Hard to please eh?

 

Bent, Kone.

 

Not really, I rarely read the football board so the summary/update threads are good. I know I'm not alone in finding it difficult to trudge through 20 threads of bullshit to find one sensible piece of information.

 

Others in here, it seems, can't help themselves and read/post in every single thread. There hard work could be used to great effect for us lazy and almost apathetic bastards.

Anything genuine (or strongly rumoured) goes in the thread titles, as it always has. As of now, there's only this Kone thing that's really worthy of mention.

/cue Dos Equis music

 

/voice over as Kinnear lounges on holiday

 

When he says "cunt" women smile fondly at him...

 

Sir Alex has him on speed dial...

 

His press conferences are enlightening experiences...

 

His working holidays are more productive than any DOF's regular work week...

 

...and way more fun...

 

He is...

the most interesting man in the world.

I'd read somewhere that Kinnear would just be involved in identifying targets and advising Ashley. The negotiations with the clubs would be handled by Ashley himself. Which would mean that plenty could go on in Kinnear's absence.

Could do, think we all know otherwise though

Panic buys are by definition over priced and ill researched. We didn't make a single signing that wasn't great value or well planned. We just moved forward our plans.

The truth behind Newcastle’s interest in Remy, Kone and Ba

 

by MILES STARFORTH

LOIC Remy has been offered to Newcastle United – six months after he snubbed a move to the club.

 

The striker will leave relegated Queens Park Rangers this summer.

 

Remy – who has a £7m release clause in his Loftus Road contract – is being touted around Europe.

 

But Newcastle are unlikely to revive their interest in the 26-year-old – despite the pressing need to sign a forward in this summer’s transfer window.

 

Remy angered club’s officials with an 11th-hour change of heart in the last transfer window.

 

He had been expected to sign for the club from Olympique Marseille after discussions in France, but instead opted to move to QPR, who offered him a more lucrative contract than the Magpies.

 

There had been hopes that Newcastle would make early progress in its search for a striker.

 

However, there is growing unease on Tyneside at the lack of progress in the transfer market, which contrasts sharply with the early business done at rivals Sunderland and elsewhere.

 

The club this week lost out on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who yesterday joined Borussia Dortmund.

 

And the club’s interest in Wigan Athletic striker Arouna Kone appears to have cooled as quickly as it hotted up.

 

The Latic’s owner, Dave Whelan, yesterday claimed the Tynesiders had activated the the 29-year-old’s £5m release clause, and United had been given permission to talk to Kone.

 

However, Kone seems certain to join Roberto Martinez, his former manager, at Everton.

 

And a return to St James’s Park for Demba Ba – who left Newcastle for Chelsea – also seems unlikely.

 

Ba has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge in the wake of Jose Mourinho’s appointment as manager.

 

However, the 28-year-old is understood to be keen to stay and fight for his place at the club, though Anzhi Makhachkala are reportedly ready to make him a lucrative offer in a bid to persuade him to move to Russia.

 

United supporters - many still angry at the appointment of Joe Kinnear as director of football - are becoming increasingly frustrated as they wait for the club’s first senior summer signing.

 

Also, manager Alan Pardew, due back on Tyneside over the weekend, hasn’t given an interview all summer.

 

And the only senior voice from the club that fans have heard in recent weeks has been that of Kinnear, who himself is due to go on a holiday booked before his appointment.
