No he can't his price is £5m as Fulham have already found out. Which is their top prioce for him. As the transfer deadline gets closer, that fee will reduce because they need the money and would have to replace him. No it wont. They've no reason to sell, if anything it will rise because people will be desperate. Are you living in a parallel universe? Put it this way they paid more than £2m for him and he's since had the best season of his young career so far. I'm a big fan of the lad: http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,50015.msg1288987.html#msg1288987 I was saying we should have signed him when he was at Crewe, but £3m, they are not that hard up. What's the point in selling your best player for that kind of price, at that age, when already being offered £5m off a Prem club.

No he can't his price is £5m as Fulham have already found out.

What do people want then, a player from Scotland who can't score against the dross, would that make them feel better.

That's a canny massive lie to make up and print, even for a cunt arse Journalist. He's simply got no proof of this happening, simply down to that it didn't, therefore I hope the club do something and finally take these fukers to court and take the cunt for everything he's got and shouldn't have.

He can barely make it to the pitch, makes Babayaro look like Gary Speed. No thanks.

I just think sometimes people need to take their black & white tinted glasses off and realise that outside of Newcastle, not many people rate Keegan as highly as manager. They must be fuckwits. The important thing is what a manager achieves not the manner of their exit, and Keegan did a good job at City, a good job at Fulham, a good job at Newcastle the second time round and performed a minor miracle in his first managerial stint at SJP. Most managers get sacked; quitting is largely the preserve of the good ones. I don't rate Keegan much at all, not these days anyway. He spent a fortune at City and wasted most of it on utter rubbish. Despite a couple of decent league finishes it ended up going pear shaped and by the time he left they were in a real mess. He was a terrible England boss too. He did a good job at Fulham (albeit with a lot of financial muscle compared to his rivals) and did brilliantly at yourselves the first time round. That first stint is ancient history now though. George Graham, Howard Kendall, Kenny Dalglish and Terry Venables wouldn't still get any decent jobs on the back of being quality managers years ago. Their shelf life is up and I think Keegan has reached that stage now. Tin hat on. I see Keegan as an impact manager. Somebody who comes in and breathes life into a club - he needs a bit of money but in the long run it’s a sound investment. He did it at NUFC and he did at Fulham, who wouldn’t have been a whisker away from winning a European trophy it hadn’t been for the foot up KK gave them. And you can criticise his time at City but he did get them promoted with a record points haul and they haven’t been relegated since. Not bad for a club that was in the third division not that long back. What he’s not very good at is pragmatism. He always wants to aim high and he always wants to play open football, which is why he was totally unsuitable for the kind of manager Ashley wanted. If you look back at his career (distinguished career at Liverpool, twice European football of the year with Hamburg, captain of his country, inspired NUFC to promotion as a player, two promotions with three clubs as a manager – including taking NUFC from the brink of the third division to the brink of the league title) branding him a quitter really is petty shit slinging. There’s very few people in football who have achieved as much as KK. It embarrassing to read NUFC supporters slagging him off after everything he has done for the club. I think there's a balance, just the same when looking at Shearer, it wasn't all roses and sunshine. Some people, especially on here can see KK as some kind of demi-god and the video done by the spurs lad with Shearer could easily be them and the way they go on about Keegan. i'll always feel let down by him, i'll never stop, he should have stood his ground for us, its what most NUFC fans would have done. We certainly wouldn't have been relegated. Then again the way he was undermined was appalling and very hard for such a proud man to take. It's called balance, looking at the grey, but some people can only see in black & white, its a shame they are as one dimensional as that.

Here comes the England B Team.

I agree, the modern game failed him, but he failed to understand the modern game. All this shit that happens off the pitch is there, and its only going to get worse.

It's looking a bit dated mind.

That and the Mark Lawro computer bit - well we ran out of money.

We should loan him (Walcott) seriously. Would do him the world of good. He'd get every game and some much needed confidence. It would sound like i've entered a parallel universe but Arsenal are on the verge of ruining him, and a move here would do him good? Too many beers for me.

That was Silvestre was it not? On the grounds of him smacking Dabo around. Na, Onuoha was linked and said he wouldn't move to us. It was around this time: http://www.sundaysun.co.uk/sport/newcastle-utd/2009/01/11/newcastle-tell-man-city-to-swap-johnson-for-given-plus-cash-79310-22665615/

The only thing King has to do in Capello's eyes is last 90mins while passing fitness tests the next couple of days after.

Carricks got to be cut.

Thanks.

Did you ever see him fall over the ball playing for Boro in the FA cup? That was a funny moment, i nearly wet myself. He's done well to come back from that tbh.

Very good 2nd half. 1st half was shocking, a lot of 2nd string starting, so good result all round.

I reckon if Parker mades the final squad he should have to have his head bic'd.

Would have had Johnson take that. At least Gerrard gave it up.

Someone's spilt Maradona's coke.

Just to unite everyone under an England theme: Michael Owen is watching this at home.

Baines might start to play ok and get forward like he does for us now then. Gerrard offered him absolutely no cover all game and left him between marking 2 men multiple times. If he doesn't want to play on the left he should tell Capello that and accept a place on the bench if he can't get picked in the centre. I like it how you blame the Liverpool player for your player being absolutely out of his depth. No biased whatsoever. So do you honestly think Gerrard gave him any sort of cover or options for an outlet ball in that first half? Baines has had a shit game but it's hardly surprising in those circumstances. Fact is, we had a one man left side with Gerrard wandering into the centre constantly and not tracking back. Since moving into the middle he seems to have switched his attentions to perfecting the bellyflop. Cunt. I think there's as much truth in that as Baines has had a shocker through his own accord.

No need for yellows for that imo, not in a friendly.

Vela & Dos Santos, both young though. Where's this player Manu have signed, Fernandez? Wasn't he top scorer in some league, £8m worth?

Didn't Onuoha already turn us down saying he'd never join us (couple of seasons back)?
