I doubt this is true but according to a couple of reports Anzhi have offered us Samuel Eto'o for just £5 million. There may be some truth in this as they're trying to sell a lot of the bigger name players such as Eto'o and Willian as they're trying to cut their huge wage bill. If this is true I'd happily take him on a 2-3 year contract, he's getting on but he's still a good striker and it wouldn't hurt to get the few extra goals he'd grab us. The thing is I'm not sure he'd be willing to take the pay cut from £350k per week at Anzhi to let's say about £40k-£45k per week max here.

I don't think he'll take that much of a pay cut. Why not go for Willian?

He is out of contract at the end of the season, and he is not going to take a pay cut of that size until his contract is out.

He is a lifelong supporter of the toon so why not?ha ha.

Well he does know Steven Taylor so maybe he can convince him to join.

"Why not go for Willian?"
Because he'd cost £30 million, have astronomical wages and Chelsea are apparently wanting him. All those things together means no Willian for us. (would be a good buy if we could though)

That first post must have been the most comical I have seen on here eto for 5 mill

Its not £5 million They have offered him round for a nominal fee to get him of the wage bill. The Anzi owner wants to concentrate on youth and reduce the clubs wage bill.

Derek Llambis talked about administration to carry favor for Ashley with the fans that were giving him abuse. This was after we were relegated with Ashley at the helm.

I just posted what the report said. Admittedly it was in the metro so you know not exactly a credible source of information. However he is 32 and they are wanting to get rid of him so those two factors combined could mean a low (ish) price.

Anzhi won't exactly be looking for profit for willian

The fee is thought to be around £5 million according to the report

Cest les vie

Joe kinnear is best mates with him of course he would go to you lot! eto, rooney, pato?? your fans are deluded big time!! just another note eto is on £350,000 at anzhi

Not that I think for one second he'll sign us, but, he's gunna have to that sort of pay cut if they want rid of him because there not many teams that wanna fork out more than even 100k per week

At this point in Eto's career wages won't be his priority. He is already a multi millionaire, so how long and where he plays are going to most important. Really don't think he will expect to get anywhere near what he is getting now at a team based in Europe.
He will probs take a big pay cut to go to a good team playing in a good league. Look at Drogba now in Turkey.
So I don't think his wage demands would be an issue just up to him which team/country he wants to play in.

This could be true. but Eto is the HIGHEST PAID FOOTBALLER on the PLANET!

£320,000 a week. i'm sure we can match that!


Blaaaaa more total rubbish!

according to Newcastle blog site Bafi Gomis`s agents are holding up the transfer to Toon, can't Gomis just say sort this out by tomorrow or I find new agents. and how is it plural why can't he just have an agent.

Joe, mike and Alan if you care
And want us to care get us a striker
And winger and a centre back
I can't make it any plainer

We need them

If gomis really wants to come
Get on a plane
With your agent/s
Get here
Thrash out a deal
Have a medical
And make it happen.

If not its just so u stay where u are

Why are we not looking at the eravadasie Dutch league as I thought we were for striker? Winger or a centre back
Also
What about championship
Surely worth a punt on say Jordan rhodes
Or the lad from Watford or one or two decent players for derby, Brighton or are we too concerned just with France
Surely there must be a jem or 2 in the lower leagues we can unearth

He will have a contract with his agents. Or maybe he's hoping a bigger club comes in for him.

A gem even

I really want us to sign Brown Ideye, he has expressed a massive interest in joining us. He is quoted saying this about newcastle "They have a good fan-base and play an attacking style of football. He has good knowledge of the club and of the Premier League. Brown would love to test himself at that level. "

i would much prefer a player with this sort of attitude then bafetimbi gomis, and in my opinion he is a better all round player. He would also be slightly cheaper and he is younger at 24. His scoring record in Kyiv is 29 in 57 which is exceptional

I would say he had a very poor knowledge of the cub if he thinks we play attacking football

What use is another ACON player. we will loose him jan and feb, so we will be down our two strikers for upwards of 2 months? I have never understood going for players who leave for that long of a period during a crucial time in the season. what's swansea going to do when Bony leaves for the ivory coast? Gomis to me fits perfect for the premleague and newcastle!
