Newcastle Rumours Archive July 01 2012

Looks like we're gonna miss out on Luuk De Jong with a number of footballing sites (L'equipe, German Bild, Express and magazine Kicker) reporting he's signed for Borussia Mochengladbach in an 11million deal.

Seems strange that they quote £15m and sell for £10m.
Should find out tomorow morn. if there is any truth in this. Even more surprising that this happened only a day or 2 after a toon delegation visited, and for a price we would've gone to.

His agent has just rubbished it. He's yet to leave Twente.

His agent has come out and rubbished reports that he's agreed to join Borussia Monchengladbach

His agent now saying he has not signed, all over Twente fans websites and other Dutch and German sites.

Keeping his options open. Not the first time a club agrees a fee with more than one club before a player takes his pick.

Fingers crossed!

De Jong's agent has came out and said that this is untrue. So I think we'll have to wait till something is said from de Jong or lambias etc ignore the media!

I doubt it considering he's been in hospital for the past 2 or so days and also in the reports I've read the fee is less than what we've offered so there's a good chance it isn't true

His agent has come out and said that he hasnt signed for anyone yet. What is more he stated that he wants to play for a big club and that doesnt necessarily mean champions league....

Doubt it

Are the articles actually on there? had a quick gander before and couldnt see one on any of those sites.

His agent has said that he hasn't

His agent pretty much said he'll be joining us. just a matter of time, hopefully more news tomorrow

11 million to a german side if you transfer 11 million euros probably only work out about 9 to 9.5 million so dont think so and he,s been quoted at saying he was impressed with sjp and the toon army...

The above post is not from me!

Hasn't signed for that team as confirmed by his agent, but newcastle fans who are claiming he's signing for us, not necessarly true either. His agent has stated 2 teams are very interested, obviously one of those is us. But Newcastle need to match the asking price first. Hopefully this can be done though, ToonThomas

I've said from the start that De Jong will be a Newcastle player and it will cost the club 12mil be it with add ons or not and now they have a price for Douglas, a little cheaper than first quoted, it all come within budget! Debuchy will follow very soon.

De Jong likely speaks English, The Choice between England and Germany is a no brainer. {Ed001's Note - he does speak English, they are taught English at school, they speak it better than most of us!}

De Jong will not join for 12 mill as the club have offered 10 mill cash up front take it or leave it.

Perhaps we should # ourselves thing 1 and thing 2 like in Dr Seuss books.

Fc twente is in europe 10 million english pound notes is about 12 million euros thats about 8 million euros more than gyan is going for...

luuk de jong to sign for the toon on Monday talk of him signing for the Germans is bull

Let's Hope Toon Can Get De Jong In ASAP And Debucy And Anita And Douglas If We Sign Douglas For 5 Million Are We Selling Coloccini To Man City??

Are you luuk like?

Told u so

Just because we might be signing a centre back does not mean colocinni will be off to city. We need four centre backs due to many reasons like injuries, suspensions, and even fatigue. We can't rely on williamson for long periods like last season so we need better quality centre backs so we can still compete at a high level. Wish everyone would stop banging on about losing one of our players when we are linked with someone who pays in the same position!

Douglas, Anita and Debuchy would really move Newcastle onto the Next level.

Watch how Arsenal crumble next season by fixing their defence problems with buying more strikers.

Chelsea are going to suffer under Di Matteo, Liverpool are stuck with a expensive squad they cannot shift to buy more players.

There will never be a better time for Newcastle to invest in the Squad with the Manager of the year at the helm, Top 4 is realistic.
