Colo out of tomorrow's game and Cisse a major doubt. Tiote struggling too.

What do they do in the summer ?

Colo shouldn't be out he picked up an minor knock but should have shaken it by now I could understand if Cisse doesn't play the full game with it being Ramadan as for Tiote why do you think we bought Anita?

Tiote and cabaye arent injured, neither is Ba, just dont want them injured, before we sell, them

Play golf ! , problem is they have to stay fit, not just holiday,

Spurs have tabled 5 million plus defoe for demba BA,newcastle are tempted by the deal.

No chance -Defoe doesn't want to come up north -Wants to stay in London

Not worth it anyway ashley will be wanting more than that considering I'd value defoe at 5/6 million due to age and ashley would want probably 15-20 million knowing him that's one thing he's good at getting the most amount of money possible for a player

No chance Defoe is 29 and he won't come this far north anyway.......in demba's we trust!

They could have offered a straight £7m two weeks ago, what a load of rubbishe

Adam johnston is holding talks with toon about possible move

Hope not he's a good player but we don't need him

No he is not. Pards said the other day that in HBA, Obertan, Marveaux, Jonas and Amilfitano we are strong in wide areas. The only way we would go for him is if he could off load one of the others so unless Arsenal are going to buy HBA (please no) or Obertan to Swansea (please yes) it is not going to happen.

Too expensive I would think

Nonsence.....Friday before the opening games of the Premier League....I just don't think so.

In the last hour (time of writing 16:00 gmt) Lille have accepted an offer of £6.25 million for Matheiu Debuchy.

Lille have already made a bid for his replacement and Debuchy is expected to fly out to Tynside tomorrow morning and will be visible in the stands tomorrow evening.

Many senior officials at the French club have become concerned with the fans mass opinion of the player and they now feel it is better to offload the French international rather than upset the player and the fans anymore.

He will then undergo a medical on Sunday which he is expected to pass despite having injured his heel in a recent international match.

Once terms are agreed he will put pen to paper on a 4 year deal and will be revealed as a Newcastle player early next week.

Well that's a load of bull, cause he's already agreed personal terms. We just needed to up our bid.

Lille replaced debuchy 3 weeks ago and personal terms where agreed then aswell sp what a load of sh***......k

Is it right defoes signed a loan deal EDD,really hope so,think he,s class {Ed026's Note - I have not found any news about this anywhere and I'd find it a bit unlikely as he'd never move this far north

Defoe is the only striker on Spurs books. I doubt they would loan him out.

Carrol and defoe to replace best & lovengrants according 2 radio newcastle

That's some exspensive replacements to sit on the bench.

Defoe holding talks with newcastle over possible move for 7.5 mil.But Defoe wants gauranteed football at toon and 50k aweek wages.

7.5mil for someone of his age? i think not

Dafoe and Carroll ! Me think not !

I am sure £50000 is within the structure though his age is not and guarantee of first team football cannot be. Would love to see him in a Black nd White shirt because he is a lethal finisher but in place of who?

Dont think we,ll get defoe,ashley wont pay his wages

As much as I'd like him here as he's a natural finisher he's too old for our policy and he's demanding a starting role.....not that anyone's guaranteed a starting role

Spurs wouldnt sell to us the day before we play them

Its to far north for defoe

Doesn't matter if they did he can't play tomorrow now anyway. Deadline has passed to register the match day squad for the weekend. Hence why man utd had to sign RVP by 12pm.

andy carrol is having medical at the toon,about to complete a 17.5 million move,nice one pards you know it makes sense.

Does anyone find it weird that were willing to spend 17 mil to get a guy back that has done squat since he left but we cant pay full price to get debuchy and didnt pay this amount to get de jong? Thinking out loud here, but lets also get enrique back for 5 and move santi to right, and then we can get barton on the cheap too!

No it does not make sense. €15m for Luuk De Jong would have made sense, but we could not afford it so we will not buy AC for this amount. In my opinion it would be a backward step, PArds wants to control games more so how will we do that by lumping the ball forward to AC? What we need is clever and quick movement and although he is not without his plus points quick and clever movement he certainly does not have.

Hope not, we could get 2/3 greally good players for that.

The striker Newcastle are looking to bring in is Cenk Tosun he plays for Gaziantepspor he is 21 years old 6 foot tall and is considered to be one the best up and coming strikers in Europe he is also leathal with both feet aswell should be available for around £4m

I live in Turkey and this is quite a strong rumour going around that Newcastle want him

This is probably just the type of striker we should be going for - IF it's true.
Ideal price for tight Ashley, wouldn't expect a first team nailed on spot and probably great sell on value if he were to be a success. Sounds about right.

Is it a coincedent that the shirt numbers come out today and thers no number 7,Toivonin from psv plays in that number or am i reading to much in to it haha?

