Unbelievable11
Does any1 else not want him to sign, he will be our "marquee" signing
Agree0
Disagree0
I think he is probs the best option we are able to get.
Agree0
Disagree0
I think he will be a good signing played in Europe last session seen him play a lot last session for psg and he can be a handful in the box can create for other forwards fast and for one thing knows where the back the net is so dont really see your point

Nothing on my sky news

It says it on .com when defoe said hes not keen on toon if thats what you mean (GOERDIE BOY 4LIFE)
Agree0
Disagree0
Most likely is that on defoe not keen on toon and its a rumor on just like a lot the stuff on this site not the truth just rumors
Agree0
Disagree0
Sky are speculating about Erdinc signing next week in a report on their website about Defoe not keen on a move to Newcastle.
'Manager Alan Pardew is thought to have made Defoe a summer target, and is also keen on Turkish forward Mevlut Erdinc, who could make the move to the North East by the end of the week.'
They are just speculating and know as much as we do
Agree0
Disagree0
Dont really think he wants to come we seem to be linked to loads of players maybe info comes from club so they can say well u know weve tried to sign stikers its been well reported
Agree0
Disagree0
Its on news in the defoe not coming story
Agree0

Both are rubbish and smokescreens for Shane Long arriving, Pardew and his lies

Could see it on the cards as he is one the big salary players at the club but hopefully not with getting the captains armband and to lose yet again another captain shows that what is going on in this club is what is not need to take this club forward neither a massive two fingers up at us fans :S

If the monies right sell him thats what i say..

HOPE SO HES WORLD CLASS. GET BAGS OF GOALS AGAINST SCUMDERLAND

I'm the person who posted the Luiz Adriano rumor and i was told that they initially went to look at Eduardo, id be happy with either Eduardo would be on a fair wage tho ?
Agree0
Disagree0
Get real will be on £100k plus
Agree0

Dream on, not a chance in hell
Agree0

Thats the eduardo who played for arsenal, who after a badly broken leg left them coz the premier league was to physical and the length of time out took its toil on him and left him with no confidence.err no thanks
Agree0
Disagree0
For a decent price....very good.
Funny how so many people were chuffed with the links to Bendtner and Chamakh (who are f*cking useless) instead of Eduardo.
Shakhtar Donetsk wouldn't be playing Champions League football without him.

Might as well get rid of Ben Arfa for a bad injury too then?

Marko Arnautovic could be the strike partner we are looking for to partner Demba hes been likened to a young Ibrahimovic (both technically and in his petulant behavior) hes not wanted by Werder and we could get him for less than £10 million
Believable7
Unbelievable13
What team do he play for and is their any real intrest in him?
Agree0
Disagree0
How much less? as you are lucky if you have 6m to spend and don't forget about wages, agent fee's etc...
Agree0
Disagree0
He plays for Werder Bremen, i believe there is some interest as hes a top talent and hes bremen would let him leave
Agree0
Disagree0
A fee of £10 million with 6million upfront and the rest in performance related incentives, he would be at the top end of our wage structure, hes played with Tiote at Twente aswell so he could put a good word in for us
Agree0
Disagree0
We haven't got 10 million, we spent 35 million on free transfers remember lol
Agree0

27 Jul 2011 17:24:36
I'v heard that we have had scouts out in the Ukraine watching Shakhtar Donetsk to look at Brazilian striker Luiz Adriano, hes looking to move to a top european league in the hope he can get into the Brazilian national team. His wages are reported £19,000 a week and would be available for around £8 million

