BONTEMPI Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Newcastle United are racing against time to sign Miguel Veloso from Sporting Lisbon for a fee close to £11 million, according to The Sun. Joe Kinnear has already stated that the club hopes to bring in at least two new faces to St. James' Park, and he was quick to state that Veloso was in fact a target. Speaking to reporters after the game against Sunderland, Kinnear said: 'He is [definitely] a realistic target.' The Magpies will hope to tie-up the deal as early as possible, and if both clubs agree a fee, Sporting's midfield ace could be headed for the Toon in the next few hours. The Sun also estimates that a central defender is on the way for the Magpies, although, no names were mentioned. The news comes after Kinnear publicly conceded defeat at the hands of Liverpool in his attempts to capture highly-rated veteran centre-back Sami Hyypia. If this happens I refuse to believe it, or even get my hopes up about it. Daniel Fox sounds more like it. If this happens and we get Ryan Taylor, Daniel Fox or Whatever and another centre half along with Velosso then i'll be very happy. However if we end up with just Ryan Taylor i'll be fucking livid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if we end up with just Ryan Taylor i'll be f***ing livid If we got all four, then maybe, just maybe, big fat mike will not be public enemy number 1. I seriously doubt the creadability of veloso coming here. I refuse to believe it. Coventry fans seem pretty sure we are in for their keeper Westwood. I hope not.

S.S.R. Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Sol Campbell or Distin anybody for the centre half position? There's been rumours of Sol leaving, him having a lass up here, and Kinnear asked about Hyppia, so his age wouldn't be a concern. Why are we after a centre half? It's one position where we're relatively well off. Is Joe thinking of putting Colo at defensive mid again? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooneyToonArmy Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Yesterday on the Century pre-match build up they were talking about a deal for Distin.

Dave Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 IF we got Fox, Distin and Bent i reckon most people would be happy. We'd have a LB we need as cover, but a CB we don't need and a striker we can't afford. Also, we'd STILL fail to address the single most lacking area. So I don't think everyone would be happy.

mrmojorisin75 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 IF we got Fox, Distin and Bent i reckon most people would be happy. they shouldn't be, not at all, because we'd still have to play nicky butt and kevin nolan in CM trying to supply one end and help stop attacks at the other end when both are slow as fuck change to fox, nolan, distin, bent & veloso then you might be talking but we all know the likelihood of that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bealios Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Daniel Fox and Ryan Taylor coming in. Can't see us going for another striker to be honest with Martins and Smith coming back. Would be reasonably happy with the window as a whole if that happenss. I imagine we may also have someone lined up, conditional on if Zog goes. Veloso maybe, but can't see us signing him unless Zog goes. Distin would be an immense signing, although since Bassong should be untouchable, can't see JFK dropping Colo - although if its true that he can play at DM (never seen him myself - I suspect a lot of this comes from Football Manager!) then might make sense.
