Hearing Ranger Lovenkrands and Perch could all lave tomorow this is could because if ranger and Loven go we we still get Maiga but could try to get in Papa Cisse and perch significant to free u wages for JB replacement / cb cover but will only happen if them three leave not sure about smith Guithrie though not 100 % certina all hinges on getting rid of em first

Believable2 Unbelievable3

Lovenkrands not going AP rates him as a squad player.
Ranger will go one way or the other AP doesnt rate him at all
Perch is harder to call AP blows hot and cold about him.
Kadar isnt flavour of the month despite playing for his country could ends up as makeweight in a Birmingham or Bristol transfer.
Smith is to rich for Championship clubs except Sven so no chance.
Guthrie is still in AP's good books

Agree0 Disagree0

You pardews right hand man like, never knew big John C came on here

Agree0 Disagree0

Defo think pardew wont get rid of lovenkrands as he'll want to use him wen tons of players go to africa cup of nations.

Believable5 Unbelievable0

He said today he can leave if they sign a replacement and theyve signed camara also Maiga is 100% in a hotel at newcastle now.. He will sign a 5 yr deal tomorrow

Agree0 Disagree0

GET HIM SIGNED FAST and then we will be a competitive side once again, lets make st james a fortress . Spend that cash ahley

Agree0 Disagree0

Lovenkrands off to rangers or championship
Ranger to blackpool, Birmingham or even Wolfsburg

Ed, any news on whether or not Darnel Situ is joining following his trial the other week?

{Ed042's Note - As far as I know we have discussed terms and he is due to sign before window closes}

Believable6 Unbelievable1

It only makes sense to sign him imo, and Remy. We need Situ as a backup for CB, which i think he could handle now, he's a better player than Perch. Remy needs to develope a bit more than Situ tho.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2011 20:32:51
what on earth is happening at the marriot hotel? could of sworn ive just seen fat boy with peiters! he might have his own ways of persuading players to join the club.........

Looks like we have missed out on Cisse. Source Dannyo - Newcastle Utd blog

SORRY FOR CAPS IN ADVANCE, HERE’S AN INTERVIEW ON CISSE FROM THE CLUB PRESIDENT:

Sigh of relief at the Bundesliga SC Freiburg. The poker game for striker Papiss Demba Cisse is finished: As sports director Dirk Dufner the ‘Sport-Informations-Dienst “(” SID “) on Tuesday evening confirmed the Senegalese attacker Freiburger not leave before the transfer window closed on Wednesday for Premier League “The issue is due.”

The consultants of Cissé, who scored four goals already this season for the Breisgau, had still negotiating with Newcastle United on Tuesday for a last-minute transfer. Newcastle offered but apparently only some ten million euros for the striker, while the sports club continue to demand € 15 million. In addition, the consultants have argued about commissions. This makes a change from Cisse, who is still in Freiburg under contract until 2014, at the earliest possible on the island during the winter break.

Dufner sees the 26-year-old a kind of non-descent guarantee: “This is a very special boy – and we are fortunate that he is with us this chance, we still want to enjoy for a while..” Cisse himself had declared that he could easily imagine, to leave the SC.

Believable4 Unbelievable1

Of all the strikers we have been linked to this is the guy i would love to have at the toon. Scores lots of goals and doesnt get pushed around easily! Hope the deal isnt dead but if it is then its a shame cos he looks the part!.....JKM,Spenny

Agree0 Disagree0

I have to agree - having looked at as much footage of all reported targets as I could see, this guy was the one I would most loved to have seen wear the No. 9 - and I think he would have filled St. James Park week in week out. I kinda feel a little sad that we made the bid, and came up short....IrishToon

Agree0 Disagree0

Mike Ashley can't comprehend spending twenty million in two days for PLAYERS. Though he'd be happy to buy some other random clothes outlet. Ruiz would be available for the same amount as cisse, but in my opinion would be better value.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2011 19:47:57
Newcastle have confirmed the signing of defender Davide Santon from Inter Milan.

ssn

Believable9 Unbelievable2

Great signing!!, More of the same pleeeeesseee!

