Nufc sign unheard of goalkeeper rob Elliott from charlton, this ones broke the bank Ashleys kind of crap cheap cheap rubbish like sports direct crap

"Cheap rubbish" my backside. I bought some Titleist PROV1 golf balls from him yesterday. Best you can get. Stop griping twist face, the season is just begining....SteveToon

Exactly the season is just beginning but we still need a striker and a left back so he buys a keeper k**b

Is there any more news on sturridge since chelsea signed lukaku his chances look limited

Zzzzzzzz.......not going to happen, how were you nutters brought up, you seem completey brainless to me.

Y do ppl keep bringing this up sturridge will be going no where really starting to get annoyed with this unture saga truth be told we will be luck to bring sumone else in if no movement this week then highly doubt we will sign anyone nd this is the truth because the asking price will just go up as there is less time left to buy and we all know ma will not pay over the odds for players simple

He is 5th choice striker at a club who play with 1 up front could defo see him going somewhere?

Sturridge is far from 5th choice mate, avb sees him as the ideal partner for torres, lukaku has been brought for the future he still has a long way to go before he will start games.

He may go somewhere else on loan, but not newcastle.

Mike Ashley has told Alan Pardew 6million is to much for Pieters and he has to look for an alternative LB. Good bye Premiership, hello Championship......ASHLEY OUT

Ridgewell would be a great cheap alternative.

Ashley out? Bit harsh seems as tho hes doing an excellent job business wise. But Newcastle fans being who you are... just want random people to throw multi millions away for your 2 hours of enjoyment every weekend without a thing in return. Not even a bit respect. You belong in the bottom leagues, like rats in the sewers.

Ashley is doing it for self gain you prick, its an entertainment business

Comes to something when nyron nosworthy turns us down on a free

A good job i dont think so what, no plan b as normal, ashley is a cancer spreading through the club, he rapping the club

Funny that concidering b4 talks opened he knew about the basic cost... so very much doubt he'd say 6 million too much.. i doubt he tw@ttered either.. so p off smb

Just let them get on with what they want to do, we may go down, we may not, its obvious he has no intentions of spending money on top players or paying the wages these players or their agents are demanding, do these players want to play for us anyway if the wages are'nt there? Keep our objectives low and we wont be disappointed, we are never going to be the same club as we were 10 years ago, not under Ashley anyway so I for one will look at this season as a case of "if we stay up great" we may as well get used to it because I think as long as he owns the club basically theres not alot we can do and this will carry on every year from now. Ashley is a hard nosed businessman our comments, or Ashley out chants or anything else will just wash over him.

Hello Sunderland

We need to hit him where it hurts then, his wallet. I have never known any chairman in any league do what he is doing to the our club, it is almost like he is out to destroy us. How can he possible say Pieters is to exspensive? 30k a week is cheap, if he wont pay that he wont pay anything and i am afraid to say it isnt a case of IF we go down its a case of WHEN

{Ed042's Note - Did he say it? did anyone Directly involved in the transfer? or did a paper? If it was Mike then thats the 1st words he has spoken as regards Newcastle in a long time, seems unlikely thats the first thing he would say doesnt it?.. people should stop believing everything they read, really}

Too much for pieters?? his team came 2nd in the world cup. rates him much more than 6 mil if you ask me....

Reading reports of Forster to Celtic for a fee of around £1.5m. I personally think this is a bad move for Newcastle. I believe Forster is the best keeper at Newcastle and has a lot of potential for years to come.

Krul is very good and will get better,we have Harper as second choice and two very good keepers coming through espc Alnwick

Only gone on loan although it could be made permanent at end of the season

Haha.
Give your head a shake m8.He's just about average & thats being kind to the lad.If he was any good.he wouldn't be going back up there.

Krul will be number 1 at Newcastle for years to come UNLESS Fat Ash decides to cash in on him Forster not good enough.

Did you watch any SPL games he played in last season? 24 clean sheets in 44 matches. I wouldn't say he was average

How hard Is it to keep clean sheets for Celtic or Rangers? Davie Weir plays centre half week in week out for Rangers ffs.lol.Thats the reason Pardew was giving off.He wasn't being tested up there.

Have read in a few forums newcastle 'fans' ridiculing celtic and the scottish league over Fraser Forster transfer. Think it shows a real lack of class from supporters of a really great team

{Ed042's Note - Well said}

Erik pieters has flown to austria with psv for there Europa game on Thursday evening..

