That would be good if it was actualy true. they would want more than £3mil so that kinda rules us out........

Also im watching ssn and theres nowt bowt it at all. kinda think u have just made it up? if i was going to lie i would at least make it sum 1 gud.

Moron imposter strikes again. Clearly envious of my wider intellect and knowledge of local football.......SteveToon (the real one)
Agree0

Seen about 50 posts from stevetoon, a lot of people have commented that his stories have no credibility at all, wonder if hes just posting to keep the website/gossip moving, just a thought........
Agree0
Disagree0
I think SteveToon is just trying to defend himself, he makes these rumours up and then makes out it aint him lol
Agree0
Disagree0
You're being very unfair on the real SteveToon. His posts are brilliant. Pithy, funny and very knowledgable. The imposters are clearly jealous of his wit and intellect.....Bendigo

Id be happy to see a goat with black stripes painted on it playin up front itd have better balance than shola for a start

Lyon president confirms €10 million bid for cissokho
Believable10
Unbelievable5
Whats the source mate?
{Ed042's Note - Lyon themselves confirmed bid was made, didnt give a figure though, said it was under the fee they would accept, in fact said it was around half but by demeanor in which it was said suggested there may be a middle ground, wernt offended by it, just said it wasnt enough}
Agree0
Disagree0
But was it us that bid? Why don't we just bid £8m?
Agree0
Disagree0
He says that we have bid half of what it cost them which I believe was £14m. Ed can you confirm that we have bid £7m?
{Ed042's Note - Logical conclusion to come to mate, cant confirm exact bid because it wasnt said how much we bid}
Agree0
Disagree0
Spec going around that its manu that has bid the ten million
{Ed042's Note - Why when they have Evra and Fabio?}
Agree0
Disagree0
If we bid half of what they paid, which would be £7 million, surely there's no reason why we cant bid that amount for Pieters then?
{Ed042's Note - I would imagine it is because Cissokho would have higher sell on potential, bigger profit}
Agree0
Disagree0
In reality if we cant bid high enough for cissokho we wont get him , does that then mean Pieters wont want to come as he will feel 2nd choice, I know i would feel miffed if it were me.
Agree0

I bet Fatty is rolling around the floor in kinks reading about all these offers.

No im geordie i swear this is true it was a charity golf day and steve harper said he coudnt do it because he is looking for a new club becasue he has been told he wont play again
Agree0

Shut up fool, why would he tell him that, he would just say he had plans/was busy, he wouldn't give info out to any tom person or harry, go back to your hole and think up some believable dross
Agree0
Disagree0
Do you not realize he is on about golf club
Agree0
Disagree0
Im a too fan and i have heard there was 6 players who are furious the way ashley is running the club
1.HARPER
2.NOLAN[LEFT]
3.BARTON[LEAVING]
4.ENRIQUE[LEFT]
5.SIMPSON[WANTS TO LEAVE]
6.GUTIERREZ[WANTS OUT]
Agree0
Disagree0
Highly doubt that harper is getting pushed out the club and a thing the reason we will not be see much of him on the pitch could be to do with the fact we have the worlds number 1 international teams goal keeper in tim krul so to really say so if harper stays are gos not like it would make much of a difference would it really
Agree0

I can see this being true. Ashley will not want to pay someone 30k+ per week to sit on the bench...

Im hearing that NUFc will not be bringing in any replacement for JB. Instead they will be replacing him in the team with Gosling......Not good....JKM,Spenny
Believable7
Unbelievable5
Seems perfectly reasonable to me as long as we buy a lb and striker
Agree0
Disagree0
Very good in fact.
{Ed042's Note - Was wondering about why not good myself.. no doubt Joey is a good player but Obertan, Marveaux & Gosling all fighting it out for starting spot, theres been worse scenarios clubs have found themselves in to be fair}
Agree0
Disagree0
To be honest if gosling lives up to what footballing people think he can be we should not have a problem at all and he gosling will be a much better player than barton..ed042 what do you think..
{Ed042's Note - Came with a reputation as a cracking prospect for the future, a lot of people from Everton and elsewhere spoke very highly of him.. have been impressed with what little I have seen of him so far, hopefully realizes the potential, if so be a great player in future for us}
Agree0
Disagree0
Someone hasn't paid attention to pre season.
Pro Gosling
Agree0
Disagree0
I agree that gosling has the talent but the lad has only played 10 minutes of competitive football in nearly 2 years, i dont think we can pin all our hopes on him because I belive we will struggle to keep him fit
Agree0
Disagree0
Gosling was good in preseason and I was worried he would not get much of a chance so maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Hopefully we will see him tomorrow night. Also with Joey's wages off the books maybe it will help push through the deals we are currently working on or is that too optimistic Ed?
{Ed042's Note - Was my thinking on it too mate, should mean we have 60K extra to increase wage offers on bids out there}
Agree0
Disagree0
If anything we have plenty of midfield cover so Barton doesn't need replacing.
Put his wages towards a decent forward.
Agree0
Disagree0
I only said it wasnt good for the reason that JB is a proven good player if a little mad and DG has had a lot of injury problems and hasnt proved he can cut the mustard yet. Plus im not sure if he has the grit of JB and dont see him as the ideal replacement although i would be more than happy to be proved wrong on this occasion. I like DG but doubt he will stay injury free....JKM,Spenny

