newcastle are interested in gabriel obertan, not is bad player and has good future
who tink?
Believable18
Unbelievable5
He is a load of s**t but thats what fat bloke want cheap s**t
Agree0
Disagree0
Point is hell be about £3mil and with a premier league season under his belt (1 where he actually plays) hell be worth about £6mil personally hes better than Routledge +has a point to prove so why not we do need numbers and a RW is one especially
Agree0
Disagree0
And you have ago at us for getting man utd fringe players. bloody hypocrites, Obertan is sh*te, at least O'shea and Brown got a few games for Man Utd
Agree0
Disagree0
Obertan ain't old though
Agree0
Disagree0
Obertan has played more games than brown over the last few years and man u have better competition on the wings than in defence so who is better 32 brown or 22 obertan
Agree0
Disagree0
Obertan is a very skillfull and talented player, He is not getting in the Man Utd team because they have about 6 wingers fighting for 2 places, Only 22 and could be quite brilliant given a run of 5 or 6 games. He never got a chance at Man Utd, They expect someone to come off the bench and be a instant hit or they are let go.
Agree0
Disagree0
Hypocrites
Agree0

Its down to the age of the players... do you understand? a younger player can play for longer & in Ashleys point of view, have a sell on value..
Why do you even look, or comment on NUFC rumours anyway? couldnt care what you mackems do. obsessed with us as per usual.

You lot dont post on our site do you?

Hi ed is tiote back in the uk yet.
{Ed042's Note - Not as yet, still awaiting visa, can take up to three weeks, will miss the Fiorentina game but should be back for opener against Arsenal}

Get a life, if your going to make something up at least make it credible

BETTER NOT BE SELLING HIM FAT MAN BUT WOULDNT PUT ANYTHING PAST HIM
Agree0

Al bet u £1000 up front now he's not pls put ur money where ur mouth is al even give u my details to if u agree on this bet if ur so sure
Agree0

Tiote us going no were he has even said it himself so stop posting crap I bet this guy who wrote this crap £500000 he be at the toon
Agree0

NO ITS TRUE HE ISN'T IN GHANA ITS JUST A SMOKESCREEN FOR MIKE ASHLEY'S EVIL CONSPIRACY HE'S BEING SOLD. I'M WRITING THIS IN ALL CAPS WHICH MEANS ITS DEFINITELY TRUE.
Agree0

If you would have said 42 million it would have been half believable
Agree0

Even chelsea wont pay that type of money if ye said 10mill then i would have believed it but 22 no way unless its liverpool his meeting
Agree0

Just don't bite to these SMB post's, they're obviously obsessed with us. ALWAYS IN OUR SHADOW
Agree0

Liverpool would have paid at least £60m.
Agree0

Liverpool would have paid £100 million.
Abramovich would have sold his yacht and chucked in Torres and Van Aanholt.
You heard it here first.
Agree0
Disagree0
And ashley would keep the lot
Agree0
Disagree0
Has anyone taken a second to think that perhaps Tiote is in Ghana dealing with a personal (family) issue, and doesn't want his personal life splashed all over the news. So this 'visa' issue has been told to the public.
Just a thought, but it would make sense, seeing as he left England for the states with no visa issue and then it suddenly it becomes a problem. In addition there is no word from the team regarding a date when he will return.... again just a thought, but would explain a
lot.
Agree0
Disagree0
He is valued at 15m, but good news if he is sold, more money for agent ashley to spend down the casino and in greggs
Agree0
Disagree0
Tiotes family are in Ivory Coast plus Llambias is in Ghana trying to sort it out.

Barton isn't staying, too much bad between him and the board. He will be sold as soon as somebody offers him the wages and contract he wants
Agree0

Is that Sturridge? Unfortunatey barton will stay because no other club is stupid enough to take on his circus and antics.
Agree0

I wish Caps Lock made things more true...
Agree0

Sold?
Cant even give him away.
Agree0

Nobody would touch barton with a bargepole when your brought up with scum you are scum him and his family he should have been sacked when he went to jail necastle united dont deserve this
Agree0
Disagree0
Why are Sunderland fans posing at Newcastle fans spouting their jealousy about Barton? Shame noone is the red and white stripes plays for the shirt and you have a Newcastle fan as manager, haha.
Agree0
Disagree0
Because it's written in caps, This must be true............ not.
Agree0
Disagree0
Can't understand the massive turnaround towards Barton ok he screwed but said only what everyone else wanted too
Don't agree. With how he done but I for one think some comments are just hypocritical same people were chanting his name for the last two seasons
Agree0

