its doyle,thats who there sniffing round, oh my lord

He's better than what we have and a proven prem goal scorer

Perfect 1st reply

I agree with that, but it was a wind up.

Hope so, hes the most under rated striker in the prem

No point in starting a rumour about anyone over 25 years of age because we already know its not true.

No point in starting a rumour about anybody who would cost money or demand more than minimum wage cos we already know its not true.

No point at all since we have no intention of signing anybody. Problem is who is next to go and then have a dig at the club.

Kevin the doyle haha

any truth in the suggestion Smith would be offered in exchange for Nicky Maynard?

That would be a great idea maynard is a great talent and look a natural goal scorer worth a punt me thinks

Unlikely smith will want to leave, he's on a nice 60k a week, and barely plays.

ED is there anytruth we are linked with bryan ruiz

Most likely Ruiz will end up at fulham , The bin dippers were interested at one time.

Former teammate of Cheick isn't he? Good scoring record in Belgium and Holland, and young enough.

Spurs and Fulham are interested though, and today he's said he'd welcome a move to Craven Cottage.

any news on any GOOD strikers Ed?

{Ed042's Note - Yes, Chelsea have signed Lukaku and Aguero looks the business.. sorry mate nothing before the mackem game on a striker, its grand though, Shola is all set for part one of his two moments in the sun of the season}

Haha do you think we will sign any strikers by the end of the window

just read pardew saying he will use the 5.5mil? from jose and increase our bid for LB Pieters to 7mil which is what PSV said they wanted from the start. If true and that is a big if Common sence has finally prevailed.

Just been told that Nicky Maynard is on his way to newcastle for a medical in a £5 million move to be completed Friday

If this happened he would be our equivalent to Cameron Jerome. Aka turd.

Great.. Championship football again next season

"Just been told" also known as JUST MADE UP. If they were spending£5M it wouldn't be on Maynard....SteveToon

"just been told" is how rumours get spread and how we get to know so not all "just been told" are made up steve. You always have a go at people who post. Not good mate Argue with people elsewhere

Have to say am a fan of maynards do not know y we dont go for him yeah no prem exp put not like we would be pay 8 mil plus add ons like smb for him about 3-4 but 5 mil noway would be worth a shout cos he has got some skill this boy ed wat you think

There seems to be a lot of talk in Bristol about maynard going to Newcastle

Okay NegHeads are you familiar with the phrase "greater than the sum of its parts" He might be unproven in the premiership but it's wether he works well in a partnership with a bigger stronger striker.

You all slated the possible signing of Long saying no prem experience and as soon as he scores on his debut against man who your all shouting why didnt we sign him - shut up and support the team or at least what little we have left of one

You lot haven't got two pennies to rub together man

^^^bit like you and brain cells then^^^
I would be happy with anyone in at the min

Toon fan living in Bristol here. Cant tell you guys if Maynard story is true but can tell you he is a quality player who seems to find scoring easy.Really hope this is true think you will be pleasantly surprised how well he would fit in, small and pacy ,perfect striker scores for fun.

This guy looks quality.Low wages aswell.
So probably true.lol

Brain cells, something which the majority of idiots don't seem to have when posting childish schoolboy rumours. What happened to all the big summer signings with the £35 million and the striker and lb wh were promised before saturday? That is why people call you deluded

I personally would be really happy if we sign maynard as i think him and Best or Ba would be a great Partnership as hes clinical and can create from nothing too as well as being good and pacy + i think £5 mil would be a fair price for all concerned which means ashley will baulk and offer £2.5mil

Andy cole and super mac came from lower league would be nice to have a hatrick

To the anon poster who accuses me of being pedantic. Rumours need to be substantiated FFS. You can't just say "just heard". Whenever I've posted rumours I've named my source. All my rumours proved been correct or in process of happening. Including Forster & Harper going, and telling you all for the whole summer that N'Zog wouldn't be coming.....SteveToon

I honestly wouldn't pay him 5 pence to sign on. What is the point? We've already got a ton of useless strikers.

NE61Mag

Pardew has confirmed only today hes in advanced talks with Maiga so doubt that

This lad is a good player scoring goals all the time in the championship which is of the same standard as the french league where we seem to be shopping and it would be nice to have more british players in our team Support the toon know matter what

You are pedantic If a rumour was substantiated then it would be a fact and not a rumour "just heard" is the substance of rumours therefore you can say just heard or otherwise it should be reported as a fact and im not anon for any other reason than my ego doesnt need massaging if the rumour ends up as true.....JKM,Spenny

So wre did you hear it bud, at the club maybe......SteveToon

getting increasingly frustrated with the lack of transfer activity on the last few days. Any news on potential arrivals?

