JOE Kinnear is hoping to tie up a transfer deadline day deal for left-back Daniel Fox.

Newcastle United were today understood to be in talks with the 22-year-old's club, Coventry City.

 

The former England Under-21 international, who started his career at Everton, joined Coventry a year ago from Walsall, and is rated in the £1m-bracket.

 

Fox played under Newcastle's Academy director Richard Money during his three years at the Bescott Stadium.

 

Kinnear was also hoping to rubber-stamp right-back Ryan Taylor's move from Wigan Athletic, with the deal hinging on Charles N'Zogbia's move the other way.

 

Meanwhile, Manchester City midfielder Michael Johnson was again linked with a switch to United.

 

Why on EARTH would we ever wait so long to try to do these sort of deals (whether they are half-decent players or not is another matter).  What is wrong with January 1st or January 2nd? (rather than February 1st or February 2nd)???

Yep, they may as well ditch the window if they keep changing the dead line.

I hope I'm wrong, but this just feels like all the previous shit transfer window deadline days, certainly with people (including myself) clinging on to the hope of some decent players be bought. However this time I'm mentally prepared for us getting fuck all, so that anything would be a bonus.

The same reason it happens for everyone. It's the way the market works.

Just like eBay - no-one bids (makes a move) till the last minute, hoping to be the only ones bidding for the item/player!

Got a text live on air confirming Michael Johnson isn't going anywhere.  Wouldn't say who it was from.

 

Blatantly wasn't. He looked embarrassed, like it was off his wife or something. Even the guys in the studio laughed.