Quiet time, you dont know what youre talking about
Agree0
Disagree0
At all clubs there are players who want to move to improve their lot. Enrique is our wantaway. He is only playing the "unhappy card" so that he can play the victim when he gets his big move. Hold your nerve, we'll be back in the transfer market when they get back from the USA. Nothing'll happen until mid August on the transfer front. Yes, Graham Carr has looked at every striker in Europe. But he won't make the decision. SteveToon

ed could you please clear things up, as you no your stuff. people have been saying that on the 1st of august which is this monday, that the edric deal could be done? is there any truth in this? i no the deal wont be done there and then, maybe agree to join, but if yiu have any information, could you let me no thanks.
Believable2
Unbelievable3
{Ed042's Note - Situation is the same as it was a week ago mate, no confirmation from anyone worth listening to, pure speculation stemming from one article written by an unreliable source.. reason Monday is being touted is because thats when Pardew gets back to business in Newcastle after the trip, people will bring up the bonus story and how it will be paid by PSG this week, again it came from that article, and again, stuff like that does not get into the public domain, especially in France.. PSG have accepted a fee yes, which is a step in the right direction, but that was never the real issue, wages and agent, they were the stumbling blocks and still are as far as anyone actually knows for certain.. he may sign, he may not.. but at the moment anything in the public domain is pure speculation, nothing more, theres more certainty in the flip of a coin}
Agree0
Disagree0
The reason people think it may be completed on the 1st of August is because Erdinc is owed a £1m bonus from PSG and if he were to sign before 1st August we would have to pay it instead.
{Ed042's Note - Besides this story coming from a blog article and never being mentioned in the french media, for arguments sake lets say it was true.. how has anyone not looked at the fact that the owners of PSG are essentially Qatari royalty, in other words, minted.. do you really think they would make an issue over ONE MILLION if they wanted to sell him, getting 6 to 8 million when they do?? that is not the reason this transfer hasnt happened yet believe me}
Agree0
Disagree0
Wise words
Agree0
Disagree0
It isnt PSG making the issue about the £1m though. They have to pay it after the 1st of august according to that report. Which means if we signed him before then we'd have to pay it, and we all know MA would rather keep that £1m to spend in 5 mins down the casino.
{Ed042's Note - True im sure Ashley would like an extra mil to spend on the slots, but what im saying is this transfer has been dragged out for nearly two months now, they have been offered more money than is being reported to be accepted in the past and it hasnt happened, in fact 1.5m more than they apparently accepted last week, if they wanted rid, they would have paid this phantom 1m bonus due a month ago, these lads have more money than they know what to do with, look them up, look up who PSG are going for at the moment along with Chelsea, Pastore, valued at 35 to 40 million.. im not denying there may be a bonus due to him, what im saying is that isnt why this transfer hasnt happened}
Agree0

Don't think it will happen, just fools trying to get peoples hopes up, like the idiots who were saying Drogba, Berbatov, N'zogbia, defoe signing

hotspurs interested in Ibrahim Afellay, which can be sold for 8 million of pounds.
newcastle should make an attempt for afellay, can be a great player for us but now that hba this injured
what saying?
Believable3
Unbelievable12
Afellay was one of the youngsters getting a good amount of first team football at Barca last season. So..
1.) Doubt they would sell him since he seems to be in their plans.
2.) He's getting his game for the best club side in the world, why would he come to us?
3.) He'd probably cost over £15m and we won't pay it.
4.) His wages will be stupid.
So as nice as it would be, it won't happen, unfortunately.
Agree0
Disagree0
He is unhappy as he was promised more of a role, they signed him for near to nothing and need money for cesc, if they do sign cesc hes further down the pecking order barca would sell him for 8-10 mill easy
Agree0
Disagree0
Teletext on the BBC yesterday were saying Barca would let him go for £4 million.
As usual, no one knows how much he'd really cost or whether he'd even be interested in coming to us.
Agree0
Disagree0
This as Bs written all over it. When Affellay joined Pep was waffling on about how brilliant he is so i would put my house on the fact he wont be sold.
Agree0
Disagree0
And why would Barca sell him?
Agree0

