CSKA are the latest club to be linked with a move for Salomon Rondon, although the player himself has said that he is excited about what Malaga can achieve with new owners and also that the Spanish league is the best in the world.. looks like this one may be dead if it was ever a possibility

Yeah blackburn looking at honda from cska probs need replacement..honda was class in world cup woulnt mind him here

Honda is too good for Blackburn, I'm surprised they can afford him.

Apparently only 7m

Rondon is class and would be No 9. He'd stay longer than Carol anyway.

BREAKING NEWS ON NEWSNOW
Newcastle agree fee for Fernando LLorente 6ft7 spanish international striker from athletico bilbao i think.
Seen him play a few times awesome player

Just looked on news now and your talking poo

Wants point in making rumours like this?

Nothing on that website about this lies you fool from pennywell

Well say a source for ya rumour if thers nothing on newsnow to confirm it also hea like 6ft4 or 5 not that big like

Llorente has a buy out clause of between 30 million and 50 million. Not gonna happen.

Why do 6 people agree?

The liars got six computers

Barca and Real have been tracking Llorentes progress. There is no chance.

Didn't think we were going for target men.
we need speedy strikers

I think its more like him going to spurs hu are intrested or some1 like manu u arsenal rathur us

Hope ur right m8 - he would be awesome in prem

nzogbia to make statement on his future tomorrow source his been speaking to bramble and reported on one of there fans sites

Yeh he will be going to villa both newcastle and sunderland have been put of buy the high asking price and nzogbias 60k plus wage demands and tbh as a newcastle fan it is more importanted to get a good striker than nzogbia and even if we do buy a midfielder id rather buy barnetter or marvin martin who are worth less with lower wage demands.

Mcleish only gonna make one more signing reported interview on talksport but nzog is fav for them

Villa the only club to bid for him, that was rejected so nufc and safc look likely to miss out on that deal, still though it weird why we bid 10m in jan but then nothing in this window Makes me think that january bid was at 11.30 pm on the last day of the window far to late doomed to fail and hoping to please the fans because at least we tried Well go on and buy him then if you were serious or was it a stunt mike

I think it was serious he was trying to prove that he could bid for class players and at that point we could also afford his wages but tbh he is not a priority at all for nufc rather see a good striker and a reasonable midfielder than a stuipidly expensive we have seen we can do that with tiote ect.

Good point but better than jonas

I think Whealan is playing hard ball to price the lad out of any moves this summer - I think he sees the Zog as his best chance of staying clear of relegation and if you consider the money the club would make from another season of survival, compared with any potential loss on the player leaving as a free agent in 12 months it could be the best option fro Wigan

Newcastle set on a loan deal for Daniel Strurridge and are leading the race to sign Bendtner for a believed fee of £10 million. The Newcastle strikeforce is potentially very strong for next season.

I wish this was true

So is the potential for this rumours being strong bullsh*t

Is there any news on a possible left back replacement for Enrique ed ? I think that a swap deal for chamakh would suit both arsenal and us :D what do you reckon ed}?

{Ed042's Note - No news on replacement for Jose as yet, Bridge link dismissed, Taylor link dead, only other name I have heard mentioned that would be in any way believable right now would be Emerson of Lille, valued around 2.5 million but could merely be a name thrown into the hat due to our interest in other Lille players and the fact Jose is expected to go... I liked the look of Chamakh before he moved to Arsenal, and he done okay at first goal scoring wise, but the more I see of him the worse he looks, his all round game is very poor I think, watched Arsenal play Malaysia and he was the worst player on the park.. think we would be much better off asking for one of their current left backs and cash for Enrique, then use the cash to seal a good striker, or if that has significant money allocated to it already, buy really promising young prospects to back up our centre mid}

Traore is back after season long loan at juventus should ask for him and 6-8 mil {Think that would be the way to go alright}

Thanks ed :) I suppose your right about chamakh and his wages would be high :) just want to say I think that your doing a great job with this mate keep it going regards George :)

{Ed042's Note - Cheers George, appreciated}

Yes great site but whenever I seen Chamakh last season he was good, Arsenal went off the boil when the dropped him for Bentdnar who is by far worse than Chamakh

Didn't Chamack admit he found it a struggle settling in at Arsenal and would prefer a move back to the continent. I certaintly do not want him up here

Newcastle back in Bendtner hunt after his expected move to Hamburg has all but fallen through, Everton still enquiring about a loan deal but havnt cash to buy, which could favour the toon

Gary Hooper of Celtics name has again come up in connection with a move to tyneside

Ed are the 2 strikers we have bids in for Rondon and Long?
ive heard this from multiple sources.

