Skirge Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~969878,00.html Glenn Hopeful on Defender Decision GLENN Roeder says he remains hopeful of being able to bring in an international defender on loan at Newcastle United - but admits the next 48 hours could be crucial. The Toon boss isn't prepared to reveal the identity of his target just yet, but wants supporters to know he is still working hard on adding to his squad. He said: "We are talking to the player's club and we are hoping they will release him to come across here and we will find out in the next 48 hours. "We know all about him and his playing record, but we still want a look at him with the view to a loan deal until the end of the season." United, of course, have no game this weekend having been knocked out of the FA Cup. But Roeder is still out on the training pitch with his players and already preparing for the visit of Aston Villa to St. James' Park next week in the Premiership.

Skirge Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Glenn's move for defender Jan 24 2007 By Alan Oliver, The Evening Chronicle Glenn Roeder is trying to bring a top international defender to Newcastle United in the next couple of days. The United boss is in negotiations with the central defender's club to get him to Tyneside by the weekend with the view to a loan deal. But Roeder admitted today there was still some work to be done on getting the player to St James' Park. He told me today: "We are talking to the player's club and we are hoping they will release him to come here, and we will find out in the next 48 hours. "We know all about him and his playing record but we still want a look at him with the view to a loan deal until the end of the season." Roeder and Freddy Shepherd will know that the United fans are bound to be dismayed at a lack of transfer activity, especially when they see the likes of Aston Villa and West Ham splashing out. But this does not mean that the United hierarchy are not trying to wheel and deal and I still expect a couple of new faces with probably one player going out before the transfer window slams shut again a week tonight. In a way, Roeder (pictured) has made a rod for his own back with the way he has managed to keep United more than ticking over despite what is accepted as the worst injury crisis in the club's history. But in my view a permanent signing would give everyone connected with United a big lift and this could still happen. Last season United did not sign anyone in January and Roeder still managed to take the club into Europe. And two seasons ago, Graeme Souness's signings in the transfer window were Celestine Babayaro, Jean Alain Boumsong and Amady Faye. The last two have gone, with Roeder and Shepherd somehow managing to claw back some money from Juventus and Charlton respectively. And while Babayaro is still here, the Nigerian international left-back owes it to Roeder and the supporters to get back into a black-and-white shirt as soon as possible after his long lay-off, first with a hamstring injury and then with the flu bug.

Guest andynufc84 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 In the piece where it mentions 'international defender' gives me the impression that its someone from abroad, who is not playing in the premiership Could it be a full back?? What gives me hope is that this statement would not have been released on .cock if there was no substance to it - it must have some truth about it. i'm sick of this f*cking gareth bale, curtis davis nonsense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest johnson293 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 if he's a 'top international defender' why is the club letting him go on loan? can't be that great then Hmmm, also, why do we need to look at him first before deciding on a loan??? "We know all about him and his playing record but we still want a look at him with the view to a loan deal until the end of the season." Jebus! How long did it take to offer Sibierski a premanent deal, or to ask Fergie for Rossi?? Had we been scouting them all summer??? MJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