Mackem here yeah defo has, been honest stupid letting him go, he maybe a prat but is a decent footballer, you lot shouldn't of let nolan go either. bad times for you

Disgraceful. Ashley lost the plot. F off now Ashley
Agree0

Well sometimes out of the frying pan...how will Joey and Warnock get along??
Agree0
Disagree0
No doubt quality player,only QPR in for him? The man has baggage like Newcastle terminal.
Agree0
Disagree0
Why are you reading Newcastle rumours if you are a mackem? You fell the nerves creeping in?... Nolan gone, replaced with Cabaye who are younger and better... Joey might not be replaced, we shall see
Agree0
Disagree0
Not having medical until the morning,hope the club offer him a contract as we need players who show pride to wear the black and white stripes cashley has not got a clue
Agree0
Disagree0
Can't football fans come on and have a bit of banter on other clubs pages without being griefed? but there is always one prat like yourself giving grief. give your head a shake and ask yourself which club is selling it's best players and which club isn't but what has cabaye done? nothing, should of been sent off against us, what did nolan do for you score goals FACT is Cabaye gonna score all the time like nolan did? who knows but I wouldn't expect it in his 1st premiership season was trying to be honest but instead got to put another sad tw*t in his place
Agree0
Disagree0
Whether Barton, considering his age, should have been offered a lengthy contract is debatable. What is not debatable, however is that we did not need to let him leave on a free. If reports are to be believed we are unwilling to meet clubs transfer fees (Pieters, Maiga etc) yet he with the purse strings lets an asset go for free, just cos he got on his nerves. Hardly the actions of a finacially prudent genius as the Ashley supporters would have us believe he is. More the behaviour of a spoily brat who owns all the toys.
Agree0
Disagree0
Honestly I kinda glad he's going. 1 good season. I wasn't shouting his name last season. Raylor on the right me thinks
Agree0
Disagree0
Yes ashley only stood by him when he was in jail. short memories or what.
Agree0
Disagree0
Listen here MACKEM shut it cabaye and nolan are diffrent kind of players and who won the derby and who got knock out of carling cup worry bout your own team d**khead
Agree0
Disagree0
No choice? if he stays he's in the same situation, he's still going to be free.
Agree0
Disagree0
He could of rejected contract talks but no he didnt doesnt that tell u something
Agree0
Disagree0
How doesnt MA realise that Barton is the kind of player we need. Yeah bring in the french for the skill, and technical ability but you just cant beat the passion that Barton has about the club - and honestly, thats what most of us want to see. Iv been supporting MA through this window so far but for me loosing barton, regardless of who we bring in, will just be too much. OFFER HIM A CONTRACT
Agree0
Disagree0
On the offensive over nothing GEORDIE chill out, I was just given my honest opinion on things without taking the mick, but you are making it into a childish game of name calling, put your handbag away and grow up no wonder I loathe fans like you, you got to realise some fans don't mind having decent banter with their rivals fans. funny how the geordie said Cabaye is younger and better than Nolan though? after 2 games. how many years did nolan produce goals in the premiership for bolton and then yourselves? but done with this idiot, if I'm allowed to give my honest opinion, you do have some decent cover for Barton and Nolan but whether Gosling,Cabaye or Marveaux can step up to the challenge and get you plenty of goals I don't think will happen this season and you may struggle, seems like pardew and ashley are taking you lot for a ride. so as i said bad times
Agree0

24 Aug 2011 18:35:44

Ed you got any extra info on this, from what i had heard bridges had been mended between barton and the club
{Ed042's Note - He has been and it looks likely tbh mate. He was put on probation and Pards bought him some time but he was never taken off transfer list. Joey will look out for Joey and the club is bigger than any player. Only leaves one end scenario tbh, not a 100% thing just yet though}

”

Go for it
Agree0

I think he is a good young talent but £4.5m and best is near £7.5m so I hardly believe this.
Agree0

Be happy with Maynard looks sharp at the moment good prospect
Agree0
Disagree0
Would love to see us sign Maynard, but not at the expense of Best. Can't we throw in Ranger, Guthrie or Smith and pay the difference. Maynard is certainly the best striker we have been linked with (bar Erding) and would be a credit to our club.
Agree0
Disagree0
I live in Bristol and can tell you city have put a 6mil price tag on Maynard such is his importance to them . this is a rehashed rumour ,wasn't best and 4.5m reportedly turned down previously. Bristol are in deep do do with talk of administration so 5m plus player might do it, would love to see Maynard at the toon much more than miaga , also see talk about a bid for carlton cole now ,jesus i hope not ,would rather we went without .
Agree0
Disagree0
Best wouldn't go
Agree0
Disagree0
Everyone would like us to sign Sturridge, but maynard is just a good in my opinion. A quality talent avaliable at less than 10 million. An absolute bargain when you consider what Connor Wickham went to Sunderland for.
Agree0
Disagree0
Its worth saying that Maynards partner is expecting in next couple of weeks , dont know if he'd want to uproot now.Mind you bigger paypacks do funny things to folk.
Agree0

Wigan supposedly interested in Maynard, you would think Ashley would like to get one over on his enemy whelan by winning the players sig.