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2011 18:55:19
Cisse could be our last signing this window, but his 13m valuation is a sticking point.

Believable5 Unbelievable4

Please God let we have him

Agree0 Disagree0

Wouldnt demand too much salary... but dont think ashley will pay 13m...toonshack

Agree0 Disagree0

I am praying!

Agree0 Disagree0

Cisse wont happen. too expensive, typical paper talk just linking names as there isnt long left in the window. will have to make do with Macheda, who in my opinion. is rubbish

Agree0 Disagree0

Yep don't rate him,but better than shola i think

Agree0 Disagree0

Please be true. Cisse would be an amazing signing. I wouldn't mind Maynard as 2nd choice though. No Macheda, he's no better than what we already have.

Agree0 Disagree0

Lee Ryder posted on twitter, that nufc cooled the interest in Macheda and have to look elsewhere, so that won't happen, but let's hope for Cisse

Agree0 Disagree0

#nufc fail with €10m bid for Freiburg's Papiss Demba Cisse, according to a report in Germany.

Agree0 Disagree0

Would not take lee ryder words word to save my life always seems to tell you about deals everyone else has known about for a few days even some times weeks

Agree0 Disagree0

We bid £9 million for Cisse, its been confirmed by the club president of Hannover.
It's been rebuffed and they said they wont sell this window :(

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed what are the chances of us signing Cisse?

{Ed042's Note - Limited tbh, they want too much for him as things stand and wont budge on it}

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2011 18:50:02
Newcastle's 9m double swoop on Joe Cole and David Ngog!!

Victor

Just had a text from a mate who says he heard 2 guys talking on the metro that AP has had a cheeky request of taking Andy carroll on loan from liverpool knocked back! lol
Dont beleive it but if its true then the man has more balls than anyone gives him credit for lol.......JKM,Spenny

Believable9 Unbelievable11

IM NOT SAYING YOUR TALKING RUBBISH, BE I DONT THINK WE COULD PULL THAT OF, WOULD BE FUNNY IF WE GOT HIM, AND GAVE HIM THE NUMBER 9 HAHAH

Agree0 Disagree0

Like i said i dont believe it myself but thought it was funny and if it was true would show some amazing guts.....JKM,Spenny

Agree0 Disagree0

Mind not going to happen but would not suprise me if M.A has tryed just on the fact that everyone can tell carroll dosent not look happy and to me since his move looks like hes aged about 5 years in the space of 9 months poor andy

Agree0 Disagree0

Thats your carer not your friend sport

Agree0 Disagree0

My carer? I like it! lol Already said i dont believe it but thought it was funny so posted it. You cant dig me out for saying that! There isnt anything to dig out.....Sport!

Santon signed from Inter Milan on 5 year deal! Recommended by José Mourinho. (source SkySports TV - dont think it's on web page yet).
Also Ed, any news on Maiga apart from fact we won't be able to talk to him until Gradell has signed from Leeds? {Ed001's Note - Gradel deal seems to have fallen through, as of now, so I don't expect news on Maiga.}

Believable8 Unbelievable1

Just been sed on sky ssn that hes off to have a medical with the french clubs so looks like we get to land owa man after all

Agree0 Disagree0

Recommended by jose haha, another one of ap close friends? Creased.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why don't we sign Gradel?

Agree0 Disagree0

To first poster, he off to st ettiene not sochaux where maiga is from therefor no deal

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2011 18:11:33
santon has passed his medical

Believable9 Unbelievable1

30 Aug 2011 18:04:20

Believable3 Unbelievable3

God where have you been they wanted to much for cissokho and psv pulled out on pieters deal due to not been able to land the replacement they wanted now go back under your stone are maybe just read a bit more on the site and you wouldnt have to ask silly things lol

Agree0 Disagree0

None of them are coming santon deal will be anounced tonight or tomorow morning. then tomorow maybe maiga deal hapening IF max gradel moves to sochaux. if the miaga deal does not happen macheda will come on loan for 6 months from man u

