Lets hope this guy turns out to be a bargain. Now lets get ourselves a left back.

That's Owen or Martins gone then.

They don't announce it, they just turn up. It's a public beach so I think the idea is not to have hundreds of fans turn up.

To be honest the agent is just doing his job, trying to get the best deal for his client. Hopefully it will be wrapped up soon.

NOTW say the interest is in preparation in case Owen leaves.

The decieving thing about Rigters stats is he has only twice played at striker for Breda last season. The rest of the time he has been forced to play out wide.

We don't have a sell-on clause as he left on a free transfer.

Hopefully we do get him. We need defenders desperatly.

NOTW say Freddie Kanoute is being lined up by Sam as the replacement for Owen. Saying that take it with a pinch of salt as it's the NOTW.

No thanks. Milner is better than him and he's a fucking midget.

While I admire Barton I do not thik he should be Captain. He'll be great 98% of the time but then every now and then he does something insanely stupid and that's now what we need from a captain.

Only problem is we don't have a new board. Shepherd who was running the club is still the Chairman and the board still has all of Shepherd's cronies on.

Bhoularouz is leaving this summer.

Believe it or not clubs do not have SSN on all day to find out what a players situation is. They ring up the club and find out the situation.

.com are reporting that Carlisle and Sampdoria will play at SJP this summer, although not yet confirmed by club. They also report our preseason could be in Stegersbach, Austria from the 3rd to the 10th of July.

Solano already said he will return to South America after this season.

Solano only got a 1-year deal and Krul gets a 4-year deal Link NEWCASTLE United can confirm that both Nolberto Solano and Tim Krul have signed new contracts at St.James' Park. Solano has been handed a new one-year deal, while Dutch stopper Krul has penned a four-year extension. Krul is currently on international duty with Holland Under-21's at this summer's European Championships, and the 19-year-old had this to say after signing his new deal at Gallowgate. "I signed a a four-year deal so I think that's a very good thing for me and for the club. "Newcastle is a massive club for me and I really want to stay there so I hope my future's there. "Shay is a fantastic goalkeeper, one of the best and Steve Harper as well. It's a hard challenge for me but in a couple of years I hope I can challenge them." And Krul says he will be looking to gain some valuable experience by going out on loan next season, adding: "We're looking for a loan. I'm allowed to go on loan for next season so we're looking for a club now. "We're waiting for clubs, maybe Championship, we'll have to see."

Good news. Hope Solano is only for one year.

No way. Give someone like Ben Haim £70k, and when we do start going for the top stars, we'll be looking at Owen-style wages. You clearly have no idea where football wages are going. In the next few years for a top player your going to be looking atleast 100k+ no matter what the situation. Predictions are that withing the next 2 years we'll see the first 200k-a-week player. Wages are gonna skyrocket and simple fact is we have to pay up or lose out. We had to pay Barton 70k and even then West Ham offered 10k more.

Hopefully we sign him!

Stozo clearly oblivious to the superb signing that was Oguchi Onyewu. To be honest I could never understand why we didn't utilize his long throw. Onyewu isn't in the same league as Halfiord though. I've seen halford throw the ball from inside his own half into the penalty area.

I'd have loved Halford here. He seems an average defender but he seems worth it just for his 50 yard long throw.

To be fair to the guy he's not using it as his lead story and it is the summer so not exactly much to write about.

Definetly disagree with that. I've watched him several times in both the Eredivisie, CL and for Holland's youth teams and never has he been better than average. He's only 18 so their is time for improvement but right now he is nowhere near the finished article.
