Well, I've been searching the internet for positive news today & found none so I'll grab onto this one and cling to it.

His loss. Seemed the player wanted to leave but looking likely he'll be there for at least another season.

Loving the quote "Newcastle are a beautiful club" ☺

Disagree really. The comment about playing time is important. Would he get in over Ba Cisse? I actually think it depends how we're playing. If we're doing the 4-3-3 I think yes, De Jong would get in ahead of Ba on that left flank.

It's sounding a bit better than it was earlier, personally I think from the noises coming from his agent he may fancy a move to us. As we know with Debuchy though, if we don't offer the money we won't get either of them.

I don't get why we would fly to Holland if a fee hadn't been agreed, or at least had some indication from Twente that they were willing to sell & it was just to do a bit more bargaining? That is if all of this is true like, could be a load of old bollocks I suppose, unless I see pics of Llambias in a coffee shop clinging to a bong.

Twitter: 10 mins ago, seems to be a Dutch Journo. Stefan Coerts ‏@StefanCoerts McClaren: "Luuk de Jong stays at Twente if it's up to me, unless a team offers 'stupid money' for him." #NUFC #Gladbach

Apparently McLaren reported as saying to Dutch media "Luuk de Jong stays at Twente if it's up to me, unless a team offers 'stupid money' for him."

I doubt we'll hear much more prior to early next week mate, especially if they've just flown over there today.

Either that, or they're trying to lean on them by offering the Twente board one of those giant Sports Direct mugs.

This isn't anything new, and to be fair he's undercutting every other club as well. I have chosen in the past to buy my shirts at the club shop for precisely this reason, I'd rather pay the extra tenner & know the money was going to the club, but I understand people wanting to save the money & buy from SD.

:frantic:

If they are on, I will be getting the scissors out the draw & cutting them off.

Still not counting any chickens, I suspect a deal might still be a way off.

On Sky Sports website now. If they want, 15m Euro, if we sell best for £3m I'd be inclined to give them it, he is after all only 21. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11678/7851120/Magpies-in-Twente-talks

I'm sorry like but I will not be buying ANYTHING with Sports Direct on it.

I'm probably biased, but I would think Newcastle United would be more of a draw than Bayern Monchengladbach (spelling?). I would love to see this guy here, but unfortunately it's looking less & less likely.

I quite like the spikes/folds, whatever you want to call them. I hope it's something like that, with the same collar.

So sad, 23 years old. :(

Are they ever going to release this f*@!ing shirt??

Blanc will probably get sacked and HBA will be in the next squad. Can't blame him, Blanc does have one of those faces you just want to slap. No manager seems capable of keeping control of the French national team dressing room. France will lose to Spain, and Blanc will be for the chop.

I think some people are over reacting a bit to the spikes/folds. They're not that prominent really. Think it will look smart on.

Must say, I quite like it. Nice to have a collar back on. Spikes look OK, something a little bit different I suppose.

What is it with these Welsh teams pissing around with their colours. Oh that's right, cos they are both tin pot clubs with bugger all history, so none of them care.

Haven't we got friendlies arranged for July etc? Maybe it won't be available for fans to buy prior to August but would imagine we will see pics/be able to pre order well before that.