Its coz that Fat greddy T**T we have as an owner won't put his hands in his pockets.... The Fat controller has no ambition... At this rate we'll be lucky to survive relegation nevermind finish in the top 10... bring back Freddy Shepard... All is forgiven

{Ed042's Note - Haha and the award for most ridiculous statement of the morning goes to... understand the frustration mate even if I dont agree with parts of it, but bring back Freddie Shepherd? we wouldnt have a club to support if he had continued running the show}

Rob Elliot, the 25 Year old goalkeeper, is set to sign from Charlton Athletic for a nominal fee today.

Nice to see we have our priorities sorted out...

I know i'm gonna get stick for this and, believe me, I do love NUFC and have supported them for 34 years BUT..... The fat controller as people call him has, in all honesty, stuck his hand in his own pocket quite a few times for Newcastle, and the note from ED is correct, where would we have been if Freddy was still in charge? Far worse, i think.

I would like to see new signings as much as the next NUFC fan, but I honestly dont see much happening in the next couple of weeks. I can also understand the frustration for us supporters, we want to see the new signings, we know whats needed at our club, but until new owners come in, or the club is steadied completely, i'm afraid it's just not gonna happen.

Let's all try getting behind the team eh? we've the Mackems coming up, and as much as I hate to admit it, it's gonna be a close one.... Lets all pull together, support the Lads and be that "extra signing" we all crave.....

I'd rather be in our shoes rather than Evertons

It's not as if Cashley is skint. I thought he was a businessman. Surely a bit more money now (in his terms) on a quality LB and a striker will pay for themselves in the long-run.

If he wasn't prepared to make the investments and at least try to keep within sight of the more successful clubs, why buy a premiership football team in the first place? Why not sell to some fat cat who can give us fans what we deserve?

Sick of all of these "he's trying to run it like a business" excuses. Bollocks. NUFC could be a potential gold mine to any owner. He just doesn't have a clue about football.

I havent got a problem with Ashley running the club as a business but lets not forget we have support the club during his regime through thick and thin. More importantly, lets also remember the many false promises of reinvesting the Carroll money and only last week both Pardew and Lardarse assured us of new signings. They are a disgrace

And Freddy Sheppard did have a clue about business did he ? A man that ran our club into massive debts that nearly crippled us? A man that paid 17m for sick note michael owen and then let him walk for a free ?

Yup we were much better off then .....

And i bet you are a multi-millionaire also by that comment, you stick your hand in your pocket and invest some cash.....

Just a though, did anyone stop to think that they might actually be trying to bring players in, to be fair to ashley & co, they have brought in 5 decent players and if you include ben arfa and gosling that's 7 players for an overall transfer fee of around 15 mil not including wages, i think they are trying to bring players in but clearly they don't want to break the bank, and whats wrong with that.

anyone else agree with what i've said?

Not really
they cant be bothered spend some any money on decent players so we will just keep bringing in players from lower leauges
WE VE HAD 8 MONTHS TO GET A DECENT STRIKER AND I STILL DONT SEE ONE

I do. I was thinking about the peiters scenario, is 6 mil too much for someone who hasn't played in the Premier league? If we can pick up Tiote from the dutch league just after he played in the world cup, why should we spend more than double that to bring in a left back. I don't think he would have the impact tiote had. But then he might. If it was Football Manager I would probably pay the money, but it isn't. Doesn't stop it being incredibly frustrating, but still better than getting Man Utd rejects.

I'm all for not breaking the bank and paying silly money but come on we really are in dire need of a LB and striker any fool can see that. If they are really trying far enough but if there is a sound reason for not bringing them in all we ask is they talk to us without lying and taking us for mugs.Just watched Pards on sky sport giving a press conference all the same waffle as normal no new info and no assurances that Barton will stay either , why bother if there's nothing new or positive to say.

Personally I think pardew is messing you about, you might be linked with these decent names but it seems you are putting in poor offers, I think he is just doing it to keep you lot abit quiet and at the end will just get someone cheap in and you will be left disapointed, honest opinion think of it what you will

"And i bet you are a multi-millionaire also by that comment, you stick your hand in your pocket and invest some cash....."

Correct. I'm not Mike Ashley, a billionaire and would never even pretend to be. I don't buy football clubs. You're happy with the current state of NUFC? What a fan.

Peter Beardsley was left "very, very impressed" by Sylvain Marveaux's performance as he scored one and set up two in Newcastle's 5-0 practice match win over Gateshead.

Situ the trialist CB scored 2 Ranger and Vuckic with the others id say get Situ signed up big strong youth international def one for the Near future

Impressed now why did we sign him if it takes a game against a tesco 11 to show what he can do....

Impressed now why did we sign him if it takes a game against a tesco 11 to show what he can do....

to be fair hes another one we brought in coming off long term injuries and if its to be steady as she goes and we end up with a solid player then fine by me.... can share your frustration though mate,,

" Newcastle's 5-0 practice match win over Gateshead ".

Gateshead stick lionel messi against them and he would of had 20 goals