CAPS ARE GOOD
BARTON STAYING

Newcastle to bid £5m for Bursaspor forward Surcan Yildirim

I really hope they buy him because when I was Newcastle in Football Manager this guy scored an amazing amount of goals and led the team to the premier league title :)

I certainly hope this is true. Would not make up for flogging all the experienced players, but would show some ambition. More so than Cameron Jerome.

Barnetta has been offered £40k/wk as part of £4million deal. Deal accepted but terms need vastly improving. No new striker will arrive before start of season, Pardew will play lone striker.
Believable22
Unbelievable23
Barnetta gents states not a hope in hell
Agree0
Disagree0
I guess you meant agent? And what he actually said was not at that wage.
Agree0
Disagree0
Tell his agent thats it ,take it leave it.
£2million/year is good pay.
Agree0
Disagree0
Can't really say take it or leave it like we're doing them a favour.. It is less than he is currently on after all.
Also his agent said there isn't a hope in hell of us getting him on 40k per week... Not in general.
Agree0
Disagree0
It isn,t a favour the Agent gave the game away whenhe would play at other clubs for less than £40k
Agree0
Disagree0
Barnetta is NOT coming here...end of. He is bigger than our club...in fact, with the cicus that is Newcastle United...most players are bigger than our club.
Agree0
Disagree0
Actually he would come here if we paid him the wages he's on now.
There is a reason he'd go to teams like Arsenal for £40k per week too. Arsenal are in the CL. He has that at Leverkusen, but if he's going to leave for a club who is not playing in Europe he loses out in tat way, therefore he wants it made up for in another way. Simple as really.

With the lack of movement on a striker, I've heard that Newcastle will re-sign Shefki Kuqi on a short term deal until January when the winter transfer window opens.
Believable15

Dunno where you heard that but take it back to the wheelie bin you found it in m8

All I have to say on that is. NOT A CHANCE.

Sad, just very sad, and I don't mean kuqi
Agree0

Shefti 'the three legged polar bear' kuqi number 9
Agree0

I don't want to believe it. But wouldn't put it past Ashley being a tight ass with his wallet.
Agree0
Disagree0
A mackem posted this for giggles, what they dont understand that is despite being what nearly 40 kuqi is faster than both there new defenders in Brown and O'shea and there first teamers so LOL
Agree0
Disagree0
I bet Shefki could score more than 9 in the Championship.
Agree0

Mackems are good for a laugh sometimes.

Ed any idea who are striker target is now that we've missed out on Gameiro, Gervinho and Erdinc?
I think Shane Long could be a decent option but people are now saying we are not intersted in him.
Believable13
Unbelievable3
{Ed042's Note - We are still, wont pay 7mil for him though, cash plus swap still a possibility.. apart from that striker targets are said to be Beckford, who we tried to sign twice before Everton did.. Jerome, again cash plus swap rumoured, Ranger going the other way.. and finally Crouch, cant see this being true though}

All of them wouldn't add anything if jerome comes im never going to see nufc again

pardew to walk out due to dressing room unrest. Ketsbaia to return as manager. Amdy faye free transfer to replace Leeds bound alan smith. Xisco to get more prominent role in first team as struggling to get new striker.
Believable18
Unbelievable36
Daft mackam Haha get a life
Agree0
Disagree0
I believe with the lack of movement in the transfer market xisco will get more of an chance this season aswell as sammy ameobi getting to partnership with demba ba as he has preformed well during pre season
Agree0
Disagree0
Xisco will be shipped out on loan to free up wages but I agree Ferguson vuckic nd Sam ameobi could do the job this year
Agree0

Hehe... Keep trying mackem, if you wish enough it might come true?
Agree0

Yeah. like all you sgb's wished for a billionaire to take over. he did and you still not happy ha ha ha mad max

Unfortunately mad max, our owner is not a billionaire. Do they not teach maths on the wear?
Agree0

Mike Ashley is a billionaire just a tight arsed one.

