Newcastle United and Manchester City are reportedly tracking Porto defender Bruno Alves. Alves has been in excellent form for the Portuguese Liga champions, and reports claim scouts from both United and City have been monitoring his progress. The 26-year-old's current contract runs until 2012, and it is claimed that Porto would not accept an offer of less than 30million euros (£23.6million). The central-half's agent, and father, has confirmed that a number of clubs are interested in signing Alves. Grand proportions "Porto is not interested in a sale right now, but anything is possible after Euro 2008," agent Washington Alves said. "Bruno is playing very well. A number of European clubs have asked about his contract situation." The Porto defender added: "I am flattered by the reports but I have signed a deal with Porto, which complicates an exit. "The club would only study an offer for me if the fee was of grand proportions."

“I’m not misleading anyone there. If we finish fifth it’d be a massive achievement considering where we are now. “I didn’t say I hadn’t got any money to spend this summer, I said I haven’t got enough to make up that gap to the top four. “I think Mike Ashley will support me. I don’t think there will be a problem there, but the problem might be getting the players. I get on great with the owner because I never talk to him! That’s better than some managers at the moment! No communication is good now! “But however much money he gives me the biggest challenge is getting players to come to you when they’ve got three or four alternatives. And if they’re really good players they will have three or four alternatives. “Even if someone gives you a barrel-load of money you have to be honest and say you’re not going to get the best players. There’s a pecking order - If I’m a player and I get the option to go to Chelsea or Newcastle, the Press would slaughter me, asking where my ambition was (if I chose Newcastle). “All the great players will go for where the honours are and if they don’t make it there they’ll drop to a Newcastle.” Basically we will have a go but will be mostly disappointed

Sam will be pleased

Chelsea the cheating b*******

Last time at St James COME ON SON

So eff'ing late! On a few minute delay here, but I just mean in general on the day we've been unlucky. Owen has missed at least 3-4 chances and Martins with 2. Could have won if we had bothered turning up at the start of the second half also musnt forget CHelsea have to win

What a miss!!!

Smith playing is not helpful

SMITH

Smith is so Useless

What has happened this half

Hopefully his last time as a newcastle player at St James Park

Nice going into this game with no pressure watching the relegation games yesterday knowing we could have been down there

Exactly basically saying pay for him now or get them free in a couple of weeks

On his way to Madrid

Very bad dont know exact figures http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11837_3500139,00.html

There in a financial crisis and have to sell they have no choice

Keane to get rid of all his deadwood in the next two weeks says he will pay them off if no one wants to buy them will be releasing half his team

No would be terrible signings

Smith Cacapa Rozenhal Carr Shola Ramage Duff

Come On Stoke show me the money

One paper reckons Arsenal only have 25 million dont see wenger splashing big on Martins if that is true

would go 10 million reckon he would be a great signing
