The Newcastle United Transfer Thread: D-Day [Spoiler: Not Much Happens]


Recommended Posts

Why sell Milner for 12 million and then in the new year try and spunk 6-8 on Richardson  :lol: :lol:

 

Because we have a s*** talentless manager in charge thats been out of the game too long.

 

I wasn't really asking the question, I already new the answer.

Transfer window review from F365:

 

NEWCASTLE UNITED

 

Major signings: Peter Lovenkrands (free from Schalke), Kevin Nolan (£4m from Bolton), Ryan Taylor (swap deal from Wigan).

 

Major sales: Shay Given (undiscl. to Manchester City), Charles N'Zogbia (swap deal to Wigan).

 

 

Rather than sending silly e-mails to Sky Sports News, perhaps Mike Ashley should have been wondering how he could justify a club deep in relegation trouble making a profit in the transfer window. They clearly tried to buy - Darren Bent and Michael Johnson among their targets - but you wonder why they were trying so hard on February 2 rather than January 2. They still have a massive striker shortage and a manager that makes a relegation battle inevitable.

The 8 Million bid was for Xabi Alonso . My mate was talking to Lambias on Saturday night in Casino.  No BS.

Casino staff (past or present) aren't allowed into other casinos or casinos from their own companies for recreational purposes. Some companies allow this allow but London Clubs do not - the company that the 50 casino comes under.

 

:aww:

"But in welcoming back Oba, Viduka and Smithy we have three fresh faces to pick from.

 

I am glad Joe didn't try to say "Obafemi" otherwise we'd have another disgruntled, unsettled player on our hands.

not sure if this was mentioned before, but we tried to gert faubert. (good player on the right of midfield)

 

"I got a phone call from a Real Madrid recruiter. I wasn't very polite to him. I thought I was being made fun of, that it was a joke(:lol:)," he explained, "I had just found out that contacts with Lyon and Newcastle had fallen through. I wasn't feeling good."

There was an extended version of the interview in the Shields Gazzette and he managed to come up with a quite unexpected comment!

 

 

With Kinnear having signed just three players – Kevin Nolan, Ryan Taylor and Peter Lovenkrands – in the transfer window, which closed yesterday, the trio's return is timely for the 62-year-old.

 

"It gives us a bit more firepower for West Brom," said Kinnear. "I know it's an old cliche, but it'll be like having three new players back."

I guess in terms of quality yes.

 

But we have 8 first team strikers (with only one not in full training)

 

Martins, Ameobi, Smith, Xisco, Viduka, Lovenkrands, Carrol, Owen and the Ranger!

 

Central Midfield and Defence is more of a worry tbh.

Usually calls him 'Obi' doesn't he?

I think what annoyed me more than anything else was all the talk from Joe for months now how he'd got players lined up, loan deals for arsenal players, players in Italy, players in Spain, Championship stars and the rest of it. Then on the last day they were scrabbling round making daft bids for Sunderland players which were never going to come off.  :idiot2:

I don't know why, but many British announcers seem to think his name is "Obi Martins". I really can't understamd how or why. Are they confusing him with the Obi at Chelsea?

i think newcastle transfer rumour should be banned from this forum. because hoping of new player to strengtened squad is really a abomination at the end of the day.

Just watching the sports news in Norway, was a part about the new manager of Norway and so on, and there was an interview with an English scout that was watching Norwegian Prem Sides at their pre-season tourney at La Manga in Span, and he was wearing a Newcastle track suit.

 

Was interesting to see we had a scout present there is all. Old-ish with grey hair.

As long as we're talking about random Newcastle staff sightings...

 

I live in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. About two years ago in the spring, I was walking past a nice hotel in a neighborhood when some middle-aged man wearing a Newcastle tracksuit popped out of the lobby.

 

Thought it could be some random bloke who had bought a tracksuit, but his top was initialed (like the stuff the coaching staff wears on matchday) so I suppose he might have been someone connected to the club.

 

No idea what he'd be doing there. This place isn't really much of a vacation spot.