27 Jul 2011 16:08:47
just heard from a farily reliable source that we will announce the signing of Loic remy in the next week or so for a fee believed to be in the region of £10 million. Defoe/crouch rumours just a smoke screen and the board have got tired of waiting for erdinc to make his mind up You heard it here first
Believable8
Unbelievable22
Quite believable, would be a good capture, marseille might want a few more quid than we're willing to pay though......
Agree0
Disagree0
Not a chance he only signed for marsielle last year scored 20 goals they signed him for 15m gonna let him go for 10m mmm dont think so
Agree0
Disagree0
I hope so, but I doubt it
Agree0
Disagree0
I knew a few people would think i was talking nonsense but my source wasnt too sure on the price for Remy but heard it is to be in the of region of £10 million upwards. just wait and see it happen
Agree0
Disagree0
Not sure this will happen. He fits the bill being young, energetic and fairly prolific, however he's only been at Marseille since last year and it would take some considerable wedge for them to part with him. If it happens, it will be a great signing.
Agree0
Disagree0
It was 15m euros. at the time about 12m pounds. now we'd have to offer about 13m to match that. marseille would likely want more. can't see this one happening i'm afraid. frankly, remy can do better than us, he could go to a club with ambition
Agree0
Disagree0
I have said this since the end of the season he would be one of my top targets if i was pardew. I hope its true just for the smug feeling
Agree0

27 Jul 2011 15:20:52
ye chairmen really sticking it up you lads claiming ye after defoe knowing fine well his not looking to move from the area. like i told all the mackems he has just had permission to build a 4.5mill house which has took 2 years to get. first of all it was 4.5 for zog and then 5 for long deals that he knew clubs would turn down he should change his name to walter mitty whos next
Believable9
Unbelievable2
The chairman never suggested that we were after Defoe. Just the usual rubbish from the Sun
Agree0
Disagree0
Yeah, to be fair Ashley rarely comes out and says anything. Part of his policy is keeping transfers hushed as much as possible.. or as non-existent as possible.
Agree0
Disagree0
You are spot on
how about this nrecastlr looking at Messi but struggling to get him to lower his wage demands to 40K
Agree0

27 Jul 2011 15:01:43
Lukas Padolski has been replaced as captain and his manager at Koln has left the option open for him to leave (Goal.com), surely worth an offer could be got for 10-12 million (Koln signed him for 6) not sure about his wages??
Believable7
Unbelievable9
When are you going to wake up, you will not spend this kind of money on players.

What a muppet why would a world class player like podolski want to come to s j p couldnt afford his wages anyway

27 Jul 2011 14:15:03
The chronicle is claiming Newcastle have turned down the chance to sign Beye and Bassong I'm not suprised they turned down Beye due to his age but thought Bassong would be a good signing to compete with our current CB's and was offered for halve of what Spurs paid for him and surely he is worth £4 million.
Believable14

Barton doesn't like they bailed off after we got relegated so can imagine he'd do everything to persuade AP to not sign them

Believable8
Unbelievable29
I heard he is sharing a horse drawn cart with lionel messi but there delayed waiting for ronaldo to turn up.
Agree0
Disagree0
Don't know about you but i'm sick to death of the 'new striker saga'. i'm starting to get the feeling that we are all way off the mark and we will end up signing a total surprise (as per the likes of marveaux/cabaye/ba etc) - no offense to your Berbatov story, which i would very much like to hear.......
Agree0
Disagree0
With no resale value and high wages you have to doubt that the owner would agree such a move. Presuambly any signing has to fit within the envelope of the fees and wage package offered to Erdinc. If Berbatov could be signed and paid within that I would be astonished.
Agree0
Disagree0
No chance unforunatley, Berbatov just confirmed yesterday that he was committed to MU. Would be a great signing but MA wont make any money out of the resale and he will not pay the wages.
Agree0
Disagree0
Yes he will be on the bench as we are signing Messi and Tevez.Any more daft speculation.
Agree0

