrease as well. It would be a massive blow if we lost him in the summer as well if he wants a 5 year deal Ashley has to give him one he has been a stand out performer for our side and in the premier league and has said he would love to stay.

22 Feb 2011 21:11:42
Pardew if you want to get rid of enrique get perotti as a replacement ed what position does perotti play? {ed's note - he is a winger, normally plays left side currently but can play on the right as well and is mostly right footed.}

22 Feb 2011 21:13:19
Sorry ed hes a mid enrique replace for miguel whats your thoughts ed? {ed's note - Miguel is a right back mate.}

22 Feb 2011 21:06:27
Dont worry about the transfers so much worry more about our owner! then again hmm.

22 Feb 2011 16:25:38
Loic Remy has a heart problem failed medical at a Premier club can't remember which and also failed his 1st medical at Marseille a compromise was reached the rest is history but we won't be signing him got enough injuries as it is! Souness won't be managing Bournemouth they ve got a new young manager who has won his first five matches Lee Bradbury. Souey wants to replace Eddie Mitchell the chairman !Both he and Harry Redknapp live in nearbye Sandbanks the most expensive real estate in UK and both fancy their chances as owners.Harry has managed Bournemouth and son Jamie played there.

22 Feb 2011 16:05:54
Rumours coming out that Djibril Cisse is looking to cancel his contract at Panathinaikos due to racism directed at him and Newcastle are looking at a bid ed do u recon there is any truth in this?

22 Feb 2011 13:32:50
Hopefully Petet Beardsley will be on the lookout for some promising youngsters while he and his U21's team are playing in this tournement and inform Pardew and Carr.

22 Feb 2011 13:00:17
Loic Remy will never be prolific in Premiership probably get bout 5-8 goals he seems more like a player that would be suited to a 4-3-3 formation cutting in from the wings.

22 Feb 2011 12:57:57
If Newcastle's targets are the likes of Larsson I am expecting second season syndrome if they want to show ambition they need to keep sending Graham Carr out on scouting missions to find more players like Tiote.

21 Feb 2011 22:36:23
Firstly my source wasnt a apple app and secondly every rumour has to come from somewhere so if you know all the rumours of this apple app then why are you on this website and secondly why why the hell have you got a problem with it just look at most of the rumours where are they from? and secondly im adding my personal opinion at least i follow Newcastle and i got this rumour 4 days ago and you posted this now?

21 Feb 2011 20:36:11
Who fancys a protest againest ashley at st jame's soon? before he decides to sell any more players

21 Feb 2011 20:31:57

15 Feb 2011 09:21:33
Elmander, Wickham, Ireland, N'Zogbia all heavily linked for around £25 total. With a possible shock move for old boys Bellamy (if Cardiff don't come up) & Jenas (hopefully not in return for Tiote). Joe Cole looks unlikely with wage demands being a barrier that Ashley is unlikely to remove.who wants these players!?!? i havnt even heard of whickham, people buy championship players WHEN there in the championship and where not and Not going to be! !

21 Feb 2011 15:40:04
My mate works in the city and has asked his boss to ask around about nufc takeover and his city mates have all herd nowt. ed have you herd out

{Editor's Note: I herd nowt like yu.}

21 Feb 2011 14:47:27
Where did you here about this meeting? It will be a long wait but will be worth it if true

21 Feb 2011 09:54:42
I can't understand why madrid manager wants Benzema out, Ed are newcastle actually interested in him?

{Editor's Note: Benzema is playing due to the injury to Higuain and will almost certainly move on in the summer - unless Mourinho leaves. I think it would be difficult for Newcastle to persuade the player to make the move.}

20 Feb 2011 15:35:39
Alan pardew has admitted to having 6 summer targets ed got any ideas
{Editor's note - None, sorry}

20 Feb 2011 15:19:48
Newcastle should go for Benzema they will in the summer hopefully

20 Feb 2011 12:39:12
We don't lie mate your stupid little liverpool team messed up our squad you're raiding our team.

20 Feb 2011 11:17:41
Cant believe pardew disagrees with Bartons view that we need to spend big to compete. Pardew gives examples of players that he has bought for nothing ie nicky shorey the fact is these players come along cheep extremely rarely just look at tiote and if we bring in players like this it will increase the chance of us becoming a feeder club because we bring in these players on such small wages and they will espire to more ie tiote and enrique. The fact is if he wants to bring in world class players like he claims he does ie Hulk, nzogbia, van wolfswinkel and gervinho hes going to have to spend the majority of carrols transfer fee and more if it is availible else players like enrique and tiote will leave.

