Isn't there a rumour that clueless actually purchased the wrong Faye and he wanted Abdoulaye not Amdy all along. Better late than never. If it was started by Souness its a possibility. Faye would be decent back up for the squad. Not an astounding signing, but gives us a little more depth. Throw in a RB and LB cover and I will be very happy.

i would take diouf here in a shot. he was tearing us apart in the second half. decent replacement for dyer and able to play anywhere in midfield or up.

Elano looks good for his debut. Good open match. City boys doing very well though, on the whole pummelling West Ham.

LALALALALALALALA WOO!

COME ON!

City up at West Ham, like it!

I wonder if either of these three outgoings will be replaced (albeit Smith replaced Dyer)

Its the language barrier thats the problem. Looks like Dyer and Solano off to West Ham for £8-9m and Luque off to Levante for an undisclosed amount. Poor Enrique - "But Mister Luque and Mister Solano, I thought you were going to look after me?" *Luque and Solano look at each other before replying in tandem* "Umm..... Bye!" *Nobby packs his trumpet as Luque storms off quickly pulling his hamstring in the process*

Didnt you read the north american thread? Its a shitter thats to be sure! I might con my dad into buying setanta and taping all the newcastle matches, or I will drive down to his. Setanta Broadband might be an option if I can get a decent mortgage for a house!

He has played less than Harper over the last few years. Used to be a great Keeper, but should have left Chelsea years ago, can he rekindle his past form again? Who knows.

Might not be alot of space for him, but he offers something different to what we already have. Had Geremi not looked so good in preseason playing in midfield I would have expected a DM to come in. Butt and Geremi are midfield battlers, but we dont really have a midfield dominator. Provided we sign a bit more cover at the back, Id welcome Diops height, and I'd tip Allardyce to get him playing like he was a couple of years ago. Thats if he has the time after doing the same to the majority of our squad!

No. He's not. Next. Gudjohnsen to complete our 7 strong front line. Would be great for creativity in our midfield but we hardly need him at the moment.

Via .com Surely they are just taking the piss? that or he is turning up looking like that!

Have you never been over to spain?? Newcastle are a well known club all around the world! Champions league we palyed Barcelona a couple of times. If he knows about us then he'll know not to come anyway tbh Just out of interest why do you think Appiah would be a waste of time and money?

Harper Carr Taylor Rozenhal N'Zogbia Geremi Butt Smith Martins Viduka Milner For me. Although Ameobi could well figure.

How is Babayaro back on track? He was almost looking injury free, credit where credit is due, Sam made sure it was just a one off.

Only thing that will be remembered for killing his career will be him. Doubt people will even remember where he went after Barcelona in years to come, he lost his desire long before he left Barca.

Cant we call him Smitty?

"Your my friend now Dave" Can already see Luque banging on his hotel room door with a load of presents and a card saying "please be my friend".

The more I see of Geremi the more Im sure we wont be buying another DM this window. Without taking credit away from Butt, who has been excellent, Geremi looks classy in that role. A Trio of Barton Geremi Emre or Barton Geremi Smith is pretty fearsome. Rozenhal of course is also experienced in playing as a DM. Im sure the last signing of the four will be a RB. Should Enrique and Drago come in. Although it looks like he has already chosen to sign for Everton, it would be interesting to see if we would still push through a deal for Baines if he did want to come.

Wouldnt be suprised if we started against Bolton 4-3-3 as follows. Harper Carr Taylor Rozenhal Enrique Geremi Butt Milner Smith N'Zog Viduka Not sure if Martins might replace N'Zog, but I think Enrique will need all the protection he needs, if he is fit he will start imo.

its a bugger, i move to canada just as they completely screw with all the tv rights, cant get any of the games on my tv deal at the minute. seriously considering getting the setanta broadband deal.

Take it, thats not available outside the UK?

How come he hasnt signed for Spurs yet? MJ didnt start the baines rumours aswell did he?

Where the hell is he? Its been three days and we havent heard ANYTHING! Ashley needs to sort himself out before another club snaps him up. typical Newcastle transfer tbh, not getting my hopes up anymore!
