Great freekick

Time to lower their asking price.

Come to daddy, Aly.

5m max I'd say realistically.

Happy days.  Wanted him to replace Enrique for a long time.

Luuk de Jong?

Good news.  Lovely piece of skill from him in the 5 minutes he was on the pitch flicking the ball back to Obertan.

Think he will have a good season.

Oh that's great news.  What a player.

Don't really have much expectations so if we sign anyone it will be a bonus.

Don't think Gignac would adapt to the prem.

Hope he doesn't take to the news well.

Sky Italia obviously don't know much about Newcastle fans if they are giving out flight numbers. 

Liverpool are playing very well

He probably knows Ben Arfa as well as they were both playing for France against Norway last year.

Beast.

Well done Taylor.

Watched the training session before the Kansas game and Best's finishing was immaculate. During shooting practice he scored from about 6/8 attempts. The only other player tucking them away was Ba. Abeid could generate real power on his shots but wasn't able to hit the corners.

Best also looks the best all round athlete of the bunch and showed great determination in the practice match.

Vuckic!!!

well in Colo

whats a lollipop move?

Step-overs I think. 

Fuck.  Any idea of the fee?

FABRICIO COLOCCINI’s £85,000-a-week wages should just about cover the extra English language lessons he is planning now that he has been made Newcastle United’s new skipper.

In any language Fabricio Coloccini’s colossal wages – he was easily the best paid player in the Championship two seasons ago – are controversial, but his popularity with Newcastle fans is not remotely in doubt.

His reputation soared last season and with Kevin Nolan having departed for West Ham United earlier this summer the Argentine centre-half was the obvious choice for the armband, even though he insists the honour came as a shock.

“The club has a lot of leaders and I am sure the manager could have chosen any of them to be captain,” he said.

“That’s why it is a surprise he picked me, but I’m really happy to have been chosen.

“This is the first time I have ever been a captain. I spoke with my English teacher last week because I have to start my lessons again. I left my course last year because my English had improved to a certain level, but now I am the captain, I think it needs to be even better.

“It is my responsibility to improve. Now I am the captain I will have a lot more speaking to do and I want to be able to do that properly.”

Captain Coloccini, who arrived at St James’ Park three years ago from Deportivo La Coruna for £10.3million, delivered a fairly modest return in his first season but has blossomed in the last two campaigns – with the result that manager Alan Pardew’s choice was a relatively straightforward one.

Coloccini said: “In Spain the captain is normally the player who has been at the club for the most years. That is how most Spanish clubs choose their captain.

“Being a captain in England is different. It is a much bigger responsibility and I am ready for that. The fans and the press give the captain more importance and you are seen as much more of a figurehead.”

The FA, meanwhile, will today investigate the appalling crowd disturbances which marred a pre-season friendly at Darlington on Friday. An FA spokesman said: “We will be contacting both clubs, the police and other officials before deciding what action, if any, to take.”

The FA have been impressed with the club’s total condemnation of Friday’s events, which saw hundreds of fans invade the pitch and several skirmishes break out.

Brilliant pass and shot.

Imagine what it's like for Wor Mehdi coming on under these circumstances.