19 Feb 2011 18:43:55
Dont want us linked with Benzema all that money down the pan on one player just like Owen same club too !If players are not in their current 1st team o a regular basis we don't want them.Lets find players with world class potential from all over develop and have the option to keep or sell just like Arsenal, Porto, Villareal, Sevilla, Udinese, Palermo and of course Barcelona

19 Feb 2011 09:53:18
I believe that Enrique has been screwed over by the papers his words were twisted to try and make it a big story but if he had the chance to join Villa he could of easily handed in a transfer request or said he wanted to join Villa because at the time they were pushing for Europe but he never so I don't buy this rubbish

18 Feb 2011 07:55:31
Sports Direct shares are rising all the time now at 174p Ashley own 71% not quite billionaire again but on the way !

18 Feb 2011 08:23:11
I getting sick of all the bull sh.?!t at st James park now Ashley you have a 35 m bonus sell up before you totally screw up our club, we should not be losing players like Barton Enrique and tiote, never mind Carroll please do one thing for the fans and sell up. We beg you! !

17 Feb 2011 19:13:49
Ed have you heard of any players nufc are interested to look to sign in the summer any rumours?

17 Feb 2011 18:25:15
Newcastle have an excellent midfield and a world class left back, colo is a very good centre half, so forget about them positions (providing we can hang on to them in the summer) the positions we might be buying in are 2 strikers(highly likley) a keeper(unlikely) a centre half(likely) and a right back(maybe)

17 Feb 2011 08:37:49
Would welcome russian buying 50% of club, don't want us to go back to wasting money and paying sky high wages. Ashley plan spot on, got top quality players in tiote and ben arfa for total of 9 million. Got great scout in graham carr, need 3-4 quality players and couple of good squad players. Got to think of clubs long term future.

16 Feb 2011 22:26:40
Old pro where have you get this info from? Seems very unlikely to me but as I am desperate to see the back of Ashley I will hope there is some truth init

16 Feb 2011 15:34:35
If this Russian did buy the club id hope we just wouldn't go out buy everyone other clubs are interested in don't think its a way forward like man city spent millions and still don't look like winning sweet FA. But sayin that if he bought Toon end of season hed want to plough money in for high klass players because of this new fa rule coming in to only urchase with what the club has generated. But its all speculation and who knws! (Welshtoon)

16 Feb 2011 14:46:11
Yeh i agree that he knows how to run a buisness but look at the best teams in the world man united , manchester city , chelsea are any of them run as a buisness? i don't think Ashley will let go of that 35 mil hes got he will see that as profit also i don't think we have much of a chance of keeping players like tiote and enrique cause Ashley will see the money offered and accept.

16 Feb 2011 14:02:13
If these takeover rumours are true which there probably not I would rather keep the wage system and the transfer policy in place rather that be like Man City.

16 Feb 2011 13:02:23
I am probably the only fan that doesn't want this Russian to take us over because he will come in and not have a clue buy overrated players put them on massive wages players that won't care bout the club and it will be another stint in the Championship for the Toon.