Tell AP as Carr seems to have missed him
Well you cant be everywhere can you

Quality player!

are we getting a striker today or will the eggman be wrong and end up with egg on his face

Fantastic word play good Sir....Lol

He is the eggman we are the eggmen and i am the walrus,coo,coo,ca,choooo.

I'd love it if we shelled-out on a couple more players.

You must be yolking:)

All hail the Eggman.

Loads of rumours flying around... If we poached Clint Dempsey I'd be eggstatic.

17 Aug 2012 10:01:18
Right then everyone's fabourite farmer, it's FRiday.....................where is our striker?

I have heard mumbles of it being Shane long or huntalaar?

Sooooo hope egg man is right, really want to see a third striker in. Legend status if he's right!

I love the fact that the so called 'experts' have been saying we have been found out, and will not finish anywhere near the top 4 this season. The same experts that had us down as relegation candidates last season! Where do they dig these people up from, and do they get paid for these comments (if so it should be performance related, as they talk utter garbage).
According to one 'expert' Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool, and Everton will finish higher than us.

Arsenal. Have lost there best player, and the reason they finished in the top 4. Signed a couple of forwards, but like Gervinho who knows if they'll do a job.

Chelsea. Signed some good players, again who knows if they'll do it in the prem. Still an ageing squad that is another year down the road, and no Drogba. Suspect manager.

Spurs. No modric, no forwards (apart from defoe), no King, suspect manager. Better than last season?

Liverpool. New manager, trying to get last years flops to play barca style football. Lost Kuyt, Aurelio, Bellamy, Rodriguez, Aquillani. Signed Allen (another Adam), and Borini. Not sure they will get as many results as people think. Rodgers success was built on Martinez work, starting from scratch will take a long time.

Everton. Who knows, but will always be higher than they should be, due to Moyes.

Would i swap our current set up, or players with any of the above. Probably not, but hey what do i know, i'm no 'expert'.

I'm hoping for another great season (let's hope we get a CB in!) but I think it's very possible we will finish behind ALL the teams you mentioned. And you know what, there will be no shame in that, especially as we'll be fighting on so many different fronts with the Europa League Marathon etc. If we could pip Everton, get up to 6th or 7th, have a decent run in Europe and who knows, challenge for a domestic cup, I'll be a happy man. I'm not being defeatist, just realistic. And that way, when we exceed our expectations I'll be delighted (and not unreasonably crushed if we don't get near CL football!)

Let them chat mate. It must have killed them that it didn't pan out how they thought last season. Can't see either Liverpool or Everton finishing above us. The rest I think will. Another top 6 finish and a bit of silverware would be great.

Totally agree with you!

To be fair we've signed some good players (or so we've been told) - but who knows if THEY are going to be any good this year?
Don't forget, Arsenal now have the Van Persie money too to spend. Unlike Ashley the'll probably re-invest it.
Chelsea - Hazard and Oscar? Sounds better than Amalfitano and Bigirama?
Spurs - will still be a force I reckon.
Liverpool ? - you could be right. Rogers is very untried and could be a major flop.
All to play for - and an exciting season ahead but I, for one, don't expect us to have it easy this time round.

Lets not forget the transfer window isn't closed yet. also everton are a dark house - with a few new strikers and there current team they stand to do well! but even if we finished behind a few of these i wouldn't be ashamed.

Given the demands on what is a thin squad, a top eight finish and decent runs in the cups will be some achievement.

Without doubt we will have to see what our new signings are all about, but we have a good track record of late. The 3 your players we have signed, i can see playing mostly in the early rounds of cups, and the big guns in the league. Yes Chelsea have signed players with massive reputations, however they have a track record of spending huge amounts on players that don't do anything (Torres, Crespo, Schevchenko etc) so who knows. Spurs, i think, will struggle. Their team was built around Modric, he will be a massive miss.
On Arsenal, they are probably about as strong as they were last season, and may get even better if they reinvest the RVP money, however they didn't invest the Fabregas cash so again who knows (the jury is out on them).
When you look, our squad is the most settled, and with a year under their belts the players signed last year will probably only get better. HWTL.

When we finish around 10th and our Euro jaunt finishes early open you opinionated gob then
Starting the season with 4 main players out NO reinforcement in defence is asking for trouble and it will find us

Hope you are at the match tomorrow and not on your sofa

Someone forgot to take their chill pills today. I'd rather have an opinion than blindly believe anything anyone tells me. If you think we'll finish 10th etc, then that is your opinion, unlike you i won't chastise you for having a view.

For the record, i'll be there on Saturday, as i have been since first getting a season ticket in 1991.

Some fans will never be happy, we have probably got the best run club in the EPL and have still got a top class squad, its fans like the muppet who said we'd finish 10th that made previous chairmen/managers panic buy with the likes of Owen/Luque ect and nearly go bankrupt like Portsmouth!

Grow up and get behind your team!

To the muppet that was saying we would finish 10th. I told you so.