Agree0 Disagree0

The cissokho part i didnt know, the pieters part i did, but they cant do anything if nufc go back and offer the release clause, thats what im interested in

Agree0 Disagree0

Any need to shoot the lad down like that. He might have a job and not sit on this site all day. C**K

Agree0 Disagree0

Neither is coming, it's been confirmed from both Pieters himself and Lyon when it comes to Cissokho

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah they not coming

Agree0 Disagree0

Some people have jobs you no, and may not keep up to date. and the 2 defenders only pulled out the other day!!!!!!

Agree0 Disagree0

To the person who replied first who made you the font of all knowledge,you kn**B!

Agree0 Disagree0

No one made me the fountain of knowledge think that was wat your where meant to type just like to keep up to date and to be simple anything ased in my first comment is right if you had just looked for the answer then maybe you would of not been made to look like a tool

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2011 15:47:05
Santon having medical as we speak....NUFC in pole position for macheda and elliott deal being agreed.....News of another striker other than macheda also in the offing! NUFC wanting first option on macheda as part of any loan deal and the fee is holding up the deal

Believable7 Unbelievable4

I hope these are true, i read on bbc sport that santon his having a medical. also read on ssn website that we are in pole to sign macheda according to his agent

Agree0 Disagree0

I still think we need a proven goal scorer, it's a shame we messed up with Shane Long as he has got goals in him.

Agree0 Disagree0

Lee_ryder Lee Ryder
#nufc cool on Macheda must be looking at other targets

Agree0 Disagree0

Not sure Macheda is the answer. He adds little to what we already have, and in playing him we'll be stifling the development of Sammy Ameobi.

If we get any striker it has to be someone at least 2-3 years older...or who is the same age but has scored more goals in top-level football.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sky Sources: Newcastle sign Davide Santon.

Agree0 Disagree0

SANTON IS A TOON PLAYER BRILL SIGNING

Agree0 Disagree0

News is that Santon has signed. Source Lee Ryder, Journal

Agree0 Disagree0

I posted the top post and im glad to see the first part of the rumour has now come off! Santon has signed 5year deal! Now for macheda and elliot which should be done by tomorow afternoon. The shock will be if we get the 2nd striker in!

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2011 15:39:11
I read on sky sports that schaux had received a new bid for maiga does anyone know if that has been accepted

Believable6 Unbelievable1

It says they have signed gradel subject to medical

30 Aug 2011 15:01:05
ed?... are you allowed to collect players on loan after the transfer window closes or whats its closed is that it? thanks jrob {Ed008's Note - Depends what you mean? If a player is out on loan and has a Call Back clause and is a young player he can play but if he's old he can't play as he isn't in the 25 man squad rule the rule allows young players to play even if they aren't in the squad.

Believable3 Unbelievable2

30 Aug 2011 14:54:10
david santon already signed? search for him on google, then on wiki his current club is newcastle united! {Ed008's Note - I could sign for Newcastle tonight if i went on wiki. It's nearly a done deal.

Believable5 Unbelievable1

30 Aug 2011 15:09:58
Chelsea are going to bid £25m for Tiote and Krul. Apparently we are getting Sturridge and Turnbull as replacements.

Believable2 Unbelievable20

No they want an attacking playmaker not a holding midfielder and cech has just came back from injury ... both krul and tiote have long contracts anyways

Agree0 Disagree0

Where you hear this y would krul leave newcastle to go play second string to cech

Agree0 Disagree0

And we are also swapping both ameobi's for xavi and messi with us receiving £50 million as well (well its as believable as the above post any way)

Agree0 Disagree0

I do believe Andy Carrol had just signed a 5 year contract. Contracts mean nothing these days.

Agree0 Disagree0

Well that's why we got 35 mil for him, because they bought out the contract pretty much.

Agree0 Disagree0

Also If we sold Tiote and Krul, why would we replace a Midfielder with a striker. and sell a keeper when we have only got 2 seniors atm.