15 Feb 2011 12:39:24
We need to be signing players now either on pre contracts or get negotiations under way to avoid the summer rush and also to avoid embarassing last minute exits like the last window

14 Feb 2011 19:34:58
Ed will enrique be leaving toon in summer (Does he want to go) same goes with tiote)? { Editors note: Not sure}

14 Feb 2011 17:36:13
Gervinho £10m
V.Wiess £5m
M.Bougherra £4m
S.Larrson £0m
C.Wickham £5m
J.Elmander £0m
Z.Gera £0m
S.Ireland (depending on loan performances) £8m

Not all will be bought but i think these are realistic targets but who knows?What u Think Ed? (WelshToon) {ed's note - not so sure about the prices, but I can see you having a chance of signing any of those players. None look out of reach right now.}

That is a good point, but I say Wickham and Bougherra would be a 2m more or so

12 Feb 2011 20:58:26
I really hope we don't sell Enrique and Tiote in the summer. Thy've really been our driving force. As well as of course barton and nolan. Also colucinni hasn't been half bad either.

12 Feb 2011 19:34:27
Ed any rumours on another free agent coming?

{Editor's Note: Not that I know of.}

12 Feb 2011 18:12:42
Ed is this true but on nufc.com it says that is is rumoured about thierry henry coming to newcastle. Is this true? (Also a possible target is gervinho?)

{Editor's Note: I don't think Henry will be making the move. Gervinho is a possibility though.}

11 Feb 2011 18:57:18
Ed are newcastle going to sign ewerthon by end of week?

11 Feb 2011 14:27:32Newcastle will be having a clear out in the Summer with Campbell, Lovenkrands, Smith,
Routledge, Xisco and Soldeberg will be allowed to leave on loan with Forster being back at club.

11 Feb 2011 13:10:34Niko kranjkar (6m)
loic remy (15m)
Welbeck (loan or 9m)
Gervinho (8m)
Gomis (14m)
Erikson (7m)
Uche (4m)
Almedia (free)
Arda Turan (8m)
elmander (free)

Am sure Almeida has signed for someone in Jan or he signed a pre contract I may be wrong.
Erikson has said he will turn down Liverpool and other clubs amid reports of 10m interest to stay with Ajax.

09 Feb 2011 23:35:02

Pardew will make another offer for ewerthon and the money they offered him was only 10k a week. Ewerthon is pardew number 1 target so he will sign him by the end of the week on 18k week.

09 Feb 2011 22:53:54

Going to sign gervinho for 8 million in the summer, either him or Carlton cole. We will make a second bid for insomnia around 10-12 million and we will also try and sign players as defensive cover plus a centre midfielder if Guthrie and smith leave. If N'zogbia bid fails we will try for matt Jarvis of wolves. All of the 35 million from Carroll going on players there will also be a little extra money should pardew need it.

09 Feb 2011 22:39:54

Ed do u think the kuqi deal is bassically done? and do you think pardew will bring in another striker?

09 Feb 2011 17:24:53

Just wondered how Alan Smith was getting on with his recovery anyone know? Also any chance the championship club you might flog him to is Leeds? ?
Sorry. . .I know, dream on blah blah couldn't resist posting ha ha

08 Feb 2011 22:39:48

Newcastle are in talks with a number of free agents but Aliadiere and Ewerthon are both possibly going to join as now Leon Best has a niggling hamstring so just to be on the safe side and before they get signed up by someone else Pardew wants both.

08 Feb 2011 18:44:39

I am expecting some quality players to come in summer but I also think there will be some talented youngsters coming in I wouldn't mind some of the following.
Elliot Bennett(take a chance on him good player)
Connar Wickham(already good and only going to get better)
Y.Bolasie(come on against us last season and look like a good little player)
Ryan Bertrand(watched him for forest and he's decent at defending and attacking great cover for Enrique and Chelsea will let him leave as they see Van Aanholt as there next lb)

With Pardew saying he will give Vuckic and Lua Lua a chance when they return from injuries things are looking good.

08 Feb 2011 18:24:49
I really can't see that being true about Crouch. I mean, why would we replace an up-and-coming world class striker with an aging beanpole who can't get a game for spurs.

We've supposedly got a lot of money to spend in the summer so I would hope we go for better targets than that. Gervinho would be a great shout, 23, can play wings or upfront.

May even make Tiote happy enough to stick around if a bigger team comes sniffing as he's a fellow countryman.

