Guest Bubbles Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 according to his Wikipedia (the most reliable source ever!): "On the 5th of July 2008 it was confirmed that he will be signing for premiership side Newcastle United, for a fee around 6-7 million. Aimar is expected to complete a medical on Monday and set be unveiled as a Newcastle United player on the 8/7/08." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablo_Aimar who the feck makes up this crap?

Guest want_nufc_to_be_big_club Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Snubbed the Premiership for Benfica apparently!! http://www.4thegame.com/club/newcastle-united-fc/news/220242/aimar_snubs_english_clubs.html The coach of benfica is Sanches Flores who was the coach at Valencia so maybe thats why he wants to go there. Also Benfica is playing European football next season and we arent so one more reason... Pity... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I'm not too sorry about this one, because I've had my doubts. He might be a bit lightweight for the Premiership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 from the ever reliable mail Newcastle want to pip Portsmouth to the signing of Pablo Aimar after the south coast club balked at the £7million asking price. Pablo Aimar Taking Aim: Argentina's Pablo Aimar is a target for both Portsmouth and Newcastle. Despite their own cost-cutting, Newcastle believe they can strike a deal with the Argentina midfielder’s relegated team Real Zaragoza. The Spanish club are desperate for cash. Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan is a big attraction to Aimar, who is eager to play in the Barclays Premier League. Talks will be held over the next 24 hours.

KaKa Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 If this happens could it be an experienced replacement for Owen? or Martins? I can't really see Aimar playing any position in the premiership other then the one just behind the strikers, which Owen was playing at the end of last season. Therefore if Owen leaves then he slots right in. Or if Martins leaves then Owen moves up to striker and Aimar slots in behind. Be interesting to see how it all plays out.

chicago_shearer Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I think we'll be signing him. Fills a requirement, shifts the replica shirts. Might not be suited for the Premiership, but worth the risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 cheaper and older version of Modric. Par for the course with this board, its like turning the clock back 20 years Why "board", and not "manager". Or does that go against everything since Keegan can do no wrong in your eyes. Keegan held talks with Modric and fact of the matter is, he wasn't able to attract him here...even though the board stumped up the cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan held talks with Modric and fact of the matter is, he wasn't able to attract him here...even though the board stumped up the cash. We'll see. I am going by the comments made by the current owner/chairman and the 2 managers we have had since they took over. Its not too promising, whatever you want to believe. Aimar has been a top player, but now he is just a cheaper version of Modric. Modric didn't come. We'll see how much competition for him, and the level of it, if we seriously attempt to sign Aimar. Fact is a big club like us is acting like a small club. Thats how I see it. I saw this crap for over 20 years under the shower that ran the club down to its knees which ended with foot in the 3rd division in 1992. I think Keegan will do a good job with what he has, but ultimately unless they do something spectacularly correct to change my mind, they are going to let him - and us - down, nd fail to realise the potential that Keegan has.

KaKa Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 cheaper and older version of Modric. Par for the course with this board, its like turning the clock back 20 years I was actually surprised to discover he was only 28. I thought he was 31 or something. Modric would have been nice, although his Euro 2008 was a let down for me, but we didn't get him ultimately. Doesn't make Aimar for £6 million a bad move though.
