wonder how he passed his medical with him being injured for another 2 months or so You could have said Diego

might be a good thing he didn`t sign as he injured himself on his debut in their draw with Porto at the weekend

Bernard too

who?

Finnan linked to Espanyol as part of the deal for Riera (they just sold their right back to City)

wonder if he`s gonna have `Nacho` on the back of his shirt as many South Americans tend to do? would be mint

Type Ignacio Gonzalez Danubio

the lads on the Depor forum say they`re having a bit of a striker crisis with their now 1st choice forward `Riki` getting injured against Real the other day.....meaning they have only 2 current fit strikers. Perhaps we can punt them Shola and/or Smith.....wishful thinking

ffs Holland is only an hour on the plane from NCL

You can get to Goodison in 4 hours from Newcastle. Still time left! I`ll fkin drive him there if I have to

that could be a good signing, could play wide out right or as a striker. Good player. according to Anal Oliver he`s a left back though

If we flog Krul and get this lad in I`d be well pissed. Don`t think its true though......I think KK had Forster on the bench last season so he must have a bit of faith in him to not bring in another keeper. Really hope Krul stays or goes on loan at the most (which might be the best thing)

this on the Villa forums "Numbs the pain of them losing Milner to us" http://www.villatalk.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=43950&sid=158f9dcf4c40f50c24cce34b1552d3fe

from the Deportivo forums Xisco also suffers from the occassional muscular problems but if KK wants a target man alongside the likes of Owen/Martins, he could fill that role well and chip in with a few goals too. I think his team play has been his most improved attribute in the last year. His holding up of the ball with his back to goal, thus allowing the midfield to join the attacks was a feature of last year that really improved noticeably. He's also a brave striker, not scared to roll his sleeves up and get stuck in, which will no doubt go down well with the Geordie faithfull. He's not exactly lightning quick but for a target man, he has a turn of speed.

in the Deportivo forums they`re saying former Toon hero Luque is on his way to join Malaga

I agree with what Shearer says here --- "When you consider he has got a goal every two games it's a big shock," Shearer said on BBC's Match Of The Day Two programme. "None of the other players have got a good goalscoring record at international level but Michael Owen has. "He's the sort of player who, if you are 1-0 down to Croatia, you would want to come off the bench and get you a goal."

ffs, as said in the article it was non alcoholic of course..... "Mike was offered a drink which he thought was non-alcoholic so he took it in good faith."

Surely it's a good thing we're at least discussing this calibre of player though? That's my point. I see your point but we didnt even move for Nasri. maybe we didnt have the chance anyway KK"I don’t know what the French players think about Joey, you’d have to ask the French players. I saw what Nasri said about not signing for Newcastle (because of Joey) but I’m not going to say anything to them.”" http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2008/09/01/taylor-is-pleased-to-take-break-61634-21645295/ btw, the article also confirmed we wont sign "Zamil Zagette"

has anyone bought him in FM? any good? (serious question )

Here`s a more detailed profile about the Xisco kid (apologies if double post).....long read mind http://www.deportivo-la-coruna.com/page.php?cid=178

The Xisco story is not mentioned in most (if not all?) the papers this morning.....looks like they didn`t have a clue about this one either I`m sure it will be an Alan Oliver `exclusive` in todays Chron mind

Played 45 times for Depor Scored 46 goals Can we pls cut out this sort of nonsense.....not funny! Read somewhere that its 9 goals out of 23 appearances.....not prolific but if he is the targer man type, then he will bring more than goals to our game coz aside from Viduka, we dont have one (unless you think of Ameobi as a target man ) they were avergae as well last season i guess, 9th weren't they? hardly like he was up front for barca, might improve with our attacking game apparently he had a few injuries as well (not to the extent of Viduka I believe)

Get to f***ing bed you lunatic just up man! 4 hours ahead of blighty where i am Hehe, thought you were Newcastle based, closing in on 10pm here, will head off to bed in a couple of hours hopefully when i wake, there'll be some nice surprises on the board. Labour day here tomorrow to, so i get a day off windows a balls ache for me, have to sit in the office all day waiting on rumours/confirmations that never come along then wake up in the morning (3am UK time) to find we've made some underwhelming signing or other not this year though, this ones gonna be different ain't it? ain't it? please say its so! I've been down in the dumps about it since the day after Coventry however today i'm feeling, we could be in for an exciting day/night i'll reserve this in full for tomorrow morning, of course, but we're still sailing awfully coincidentally towards that similar net spend amount (10m ish if we sign xisco for the reported fee) from last season eh? hopefully plus the 3m fee for Alan Smith .....not to mention the high wages we`ll be saving. Can`t imagine the signings we`re bringing in (even Xisco) would be on the wages Smith is on.

and now they just completely ignore us http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1051144/Hull-sign-Guinea-defender-Zayatte-Evertons-noses.html
