oldtype Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Article in our press Sources have claimed that 20-year old Junnam Dragons striker Ji Dong-Won is on his way to the Premier League. The Daily Mail, an English newspaper, reported on the 28th that "Having failed in their pursuit of Ligue 1 star Kevin Gameiro, Newcastle United are now taking a look at Korean international Ji Dong-Won. Head scout Graham Carr was in Korea last week to personally observe Ji and was pleased with what he saw." Newcastle United is currently suffering from a lack of options in attack, to the extent that midfielder Kevin Nolan (12 goals) is their leading scorer. They have also failed to replace star striker Andy Carroll after his move to Liverpool. Kwon Hyun-Gyu, head of player management at Chunnam Dragons said that "We have heard nothing of this Newcastle scout that was supposedly at the match. We're struggling in the league right now and will not sell the player in the middle of the season." Ji's agent also rubbished the rumors by claiming "there is no truth to it. We would have been informed if a club scout had come to Korea. We have nothing to do with it." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DairylandMag Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Hey all, Don't want to be a self-promoter, but a friend and I started a U.S.-based NUFC blog a few months back. I figured this post might be of interest in this thread: http://www.newcastleunited.us/2011/04/larssons-agent-no-contact-from-nufc.html Make of that what you will. Pardew said a little while back that the club was talking with a couple players that were out of contract in the summer. Obviously Larsson can't reach a pre-contract agreement with a Premiership club, but you'd still think teams would be making their interest known at this stage.

Guest Roger Kint Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Suffering so much a 12 goal midfielder is top scorer, unlike the 12 teams whose top scorer has less than him? Are their strikers not suffering to be below him like? On a serious note the sun today following on the Snodgrass theme with 'Pardew wants to inject more pace into his side next season. And he is convinced Snodgrass can excite Magpies fans the same way Chris Waddle and David Ginola did in the past.' Pace? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Today's Sun has Chelsea 'closing in' on Lukaku btw. £18m. Fair play if they sign him like. As for a while people have been saying that Chelsea need to bring in some younger players, due to the age of their team. Drogba would be the perfect role model for him as well. The cunts.

madras Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 chelsea getting lukaku could release either sturridge or anelka onto the market. even if anelka were gettable i'd be wary of a players commitment 'stepping down' from that level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defenders Paulo Ferreira, Jose Bosingwa and Yuri Zhirkov will also go, with the Stamford Bridge hierarchy preparing a radical overhaul of the squad over the next two years.
