Both Newcastle and Everton have had bids accepted for Baines and he is holding talks with both clubs according to skysports.com Link

Idiotic move by us. We really have no hand to play. If the transfer doesn't go through we are left with a player who does not want to be here and who will undoubtly become dejected and be of no value to us on the pitch. I mean can anyone actually see Dyer coming back and getting on with it, I certainly can't and I thoroughly expect him to play up fuck and disturb the dressing room until he gets his wish. It's going to be a complete disaster as if we keep him as undoubtly we'll have to sell him in January or next summer for half the price as he'll mope about and stir shit which will leave us no option but to not play him.

Never had a problem with them myself and been with them about 2 years.

Ashley after more cash seems to be the general consensus.

All the papers say the deal has collapsed and unless Newcastle drop their price it won't go through.

Like the sound of this guy, get him in.

From what I've read if both deals are done then Smith and Cacapa are likely to join Allardyce at his pre-Sampdoria press conference, which is later today.

Barton and Smith will kick the shit out most teams this year. Certainly not going to be soft touches away from home.

Would love to have someone like Kevin Nolan brought in but more realistically I'd like Giles Barnes.

SSN are saying that Chelsea have officially given us permission to talk to Geremi. So I presume that means he won't be entirely free.

Would love to have the Chelsea trio here. Think it would be a great move.

I don't imagine Rigters is a replacement for either Martins or Owen. More like a 5th striker as Carroll is likely to be loaned out.

In a way I'm resigned to losing either Martins or Owen. The only thing I hope now is that we get a decent replacement.

I think we could sign another CB. Beye can play RB. Geremi can play either flank. Huntington is likely to be loaned out. Edgar probobly isn't ready yet. Then with Edmilson out until November we'll most likely need another CB.

Forgetting my Newcastle bias, it's gonna be amazing seeing Berbatov and Bent play up front next season. Could be one of the most lethal strikeforces in the Premiership.

Martins has a £13 million release clause.

Source? .com and a couple of mates.

Signed apparently but will be announced and unveiled at a later date with other signings.

Minus Parker who we sold for £7 million. So would actually be £1.8 million. Outrageously good business. And with the Owen compo means we are actually running a £8.2m profit so far. Owen compo was nowhere near £10m like the Chronicle stated.

Link SAM ALLARDYCE clinched his first defensive signing for Newcastle United when David Rozehnal arrived at St James’ Park from Paris St Germain. And the United boss is expected to go back to France for another defender in Marseille’s versatile Habib Beye, who is at home both at right-back and centre-half. Rozehnal was at St James’ Park yesterday afternoon to talk terms and have a medical after his £2.7m transfer from PSG, which will see the 26-year-old Czech international sign a four-year deal. And he certainly had a rocking welcome to Tyneside, as along with the likes of Allardyce, Sir Bobby Robson, Freddy Shepherd, Lee Clark and Terry McDermott, Rozehnal enjoyed the Rod Stewart concert at St James’ Park. He stopped rocking briefly to say: “Coming to a great club like Newcastle United is reward for all the hard work I have done throughout my career.” United have seen off Borussia Dortmund for Rozehnal’s signature, and even when UEFA Cup holders Sevilla showed late interest, the player had already set his heart on Newcastle, with his acquisition compensating for missing out on Tal Ben Haim to Chelsea. He is United’s sixth signing from PSG, following in the footsteps of Sylvain Distin, Alain Goma, Laurent Robert, Didier Domi and David Ginola. And I expect United to go back to France for the current Marseille skipper, the 29-year-old Senegalese Beye, once the defender returns from holiday. Beye played in both the UEFA Cup games against United in 2004 when Marseille went through thanks to Didier Drogba. And the season before last he did likewise against Allardyce’s Bolton Wanderers in the UEFA Cup. Beye has plenty of experience, but this will not stop Big Sam from stepping up his efforts to bring Sami Hyppia to St James’ Park once Liverpool sign a replacement for the Finnish international. Meanwhile, things are starting to hot up at St James’ Park both on and off the field. Another new arrival is expected to be Mark Taylor – a key member of Allardyce’s backroom staff at Bolton Wanderers – with the rather grand title of Head of Sport Science. When Freddy Shepherd bumped into Allardyce at the HMV awards near the end of last season in London, the United chairman’s main topic was to find out why Bolton had had so few injuries. Hartlepool-born 42-year-old Taylor is the main reason and he will be a welcome arrival at St James’ Park.

To be honest it doesn't really matter as long as he is in by the start of pre-season training next week.

Chronicle seem to think he won't be here until Wednesday.

Been said before Dein can't join us as he has a significant shareholding in Arsenal. Neally sold up aparently Can't sell up as their is currently an agreement in place that for a year nobody in the current Arsenal heirarchy will sell their shares. That means none of Hill-Wood and that lot can buy the club and it also means it's impossible for Kroenke to takeover. Also take your head out of the clouds, Dein is an Arsenal fan and in a year he will be back on the board when Kroenke takes over.

Been said before Dein can't join us as he has a significant shareholding in Arsenal.

Are we really gonna do this every single day. 99% of the stuff in that probobly has no truth in it and is pure guesswork.
