He is the new Gooch! Walcott in on loan late thursday?

Boumceluquelino.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/article3273318.ece Newcastle waste little time with Giles Barnes bidGeorge Caulkin Led by Dennis Wise, Newcastle United’s new-look player recruitment department has made an impact at St James’ Park, with Derby County yesterday rejecting a £1.5 million offer for Giles Barnes, their young midfield player. Tony Jimenez, the Newcastle vice-president (player recruitment), has been leading negotiations with Derby, although a deal is understood to be unlikely. Paul Jewell, the Derby manager, values Barnes at £3 million – “I don’t see why we should let him go cheap,” he said – but while Newcastle admire the 19-year-old, they are reluctant to pay so much for a player who has made only 58 starts in league football. Strengthening the midfield is not a priority, but it demonstrates Newcastle’s determination to ensure that their new system hits the ground running. ................................................................................................... Well what the hell is the priority??

I want doesnt get! ...and neither does Caps Lock.

So before we were shit against the lower teams, but could play half decent against the bigger teams, now we cant do either. Lots of work to do boys.

Comedy third for the mackems. Ruled out, rightly for handball.

We just dont have the quality in midfield either to protect the defence or open up the oppositions. We expected no less today though, and again we havent embarrased ourselves, despite the score.

Ameobi coming on "any minute now, but maybe not anytime soon."

Talking of which Ameobi coming on!

You mean they have to start actually offering money?

Barton coming on.. WOOP WOOP and there is an echo.

Panic Stations! Given just shits a brick when he gets the ball, that said you could say that about most of our players.

God we need a Right Winger to replace Milner!

given losing the plot!

FA Cup was all or nothing, Id expect Keegan wants another 12 points before he starts going a bit more for broke in the league.

Best news I've heard all week. Mort must have got a swift flight back from the Czech Republic, fine effort.

Why isnt wise on the bench?

. Why would Birmingham think they could get Lippi, why do Sunderland fans think they can stay up? Why did I sleep with my boss and ask for a raise? You dont ask you dont get, everythings worth a punt and everyone needs hope, even if it means waking up with a sore arse and a head full of shattered memories

Debut against us Doh.

Not really a problem, martins will be back after the boro game. Its Faye and Beye we really need back.

Without wanting to start a Jenas flamewar, I thought Jenas was a cracking player for us initially - I'd be delighted if Barnes became a similar box to box midfielder like he intially was. Totally agree

Never the same since his wife gave birth. Someone steal the child. Like Erich says, Roz would be fine if he just toughened up. Looked impressive early in the season.

Wiki hasnt even really heard of him.

Colemans first reccomendation as Keegans No.2

Know nothing about him. Strange only Setanta are running this, they(and we) could do with some of their breaking news to turn into something real.
