NUFC transfer rumours in the press

£15m wouldn't buy Tim's hairdo.

It's more to unsettle our players than them believing Krul will go

 

As for the other People crap, did you note obnoxious Alan Oliver was involved in that shit ?

Jesus wept....£15 mill ? Are they THAT stupid ? Well, Oliver is we know that.

Meanwhile, reports have again linked Chelsea to United keeper Tim Krul. United will consider selling if they get the right type of offer, but the Chronicle understands that Chelsea would have to smash the British transfer record for a keeper to get Krul - in excess of the reported £17m Manchester United paid Atletico Madrid for David de Gea.

Pardew runs rule over £10m Ajax ace Vertonghen

NEWCASTLE United boss Alan Pardew made the most of his free weekend by running the rule over Ajax skipper Jan Vertonghen.

 

The Chronicle understands that Pardew jetted out to the Dutch capital yesterday lunchtime to check on the £10m-rated Vertonghen in Ajax’s 3-1 win over De Graafschap.

 

Pardew was in the stands at the magnificent Amsterdam ArenA as the famous former European Cup winners strengthened their grip at the top of the Eredivisie by six points – with Ajax potential Euro opponents for Newcastle next season.

 

Also on show was Vertonghen’s fellow Belgium international Toby Alderweireld, who could also be an option for the Magpies with the player open to a move away from Ajax.

 

United are also keen on FC Twente’s Brazilian-born defender Douglas - who has told his boss Steve McClaren he wants a move to the Premier League.

 

And an interesting summer is shaping up with Ajax also keen on the Tukkers’ centre-back.

 

But the capture of Vertonghen would be a major coup for Newcastle.

 

 

The player recently indicated he would prefer a move to Arsenal, but that doesn’t rule out United.

 

He said: “I have instructed my agent carefully. He knows which clubs I want to join and Arsenal are one of them.”

 

However, Arsene Wenger has other irons in the fire in terms of defensive targets and there is no guarantee that the 6ft 3in Belgian will get his move to the Emirates Stadium.

 

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has also scouted the player.

 

Vertonghen is believed to also have interest in Newcastle, and if Pardew gets the chance to use his powers of persuasion, it could eventually see a formidable centre-back pairing alongside Fabricio Coloccini.

 

Papiss Cisse and Davide Santon both admitted that the Toon boss had succeeded in selling the club to them.

 

The sighting of Pardew on scouting missions is usually a key sign when it comes to transfers.

 

Chief scout Graham Carr has an impeccable record for talent spotting, but Pardew gets the final say on deals.

 

Meanwhile, reports have again linked Chelsea to United keeper Tim Krul.

Its just regurgitated bullshit and speculation man. The fact they bought Turnbull a while back and have Courtois tells it's own story man. Full of fucking shit these journos

Just don't understand why Chelsea need Krul when Courtois is supposed to be very decent.

 

He's a cracking keeper. Belgian International.  Plenty of games under his belt.  I doubt Krul has even been talked about at Chelsea to be honest. Lee Ryder is a cretin.

I've never watched the lad but according to quotes on his wikipedia page he's likely to spend a couple more years on loan.  Perhaps they want a keeper ready for next season.

Clubs are going to have to pay extortionate amounts for our best players.

 

Losing Krul would be terrible for our team, he's easily one of the best prospects in the league but it seems Chelsea and Spurs are trying to stir up some interest him him, presumably to unsettle him.

 

You can always tell when the Cockney media get involved. I expect Arry to do his usual "He's a player lots of teams are looking at" shite in the summer.

Would be a stunning signing, i think. Very unlikely mind.