Berb is to see out his contract with manu its on

Defo will reject a move to Newcastle it's on news I would of liked him here but I don't want any player that doesn't want to play for the club and at 10 mill price tag I would rather go for some one with a future edric or sturage or both I would also like to see long here if we can sign two players what do u think pls leave comments who you would like to see were the number 9 shirt
Believable10
Unbelievable3
In response, I agree I would of loved Defoe in the number 9 shirt, but if he doesn't want to come to us f*** him. Erdinc would be under too much preassure if it was given to him, the same with Shane Long. The only player I think we could (maybe) get who could wear the number 9 shirt is Sturridge. I think the most likely scenario is no number 9 next season, or even maybe Shola being given the shirt that he has been wanting for nearly 10years
CrawleyMag
Agree0
Disagree0
Would quite like to see Erdinc come as we seem to Have invested a lot of time and effort into to him. His signature would save some face and I do trust in G. Carr's scouting. Also think Long would be a good signing at the right price, qoild happily see a deal for 5mill plus one of our strikers as he think he's better than what we've got, although I'd maybe keep Best too. In a perfect world where we'd actually spend some of the 35mill, Sturridge would be a top priority and the new no. 9 but I can't see it hhappening. I think the squad needs stengthening too; LB, CB, RW.
Agree0
Disagree0
No one this season, if someone is proven this season like carroll was then give it to them
Agree0
Disagree0
Defoe is a typical southener, probably thinks we all live is council terraces and race whipets and grow leeks. if he'd rather sit on the bench at spurs let him, he's obviously happy playing second fiddle and tryin to pull page 3 girls and his team mates sloppy seconds who go out in london. plus why pay 10mil for him when he could probs get sturrige for 15
Agree0
Disagree0
Defoe is not even an option similar to Berbatov to old no resale value and the fact he doesn't even want to play for us should teach us to leave him alone we are just getting a squad back together who are willing to play for themselves the club and the fans.
Agree0
Disagree0
Probably because his missus won't leave London
Agree0
Disagree0
27 Jul 2011 12:15:53
sky sources is that defoe will rule out any move to newcastle got to start looking for some1 else and soon
Believable11
Unbelievable1
I wouldn't get upset about this, it was clearly a story cooked up by the club and Wapping journalists to distract attention from their failures elsewhere. They would never fork out for someone with diminishing resale value or for his wages. Ditto Crouch. However they would like you to think they were trying to shop at at Harrods, even if they will only pay Netto prices.
Agree0

Where does it say that? just looking on the website and cant see it anywhere??
Agree0

I tell my lass i don't want to go to work every morning, but i still go

Where is this information?
been on sky teamtalk and on news now and nothing like that is written

if People are reading old stories too. Erdic is coming, as we are waiting till august, so we don't pay the 1 mil bonus to his agent. Also i can believe Defoe coming as Spurs have to sell two strikers before they sign another.

just wondering does people think we will get either defoe or edric/ defoe has just come out of the blue i would like to see us bring in 3 more players, a defender, which everyone would agree on, a striker which we must get and i would like to see an attacking midfielder come in. Ed what do you think, anything on defoe?
Believable6
Unbelievable1
Don't think we need an attacking midfielder, we already have marvaeux, ben arfa and vuckic (who looks like he could be a quality player). We need 2 full backs (one to replace Jose and one to challenge donkey Simpson) we also need a striker (obviously) and that should set us in good stead to push for a top half finish
Agree0
Disagree0
We already have enough attacking mids just look pardew likes to play ben arfa behind the front 2 we have got cabaye, vuckic and gosling who can all play there as well
Agree0
Disagree0
I'd happily take Defoe, we don't need another attacking midfielder, but I would like to see us get Onouha to put pressure on Simpson, offer cover across the back 4 and even an emergency replacement for Tiote when he inevitably gets his suspensions. Would like PvA or Bertrand on loan from Chelsea to replace Enrique.
Agree0
Disagree0
What happened to the geordie's saying defoe is overated and messes clubs about? but as soon as he is linked with you he is better than sliced bread
Agree0
Disagree0
Gosling has the ability to cover DM for Tiote, and i think Cabaye could be used there as an emergency aswell. He'd still be able to control much of the flow in the midfield from there. but its far from ideal.
Agree0
Disagree0
Pardew wants to play Ben Arfa behind a front 1, not 2. also tavernier is better than simpson.
Agree0