{Ed042's Note - Nothing official to confirm but we have bid for Long twice with it being rejected in the past month, as far as Rondon, latest was Newcastle and Arsenal showing interest but no bid, Malaga said they would not stop him leaving if their valuation was matched, Arsenal have since cooled their interest in him so could be available and good chance of getting him if we offered around the 7 million mark}

Do you suspect a bid will be made or is just speculation, also how good is this guy, how does he play?

{Ed042's Note - As I said mate, no solid bid has been confirmed by Malaga as yet, so would just be speculating myself to say we had, to be honest think he is one of the strikers we will swoop for if the main targets dont come off that we have bid for, namely Erdinc and Long... Pardew seems to really want Erdinc, pushing a lot harder than he did for other targets like Taylor and Zog, but his agent seems to be a bit of a nightmare so if we get back from America and theres no developments we could see a bid go in fairly quickly for Rondon.. In saying that Malaga have spent 37mil to date and have only got one striker which was Van Nistelrooy so maybe Rondon may want to stay now... very hard to tell where Newcastle stand on it lad, as you can tell by the players we did sign, no speculation beforehand... From what I have seen of him he looks a good young player, only 23, would compliment Ba well I think, more of a fox in the box type of forward, poacher, good movement and a decent goal record.. for 7 million I would take him above Erdinc any day}

Thanks ed, £7million for Rondon seems like a very good deal, get it done Pardew

Leeds lot seem to think smith to Leeds deal is dead. Any thoughts? Sure you won't pay his wages for a year?? lol

Have him free I will drive him down 60k a week and for what? He should do the decent thing and admit he's not premiership quality anymore, Leeds going home would be very fitting, I hope he ends up at Leeds good Luck

Thanks, if it's wages well Bates won't even cough up for a Preston No.2 goalie let alone Mr Smith so as you say, he better swallow some pride and get his arse to ER. lol.

Leeds seem to be offering Gradel around so send Smith and a couple of million.

Yeah I second that :) Controversial I know but you'd make an old git happy and give the eds a break from me asking for rumours about Smithy every five seconds ;)

Toon interested in Montpellier Striker Olivier Giroud, should on cost about 2.5m

19 Jul 2011 10:30:52
Enrique to Liverpool 11.5mil

He's got his heart set on Barca and champions league football, i think liverpool would be the wrong choice for him and us

If he's going FFS JFDI, this is dragging on to an annoying extent. We'll end up getting top buck on 31 August and going into the season with no Left Back like when Czrroll was sold last minute. SteveToon

reading some posts on here people saying our squad is stronger now, weve lost nolan cambell carroll and brought 4 lads in with 4 months premier league experience between them.we have 1 left back whos probably going leave this window.lacking quality up front carroll was superb for us aug -dec his and nolans goals guaranteeing safety.overall last season we were weak up front, ok at the back but no cover for jose. midfield was by far our strongest department.weve just signed 3 midfielders and ba who played left wing last year.the forwards we have left are back up players at best and would be sold if any decent offer came in.
so our new midfielders will have there work cut not only to create goals for best/ba etc.but to score the amount goals from midfield nolan did

Ba has proved he can score in Prem, and I do believe or midfield is stronger now than last season with Ben Arfa back, Cabaye (great passer), and Marveaux as great back-up/possibly starter. Hopefully Sturridge on loan to play off Ba (take Nolans role).

If you want to post NUFC rumours you're in the right place. For the kind of frantic breast beating you're going through I would suggest Beachy Head. SteveToon

I agree we r stronger we lost nolan ok he scored a few but hes not getting younger he couldnt run now so i think we exceeded expections in recruitin midfielders and beeny and gos bk much stronger. as for Carroll i dont care bout tha Judas girl beating ball bag best off gettin rid. so we added ba whos proven goalscorer in prem so beit witha relegated side but just 1 mo striker (HopingSturridge) and some defensive cover and we much stronger (WelshToon)

What has Carroll done since he left? Pretty much nothing, You cannot miss what has not been available to play with injuries and court cases. Sol Campbell will not be missed. Nolan has been replaced by box to box midfielders who cover my ground with better pace. Ba will score more goals than Carroll next season i guarantee. Midfield was not our strongest department either, Maybe you missed us having to play Guthrie towards the end of last season and actually so dry off back up could have done with Routledge back from loan because we had to play Ryan taylor and youngsters in midfield. Know your team.

Ba has proven himself to be capable of scoring goals consistently, staying fit might be another thing, so i would say buy 1 more striker, maybe long from reading, he may not have much premier league experience but neither did carroll or even best, and long looks more mobile than carroll and a better goal scorer than best. as for goals from the midfield, ben arfa found the net in his first full premier league game, barton, anyone remember the goal against villa, marveaux and cabaye both have very good free kicks, cabaye also likes to make runs from deep, almost lampard like, and he's got a good finish when he gets in the box. hell even gutierez can pop up with a couple of goals, and there's no telling what abeid can do. if you ask me we're stronger than we ever were.(since shearer oviously)