Agree0 Disagree0

Would cost more than 25 million in this market too im sure! Tiote rated at around 18-24 million and krul must be worth 10 million maybe more with his age and potential!

Agree0 Disagree0

This reeks of bull s**t if its true tho id take that all day if the money would be reinvested in the team but it wouldnt be

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2011 14:26:39
Any more news on santon and medical {Ed008's Note - Ongoing he only just arrived quality signing i must say.

What the hell has happened with nolan roux

Believable4 Unbelievable3

Hes realised your sh'te

Agree0 Disagree0

That's what i'd like to know, better than miaga imo . Ed do you know what happened there regarding roux ? .

{Ed042's Note - Dont hold me to it but reports saying that we have contacted his club and they have confirmed approval from Lens regarding his £8m release clause. Basically if the Maiga deal falls through we could get a deal done very quickly for Roux if we chose to, not 100% on the reliability of it but that seems to be the latest, only thing that could throw a spanner in the works is interest in Roux from Rennes today due to them missing out on Erdinc}

Agree0 Disagree0

"Hes realised your sh'te"

Do they not teach English on Wearside?

Agree0 Disagree0

^^ Haha

I work at St. James' Park & word on the block is that Newcastle have made a £15 - 20 million bid for Didier Drigba

Believable5 Unbelievable19

To old and to high of a wage and you should know this if you do really work there you dope
marknufc

Agree0 Disagree0

Sounds to me like you'll be much more at home at St Nicholas's Hospital for the bewildered than St James Park. Have you been taking drugs.........SteveToon

Agree0 Disagree0

Ha thats the best iv heard yet, imagine ma paying that for a 32 year old with huge wages. i cant stop laffing

Agree0 Disagree0

Total crap not in our wage structure at all..the only ashlet i think would spend that kind of money is there was huge potenial for re-sale and i think theres no resale value ant where near that..i know ashley would spend that kind of money as wise did have ready to buy modric but he went to spurs so who knows but has for drogba ne chance.....

Agree0 Disagree0

I doubt this is true but I so wish it was

Agree0 Disagree0

Why would ano1 want this deal... 20million for a 32 year old...150k+ a week... where have u been for da last 4 years

Agree0 Disagree0

Are you on day release from the hospital?

Agree0 Disagree0

Never heard of drigba is he any good

Agree0 Disagree0

Not sure that we should be wasting that amount of money on a complete unknown............Didier Drigba? Never heard of him.
Col

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes drigba cos DROGBA wouldnt come to you ha ha

Agree0 Disagree0

And like he would come to yous ya mug

Agree0 Disagree0

Love da SMB replies... are things that bad on tear side that u need to come on toon site

Agree0 Disagree0

One of the biggest and most outrageous made up lies on these blogs. Ashley wouldnt pay this sort of money for a young Drogba in his prime

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2011 13:11:24
Ed is there any news on Cisse heard Toon interested but with the African Cup would you take a punt?

Federio Macheda's agent has said NUFC are front runners ahead of QPR to take Macheda on loan for the season.

Think this would be a great capture, tons of pace and has proved he can score goals in the prem.

Pete

Believable16 Unbelievable4

Hope your right Pete,would be Brill for us.

Agree0 Disagree0

I dont understand why we don't take united up on the offer, alex offered him to pardew couple on weeks ago. it would make sense if we took him, one way fergie would be able to keep an eye on him and see how he copes in the league and that way both parties will see if he has the skills to pay the bills

Agree0 Disagree0

Proved he can score goals in the prem ?!?!?!?! he has scored 2 in 3 years. He makes Adi Akinbayi look prolific.

Agree0 Disagree0

I like him, he's skillful and strong in the air but 'tons of pace'? Sorry hes got none what so ever, ask any Man Utd fan, slower than sholeobi.

Agree0 Disagree0

2 blinding goals as I recall. He's been out on loan to Sampdoria since then. Given game time, he'd link up well with Obertan, I'm not saying he's our 20+ goal scorer but well worth taking on loan.

