Boumsong wasn't signed in that window, though.

NUFC Official Statement: "Newcastle United can confirm that Cheick Tiote has not been signed. The club will not be making any further comments on that situation." (You never know...)

It's still working, though. (the link that I posted here before) It's still there, it's just the second one in the carousel now. There's a new piece about Wolves game. It's there again, now. It wasn't there a few minutes ago.

This really could be the best transfer window for us in many, many years.

I suspect 4 years, I think we won't be offering 5 year contracts to many players at all now Yeah, think it'll be 4 years as well. But strange that isn't confirmed.

Perch Williamson Colo Jose Tiote Routledge Jonas Ben Arfa Keane Carroll Although maybe that would work in FM better than the real world Hope that won't be the case as I want Barton in the starting XI.

Think it will be Best leaving if anyone. Keane and Carroll could be an excellent partnership, with Ben Arfa on the left or behind them ... mouthwatering. Aye, forgot about Best. But he won't be leaving. Who would buy Leon Best? And, who would buy an injured Leon Best?

Just have seen Hughton in his press conference on SSN. Have to say, the grin he had on his face and the way he looked after the Keane question confirmes it for me - he's signing.

Are there really no words on how long his contract is?

Behind Keane & Carroll? Away only behind one of them, preferable Carroll. My guess.

Signed! http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20100827/tiote-cheiks-into-toon_2240137_2136396

Of course there's a chance. Hughton knows him from his Spurs times (which has helped before with Sol and Routledge). The fact Keane is Irish would have been a little help as well, I think.

He looked quite good under Roeder at the start of the 06/07 season iirc. His hip let him down that time.

If we signed Keane it will surely mean one of Xisco, Shola or Lovenkrands out of the door.

He wouldn't have got into their starting XI. So, yes, it is. Fair enough, but still, turning down Madrid and Mourinho, probably the best manager in the world to play for us makes me pretty happy if true. He only turned down the 2nd best manager of the world, man. He's joined the best one.

It's a good thing having depth. We will get injuries and suspensions so we will need to use them. True. Will still be interesting what our new look team will look like then. We haven't had that many options for some years.

He wouldn't have got into their starting XI. So, yes, it is.

I won't change my vote, allways have been at 1.

Quite hard to make a starting XI if Keane, Tiote, Ben Arfa all signed and Gosling and Campbell both became fit.

What percentage of that is Man City? I'm not sure, probably around £250,000,000 That's 86%

Who needs Mourinho! Aye, and some on here keep saying Hughton isn't a top class manager.

That's what we have to hope for.

Just think about it if Hughton and Calderwood both resigned and we're left with Paul Barron in charge. The only answer would be Kinnear...

Think Spurs are stronger than they are, but in the CL it's always that thing with the home and away games. Can see Spurs getting 6 points from Bremen, though.
