will have been mentioned already but the Mackems are really scraping the barrel showing their interest in Andy Cole........maybe he's still "Outstanding" though http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_2660575,00.html

...but hes just so..................ugly.... :-[

Haha I initially read the title as 'Owen just been dropped off a helicopter' then I thought what more bloody bad luck does this guy need?!?!

http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1091133,00.html Owen: I'm Up For Villa Date MICHAEL Owen came through 60 minutes of his comeback match and afterwards declared himself and fit and available for Aston Villa on Saturday. Newcastle United's record signing missed the bulk of the pre-season and the opening day 3-1 win at Bolton with a niggling thigh complaint. But, after a run-out at Kingston Park against Unibond outfit Newvcastle Blue Star, the 27-year-old told Newcastle World TV in an exclsuive interview that he is now raring to go again. "I feel fine, it was only a small injury, a little niggle. "It had me out for a couple of weeks but I've trained the last four or five days and I was confident I'd be fine and it was good to get back out on the pitch. "It's a little frustrating to have missed some of the pre-season games but I've been able to do all the running work. "It's only in the last couple of weeks when I might've missed a little bit of football and tactical work so I don't think I've missed much in terms of fitness and strength which is crucial and I've still been working hard in the gym. "As a player you always look forward to the first game of the season and it's a little frustrating if you miss it. "I probably vould've played a part against Bolton but I'm pleased we took the decision not to play. It means I've only missed one game and now I'm available again. "I'd been doing a bit of shooting practice when I just felt my thigh a little and probably hit one ball too many. "I'm available again now and I feel fit and playing again was great. I'll train for the next few days and I'll be available for Saturday."

Is there much substance to this daily mail link tho? no quotes and possibly just rehashing old info?

I agree with this result

Haha fuckin hell whos the spaz in charge of the camera, could they not have picked a quieter location too..... FUCKIN CHIP SHOP JOURNALISM!

No, Albert for me all the way!

Nobby is legend, a Toon legend, not a cockney legend. We kiss the ground he walks on here and shower him with black and white petals............he's not going anywhere................... ..............WITHOUT A FUCKING FIGHT!!

I hope he fkn settles in okay, don't want another Viana do we. I'm sure he will because with Viana he always had competition for his midfield place, whereas Enrique has the left back slot all to himself. This means he'll play most games for us at LB which will settle him better than playing a few games here and there, barring injury of course

He'll forever remain a backup player for me and nothing more. Hes had all the opportunities in the world at this club and should never expect to be 1st choice. I'd say if he does nothing special this year, he'll most likely be ousted next summer...............as always tho, I'd love to see him scoring freely for us

Did he??? thats hilarious hahaa Well imo i want Carrol to go out on loan because Luque is the man to take his place

I really want him to stay, help Enrique and finally get some games under his belt. All thats lacking is match fitness but you can see from pre-season that he can do the business despite not playing perfectly. I want this to be a new start for him as this season is his big chance to prove the doubters wrong. He'll get plenty of chances to shine if he stays fit blueyes.gif

We have quite a global network here at N-O Can't wait to see Jose settle in and get stuck into some games

Seconded arkanoider well done matey!

One more right sided Center back is what we need and I'd be happy as larry, we'd be covered in every position which is normally unheard of at nufc

what?

tad harsh tbh

I'd cry with joy if that happened. Pure poetic perfection........ *sniffs* :sad5: :tearyeyed:

What did he tell you personally?

Personally, I think in a years time he'll be ready. Not now as he still has much to learn, as Sam mentioned recently.

Can't read anything into this as no new quotes have been used, only older ones that have been reworded. I'll keep my fingers crossed tho as I'd love for him to sign!

So this whole story is a myth then? :disgust:

Yeah I've heard of it..