Im afraid only my club NUFC could F&%K this deal up, 1st they state one player out one in, our lb gone- 6mil the player we want 6mil half the wages win win situation for all. and watch the deal day by day go down the plug-hole , Ashley i have actually been supporting your cost cutting (within reason) but this deal even makes financial sense he's still young will have a good sell on,and the fans get someone they trust and seem to want in for the LB pos. sooner or later he will wake up and realize not every deal is gonna be a cash cow and you have to pay market value for good players..

SAGEORDIE OUT

Same i have tried to be patient and undertsanding of the policy and genuinely thought we could do alright this year if the minimum requirement was met i.e. signings in the weak areas im now becoming despondant and slightly regretting buying a season ticket i hope the pieters deal can be resurrected (heres praying)

Hearing reports today that we're not happy with the £6million asking price for Pieters. If this is true then it proves all they care about is making money. Considering this is more or less the sum we got for Jose whose wages were much higher then Pieters then surely there should be no issue in signing the lad. We don't have a proper left back at the club, we desperately need one and it seems like a straight swap with the club saving money on wages. Bridge is certainly not the answer Sometimes its hard to be a Geordie Toon Toon

Get cissokho if they want to make money in the future. 7m is cheap for a player like him tbh i prefer cissokho even though pieters can play center back. we need an attacking team to score goals.

If all the rumours are true I give up with this shower and will spend my money watching a real football team with ambition, Gateshead.

With Pieters flying out with PSV to Austria for their Europa game on Thursday night, he will almost certainly not be coming to us by Saturday. This is a joke - we already have around £6m from the sale of Enrique. This lad is a full international with one of the best nations in the world, young, and on low wages.

Just what is Ashley delaying things for??

We'll end up with flaming Perch at left back

I been saying for so long now we WILL NOT sign any one else with M.A in charge .

They are claiming the wage demand is to high.....30k a week, give your head a shake M.A n get the lad in. Its laughable the way he is running the club

On the striker front can i just say that i'm a toon fan living in Bristol and Nicky Maynard is defo worth a punt at the right price. He is small very quick and pacy and knows where to put the ball when it matters.

When are yous mugs gonna learn ?

Forster back to Celtic on loan??
i thought Pardew said the Scottish leagues don't test him enough.
Swansea were looking for a keeper, why not loan him to them.

Becuz Swansea signed 2 keepers

Havnt they got that vorm guy

Cos Swansea already signed Michel Vorm and he was the only thing that prevented Man City from being about 10-0 up at half time so i'm pretty sure their all gd for GKs.

Are you serious? Did you not watch the Swansea match the other nyt? There keeper is ten times better than that big donkey.

Swansea have a new keeper called vorm. played well on monday against city even though he conceded 4 he was probably man of match. cant see forster getting in the team ahead of him, may aswell stay here

Like it or not, we're in the relegation frame with Swansea. Why would we strengthen a rival. Think it through.......SteveToon

Like it or not, we're in the relegation frame with Swansea. Why would we strengthen a rival. Think it through.......SteveToon

Because they've signed Vorm, and i know he conceded 4 on his debut but that man stopped it from being double figures

He is coming to the 3rd biggest supported club in world football only Man Utd bigger than celtic fc in england

3rd biggest club, who's 2nd Glasgow Rangers. you live in a dream world where only 3 teams exist you woodenhead. Celtic can't even afford to pay all of Forsters wages ya plonker......Stevetoon

There is a rumour going around we are once again looking at Wayne Bridge, I just want to say we need to relax and calm down. Pieters is the one we should be signing based on age/wages/fee and i hope to hell we get him.
But if we can get City to pay some of Wayne's wages, there is no reason not to take him on loan as cover. wouldn't it be nice if we had a squad that wouldn't fold with just one injury? We need more than just one RB one LB.... ex, having a bench would be helpful.... no?

Bridge is old, injury prone, on stupid wages and above all very poor, just ask west ham fans. Where is Kadar ?

Its in this morning jornal m8 about bridge

Yeah we should take a leaf owt of sunderlands book theyve got cover all ova the pitch nd wil be even better when oshea is fit nd they are even thinkin bout bringin kranjcar in aswel , wot a signing he wud be
