Hi Ed's, Rumour is that owners of PSG are interested in buying N.U.F.C. Have you heard about this. {Ed007's Note - No.}

They wont buy us as they own psg

Why would they be intrested in buying us when they have just recently been with PSG

They can't. A person/company cannot have shared interests in two different clubs. That I think is a FIFA law, may not be worded exactly like that, but along those lines.

They own Malaga as well, so obviously they can own more than one club

I think u can own several clubs but they wouldnt own NUFC because owners that rich only like 2 have 1 really sugessful

They can but can't compete in the same league or cup competitions, so if they get uefa cup and we do one can't compete etc it won't happen anyway

Didnt roman abramovic get stopped from buying spartak or locomotive moscow a couple of years ago for the same reason? fifa and uefa both said it would cause a conflict of interests and then he was investigated for his links to one of these clubs not long after!

Qatar Investment authority was linked with aston villa not newcastle united.

Your wrong it was the toon ,someone who works out there blogged about it ,said its being widely talked about out there.Still think this one may have legs.

good news for nufc fans after BAs comments to a french media reporter! Yes he admitted he would like to play for PSG at some point in his career but then finished by saying "My first goal is Senegal and getting a good result, then I want to continue playing good games for Newcastle."

"I'm in Newcastle, fans like me, and then the transfer market will be closed when I go back, so I'm not focused on it."

source=SSN website!....spenny mag

But then he went to the cashpoint and met Harry and Harry said, come with me son and I will put even more zeros on your balance and the Ba said ok, why not !
Cash talks - can't you hear it Geordie boy ?

I thought his comment was something along the lines of I cant/wont move this window but I could see it in the summer, I would like to play in Paris.

As long as he stays till the summer so Carr has time to find another gem.

In Carr we trust... appaently he has a clause too...

Yeah his clause says he can leave if nufc ever employ his annoying son the chatty man!

Think you will find spurs could not offer him much more than newcastle could been the case if they could they would have already offered modric contract

NUFC are interested in Jelle Vossen heard he is available for around �6.5m would be a good signing if they pull it off anyone agree

Although not prolific would be great off Ba's shoulder he has pace and a keen eye for the goal fingers crossed we can get him signed asap

Vossen quick? About as fast as Ameobi going backwards!

Still, a very good deep forward to link play, would make sense now Ben Arfa is looking better off on the wing, rather than behind Ba.

HBA on the wing all day long... at the mo anyway. i like the way that Ba and Shola play together, need some decent balls into the box for them to get onto. Hate to say it but Carol would probably play well with Ba... but that aint gonna happen!!

Ed ive heard we have scouted Jordan Rhodes numerous times and are set to make a bid for the lad, you heard anything like this? {Ed001's Note - Newcastle have scouted him, yes, not heard of any imminent bid though.}

Over 20 scouts watched him friday

Seems like a lot of teams have! the lads on fire! think he is expected to move this window too!

Actually 8 scouts were at the friday match

How can anyone disagree with the post saying alot of scouts are when thats obvious and the next one says 8? some people are just total losers!

So want us to get Rhodes. However, if we don't get him this window, we won't get him at all. It is a big gamble too, if he fails at the price he will sell for, it is a big loss.

Im sure people disagree with yr comment coz you sed he is expected to move in the January window. But everyone has probably seen clarkie on ssn saying he isn't going anywhere. So not really idiots, they're just believing Huddersfields manager over you...

He is expected to move this month so the lad is right! if he wasnt hen there wouldnt be all this talk of scouts and bids would there?

Demba Ba strongly linked with a move to PSG in the summer. Quote> "PSG have a surreal recruitment drive ahead. Could you join the club?"

- Yes, why not. It's possible. I have always supported PSG. Also, it's an attractive club. However, it will be difficult in January.

PMan

Says summer... if hes gonna go...rather it abroad...

What is the source of the quote?