08 Feb 2011 17:07:28

"Peter crouch is def heading to toon in the summer transfer window"

Really? Source? That's really underwhelming and a bit depressing if so

08 Feb 2011 12:23:40

Slow day at newcastle today nothing really but a step closer to J.Barton signing new deal and Daily Mail mentioning newcastle to sign J.Aliadere on free till end of season. In the summer id like to see us get the likes of:-
V.Weiss (Mancity)
M.Bougherra (Rangers)
A.Di Natale (udinese)
Gervinho (Lille)

07 Feb 2011 22:42:37

In summer
In
2 midfielders (Ireland perement and maybe another bid for N'zogbia and Larrson)
2 defencers (A backup left back and a good solid centre half like Bougherra)
2 Strikers (A quality one from the premiership eg. Cartlon Cole, Elmander, Crouch, or even Rodeggella
and a class goal-machine foreigner eg. El Hamdaoui or Ricky Van Wolfswinkel

07 Feb 2011 21:40:28

Ed who do u think will be the most likely strikers to sign in the near future? {sorry mate,cant help you}

07 Feb 2011 21:11:54
Maybe this rumour about slim is true.Has joorbachian(spelling)been brought in to sign or source players or to look for potential people to buy the club with his links in south america and the like.Just a thought!

07 Feb 2011 17:52:09

Cant believe everyone getting so excited about free agents who are free because they are useless, injury prone or physcos.Fran Jefferies can't get a club anywhere not even the Conference so why would we want him.We need to stay with what we ve got garner 10 points to stay up then give our young lads a chance Vuckic etc. Also Ben Arfa, Gosling will be back soon.
Forget Hulk lets find some unknown like Toite for 4m. Its much more satisfying, the wages we can contain and if we sell on for 3 or 4 times what we paid that's good business.
Lyon, Porto, Sporting Lisbon do that all the time look at Borussia Dortmund, 80,000 fans every home game find all their players cheaply now they have a dynamic young team lead Budesliga by 12 points and all their players are worth

07 Feb 2011 17:33:21

Wiki is full of Cr*p anyone can edit anyone and can the person who adding rumours under my name get a life ta (WelshToon)

Yes we spoke to Carlos Slim direct. We were in telecomms recruitment and asked if he needed any staff in Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. We didn't follow it up, pity hes the 2nd richest person in the World supposedly doubt if he ll buy us think that's just paper talk.Wonderful if he did, would open up a whole new set of fans for us and some fabulous players.B

07 Feb 2011 17:17:23

What I was told is ewerthon team did not have the money to pay him and a few other players so they had to let them go. He still scored 7 goals in 21 games . He will be a good signing for us

07 Feb 2011 14:01:46

According to wiki Ewerthon is now a Newcastle United player! Dont Know if theres any truth in that ?
says he signed today

07 Feb 2011 12:56:58

Obviously Alan Smith is going once he's over the injury. .but any thoughts where to?

07 Feb 2011 12:16:14

Just Banter -

Im a Glasgow Rangers fan. Just wanted to congratulate u guys on a superb effort to comeback against the Gunners.
Question - How stupid do you think the guys who walked out before half time feel?
Serves them right if you ask me - Never turn your back on your team.

Again well done!

I was told from my source that a takeover bid from Mexico has Potential to go thru. This is a rumour site aint it or a fact site?? This is what i was told so ive shared it. Anyway Free Agent EWERTHON has verbally signed for Newcastle United and deal will go thru Very Soon (WelshToon)

06 Feb 2011 18:39:53

WelshToon talks carp. He just stuff on here what has been in the papers for day. But he says its from his inside friend lol.

05 Feb 2011 17:43:38

Is anyone else exhausted by the Arsenal game?

Haha that's the best ride I've ever been on

05 Feb 2011 17:13:44
Is anyone else exhausted by the Arsenal game?

05 Feb 2011 17:11:02

Brilliant result 4-4 you will find that we have more of a chance of singing a good player in the summer.

