A reported £8.5m price tag will be offered up, with a possibility of moving Emre in the other direction as "bait", quite why anyone would want Emre as a replacement for a decent player is beyond me at the moment, this offering is still well short of the £15m the Turkish outfit are asking. For those of you who aren't aware of Turan, he's 21 year old and plays left wing, apparently he can play on the right side too, he's played 60 times for Galatasaray, scoring 20 goals. As he is predominantly left, I see this as the end for Damien Duff, and possibly N'Zogbia, although after a recent statement from the latter, saying he wants to stay on Tyneside, and the fact that Duff has told close friends he want's away, it would seem the Irishman is away, this is backed up by him putting his house up for sale. Maybe he could sign for the Mackem Pikey Revolution. With Euro 2008 starting shortly, Galatasaray may want to hang onto Turan, his price tag will soar even more, or maybe justify the £15m should he do well for Turkey, however, his agent and father is reported to already have had talks with a senior member of NUFC over a reported £1.2m contract. It seem we aren't the only team after Turan, Spurs are thought to be considering a move, whilst Barcelona and Sampdoria are keeping tabs on the lad. Take a look at this compilation of him, looks a tricky player but as was stated to me on our message board, Youtube always makes them look good, unless your Titus Bramble. Should also be noted that Emre and Turan share the same agent (at least according to wiki). Don't think Emre will leave this summer though.

But we got Duff

PS3 with game. Nice, lucky you. Hate only having younger brothers, the only thing I got for my birthday was a handrawn picture of myself Even had to buy them a computer game the day after my birthday! Those little bastards http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/6739/afmlismyhndne2.th.jpg

What did he buy you for your birthday?

Just out of interest how many penalties did Shearer score for us? 46 How many did he miss? I can remember the one against Sunderland, then one in the 92th minute against Ipswich(?) when the score was 2-2 Actually I'd like to know that too. Off the top of My head I can think of: - Blackburn H 98/99 League cup - Everton H 98/99 - Southampton H 99/00 - Sunderland H 00/01 - Fulham A 01/02 - Ipswich H 01/02 - Fulham H 02/03 - Villa H 03/04 - Charlton H 03/04 (knocked in the rebound) - Wolves H 03/04 Partizan in the shoot-out? Quite possibly his biggest miss considering it wouldn't have went to sudden-death had he scored. Well obviously I remember that . Was just listing the in game ones. Just watched it on the tube, we missed the first three pens ffs. Dyer :angry:

Shearer won the league once

18 in 28 for Inzaghi this season! Not bad for a man turning 35 in 3 months

Parma Stats Internazionale 46.8% Possession 53.2% 6 Shots 7 1 Shots on target 1 1 Saves 1 Even game by the looks of it

Where did you discover that? I remember reading an article on Satanta saying a similar thing. Yeah their chairman was saying something about a release clause thje other day.

Not allowed, remove it before a mod has to Nice goal though

I'm somewhat surprised. Why go there to be a back-up player for Woodgate & King? Sure they are the most injury prone CB-pair in Europe, but I would have thought that Dunne would rather fancy being a starter here instead. Would have thought Dunne would be a starter at Spurs most of the time tbh. If Spurs get a dozen starts out of Ledders next season I think they'll be doing well. King's league appearances, I'm seeing a pattern: 04-05 38 05-06 26 06-07 21 07-08 3 08-09 0 ?

I was being somewhat sarcastic, given that Spurs appear to be looking to buy every available player under the sun, and particularly those previously linked to us. I know. I'm just assuming that the story is true and he'll join them.

In my heart I always knew that he wasn't the man for the job. Still it would have been very harsh not to give him a chance after our great run at the end of the season. 07/05 Newcastle 1 (0) - (0) 0 Chelsea 29/04 Birmingham 0 (0) - (0) 0 Newcastle 22/04 Newcastle 3 (2) - (0) 0 West Brom 17/04 Sunderland 1 (1) - (0) 4 Newcastle 15/04 Newcastle 3 (2) - (1) 1 Wigan 09/04 Middlesbrough 1 (0) - (2) 2 Newcastle 01/04 Newcastle 3 (3) - (1) 1 Tottenham

City have qualified for the UEFA cup, wonder if this will change anything? http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_3573561,00.html The odds on betfair went from: Stay: yes 7, no 1.1 to Stay: yes 3.85, no 1.24
