Pieters to put pen to paper on NUFC contract by Wednesday night - Mobido Maiga 70/30 to sign when new official bid by toon has been lodged also waiting on UEFA decision about 'tapping up' the 23 year old Sochaux striker.

Believable14 Unbelievable10

Both them deals wont happen.

Agree0 Disagree0

*Both of those

Agree0 Disagree0

Not so sure about the maiga deal, seems to look pretty positive lately on the pieters situation though ssn website say pieters would like move to premier league just waiting on official bid. PSV say there is nothing they can really do if correct offer is made. He seemed solid in their recent 3-0 win.

Agree0 Disagree0

STOP EVERYONE, mike ashley is on this site definitive information from this bloke posting.................... shaddap, no one knows whats going to happen until its done, as has been proved already this window, lets just wait and see instead of ruling things in and out at this relatively early stage, considering how much business is done towards the end of the window

Agree0 Disagree0

We could have had pieters on wednesday night if the bloody board would stump up a decent fee.. but im not so sure they will..

SAGEORDIE OUT

Agree0 Disagree0

Stop your bitchin This is a RUMOURS site. Otherwise it would be called www.newcastledefinatetransferhappeningsnobull.co.uk

Agree0 Disagree0

What a ridiculous posting. Total fabrication. We havent even agreed a deal with PSV or Sochaux. Ashley reluctant to pay up

Agree0 Disagree0

It was pieters and toivanan that were last weeks done deals

Agree0 Disagree0

Why do people still moan about.. only ashley n club officials know about deals... YEAH OBVIOUSLY... thtas why its a rumours site...

Agree0 Disagree0

Yep agree rumour site... not facts nowt set in concrete rumours speculation...

Agree0 Disagree0

No chance..probs get Bernard on a free again,last minute.com as usual...see whos left and snap them up,like buying xmas cards in jan..doesnt make sense

NEWCASLE HAVE FINALLY SIGNED A STRIKER :D
17 year old Johnathon Hooper

Believable14 Unbelievable5

Sorry but we signed him last week and was on trial 2 weeks before that, scored a Hat-Trick on his u18 debut against Chelsea

Agree0 Disagree0

Not bad, what's he like i.e. how tall, good finisher etc

Agree0 Disagree0

Y do ppl disagree with this post when its the truth

{Ed042's Note - Haha yeah. One correction for earlier reply. Chelsea game was his 2nd, and he scored two goals. Debut was last week and he got the hat-trick. 5 in 2 games, fair play to the lad}

Agree0 Disagree0

Signed from where?

Agree0 Disagree0

JJ Hooper is said to be quick, he's 6 ft 1 and has a good first touch.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wouldlike is to take a gambell on Pat McCourt? I think he is a very good player very skillfull and has a good left and right peg on him and has pace. Dont leave comments saying oh he is crap, he cant get on for celtic, reson being neil lennon wont give him a chane. HE would not cost very much either, I say £2m would maybe get him or even £3m Blackpool were interested, he needs a chance and we bought obertan and he never played for united and we are giving him a chance adn its a risk to with orbetan Ed what do You think? {Ed007's Note - The problem with Paddy is his consistency and his fitness. There is no doubting his talent but he comes on for CFC late on in matches and is against tired players. He did recently get married and has gave some good interviews about wanting to push for a first team start so maybe he has matured to apply himself better. There was a story that he had handed in a transfer request over the weekend, if he leaves though as far as I know Blackpool will be his destination.}

Believable4 Unbelievable6

Paddy McCourt is an absalute genius with the ball at his feet, class with both feet should be at a bigger/better club than Celtic, Lennon is mental for not playing him enough

Agree0 Disagree0

Saw him play against Faroe Islands, awesome. Irish messi. lol. But in all seriousness he has got wicked potential. How old is he?

Agree0 Disagree0

He is only 27

Agree0 Disagree0

Hes not just crap, he's older than the moon

Agree0 Disagree0

How's he old u person he still young

Agree0 Disagree0

Scoring a good goal against the Faroe islands isnt anything to shout about and not getting a run in the team at Man Utd but being a regular top international at all youth levels for France and only 23 is a lot different to Not getting a game for Celtic.

Agree0 Disagree0

toon linked with a move for caen starlet m'baye niang

Believable7 Unbelievable7

Would be class signing but Real Madrid, Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool all want him aswel so will never happen especially for £10million even though he's 16yrs old Ashley will not pay that

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Aug 2011 15:52:36
owt about any players coming in.ED or is it another week of no movement...geordie tom

{Ed042's Note - Its Monday lad relax ha. From mid week on there should be significant confirmation as regards targets. Pardew was in holland with Pieters agent watching PSV yesterday. Thats the latest that isnt made up}

Believable14 Unbelievable0

Cheers again Ed m8 iam relaxed...but still did'nt like being called a vent the other night lmfao ...geordie tom

Agree0 Disagree0

Blimey Ed its alright you telling us all to relax cause its only monday but we been waiting 7 months for a striker and have known we needed a L.B probs since feb. All this stress and speculation is playin havoc with my bowels

Agree0 Disagree0

U can't say "i've been waiting for 7 months" cause for 4 of those months, it's impossible to buy anyone.
But i understand the frustration.

Agree0 Disagree0

Your bowels m8 just ate a load of boiled eggs tried a cork blew it straight out pmsl

Agree0 Disagree0

In the hope that M.A may read this GET NICKY MAYNARD B4 ITS TOO LATE FFS. There rant over thank you.