05 Feb 2011 10:02:40
Hi ED

I am a LFC supporter but hope the Geordie boys will not hold this against me.I would just like to say whatever the issues were in the transfer of your beloved number 9. I think that you got an exceptional price. With this amount of money I believe that NFC can solidify themselves in the EPL.

I think a player of the likes of Romelu Lukaku would be fantastic for you , young pace power just like the NFC strikers of old. wolfsinkle would also be attractive as a two pronged strike force. The side itself just needs a fine tune .

I would like to finish by the club and its loyal hardcore supporters all the best for the rest of the season.

We will not go down because there is allot more sh'''t below us
having said that we are playing bad !
but we are not relegation material
harper had a really good game it was the sh'''t in front of him what let him down

04 Feb 2011 14:55:47

We should buy Huntelaar in the summer, and Sturridge and pick up Elmander on a free. I'd happlily forgive N'Zogbia to have him back as he has really improved at Wigan, just so long as he is not played at left back ever again. That said PvA would be good cover for Enrique and for the left hand side.

I would not mind Thomas from WBA either to put some pressure on Jonas. He is fast, godd skills and can deliver and would cost buttons compared to wasters liek SWP.

04 Feb 2011 13:44:00

Ewerthon knees has not gone have a look on the net of last season. He payed out his own contract so he can play in England befor he retires. Fact look it up your self

04 Feb 2011 12:56:54

Tino is still in toon, can he not put his boots on? Even at his age he'd be better than anything we currently have.

04 Feb 2011 12:55:43

Your clubs a joke, you will be relegated by the end of the season, thought you would get something at fulham no chance, ur rubbish and with Agent Ashley and Pardew in charge you will be in the fizzy pop league again where you egotistic morons deserve to be! you think your Barcelona but your even worse than Stevenage, live off the past and your 5-1, if that's the case we will live off the past and the 1-9 at your place! Sad Geordie losers! HA'WAY THE LADS! FTM! !

04 Feb 2011 09:30:08

I like a lot of the summer transfer targets you guys are puting up most of them great players but they will only come to the club if we are in the premiership

04 Feb 2011 09:18:51

Shola might miss rest of season bad injury gosling won't be risked again to much to soon ireland 2 to 3 weeks and then not match fit ben arfa 2 to 4 and then not match fit my hope is that the mugs that run or club don't try and bring any of these players back to soon WHY NO PLAN B

04 Feb 2011 07:03:56

What's the point in signing anybody when as soon as they are proven good players they will be sold on. Come summer goodbye enrique , tiote et al.

03 Feb 2011 19:41:41

Ed what's the news on ewerthon coming to Newcastle and do you think it will happen ?

{Editor's Note: Maybe.}

03 Feb 2011 19:04:59

Ewerthon will be the player newcastle sign this week . This is not carp. He is a 29 year old striker from brazil he has 7 caps . And Newcastle has inquired about him. Check him out on wikipedia

03 Feb 2011 18:43:31

Would love to see g. rossi, crouch and a right back in the summer. maybe mcah richards, not sure if city would let him go though. .

02 Feb 2011 22:16:53

Don't know what they done in Portugal but they were terrible today can't say any player played well either thank god Tiote is back against Arsenal.

Pardew doesn't have a clue what he's doing let's look against Sunderland made his subs brought Gosling on were was he when Bardsley shot that lead up to the goal NOT on the left were Pardew but a fitness short player. Today Newcastle were dull don't understand why he didn't bring one of the youngsters off the bench Richardson or Ferguson not expecting them to do any thing special and win us the game but they would have give us more energy and what harm would of it done we wern't doing anything anyway.

If we don't get Ireland or Ben Arfa back soon I will be worried about us staying up I'm definately not saying we should rush him back but just hoping he gets fit soon. I thought we would be alright but after that performance and more evidence of Pardew frightened to make a decision to try and win us the game.

I am even looking forward to Lua Lua recovering from injury as he could do a much better job than Guttierez.