Pete

Agree0 Disagree0

And Daniel Sturridge had scored one goal in 27 Premier League-matches for Chelsea before joining Bolton. some neggers complained about Sturridge when thinking about him as loan for Toon. and allso, one year ago people where in their comments hoping for Robbie Keane to join. we are better of now. bring in Macheda! try him out, he could be absolutely awesome. And remember that SirA appereantly do not want to sell, that is a good sign to me..

Agree0 Disagree0

He has only scored 4 goals in 20 odd apearances for Man U, me thinks he will end up as a midfielder. Also will hamper young Ameobi'S prospects. As an extra to another striker, otherwise Jog on

Agree0 Disagree0

Hope you do get machedas on loan cos if he is poor you still have to play him if he is fit that is condition ferguson has on all players he loans out . if they fit they have to start games

Agree0 Disagree0

Its on SSN looks like it us or QPR

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont want loanies only helping the other club become stronger

Agree0 Disagree0

Would rather buy our own that loan...

ed do you know anything on the darnel situ front mate

{Ed042's Note - Apparently we`ve held talks, due to be tied up over today and tomorrow}

Believable6 Unbelievable0

Hope so cos he look a beast for his age and can only be a good thing if sir alex tryed to sign him

{Ed042's Note - Dont know how true it is but makes sense, Situ turned down the contract at Utd because he wanted to break into 1st team in next year or so, didnt think he would get the opportunity at Utd, good signs that it wasnt because he wasnt up to scratch, i`ve kept my eye on him for a couple of years, looks like a really good prospect if he keeps improving, personally chuffed with this one if we get him signed up}

Agree0 Disagree0

Cheers ed mate hope we do sign him and just been reading up on that santon and its seems everyone has nothing bad to say about him say he is going to be one the best fullback that Italy have ever produced

{Ed042's Note - The next Maldini is a huge overstatement obviously, nobody could live up to him, but imo if you`re even a tenth of the player Maldini was you`re still good ha}

Agree0 Disagree0

Who is Darnel?

Agree0 Disagree0

WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER TRAILESY WAS IT REMMY ARE WE GONNA SIGN HIM TOO NOT HEARD A THING

Ranger to Blackpool deal back on.
whilst i agree that moving him on is the best thing for this club, despite his huge potential, i hope DL includes a sell-on clause in the agreement as all Ranger needs is to be brought in line and Holloway might be the guy to do it.

Believable15 Unbelievable3

If ian holloway can't make the kid realise the oppertunity he seems hell bent on waisting then nobody can.

Agree0 Disagree0

"I hope DL includes a sell-on clause" - you are playing way too much Football Manager - Maybe you should also make sure to add in some injury clauses, and % salary payments, and then post that to DL in an email in case he didn't know how to do s**t without your input you donkey.

IrishToon

Agree0 Disagree0

Really hope MA has the helicopter for this one

Agree0 Disagree0

Get rid of him, he'll go to blackpool and will never be heard of again, runs about like a headless chicken and cant hit a barn door

Agree0 Disagree0

I would take him there personally.for a young lad like him to be given the opportunity to play for Newcastle and possibly make a name for himself but rather throw it away is shocking.Loads of young kids waiting for a chance like him.Good riddens to the waster.

charlton keeper rob elliot having medical at mewcastle . he any good or just cover for krul ?
SSN

Believable14 Unbelievable3

Just cover.

Agree0 Disagree0

And harper

Agree0 Disagree0

I can personally see with Elliot coming in, Harper moving into more a player/coach role and i fully expect him to move into a full coaching role by next season.

Agree0 Disagree0

We have Soderberg too thought so why are we wasting our time and effort on another keeper?! We are trying to get this Petr Bolek aswel, another keeper. Need to sort out our priorities!

Agree0 Disagree0

Can he play as a striker? Surely the priority is a striker?