There's a few rumour pages on various Social Networking sites mentioning the name Robert Lewandowski from Borussia Dortmund being subject to a toon bid soon. Any truth in this or a load of rubbish?

Believable4 Unbelievable15

Hes not a prolific scorer 8 in 33 apps according to the stats, ideal figures i would like to see are more around the 16 - 20 mark unless our M.F guys are gonna chip in with plenty like Nolan used to.

Agree0 Disagree0

He's constantly scoring goals against me in FIFA and is usually a high scorer. I know it's just FIFA, but I've discovered some greats on their before they became slightly well known ie Llorente, Ruiz, subotic, and even hazard. Saying that though dortmound are in CL and were top have the highly respected bundesliga so doubt he'll come to a middle table epl team, who might get into Europe in under 5 years.

Agree0 Disagree0

A load of rubbish

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed, do u know anything about him? is he better than maiga?

{Ed042's Note - Dont know enough about either to say tbh mate, more of an out and out striker than Maiga, both good in the air, both good on either foot, Lewandowski more of a goal poacher/in the box finisher where Maiga is a winger come striker type player, both decent players and okay scoring records but would need to develop as players at Newcastle to be considered 15 to 20 goal a season strikers imo.. anyway I havnt been able to find anything of substance on the rumour yet so irrelevant how good he is for the moment I guess}

Agree0 Disagree0

He is really fast i mean quick he is a striker but plays as a winger for Borussia blackburn wanted to sign him 2 years ago. also lewandowski's accelaration on fifa is 90

Agree0 Disagree0

Quality striker and far better than anyone we have at the moment. He's fast and has a great touch for a big man. Come on Mike show some ambition and sign him up

Agree0 Disagree0

He would be a great player, he just won the league in germany and has champions league football, saying that lillie won the league and have champions league football, and cabaye and gervinho have left them would be a good signing but lets face it, its anit happening

Agree0 Disagree0

magpies to sign suuley muntari for £3m on a 4-year deal

Believable12 Unbelievable23

Nope...never heard of him

Agree0 Disagree0

He played for the scum last season, all he can do is belt a ball and kick people

Agree0 Disagree0

For gods sake ,really...

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah - of course we are

Agree0 Disagree0

Apart from the fact that he is about 27 and would ask for wages of 60k+. not going to happen. plus we wont sign any more midefeilders

Agree0 Disagree0

Good one SMB, p.s. we were awful and still beat you lot, suppose that means you have to resort to things like this, anything to make yourselves feel better eh :)

Agree0 Disagree0

If we were interested it would mean a midfielder leaving hope not i like our midfield ,probs already have to many thou

Agree0 Disagree0

Sochaux are to report Newcastle to UEFA over an illegal approach for striker Modibo Maiga - SSN

Believable25 Unbelievable7

Good hopefully this will mean we do not sign him, don't rate him.

Agree0 Disagree0

Well, unless you are chief scout Graham Carr, that dosnt count for much does it? Have you ever seen him play outside your playstation?

Agree0 Disagree0

Great just when you think things cant get any more farcical , hes gonna have to be some player to justify A. the hassle and B.the price tag now. FED UP.

Agree0 Disagree0

Easy tiger, why the verbal attack a you a SMB in disgiuse hoping we buy this over rated, petulant child from Sochaux? Does that mean there is no point anyone other than Graham Carr posting opinions on here?

Agree0 Disagree0

We must be copying LFC they definitley tapped Jose and AC.Of course you can't touch the untouchables,so we are once again have to be the whipping boys for what goes on all the time.
Leave him there and they can have the problem of a non committed player.

Agree0 Disagree0

Newcastle hope to strike a either by end of day or tommorow on pieters 6.5 million on 4 year deal - the maiaga 1 is almost complete but there board holding out for 10 million newcastle saying 8.5mil (9 million comprimise will be made) if not done on friday it will be touch and go by next wednesday as newcastle want it done by weekend if not turn attention to other targets, bendtner and lesser targets such as macheda and even bellamy is been mentioned around the club.

ranger will go on loan to birmingham, and still looking at maybe moving on simpson as attitude to contract not pleasing the board Barton will stay - however i dont have a clue what will happen next season with him.

Reliable source .

Believable14 Unbelievable12

Who is your so called reliable source?

Agree0 Disagree0

How do you know all this? , Still not keen on Maiga would prefer Maynard cheaper too.

Agree0 Disagree0

Agreed Maiga is over rated and no pace and will be missing for the African Cup.
I'd rather an experienced striker with EPL experience but I doubt we'll get one.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think Simpson has bigger things to think about than a contract which still has time to run, having just had a child 4 or 5 weeks ago

Agree0 Disagree0

Our strikeforce will look class shola, maiga and ba. it'll be retarded triplets

Agree0 Disagree0

(NUFC4LIFE)

Believable18 Unbelievable7

You must be crazy if you think Ashley is going to part with £10 million for any player let alone a striker with a dubious record

Agree0 Disagree0

Zarate is a class player. So much so that Cashley wouldnt pay.

Agree0 Disagree0

Zarate is a good player, but as a second striker, not necessarily the player we need to lead the line.

His goalscoring record isn't great - we need someone more prolific.

Agree0 Disagree0

Can't see this being true, but zarate is a league above anything we have at the moment

Agree0 Disagree0

Mobido Maiga missed Sochaux’s game at Nancy yesterday citing an ankle injury (Sound suspicious?). Erik Pieters and M'Bengue back in frame for left back position.

Believable6 Unbelievable2

I heard Maiga missing the game due to illness (apparently)