02 Feb 2011 20:33:03
35 mil in ashleys back pocket no way is he putting any back try to flog it in summer apparently pardew owes him over a hundred grand that's why he got job

02 Feb 2011 17:38:52

NEWCASTLE DO NOT NEED TRAITOR CARROLL! Ben Arfa coming back soon (great singing) (great player) ranger could improve alot ed is elmander free to go in the summer. {ed's note - yes he is.}

02 Feb 2011 14:48:19

Hope we use commercial savvy on future signings.in the past so much money has been wasted on donkeys like Boumsong, Owen, Xisco, Marcello etc. They on their own accounted for£40million. Panic last minute buys like Emile Heskey, Carlton Cole, crouch become a massive financial liability over time. We should now be negotiating with summer bosmans and identify young talent with immense potential that we can turn into the real deal.Need to do proper scientific research, statistical analysis just like clubs like Udinese.Pardew and Graham carr have been around enough foreign clubs to know the score.At the moment buying players is in the dark ages compared to buying racehorses.Two of our racing afficianados Harry Rednapp and Sir Alex should know better !

02 Feb 2011 07:54:53

I like Ashleys business model it works at Sports Direct and its sustainable.Liverpool, Man City and Chelseas aint.Would be happy to evolve exciting young players whether they are South American, African whatever nationality. They should already be preparing offers and bringing in young talent, not this stupid insane last minute panic offers for the wrong people

01 Feb 2011 21:05:37
Shellsuits, Lonsdale, Donnay, Le Coq Sportif and now Andy Carroll. . . . . Mike Ashley has been selling overpriced S**t to scousers for years! !


This must be the post of the day. whats your thoughts ed {ed's note - made me laugh though as I have been having it texted to me at regular intervals during the day, it is now not quite as funny!}

01 Feb 2011 21:03:36
Carroll im not going anywhere i love Newcastle!
once again they are the laughing stock of the football league ftm

Anything but a laughing stock mate.£35 million for an unproven striker who supposedly doesn't even want to be at pool, whos the laughing stock?? ?

01 Feb 2011 19:36:06

Ed does this mean ranger will be in the starting 11 or will ireland step in

{Editor Note: Dunno mate, ask Pardew lol.}

01 Feb 2011 17:32:09

Blame agents for Carrolls move signing on fee of several millions plus wage hike from £28,000 to £80,000 five year contract everyones quids in must of cost Liverpool about £80million all in. Just can't believe we were such a shambles trying to find a replacement, are all the scouting staff asleep, dont Pardew and the coaching staff know of strikers with potential, what do they all do with their time, they get paid enough! I could give them 30 potential strikers on a worldwide basis that would be as good or better than Carroll. No wonder Ashley wants to get hold of footballs finances. They are all grossly overpaid for doing not a lot and even when they finish they all become sudden experts like Andy Gray, spout a load of rubbish and get paid £1.5million for doing that !

01 Feb 2011 17:18:19

01 Feb 2011 16:44:11

You laughed across the tyne when Darren Judas Bent signed for villa, Now it, s sunderlands turn to laugh across the Wear with cross dresser caroll signing with liverpool.We signed 2 class players, SES & MUNTARI, were SJP(sid james park) got nowt.
SAFC are updating our passports coz were going to europe, nufc are going to Scunthorpe.

"SAFC4LIFE" the north easts " no1 "top dogs

01 Feb 2011 12:51:07

Did you sign anyone in the end? FTM

we signed 2 players just like yous. SMB

01 Feb 2011 09:27:32

Carroll is sad loss but hes not bigger than the club, we should now give ranger the game time he needs to become top player. Reinvest in summer. Come on the toon. Need fans help to keep us in league.

01 Feb 2011 08:01:21
Season ticket in the bin cheers Ashley

WHY? Was it only Andy Carroll you went to watch.NUFC will be there long after the Carrolls and Ashleys of this world.toon toon! !

