Pretty pleased to hear about Pavlyuchenko. He scored a few at Euro 2008 but the amount of chances he was given he should have scored a lot more. I've said it before when we were linked with him, if you don't create him a plethora of chances he won't score because he'll miss a lot more than he'll score.

Inler has already rejected a move to us. No he hasnt Yes, he has. Wise met with Inler's representatives in Switzerland and they were presented with an offer which was then turned down by Inler's camp as he was not interested in joining Newcastle. Was very widely reported in the Swiss media. Feel free to provide a link.

One thing I'd say is all their signings this summer are significant improvements over what they have got.

You have to invoke Article 17 within a period of days after the end of the season so he can't do it until May 2009 at the earliest.

Lets hope that's the agent trying to soften Depor's stance, because it would be criminal if we let our preffered target get away because we won't pay an extra million when we have a billionaire owner.

Basically, yep. well, the story with that one was, ashley was in a casino down london and he heard the west ham directors say they could of paid more for dyer, so then ashley cancelled the transfer I thought it was because they found out West Ham had spoken to him before we accepted the bid. No the casino thing is correct, the West Ham directors didn't recognise wor Mike and were bragging in front of him at the blackjack table about how they were ripping the Toon off over Dyer Link? Never read that before.

We asked for more money because we re-valued him. We accepted the initial bid but then Mort (who had basically no previous football negotiating skills at this piont) was told he was worth more.

Basically, yep.

Why? Just showing our hand to our transfer rivals. Also it's no help to our fans if we admit the interest and are unable to conclude a deal for him.

£1.5 million I think.

I suppose it's another body for the squad and hopefully he turns into a decent player.

No.

Whos going to argentina Coloccini's agent.

This Gutted well look's like he will need to enact the webster ruling then He can't enact it until after the finish of this season (May 2009) as you have to hand your notice in within a period of the season finishing.

Just a thought here but could the reason for Spurs and us having similar transfer targets be Jimenez. I mean wasn't Jimenez the one who negotiated bringing Ramos to Spurs so you'd presume from that he has some sort of link to the Tottenham heirarchy.

He can't use the "Webster ruling" as he needs to hand in his notice within a period of days after the season has finished. So he'd have to wait until the end of next season to do that.

I've got a feeling this week were gonna see the floodgates open in terms of deals getting done.

Will be interesting to see how this turns out, especially if their is truth in the Coloccini story. Can't see us signing both Bassong and Coloccini unless we are sending Edgar out on loan.

Alright, who are you and why have you got my facebook on your sig? It's done so everyone will see there own facebook. He hasn't actually got your facebook in his sig. For example I see my own facebook in his sig.

Is anyone else getting slightly worried this deal might not be as done as thought? If he still doesn't have his registration it's likely that Mallorca and the Spanish FA are refusing to release it, which means it will probobly take a FIFA or UEFA hearing to get his registration but who knows when that would take place.

Thought Allardyce was a crap manager but I do agree with him that Oba is a "scorer of great goals not a great goalscorer".

Swap for Warnock or a few million and I'd be happy. We've got Harper and Krul can come in as a back-up.
