Nobody Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I'd love for us to sign N'Gog tbh. Not at that price mind, but I think he's criminally underrated by pretty much everyone (bar the Liverpool board apparently). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's by far the worst player ever to get a chance in the Premiership, he just runs around! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 The worst player is in our squad already. He used to be able to run, now he just shouts and gives the ball away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Nicolas Otamendi for €8m. Ben Arfa, Raul, Otamendi...gets more ridiculous by the hour. http://www.clarin.com/deportes/futbol/Newcastle-ingles-vino-carga-Otamendi_0_302369879.html "Newcastle, after a year in England's second tier, won promotion to the Premier League and are looking to Nicolas Otamendi to reinforce themselves. At Newcastle, he'll know the familiar faces of Jonas Gutierrez & Fabricio Coloccini. There's been an offer from England although Velez are yet to confirm this completely, only stating that "there are several European suitors" for the player, and that there's been "an offer from an English club". Would the offer of €8m finally signal the departure of Otamendi? Surely". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Christian Bassedas has revealed to the Sun why he choose to join Newcastle in the summer. The Argentinian told the currant bun that he is a massive AC/DC fan and Brian Johnston the lead singer of Bassedas' fave band comes from Dunston in the North East. Bassedas said: "I love rock music and AC/DC are my favourite group. "When I first heard about Newcastle's interest, I remember reading about Johnston, the lead singer with AC/DC being from the same area." But Bassedas is disappointed that his fellow players don't share his taste for rock music and prefer listening to dance music. "I am surprised that the dance music is more popular than rock music in the dressing room over here. It's not like that in Argentina. "When the Rolling Stones played five dates in Buenos Aires, my wife Maria and I went with friends to four of the five concerts." Despite being able to play football in the home town of his hero, Brian Johnston, all is not well in the Bassedas household. His biggest heartache was not being able to bring his dog to England when he left Argentina. "I had a wonderful German Shepherd in Buenos Aires and he was my best friend. "I considered bringing him over but six months in quarantine would be no use to an animal that size. I was very upset when I had to say goodbye." We all hope that despite Bassedas missing his dog, his love of AC/DC gets him through the lonely times and he doesn't have a 'Nervous Shakedown' as he continues to be as 'Hard as a Rock' in the Newcastle midfield.
