Elliottman Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Sir Alex Ferguson is quietly confident of adding a new face to his dressing room before the close of the transfer window but when you already have Europe's best squad at your disposal, there is less need to worry than most. While Ferguson remains a model of calm and optimism ahead of the new campaign there is a nervous energy in the Toon air amid talk of takeovers and a dwindling interest shown by owner Mike Ashley. Keegan has made no secret of his desire for more new signings but on Sunday he'll have to appease himself by handing out debuts to Fabricio Coloccini and the exciting winger Jonas Gutierrez. http://msnsport.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_3981952,00.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 What's so annoying about all this newspaper shite is that all the moron pundits on BBC, SKY, Setanta, etc will talk about it like it is 100% fact when they mention Newcastle e.g. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7538833.stm I feel very sorry for Kevin Keegan at Newcastle. I'd like to know who is bringing the players in and what is going on behind the scenes. Reading this you'd think Coloccini was a journeyman player: - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/7546685.stm He failed to make an impact at the San Siro outfit and was loaned to Argentine side San Lorenzo and Spanish clubs Alaves, Atletico Madrid and Villarreal before moving to Deportivo during the 2005 January transfer window. Coloccini helped Deportivo to ninth place in La Liga last season but was keen to make the move to Tyneside. He was part of the Argentina squad for the 2006 World Cup and started the quarter-final as his country lost to hosts Germany on penalties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Keegan's bluffs: what it didn't say on Kevin's Newcastle tin Six instances in which Kevin Keegan has found it not quite like it said in the brochure. 1 Spending and Pulling Power: Shortly after Keegan's return in January, Terry McDermott, his sidekick, gave an interview predicting a "major re-launch" and squad overhaul this summer. Meanwhile boardroom sources said that the only limit on Keegan's transfer ambitions would be imposed by "his own imagination." These days though money seems too tight to mention and he may have to sell James Milner and Alan Smith before buying again. Moreover Keegan's 'pulling power' is diminished by the fact that Newcastle no longer offer 'Hollywood wages' and, more than one potential deal this summer has collapsed over 'failure to agree personal terms.' 2 The Owner: Back in January Keegan claimed that Ashley was probably "the best owner" in the Premier League but come the end of the season he was complaining they "never spoke" and breaking into the top four would be an impossibility. Cue a summons to London for a ticking off by the billionaire owner of Sports Direct. 3 Dennis Wise: When Keegan took the job he knew Ashley wanted to introduce a new continental style management structure with devolved responsibility for scouting, transfers and the academy but he didn't know that the man in charge of it would be Wise. By all accounts it is not a marriage made in heaven and there is a distinct lack of frank communication. Tellingly Keegan has been heard to lament: "Don't ask me, I'm just the coach." 4 Backroom Staff: One of Keegan's first appointments as Newcastle's manager was to give Arthur Cox a key role in his bootroom. Earlier this month Cox left the club apparently disillusioned by the way it was being run from above. Similarly Keegan is a coach light after Steve Round was poached by Everton to become David Moyes's assistant. The word is that the highly rated Round will not be replaced. 5 Transfer market philosophy: Wheras Keegan wanted to sign established, experienced Premier League players on the fringe of the England side Wise and his associate 'deals' man Tony Jiminez, have targeted young, principally foreign players often from South America. Disagreements about who to buy perhaps partly explain the lack of signings. 6 Michael Owen's contract: Since the spring Keegan has been urging his board to sign Owen up on a new, extended contract. Although preliminary talks have begun they appear to be stuttering and a fresh agreement still looks a long way from being struck. Meanwhile Owen, who will be entitled to leave on a free transfer when his current deal expires next June, will be able to speak to potential new employers in January. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2008/aug/16/premierleague.newcastleunited Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utter utter nonsense. Still think we very much under achieved last season in terms of results, performances and league finish. Improved the squad (blah blah so has everyone else blah) and believe a top 10 finish is within our grasp. 3 more quality players and a European spot is not out of the equation either. Relegation, considering other teams in the league, is out of the question. What an idiot that guy must be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