Newcastle have allowed QPR to hold talks with Joey Barton. - Ridiculous.
Believable5
Unbelievable2
Well knew that was coming, if he went was always gonna be for outfit with more money and clearly they have more money and ambition than us. Sadly for Joey he may end up going down a division as think the toon more likely to stay up than QPR. My immediate worry is who replaces Joe as clearly Carroll and Enrique havn't been and is Collo and Jonas next. Very concerned now.
Agree0
Disagree0
Nope he was already available on a free nearly any club from Barcelona to birtley town could talk to hin
Agree0

Excellent. Walking time bomb, egocentric and red card magnet. We have Gosling, Marveux and vuksic who barely make the bench to come in. Let him go. He aint all that.
Agree0
Disagree0
Gutted best player on our team by far now we have let carroll go nolan go enrique go now barton, whos next jonas or colochini, barton is the heart and soul of that team sort it out pardew
Agree0
Disagree0
It does seem ridiculous given Pardew's recent interview talking about joey being available for Sunday and not for Thursday. That is of course me banking on Pardew knowing what the fat cats are up to upstairs, which obviously i would doubt
Agree0
Disagree0
Out with the alcoholics and nutters. Ranger next hopefully.
Agree0

So he goes the club still lives, give some of the youngsters a go, and we still have gosling, ben arfa and the other new signings, if we get the two we're after we will be alright.
Agree0
Disagree0
Great... he's worth much more than the whole England squad, and we let him go for free... can't see us not getting relegated without Barton
Agree0
Disagree0
So with him and all the other players who left who were on big wages we must have well over 120k/week wages hanging around. With that and a hell of a lot of money from sales we might actually buy a topnotch world class signing.
Agree0
Disagree0
Are you joking if we were going to sign anyone it would have happened by now. M.A has no intentions of spending any money, he dosent care about the club and the sooner he leaves the better. Every player that has left said they never really wanted to and have been forced out, we are a laughing stock

Newcastle have given midfielder Joey Barton permission to hold transfer talks with Queens Park Rangers, the Press Association understands.
The controversial 28-year-old, who joined Newcastle from Manchester City in 2007, is in the final year of his contract at St James' Park.
He was made available for a free transfer in the close season after criticising the club's transfer policy

barton given permission to talk to qpr. what is going on I thought all of this had been resolved. So it looks like our best player will be leaving on a free adn from what I have seen so far this summer I have no confidence that he will be replaced. Plus who is out their who could replace him? scott parker? very much doubt he would come back. i cant think of anyone else who would be good enough/willing to sign for us. anyone fancy having a whip round and buying out MA? ill get the ball rolling and donate a fiver

Ya righr Scotty Parker wouldn't come back but he wouldn't replace barton anyway because we played barton out of position on the right wing. Would like to see another right winger coming in to keep obertan on his toes. With some luck if given a decent chance he could fulfill his potential.

Gosling is a good younger replacement

Im up for the buy out. tell me when are where and i will donate. I am honestly shocked by MA actions this window. 40 odd million and still without key players. out best player is basically being told to leave. MA has just had a profit of something like 200 million in his sports outlet but just will not invest. He could earn a hell of a lot of money out of newcastle if he would invest properly. Him and both his puppets out of our club. never thought id say this but i would love to have freddy shepherd atleast his heart was in the right place when it came to our club. Absoultely gutted i am

Yes Ashley announced a 200 million pound profit for the sports direct empire, but then just a few short weeks later that profit was hit when the stock market went south, and also, the 2 businesses are completely seperate, he could have a billion pound profit on 1, and an even break on the other, doesn't mean hes going to plough money from 1 into the other, hes a clever business man, after all, how many of us on here are multi-millionaires?
Agree0

The fact that he has made multi millions is baffling to me. what kind of business man allows his prize asset to leave for nothing. bit like richard branson swapping necca island for a raleigh burner and a jar of pickled onions. as for the buy out just send the money to my address and ill put it in my money jar, ive raised 7pound so far so spread the word cash only though. any excess raised will be used for me and me missus to go back to primrose caravn park again next summer

Way i see it, with all the speculation on maiga in the media and noises coming from sochaux's camp and pardews lips its perfectly clear that he is our prime target striker wise. This is just my opinion but, i dont think we will consider any other player unless this deal goes dead. Anything else is either made up by desperate fans (ours or otherwise) or the media getting bored with the lack of activity and throwing another name in the mix. If sochaux actually let it go, then maiga WILL be our new striker.. I just hope this will be not become another erdinc saga where its left to the very end and sochaux decide they will not sell him and we are left with nothing. either way still love the toon :)

Barton on 60,000 a week if he goes that will pave the way for our transfer targets.

Heard on the radio last night that Sow is available and PSG are trying to sign him.
This means 2 things to me, either we should try and sign Sow or if PSG succeed then Erdinc will move to SJP for the price Dithery Derek wants to pay.

Cant see either happening tbh
