TaylorJ_01 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 just looked him up on wikipedia,had a bad leg break 5 years ago and is a midfielder. If he's cheap then take him but we're overdone on the midfielder front imo. Aye, but their all shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 this board will implode if Skeljbred signs, it'll be like the 2nd coming of jesus! We thought that would happen when Ranger scored his first competitive goal, but alas... no. The site crashed when Ranger scored! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 A few people on twitter say we watched Skeljbred and Annan for Rosenborg last night and are now negotiating for Skeljbred. A few people? Random people who have nothing to do with sport whatsoever, or? As much as I'd cum if he signed for us, I really don't see us going after another midfielder now.

ponsaelius Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Reading a Marseille forum and they reckon Ben Arfa is a gonna. Well, it's in French and I've google-translated but they're talking about fees etc. Just wonder which club he'll end up at... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's in French and I've google-translated but they're talking about fees etc. Just wonder which club he'll end up at... Dharmesh Sheth said on SSN earlier that he'd been informed by Ben Arfa's agent (might have been through sources in France but he definitely mentioned his agent) he'd been offered to us, Everton and Liverpool along with an unnamed German club. I know Hughton kind of shrugged it off yesterday but he did also mention a few weeks ago about certain players 'becoming available'. Gosling was obviously one of those players he was referring to, doesn't stop Ben Arfa being another one of them though. We can only hope... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 We should sign Beye back, stick him on the bench and then play just 10 men with noone at RB, just to piss him off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Chris Hughton has now revealed none of these five players are heading to St James Park...although Raul would be welcomed if he took a huge pay cut! “It's natural that we get linked with players but none of those are accurate,” Hughton told The Journal. "Raul would have to take a huge pay cut to come here - I don't think he's going to do that! "The Benjani rumour is just wrong - he hasn't been training with us and there is nothing in the Gary Hooper rumour either. I read about Ben Arfa, but there has been absolutely no contact there. "I think people have picked up on my relationship with Sol and him being available. He is a good player but at the moment there's nothing to say on it. There hasn't been any progress."

Guest Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I imagine that quote about Ben Arfa was in Wednesday afternoon's usual Press Conference thing, the story about us having spoke to Marseille came Thursday morning, so quite feasible for us to have spoke to them between that interview, and the story in La Provence.

Thespence Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Newcastle have also reportedly made an offer for Velez Sarsfield full-back Nicolas Otamendi, the 22-year-old Argentine, who can play at centre-back or right-back. The Magpies will hope he has improved since he struggled against Germany in the World Cup quarter-final defeat in Cape Town. He was eventually substituted by Diego Maradona in the 70th minute. Velez Sarsfield hope to get £8.5m for the player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