01 Feb 2011 01:08:10

I am honestly disheartened by the current saga with andy carroll, I'm sorry but I don't accept this nonsence that he was forced to leave the club etc. This is illegal and would constitute as a breach in contract, carroll legall would have been able to turn liverpool down and stay, yes mike ashley more than likely wanted this to happen but if carroll had the desire to fight for the club and put money and the lable of being a record singing to one side then he would of stayed. He is a playboy who I see often in town mostly in floritas mortal thinking he's a big time charley. Well I mean he must be worth 35-40 million along with great names as figo and fat ronaldo because he's played 50 games and spent 6 months in the prem, I say this sarcastically! Not to sound bitter but I hope he flops! And doesn't come running back to us, he's a two faced liar who doesn't deserve the shirt, a shirt every fan would play for free for as we have pride and integrity. Football is a shame no loyalty anymore, what a sad day.s

31 Jan 2011 23:05:47

Season ticket in the bin cheers Ashley

31 Jan 2011 23:03:13

I only want to play for Newcastle, i dreamt of wearing number 9 shirt, i'm going nowhere. Oh by the way, here is my transfer request cos Liverfools have offered me 90 grand a week. Well 35m for a bloke who is only potential and who will be inside within 2 years is great business IF he is replaced.

31 Jan 2011 21:13:58

Newcastle are going to have to leave it up to the players we have it's time Best and Ranger are going to have to show their worth and step up I think that if Nolan keeps chipping in with goals then when Ben Arfa is fit he should score a few and lets just hope we can get Ireland fit and to play like he was at City he can score goals and I think that should be enough to stay in Premiership this season then players can be signed in Summer.

31 Jan 2011 21:13:31

It will be the same as last year, no one apart from Ireland (who is injured). That leaves us with ameobi, lovernkrands and best all who are nothing but champonship quality at best. Ranger may get a chance now, and the idiot on sky keeps saying we have ben arfa. .but he's injured. we are doomed to the championship with £35 mil but that can be offset by the £40 mil we lose if we go down. gutted ashley didn't have a back up

31 Jan 2011 21:09:34

Llambias currently in blackpool negotiating with a beach donkey to replace andy carroll talks are breaking down as llambias only offering 10 mins for the donkeys dinner in between rides

31 Jan 2011 21:01:10

Get el hamadoui from ajax for 10 million, hangeland fulham 10 million and mcgeady 10 million

31 Jan 2011 20:48:27


Well done Mr Carroll i support your decision . . . . . . . . . NOT! hope he likes watching us get relegated this season! 35mill plus add-ons i believe takes us up to 50 mill. looks like elmander another convincing buy oh jolly ED whats your thoughts on elmander. {ed's note - I doubt he will go anywhere)

Would love to see him at the toon! !

31 Jan 2011 20:40:41

WOW WOW why relegation talk? have we lost our games that judas aint been playing in? Not about Carroll it bout newcastle forget that waster £35+m can get a few players for that.

31 Jan 2011 20:37:56
There's only one number 9 he's loyal turned down man utd, endless tropies and double wages than at the toon. He stood by us even when we were fighting for servival. He single handedly saved the toon countless times and worse the badge of honour with pride. Some say he should of went to man utd and became a champion once again, he opted for a life time of being a hero, something money doesn't buy. Scetching his name in our history books with his goals. Alan shearer I bow, young andy carroll has disgraced your memory he is not worthy of your shirt! Loyalty? After smacking up girls and drunken wrekless nights we stayed loyal to you andy how about you show some respect and loyalty back!

Well said mate, 100% agree with you, I never liked Shearer because he didn't go to Man Utd, but I met him up here at Parkhead once and he was a genuinely nice guy. And total respect for his loyalty as you say. Legend is a word used far too easily these days, but it deserves to be used when ever the name Shearer comes up.

P.S. I don't usually visit Newcastles pages but came to check out any rumours about Celtic Gary Hopper, any you guys know anything about it?

SickBhoy

31 Jan 2011 20:36:02

Are we going mad, fair enough we gte shot of carroll for a massive fee (even tho he gonna be a massive miss) but the greedy fat cockney f*ck puts the wedge in his back pocket.
If we were gonna do business id preferred it to happen early doors so we have time to cash in on a couple of players.