How would someone get this 'quote' from Ba, surely he's busy training or getting over jet lag from flights?

Quote comes from a fench newspaper. He is French really. They were interviewing regarding the french contingent in Toon and how are the getting on. PSG is his home club. I think he's gone in the summer, to PSG. We'll be luck to keep Cabaye and Tiote during summer aswell. Be interesting to see if we are going to build for the future because these 3 are probably are biggest assets.

He also goes on to say he is happy at Newcastle and the supporters love him. Newcastle have undertaken something with him and he would like to see it through to the end. IrishToon

Money talks my friend

"I think he's gone in the summer to PSG".
Do you believe everything you read and are you such a doom merchant that it only takes one article and "he's gone"?
Such wonderful positivity!

To be honest the complete nonsense that comes out of so many so called toon fans at present is bewildering. The club including Ashley is doing fantastically well at present. We are being well positioned for the Financial Fair Play and remember, the only reason Ba, Cabaye, Tiote, Collocini or Krul will leave is if they want to. If they want to, good riddance. When you are stumping up 100+ million of your own cash to finance a club then moan. At the moment, kudos Mr. Ashley. Everyone wants to be NUFC, or have a piece of NUFC. IrishToon

"such wonderful positivity...."

just putting my sense in....as a toon supporter, in a hypothetical scenario if I was a starter in Barca's squad I'd jump at the chance to join Newcastle, so I can understand Ba's sentiment. It's his team, so to speak. If he were to join spuds or liverpool or something like that, especially this month, I would be livid, but, unfortunately Ba's ability is beginning to outshine our immediate ambition. I feel we will lose him by the summer, would obviously love to be proven wrong, but it looks that way. He is an amazing talent, unreal, actually. I remember back when watching Shearer and even then never having such surety he would score as I do when I've watched Ba this season. If he does move on, so be it, let's enjoy watching him while we're graced with his presence in the meantime. Harry floppychops Redknapp is a different story altogether and I hope that thieving b***ard is put in the slammer sooner rather than later....football will be that much better without such a questionable character at its forefront

Talksport crap lads... also it is asking the player would you join the team you supported when you were younger...answer yes. do it mean he is joining... no, ok maybe.

Remember this!.....BA is scoring goals cos the team around him is supplying chances to him! Look at carroll at liverpool! he was scoring in our side but not in theirs. whose to say BA will be as prolific in another side? could be he just suits the way we play! if he was so in demand and could score more in a better side then im sure more than liverpool and PSG would be sniffing! harry redknapp has caused this by revealing it to the public domain. i honestly feel BA wont go anywhere and AP has apparently been pushing for him to sign an improved contract on his return from ACN! hope this happens! think he will stay till at least end of season though as he said he is happy here and his family have sttled well! all paper talk....spenny mag

Money talks. he maybe on at most 40k at nufc. do you think he will turn down a double your money deal. taking into account his dodgy knee and maybe a cut short career

Aparently newcastle are trying to set up a summer switch of Ba for Erding. We have been interested in him and with his lack of football he will be interested. I'm not sure if it is a trade up but erding is alot more stable in the injury department

Pardew hasn't made a single comment on the buyout clause story, so I think it's pretty safe to say that he feels it's a load of nonsense. He's an honest guy and I think he'd admit to it if it was true. Either way, Demba ba has the chance to turn this into his team, and don the famous number 9 shirt. I love the toon army and I'm pretty certain he's gunna be with us for a long time! He's clearly happy and enjoying his football, a lot more than he was at his past clubs!

Firstly..he does NOT want the number 9 shirt...he is happy with the 19 as it has a special meaning to him..secondly...There is an improved contract waiting to be signed when he comes back..it is a double your money, 60k a week deal to take him upto 2016. And it has been arranged for the past 2 month since the clubs hierachy finally realised they had a potential �20+million player on their hands.

Ba is doing very well as a stand-in until we get a proper striker on board.
