Cracking Shout Messi and then Dani Alves for me.

Very good defender, but a complete arse clown.

Beardsley, Lee Clark, Tino The Real Ronaldo, Redondo, Dani Alves, David Villa, Vicente & Alvaro Recoba

Fair play for the charity donation, but it's a pittance compared to the signing on fee he's going to pocket, just trying to save face.

Would rather see him push Duff out of a fourth storey window, but beggars can't be choosers. Quality.

Clint Dempsey

Oh my goodness! How depressing. Young Nigerian midfielder, although I think he will be representing Spain in the future, who is a big talent. Wish we were in there for him. Damn. Tony ADams is getting some itneresting deals done for sure. First Pele and now Sunny. He is a good player, but he is already on loan from Valencia, so don't they have to sanction the move and not Osasuna?

He's not!

He looked quality at PSV a while back, not seen him recently though.

According to .com, Wise & Vetere have flown to Brazil, so i'm not expecting anything to happen anytime soon!

Terrible player.

Juan for the Toon By STEVE BRENNER NEWCASTLE are set to make a transfer window swoop in January for Fiorentina’s Peruvian midfielder Juan Vargas. The 25-year-old ace is rated at around £8million but has failed to settle in Serie A. And he would be available on loan with a view to a permanent switch in the summer. Director of football Dennis Wise jetted to Italy last weekend only to find Vargas was crocked. But Toon gaffer Joe Kinnear has already seen and heard enough to want to bring him over to St James’ Park. Vargas can play at left-back, left wing or in central midfield — and would instill some much needed creativity into the struggling Toon. Good work Dennis!

They don't get on anyway, didn't Ashley stitch him up for fixing the price of replica shirts or something along those lines?

Totally agree, which is why the likes of Jermaine Jenas are always selected to the surprise of some, because he is a 'great' athlete.

Three months out, brings us pretty close to the next transfer window, might not see him in a Toon shirt again.

If, and it's a huge IF, does Terry Mac return too?

He obviously rates him higher than Stephen Warnock Which in my opinion he would be right to do.

Always disliked him. Waste of skin.

They actually have quite a strict wage structure, which they have only recently broken to provide new deals to keep Villa & Silva. the main problem with their debt is that they laid out a massive amount for new land and the development of a new stadium, and then didn't manage to sell the land they own for anywhere near what they thought it was worth. Oh totally agree the New stadium The Callederon or something isn't it? Had a massive impact on finances, but I think they were guilty of spending what they didnt have at times, people like Joaquin, they have often had rather large squads, and have generally wasted money. But you make a spot on point that the new Stadium devlopment or lack of funds they received for the old ground contributed hugely to the 260m Euro debt. The very imaginatively named 'Nou Mestalla' with a 75,000 capacity in time for the start of next season. You are right about the large squads, with loads of average players being loaned out all over Europe and Valencia having to make significant contributions to their wages.

Spanish sides are allowed a maximum of 3 Non-EU players.

Exactly the same thought crossed my mind. Imagine O'Dreary chewing Ashley's ear about how he could work wonders with the young squad!

The mail have updated their story and say he will be sacked today.

The old KK would have walked. An ITK on Skunkers reckons he has.
