We absolutely can't afford to lose Colo. That would be a total disaster, in my opinion. Should offer him an extension.

We'll no doubt move a couple of players on too, releasing more funds from Best, Smith, Ranger and Jos...erm I mean, yeah, another player of some sort. It's looking good so far

Gan on youtube man! there's a few videos of him. Seems a tidy passer, great at set pieces, good acceleration and has a canny bit of skill. Quality for free

Toon seal Marveaux coup http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_6994869,00.html Newcastle United have beaten Liverpool to the signing of French midfielder Sylvain Marveaux. The 25-year-old had appeared on course to sign for the Anfield club on a Bosman free transfer. But now Newcastle have nipped in to poach Marveaux and offer him a five-year deal, which he has accepted. The left-sided midfielder has been on Tyneside to finalise the move, which will shock Liverpool, who had presumed they had his signature in the bag. Newcastle looked at Marveaux earlier in the year, but it was presumed they had given up when Liverpool made their move. Marveaux is now set to become Newcastle's third signing of the summer, and he is the third French-born player to join following on from Yohan Cabaye and Demba Ba. Delight "It's a great coup to have signed Sylvain, who has received interest from a number of other clubs," said Toon chief Alan Pardew. "He may not be well known to many of our fans but he is a real talent and a player we have been keeping an eye on for some time. "It's been a good couple of days for us on the transfer front." Reports emerged on Friday that Marveaux had failed his medical at Anfield, but he confirmed this was not the case. "I do not want to go into details, but I did not sign for Liverpool because there was a contractual disagreement between the parties Thursday night," he confirmed to L'Equipe.

Seems like a quality bloke, looking forward to seeing how the rest of the window plays out. Good start thus far http://cache2.asset-cache.net/xc/116716707.jpg?v=1&c=NewsMaker&k=2&d=77BFBA49EF87892140FEB0FF7845C57D052D3D1778986562E19CBAE4630C9FB35A63E633CEC8385A

We've felt your pain...probably a record number of times

Depending on how many we get in, we may even be able to do a little squad rotation from time to time, just like the big boys

Well chuffed with this, I just hope he's followed by players of the same caliber!

We better not parade him around or anything, lets just keep it subtle please nufc. You can parade all you want at the end of the window after you've signed 5 quality players

Obviously he has plenty of time on his side but I've just not been convinced when I've watched him play. I wouldn't be fussed if he left..

rofl @ fools & horses with that teeth lass pic

You know, telling him to find a club is great but..........I won't be cracking the champagne open until he's actually left! Ho'way fat sam, get re-united already

if he's got any sense he won't join Swansea Newly-promoted Swansea City have lodged a £3million bid for Championship top scorer Danny Graham, according to Sky Sports sources. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_6963501,00.html

About Carlton Cole joining us? I know, makes me sick just thinking about it.

aye, he has lots of smudging around his neck normally

Just been watching a youtube vid called 'Achille Emana "The Painter" ' - a player we're supposedly after. Cracking talent that we're apparently haggling the price over, would love to see him for us. At 28, still got plenty left in the tank, so hopefully we agree an appropriate fee for him.

:lol:

Only just found out about this, pretty disappointing to be honest. He won't stay for another year if they're not offering anything now. He's guaranteed to leave this summer now, with all the reported interest in him. I'm sure there's more to this story but......well, if they can replace him with something better than it may be acceptable. Otherwise, bit of a disaster Only time will tell..

What usually happens is that we put some promising bids in early in the window, people get excited, lots of chatter happens...and is stretched out for the rest of the window as the player reluctantly waits for better offers. Then we find out at the end of the window that they were never realistically gonna join us in the 1st place. Hope I'm wrong but this guy is gonna join someone better surely. Looks a quality player though.

Just wondering which players you think should leave or be loaned out? And if sold, for how much? My votes for the exit door are: Shola - it won't happen but we can dream surely? [3m] Loven - may be time to let him go [2m?] Ranger - loaned out at all cost Perch - simply not good enough [at any cost] Kuqi - obvious reasons Campbell - see above Guthrie - only championship standard [3m] Vuckic - loan needed Kadar - loan needed Smith - sell at any cost Xisco - see above Lua Lua - loan

jonas, what a legend he is http://i55.tinypic.com/2r5ggg7.gif