Agree0 Disagree0

And you have ago at us for getting so called championship players, when this lad is a league one player SGBS

Agree0 Disagree0

Harper is getting a bit long in the tooth, though keepers can play longer. Wonder if there is something more serious on the injury front? Would be a great GK coach.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2011 10:03:02
Lukaku in talks with Stoke for season long loan deal. Expect a flurry of clubs to be interested including us.

Santon in medical. CFMed by SSN

Maiga deal highly possible but depending on whether Sochaux sign Max Gradel from Leeds.

Macheda's another name mentioned along with many others. Things heating up really fast.

NO players expected to leave currently.

Believable5 Unbelievable5

SSN says player can't go out on loan whilst signed in the same window. So I guess no1 can have him till January

Agree0 Disagree0

Isn't ranger leaving? Or perch? I've seen rumours about both. {Ed008's Note - Both players are for transfer and Newcastle if they sign Santon have got themselves a great player.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Aug 2011 09:50:50
Santon having a medical at the toon! SSN for me that is a tremendous signing! But why aren't we putting a bid in for Lukaku on loan - Stoke are in advanced talks, surely that's worth a shot

Believable9 Unbelievable1

Totally agree, lukaku is worth a shot

Agree0 Disagree0

Chelsea can't loan him out according to fa rules so not worth a shot :L

Agree0 Disagree0

Cant loan a player purchased in the same window...

SAGEORDIE OUT

Yep he cant move anywere on loan till Jan so might be a chance then if we need it.

Newcastle are in advanced talks with maiga

Believable8 Unbelievable4

Why are we doing business with them they reported us . Don't want him at toon too much attitude and money.

Agree0 Disagree0

But will they get work permit for him. he's 2nd rate anyway.

Agree0 Disagree0

No pleasing some people we desparately need a striker better than what we have ...and he is Best Ba Maiga Shola Lover Sameobi our 6 best forwads thyre not bad biggest concern is nuber of Africans for ACN

Agree0 Disagree0

I just wish it was Roux and not Miaga, Carr must see something special in him to go through all the hassle we've had ,what do think Ed Miaga or Roux?.

{Ed042's Note - For me Roux, Maiga if we were the old style Newcastle with the likes of Robert whipping balls into the box all day because he is extremely good in the air but think we need a workhorse with an all round game and potential of goals too, think Roux gives you that more than Maiga}

Agree0 Disagree0

Gradel all that cr@p you gave us about signing so called championship players. what a laugh. hes straight out of league 1 ha ha ha

Agree0 Disagree0

Nothing about gradel.

Agree0 Disagree0

Its Sochaux that are in talks with Gradel, not us

Agree0 Disagree0

Maybe alan smith can go to leeds to persuad them to sell gradel so we can get him

Santon to sign by deadline day at the latest, and
Nufc may pursue a striker on loan. Which they think will get them through till the January transfer window, and prices may drop. Big mistake - as usual :(

Newcastke deals to be completed before dealine:
Davide Santon LB 5M+ add ons
Maiga Mobido ST 7M
Fedrico Macheda ST Loan
Darnel Situ CB £250,000

Macheda and Santon to be at least announced by tomorrow

Believable15 Unbelievable1

Macheda is soooooooo awful though :(

Agree0 Disagree0

Nice one these are starting to beannounced on sky news me thinks you got a gd source

Agree0 Disagree0

Darnel Situ has already been signed. I think it was on a free (released from RC Lens but they will be due compensation).

Considering ManU tried to sign him when he was 17 I think he's def. worth a punt!

CrawleyMag

Agree0 Disagree0

Think we will sign macheda on loan. Smart move really as he would help santon settle. Dont think we have any italian players at the moment.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think all will happen TBH looking on SSN they never put BULL up on the website looking good for us if/when they come in i cant see many FANS saying the Buisness we have done is bad at all. What do you think ED? {Ed008's Note - Santon and Macheda i would say 70% done medicals need to be completed and personal terms both quality players in the making.

Agree0 Disagree0

Thats what i think Situ is almost done right? Not sure if we need Maiga TBH

Agree0 Disagree0
