Lee Ryder let himself down with this one. Total bollocks imo. They might like him as a player but a) they can't afford him, & b) the player has instructed his agents he doesn't want a move.

Reckon we might see something this week.

I had a browse on a Cov City forum to see what they think of him, they do all seem gutted he's leaving. Seems a prospect, we'll probs sign him & loan him back to them lol.

Pete O'Rourke ‏@SkySportsPeteO Sky Sports understands Coventry ace Gael Bigirimana is undergoing a medical at Newcastle. #NUFC #CCFC

Toivenen is a name mentioned, there's plenty players around I'm sure. We apparently have a list of 6/7 players for each position already scouted.

Anyone know anymore about this from the Telegraph: "Managing Director Derek Llambias travelled to South America last week where he is understood to have been trying to set up a deal for two young players from Argentina to join compatriots Fabricio Coloccini and Jonas Gutierrez on Tyneside."

The term 'jumping the gun' springs to mind.

Paul Scholes signed for Espanyol??

Aye and he's got his shorts pulled up to his naval.

Lets hope its not like this one: http://www.footballshirtculture.com/12/13-kits/sheffield-wednesday-2012-2013-puma-home-football-shirt.html

I actually hope it's this now and that they haven't changed it lol. Shame that we won't have our own unique design though as it's clearly a cut & paste job for teams with stripes. So long as we don't get those horrendous baggy sleeves like Shef Wed.

Oh dear, what a clanger

If it was Man City, you'd definately milk it. Not many clubs have the money they have though.

It will be interesting to see what would happen though in January/next summer if they have an unhappy player, they may not get as much next time round as is being offered now. We shall see I suppose.

Yeah I agree we would, just we won't pay over the odds.

Lets be honest, we've all said it before, if a player no longer wanted to wear the black & white shirt anymore then they could go.

He should slap in a transfer request. I don't think it's like we're trying to rob them, if we've offered £11m all paid at oncee that is a VERY fair deal. Hardly anyone offers cash up front these days, or so I am told. Twente just clearly don't want to sell.

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."
