Keegan would have only signed if he was convinced by Ashley's intention and ambition.
Keegan must believe something very special is afoot, and that is something incredibly special for us the supporters.
You also have to remember that with three of our transfer signings this summer (Rozehnal, Cacapa, Beye), the French press knew what was going on and reported it long before the British press had any proper inkling.
tbh, its quite possible that Mort has told candidates that they are one of many in talks, so try to avoid confirming any talks have taken place, as there is a chance that you could become known as someone whom has been rejected by Newcastle.
