I'd think that Carroll would be quite close to another start...

Guthrie needs to start in the fooking prem man. He may not be 100% fit but his energy levels must be higher than that of the sloth and the paraplegic one. On the other hand he'll probably be even fitter come Saturday if he plays this game as well. true, but he'll also probably get injured Knowing our luck, probably yeah. Should be interesting to see a three-pronged striking force of Xisco, Carroll and Ranger though...

Smith, Guthrie, Carroll, Xisco, Edgar, Ranger & Krul set to start for the Reserves tonight.

A few months, come on, it was a year and a half wasn't it. He did very well as player-manager, manager, and youth development at both Millwall and Swindon as well as leeds iirc. How much are we actually paying Wise as a director of football, is it something daft like £2m per year? Thing i found most strange was Llambias description of what Dennis Wise does because what he described was basically a chief scout!!!!!! No club in the world pays anyone £2m per year for a chief scout. He wasn't with Kinnear, Ashley and Llambias last week at the training ground for the laughable attempt to make a breakthru in the transfer market so once he finds players he mustn't do the negoiating on the deals. Which again just points to him being a scout not a DOF. Why in his role of Director of Football as he not looked to replace our reserve team coach, Adam Sadler was given the boot along with KK and Terry Mac and the club have left Richard Money looking after both the reserve team and the academy. Just another sign of the mismanagement and poor running of this football club by the current regime. Llambias said specifically today that Wise (while having some role finding and recomending players) does indeed also do the negotiating, all Ashley and Llambias do at that stage is say yes or no when he pushes them for more money. As for the £2 million, I have no idea whether this is true (the only figure I have seen was 1.2 million or something but who the ferk knows) but I would doubt it. What amount of money would you be happy with? And Wise' role in appointing coaches, I dunno. Surely if anyone was to appoint coaches for the academy it would be Joe Joyce as academy director. Otherwise, while Money seems the main man, the youth and reserve personel seem pretty fluid. Calderwood took the reserve match this week to check out the seniors coming back probably, but what is Whartons role? Wharton is one of the Academy coaches, under 18's i think. , Money came in as the director of football, not even sure if Joyce is still at the club, he wasn't involved in the youth cup games, so if he's with the academy he's working with the younger kids, maybe under 16's or even younger but since Sadler went Money has been running the academy and taking the reserve games. Calderwood stepped in to take the reserve game but it was because Money was on a scouting trip not because they were checking the seniors coming back. JFK and Hughton watch every reserve home game anyway. Cheers for that. Just checked on .cock and Joyce would appear to still there thankfully so maybe Money has been moved up to the reserves full time? I agree we can always do with more people and hopefully things will become clearer as to the set up in the summer (still not sure what Elliott role is tbh), but they seem to be a good bunch working at those levels these days. Robbie Elliott works as fitness coach...

Adjei is a winger. Apparently he didn't start playing organised football until he was 12. Did one season as a 15-year-old in the 6th tier of Swedish Football and was then snapped up by Jönköpings Södra (Who play in the 3rd tier of Swedish Football.) He's made a couple of appearances for the u16 National Team and is supposed to be an extremely exciting talent. Loads of pace, good technique and good strength.

According to Swedish media the deal to bring Samuel Adjei to Newcastle has been finalised subject to a medical on Wednesday. The fee is reported to be worth up to 500K pounds.

FC Twente beat NAC Breda 4-1. McClaren has them sitting nicely in 2nd spot in the table. Now THAT'S weird...

Could mean that we are on the verge of signing Fox. Edit: 1 sec

No fucking chance! It would be brilliant though...wouldn't it?

Journal says our targets for today are Gomis, Veloso and Ebondo. http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2009/02/02/given-finally-gone-but-kinnear-eyes-a-striker-61634-22832718/

But it's not a good thing for an athlete to have too much muscle. I think if you're 26, 14 stone, and 6 foot then you either have too much muscle or too much fat. Not true. Most athletes have high BMI's. http://www.dietandfitnesstoday.com/bmiathletes.php

Said he's going to another premiership club That's what I said. Veloso and Nolan vs. Brom. Should be a good partnership

There's something in this...I can feel it!

So, wrong age and a cropped pic...nasty

I can't spot the mistake? Been looking for 5 minutes now. Cropped pic

Yep...I'll think we'll nick this 2-1. Lovenkrands and Xisco...

Barton is looking mightily pissed off...but at least he gives us some bite in the middle

He has passed a medical and signed a contract.

http://www.nkdomzale.si/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=744&Itemid=85 According to that site, which is the official site of Nk Domzale we've actually signed 16-year-old starlet Haris Vuckic. He's over in Newcastle for a medical right now. 16-year-old member of the Youth team NK Domzale Haris Vučkić today signed a contract with the elite members of the English Premier League Newcastlom Unitedom. The team from the island, the young Slovenian hopeful monitor for several months, today it is under full negotiations has also been an agreement between the two clubs, we have direct communication with the President Newcastla NK Domzale Oražem stand. At the Head domžalskega club traveled to the island as well as Harris, who before the signing of the contract to pass a medical examination and his father. More details on the crossing will be known today, when we'll get a statement Newcastla Haris Vučkića and President Staneta Oražma.

Owen actually looks like he's been stuck in "the Mumps Mode" since he came back from just that...

Mile Ashley? Bastard love-child of Mike Ashley and Miles Davis...

From Facebook: "Frank Wiafe Danquah is playing with myself just saw the gaffa and he spoke to me omg" Sounds a bit weird...

But since it's Dennis Wise who's calling the shots, it's probably 2-3 targets for JFK and 2-3 targets for Wise
