It's not the worst team in the world TBF. Obvious weak points of Edgar and Zog at full backs but at least Zog will bomb forward.

This could be a huge game for the lad. The most important game of his Toon career that is for sure.

I'd like to see how his pace complements Jonas ability to create space. I too am at Blackburn, so hopefully i will see his debut.

Surely if this lad is 22 then he isn't a youngster signing? More like Guthrie's signing.

If the argy is not saviola i will be shocked. Apparently everton are in for him too though.

Offered contract until the end of the season. If he impresses in training that is good enough for me. Mind you Shola and Duff are both good in training apparently. Kinnear quotes; "Newcastle United have snapped up former-Rangers, and Schalke 04 winger Peter Løvenkrands on a free transfer. The Danish International has agreed a deal extending his stay until the end of the season, when he will be given the opportunity to decide on his future. 'We have spoken about him staying with me until the end of the season and then looking at it at the end of the season, and that's the position we find ourselves in at the moment,' Magpies gaffer Joe Kinnear said. 'He is happy to do that, so hopefully we can tie something up and make something permanent at the end of this week for the rest of the season."

No risk is the key word. As long as his wages are low and it's a relatively short term contract, it shouldn't cost us.

I saw him described as a winger somewhere. Both Geovani and Boateng were released in the summer, they aren't exactly doing bad for Hull.

Remember Jonas "poor record" Gutierrez? Wouldn't argue with his ability.

Given Taylor Bassong Coloccini Enrique Butt Guthrie Duff Jonas Owen Carroll Score 3-1

why not, man city are trying to get bellamy in, jo has hardly played, could easily get him on loan Hardly a bad deal for city either. He could come here and perform well, then they could sell him in the summer or keep him.

Anyone seen the bit in bold confirmed elsewhere? Seems fairly common knowledge now mate. Seems to have been mentioned in alot of places, so i can't imagine it's not true. Still gunning for us to sign Mendes.

I agree.

Or about who's available? The fact we are taking him on trial means we are not wanting to just sign anyone, as tempting as it is. Wouldn't mind seeing the lad on a six month contract. Hopefully there will be more faces through the door. Bring him in and let JK decide, the man that wants to build a teama round Shola We will sign Løvenkrand and I am okay with that he is free fair enough but I just hope its not what we are looking for, I hope there is money to spend. Managers talk shite mate, KK did it loads and so has Kinnear. If he really rated Ameobi he would have been in the starting line up when Oba and Owen were fit.

Looks like a lefty, took free kicks and penalty's with his left?

Never going to happen though. Even with Man City's clout it's hard to get players from other clubs first teams in.

Feb 2nd: "It was lost in translation, i have never wanted to leave the club. I enjoy playing alongside by best pal Bassong"

Without sounding all "geordie superhuman race". I would like to see Bruce because he knows the club and the region.

Was reported in the sunday sun anarl. We will find out in the morning i suppose.

Team; Given Taylor Coloccini Bassong Enrique Butt Guthrie Duff Jonas Owen Carroll Score; 3-1 Two positives to come out of the West Ham games were Jonas playing on the left and Carroll's goal. Butt will come back in and that's probably the correct choice.

Mendes has been by far the best rumour. For 1.5m he would be a bargain. What i would have done to have someone who can keep hold of the ball yesterday.

I'm sure it was lovenkrands, anyone know who was with harmisson before the match because they walked past me?

I have a horrible feeling alot of this match depends on Bellamy. What i will say is that we have beaten better sides at home (Spurs, Villa), ignoring the fact we have lost against worse.

Noone noticed the new link to Riise on .com?
