We'll really need him this season, hope he gets signed up and back on the mend as soon as poss.

I'll be so bloody pleased if this comes off, he seems like the kind of crazy talented player who'd inspire not just the fans but the players too. Plus you're no mug if you're rated in the £8m bracket and you're in the french team. Fingers crossed....or I'll top myself Hope we get that Uruguayan midfielder too, he seems a more defensive midfield type which may be handy for our squad.

apparently Ibrahimovic heard about this and has turned up at manchester airport, though city have refused to speak to him until they have permission, WTF

I think we should all turn up at his hotel, tell SSN where we are and start shouting WER GUNNA WIN DA LEEG WIV ARFAAA, over and over

all will be revealed in the morning I'm sure, I gotta sleep now but I'm guessing this thread will hit 200 by 8am

I live a few minutes away myself, seriously tempted to go out for a run 'past' there. Seriously, go scout it out and take your camera too, you never know!

lets just kidnap him

2-2 loven and vuckic realistically, we'll prolly get beat...hope I'm wrong!

CHRIS HUGHTON today confirmed that Sol Campbell will NOT be appointed captain at Newcastle United. And this leaves the door open for Kevin Nolan or Alan Smith to step into the breach that has been left vacant since Nicky Butt quit the Magpies last season. Chroniclelive revealed on July 23 that Nolan was in the box seat to be made new captain, but Hughton is still to reveal his decision, with Nolan, Smith and Joey Barton skippering the Magpies this summer so far. However, after ruling out a player-coaching role for the 35-year-old yesterday, Hughton again insisted he wants Campbell to focus on playing. He told the Chronicle today: "I can categorically say that Sol will not be captain. "I can completely rule that out and there is no truth in the talk that he will skipper this season. "That is still to be confirmed." Campbell was again being put through his paces at the club's Benton base today, but has been working away from the main group after his honeymoon. And he is highly unlikely to be anything but a spectator for the home game with PSV Eindhoven this weekend.

That's the key thing, I'm well happy about this news. Met him a few times and he seemed a really nice lad. Really hope he gets a few premier games under his belt for us this season, will really test him and see what we've got on our hands.