Why do makams read nufc rumors. the last thing i would want to do is read about them, guess they all secretly want to be geordies.
Agree0

All Mackems like reading bout the biggest northern club, that's why they come and visit and leave childish comments
Next Mackem to come on here, just remember ya managers a Geordie and OUR favorite all time Mackem manager- Big Lawire Mc is a Geordie too he he he SMB's-- FACT
Agree0
Disagree0
Sammy for number 9
Agree0
Disagree0
It does seem that the mackems have a bit of a penis envy about NUFC... Perhaps its the anger of knowing that no matter what, they will always be seen as No.2
Agree0
Disagree0
Would love to see Ketsbia return to the club as manager. He was an absolute nutter. Last I heard he'd be done in his home country for firing a rifle into crowd...
Agree0
Disagree0
Ashley was worth 750 million last time I checked.. That is not a billion.
{Ed042's Note - Approx. 1.3 billion last count, largely tied up though, not as if its sitting in his sky rocket}
Agree0

Mackem bell end, dont ye have yer own websites?

"Leeds bound Alan Smith" you serious?? thought that was dead (please please please let him go to lufc)
Agree0

Who is the number 1 club in thw N.E. Middlesbrough?
We finished just above you last season. Are we talking fact or history.

He isn't a fringe player as he plays quite often and he still has alot to learn he is skillfull and i'd say he is better than jonas wes brown n john o'shea go back to ure hole SMB
Agree0
Disagree0
Has a great track record capped at every age level from 16 to 21.
Age 22 two footed ,plays left or right side 6foot 1. Had enough of Man Utd and has ambitions to show what he can do.
Get him on loan now
Agree0

No end product at all from what I've seen though.
Agree0

Everybody thought sturridge was absolutely s**t when he was on the fringes at Chelsea and at Man city. Then with regular football he became immense. Obertan hasnt got a sniff of a first team chance at United so who knows. He could prove us all wriong

Agree0

He's nowt special but SAF mustve seen something so hopefully if its true something may spurr him on.. id rather have him than nowt.. in our position a bigger squad is what we need. regardless of its in depth quality :(

I doubt that anyone at either the Chronicle or Journal know any more than we do on what goes on behind the scenes at St James these days. They roll out the same stories every day, as the club throw them the odd bit of PR every now and then. So would rate this comment in the bobbins section.

Better clubs who can afford his wage demands are interested in him

Barnett-no
Following reports in Thursday's morning papers that Newcastle would look to complete the signing of Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Tranquilo Barnetta, the player's representative has ridiculed their current offer:
Barry McIntosh told Sky Sports:
"As it stands there is not a hope in hell that he will be going to Newcastle. In fact I am angry at their attempts to do it, and behind my back also.
"They have made an approach, but their offer equates to somewhere in the region of £40,000-a-week - which is just ridiculous.
"Why on earth would Tranquilo move to Newcastle for less money? No offence to Newcastle, he would possibly consider going to Arsenal, Liverpool even Tottenham for less - but not Newcastle.
"They have known all along, what it would take to land Barnetta and what he is earning now, and this sort of offer really does border on ridiculous."
Agree0
Disagree0
It's hardly surprising that we'd offer less than he's on now...I seriously doubt that the intention to sign him is there.
Obertan would now appear the more likely target seeing as he's on the fringes at Man United, though personally I don't rate him.

Did anyone else think reply from barnetta's agent was quite disrespectful?
Agree0

Yes, very disrespectful. I mean by all means reject a deal that is less than you are currently getting. But don't go shouting and screaming to the press about it..
Agree0
Disagree0
I smell an agent trying to create interest in his client I have not heard the slightest mention of Bartons name from any Celtic official and the stories seem to be coming from south of the border. Celtic do not need another midfielder and frankly wouldnt pay stupid wages for an average player and a ned to go with it.
Wouldnt touch Barton with a bargepole, he will end up at Stoke or West Ham if hes lucky

Barton to Arsenal by the look of it, his true fans need to read between the lines though, if you have had him on twitter a while you will know, I used to love the bloke but ive spotted his slip ups, hope you will all see it soon, also funny how he didnt get cpt he started kicking off, he was annoyed he didnt get it it was obvious, hes had one good season with average players he wont keep up in top half coz theres better players than him that play great footie week in week out year after year.
