According to talksport it seems liek we have lodged a bid for Diarra. ''Newcastle United chairman Chris Mort is hoping to sign Arsenal midfielder Lassana Diarra as a gift for the clubs new manager. The North East club parted ways with boss Sam Allardyce yesterday, but chairman Chris Mort is still keen on signing the Arsenal midfielder. The Sun are reporting that Newcastle have lodged a £5 million bid for the French star and offered the player a four year deal worth £35,000 per week.'' http://talkingsoccer.blogspot.com/2008/01/newcastle-hope-to-sign-arsenal-star-as.html Doubt it very much, but who knows. 5 mil is still lots of money, but if Ashley has that kind of money id take him.

Why not, if he can get Messi and Ronaldinho to follow him over here.

Ive heard Hiddink there too eating some noodles.

Jol never won anything. The dutch cup equivalent to FA CUP, he took a team from third to first division, and did win a non-league competition. CHEERS... I'm stunned. GET HIM AT ANY COST! Ok to begin with, instead of coming with unnescessary comment how bout you answer if you would take him over Hughes and Redknapp. I know i would.

Pele + Viagra = Success at the tyneside.

Would any of you take him? I would, he took Tottenham to two straight 5th places and except this season had a good manager career. He has won titles in Holland and i think he would do a good job, better then Hughes or Redknapp. Dont get me wrong i would love Mourinho but at the moment he looks like the best of the realistic ones.

Keegan & Shearer = SUCCESS!

My lil bro had a dream someone with H signed for us, he said it wasn Hughes so it must be Houllier or Hitzfeld, yey im so happy...get a big man in and im happy got enough of this circus speculations.

~FACK OFF! u scared me.

I would fo gor Jose or Jol. Both are PL proven, say what you want but Jol took a mediocre tottenham team to two consecutive 5th places.

Given Carr Taylor Cacapa NZogiba Milner Butt Smith Dyff Owen Viduka or Carr Taylor Cacapa Enrique Butt Smith Zogiba Milner Duff Owen

TO be honest, i doubt Mourinho is coming. I doubt we have one ready to come in yet, and i think we should get Martins to be a player/manager. He would do great. or even Smith!

The thing is Jose has been successful before so he would be given time, but i seriously doubt hes the one.

Did Freeman not sign for Arsenal? No, not yet at least.

Guys please dont expect him to come in and make wonders, hes still youngand not yet the player hes supposed to be. Hes going to become a starter for the french national team, and the question is if wenger doesnt already knows that and will only let him come on loan.

Excited if this happens and hope we go for Gillinghams Luke Freedom or whatever his name is, sounds like a canny player at the age of 15.

currie guy in luton best player so far in that half.

IF we sell him we need to get Defoe here, or someone at least with speed but ALSO technique and ball control!

As a brazilian i got to say this guy is known for his hustling! Another Alan Smith but with better technique and maybe not the same temper, but from what ive seen he shouldnt start in our team if we are to contend for a european place.

crappy coach is a ridiculous thing to say Nah it isnt, he plays for a 1-0 win all the time. Give it up to his offensive players for making this a good team, hes an extremely boring coach with a one sided imagination, play it to Kaka hell score, we win. I hate watching him make those stupid italian substitutes when its 1-0.

Kaka still better then C.Ronaldo, by a mile, too bad Kaka plays for a crappy team with a crappy coach in a crappy country with crappy tactics. He should come to Newcastle...

its not the right time to sack Sam, but it starting to hit me that hes never going to win us nothing. just last night he took off Faye and let Viduka and Butt play 90 minutes. He took of Martins, he was useless but wow he runs and moves more than Viduka. Duff he took off a bit to early i think, Duff has been out for 8 months but shouldve given him 75-80 mins ithink, and he left Milner in there for the whole match although he was absolute crap. Big Sam isnt convincing me he is jsut showing what a bad manager he is.

Eh Big Sam is a big piece of crap. tell me why he takes of Duff and Faye, and keeps viduka infield. Wow get rid of merceneries like Owen, Viduka they do us nothing good, get guys with heart and spirit and flair cause thats what we need.

Good team, although if its still 0-0 at halftime i would like Big Sam to throw in Emre and try to play a 4-4-2 diamond style with emre supporting Viduka and martins.
