SUPERTOON

We rejected the bids.

Absolutely, on his way to WBA though isn't he?

Radosav Petrovic having medical at Blackburn. He any good?

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_7064014,00.html Sky Sports sources understand Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe would turn down a move to Newcastle if given the option. The 28-year-old has been linked with a £10m transfer to the Magpies, who are still looking to replace Andy Carroll, who moved to Liverpool in January. Manager Alan Pardew is thought to have made Defoe a summer target, and is also keen on Turkish forward Mevlut Erdinc, who could make the move to the North East by the end of the week.Defoe played 76 minutes of Spurs' friendly win over the MK Dons on Tuesday night and remains part of Harry Redknapp's plans for the new season. There have been difficulties in finalising Erdinc's £7m move from PSG, although the transfer could be completed when Newcastle return from their tour of the USA on Thursday. Defoe's strike partner, Peter Crouch, has also been a target for the Toon but Alan Pardew wasn't prepared to pay £9m for the 30-year-old. .

:banana: Agree, unless of course we get Crouch instead.

Where does it say he has signed?

In our current position, Defoe would be a brilliant signing.

Shorey, Bridge and Warnock

There was nowt wrong last season under Pards.

We any closer on this? Douglas seems confident we are getting him.

Are PSG in the champs league next season? Who is their manager?

Pretty much ever signing we are trying to make? Plus the not offering long contract to players over 28?

Think it would make more sense for them to bring in another striker and go with two up top, they relied to heavily on VDV scoring from an advanced role last season.

This would be nothing like the Luque signing.

MsiDouglas Mark Douglas As for terms, I was told Erdinç agreed terms last month before the delays so HOPEFULLY it won't be an issue. #nufc

Wonder which one is the bigger idiot?

So they just refuse to do it for someone who asks for it in the shop?

There was no reason at all for them to mention his wages in that article like.

Has said he will decide this week if he will loan him out.

Maybe he just isn't good enough? He has been here long enough for the people to know now surely?

Thought it said he can buy a striker and a full back and after that it is sell before we buy?

Didn't Douglas say we wouldn't be signing anyone on loan and we were not interested in Sturridge only a couple of weeks ago?

What the bit about them being happier with their business than we are about ours? Not from my point of view.

Hmmm, I wonder if he's going to go on the US tour. Pardew said he is, so no he is not.