SKY SPORTS saying that elmander could be replacing carroll can't wait :(
we are just a laughing stock

31 Jan 2011 20:00:00

I sincerley hope we prepared for the eventuality that Andy might leave.I was wary of his injury and now hes gone! Still £40m is a good deal for us and he s on £90,000 per week. We must watch and be aware of up and coming strikers that's what scouts do don't they !Last minute availability is something else, the price rockets! Be prepared, we knew weeks ago Harry was on the prowl and now it come to pass! No Heskey please, no dross, real talent we can enjoy and support

31 Jan 2011 18:06:19
Near 40 million is a great bit of business for an unproven striker.As long as we bring someone in who does a job til end of season or better then we will be ok.Not many clubs would turn down that kind of cash.Remember david villa was £34 million.

31 Jan 2011 18:00:10

Carroll should be ashamed one minute he's talking about his love for NUFC next minute he is handing in a transfer request with 5 hours to find a replacement. And with the likes of Crouch and Heskey being thrown around it's not lucking good for us.

31 Jan 2011 16:25:06

Carroll £35m. Take the money. Sensible move.Get some cheeky bids in for Benzema and Djalo and the toon will be A ok. Good money for a young lad who might do a george Best.

31 Jan 2011 15:54:34

What about roman pavlyuchenko

WHAT ABOUT HIM? He is a classic NUFC player that we used to sign, over rated/overpaid and lazy.

31 Jan 2011 15:47:31

With the sale of Carroll and the possibility of Heskey being at SJP new castle would clearly have a good 31million left so i think we should spend 8mill on Taarabat altho QPR say hes going nowere i would have thought the routledge deal would have been used as a makeweight in the deal,
no deal on seb larrson who city are rumored to have bid on. (seriously who would you choose) but hey still plenty on time we can all live in hope we get someone like Benzema :P (Salisbury Geordie)

31 Jan 2011 12:46:48

You have to look at it like this if we had another chairman instead of M.Ashley who wanted to buy big name players and big wage earners which would put us in debt which would pretty much mean Carroll would need to be sold but cause of Ashley we don't need to.
Yeah he has made mistakes like sacking Hughton but look at us now we got players like Carroll, Barton, Nolan, Ben Arfa, Ireland, Tiote, Enrique, Colocinni I personally wouldn't change anything at the minute you's can slate me as much as you want but just how I feel. Well done Ashley.

31 Jan 2011 12:35:32

31 Jan 2011 11:44:02

The amount of money being bantered about for Andy Carroll is an absolute joke. He is raw as raw can be, lacks any real class, is very much a throw back to the 1970-80's. His real worth is at most £5M. He has promise, but so did a lot of run of the mill strikers that have been in the premiership. £20M+ I don't think so! Someone is having a laugh! !

Shut it you moron. Obviously you know nothing

Those who think we're getting Robbie Keane are wrong. . He's already joined the Hammers. . . Stephen Ireland shall be confirmed this very day, and We've been connected with at least another 2 players. 1 of Which we haave a possibility of signing?

31 Jan 2011 00:50:50

Hope the news WelshToon has posted bout Larsson is not true do not rate him at all fair enough he has good set piece but when losing he seems to go missing and his head just drops.

31 Jan 2011 00:11:47

Hi ed do you not think Andy Carroll is the next gazza with all his partying plus gazza went to spurs as well. {ed's note - I never thought of it like that, but I can see a lot of similarities, would be a shame if his career went downhill like Gazza's did. I remember seeing him coming out at the start of pre-season training at Boro (my parents used to live in the same village as the training ground and I went to visit so I could check it out), from where we were sat we though Jimmy 5-bellies had come out training with them! I have never ever seen a player that much out of shape at any times, Jan Molby is in better shape now! Carroll being such a big lad is already putting a lot of pressure on his knee joints, add alcohol to the mix, late nights and lack of rest, and what you get is shot knees within a few years.}
