TK-421

SSN: Naismith deal is off... couldn't agree personal terms. They have a medical booked for 9pm for an unnamed player, possibly Jason Denayer from Man City (never heard of him?!)

Aye, and they'll get nowhere near £30m for him (if that is the fee).

Aye, 'the king' snubbed for Bournemouth. Thats gotta hurt his ego.

SSN still saying "Atsu set to become a Newcastle player". Think it was already said, but looks like this is our 10.30pm announcement if no one else is signed.

Installments are fine. We're probably using a W*nga contract template, so the interest is probably another £5m!!!

Is that being reported? nah, sorry, what i'd be fine with. b******. You cant put cum back in the gun you know. Just read that at work... nearly laughed out loud.

What's so funny about that? His record and value according to this site... http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/didier-ibrahim-ndong/profil/spieler/210081 Total of 4 goals, and 6 assists, in 102 appearances across 6 seasons. Unless they've signed a different Didier N'Dong? At least it wasn't the £17m reported ealrier! He's a defensive midfielder. Oh right... in that case, its a great deal... well done Sunderland! Hehe

£13.6m for NDong confirmed on BBC

Loads of time yet. The carroll fee wasn't agreed til about 5.30pm, then he was choppered (via AshleyAir) down to Liverpool for Medical etc. By all accounts, Moussa might be in London already if a bid is agreed with one of those clubs.

Maybe giggs, but just got this sent at work..

No updates on whether there was anything in the Olympiakos link?

Thats it, like... the amount of money most of those clubs will have now, and you have the likes of Spurs trying to get players on the cheap. Surprised Arsene aint shown his hand.... yet. Probably his agent, leaking rumours behind his (sissokos) back to keep his spirits up.

Absolutely... another £10m on the price for him!! haha

Stoke's training ground? Wait till tonight... http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/02/01/article-2271913-174A0A5D000005DC-334_634x354.jpg Or have they stopped all the fan gatherings after the 'Everton Incident'?

Signing Ruddy and Naismith? Must be something to do with that 'Fwends' thing they have going with Norwich City. Hehe

According to that TransferMarkt link, he's scored a total of 4 goals, and provided 6 assists, in 102 appearances across 6 seasons. £17m...... Please let it happen.

http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/didier-ibrahim-ndong/profil/spieler/210081 'Current market value: £4.25m'

hehe... bye Spurs, thanks for looking.

Absolutely no way should we budge on the valuation and/or terms for Spurs of all clubs. If he ends up staying, it has to be in his own interest (and ours of course) to knuckle down and put himself back in the shop window. As it is, he's sat sulking since the Euros, hence his options are now pretty limited today.

'message from nufc'... this is playing out like the Carroll deal. Ashley probably hoping that now its public, other clubs will step in and the auction will kick off! Worked last time! Hehe

I'm sure Rafa has a mobile phone, wherever he is. And a list of agreed targets will still exist, so Charnley can move if necessary as Rafa has already said he deals with the contracts, etc anyway. If Sissoko stays, I think were done... but if Sissoko gets his wish and its sorted quickly, then I could see us try for 1 or 2 more before 11pm!

That's a strange one, the first few games of last season, I thought they had a really good player there, the only one in their side that looked to have any class. But he just disappeared, second successive manager that hasn't had any faith in him. Egg nog obviously likes him... and he must like Dick.

Oh dear... another happy departure... Lens said: "Sunderland would just love to get rid of me. I did not play, was not even on the bench. I just had a problem with the club. What? No idea." http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11695/10557607/sunderlands-jeremain-lens-claims-to-be-heading-to-fenerbahce-on-loan

Spurs starting their interest at £20m? This is all going very 'Andy Carroll' again... didn't they start bidding just before the deadline at about £20m then, too? Then bottled it about £25m?
