Thought we played well in spells, but Middlesbrough deserved their point. Thought Gook was offside for their goal and did interfere with play by blocking Carr vision as he attempted to head the ball, what is the offside rule?

Wasn't Forrester poached from another club? I'm happy with the youth signings: Kadar - From Hungarian club Zalaegerszegi and is a defender. He has made it into the Hungary U21 squad. Ngo Baheng - Signed from Le Havre and is of French/Congolese descent. He is a striker. Tozer - Defender who has some experience with Swindon. Soderberg - Swedish goalkeeper who has signed from BK Hacken. Zamblera - Italian U18 striker who has signed from Atalanta. I would think that we will see lots of local players leave the club in the near future (those who have been around for ages and never looked likely to feature at first team level similar to Gate when he was here).

Rozehnal will look good in Italy because the pace of the game is a lot slower and it is not as physical in Serie A. This will probably lead to people saying why we let this quality player go, but he hasn't settled into the Premiership and constantly pulled out of challenges (Lassana Diarra against Arsenal at home in the centre circle and the Stoke game, Wilkinson?). He didn't look like he would effectively challenge for the ball in the air and was often outmuscled. When he did have time to pass the ball he wasn't to bad, but you don't get time on the ball in England. Overall a decent player, but not cut out for the Premiership. A little sub point, we paid £2.9m according to some media reports for him, but wasn't about £400,000 of it appearance based?

Alan Stubbs - Everton to Derby.

La Lazio ha chiuso in extremis un altro acquisto, lo rivela il presidente Lotito: "Per fatti non imputabili alla volontà della società stava per accadere di nuovo quanto avvenuto questa estate - il mancato ingaggio di un giocatore, ndr - C'era un problema legato al mancato funzionamento dei fax. Uno era rotto, nell'altro invece mancava l'inchiostro ma abbiamo recuperato e alla fine abbiamo preso Rozenhal sul filo del rasoio". L'ultimo arrivato è il giocatore dal Newcastle, 27 anni, nato in Repubblica Ceca. The president of Lazio revealed that they tried to sign Rozehnal in the summer and now have got their man just. There was a problem with the fax machine having no ink, maybe its been in overdrive? No mention of it being a loan from Gazzetta.

I think its around £300,000 initially.

Just what was in the Chronicle on Tuesday which was £300,000 initially and other clauses which I can't remember.

Was training at Fulham..please don't tell me they signed him? Fulham have boosted their squad with the capture of veteran striker Jari Litmanen. The 36-year-old, once of Liverpool, was unattached.

15.00 - Un altro giovane del vivaio atalantino parte per la Gran Bretagna. Fabio Zamblera, 18 anni, attaccante già convocato dalle nazionali giovanili, ha firmato un contratto di quattro anni con il Newcastle. Si tratta dell'ennesimo "scippo" al vivaio bergamasco dopo i casi Dalla Bona, Percassi, Mannone e Sala. It is on Gazzetta that he has signed a 4 year contract with Newcastle following the likes of Mannone and Dalla Bona to England.

1436: The Newcastle press office have just been very coy when asked whether the club are poised to sign Fabio Zamblera from Atalanta in Italy. They are, apparently, waiting to hear confirmation from "upstairs".

"I have just finished cutting Everton chairman Bill Kenwright's grass and saw him in his conservatory talking with Shola Ameobi and some other guys." jeez from the BBC.

Yep, 108 caps and he could be signing for Fulham today.

There could be the possibilty of another player joining them today if he gets signed up. Who is it? Clue: He has played in the Premiership before.

Turns out its Kasey Keller and Van Der Sar.

I have no idea, but it has to be a goalkeeper as they are more likely to keep there place at International level, unless your Paul Robinson/David James.

There are only two players belonging to Premiership teams who have 100 caps for their countries. Any ideas? it was on the BBC.

According to McKay, Chimbonda will not be leaving Tottenham.

Read in the Chronicle that we are signing an Italian youngster from Atalanta for an initial £300,000 with Vetere behind the deal. Anyone any ideas?

My opinion is that it is something new for Newcastle and should be given the chance to try and see if it will work. It may yield more success, which isn't hard after the previous regime/style of management at this club.

Reading have signed Mali player Jimmy Kebe from Lens. I saw him for Boulogne in August and he isn't Premiership class. I wonder if anyone signs Brendell from Namibia.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/africa/7212930.stm Explains where Round is and glad to see we are looking for new players.

Ever since Winsper left maybe?

Just out of interest how long did Bowyer and Dyer get suspended for? I know it wasn't as bad the Adebayor-Bendtner clash.

Adebayor shouldn't even be playing....sounds an unlucky goal to conceed.

Phil Thompson has just ejaculated.
