Reo Coker is your missing central midfielder

 

Was he in on one of the BBC's gossip coloum since the last game of the season? If so I must have missed him

 

No, he hasn't. Barton is your missing man as I mentioned earlier...

Over the last week as Big Sam has swapped his mobile for a desk phone and as N.O. can reveal a longish conversation with Mr Ashley, the strained links of the two dozen or so players said to be targets is beginning to solidify.The white melting heat of the shock takeover and the raised hopes of the toon faithful is about to start seeing some product with regard to signatures which I hear will be coming thick and fast.

 

Perhaps even before Ben Haim, the Wigan left back Leighton Baines and a favourite of this writer will be signing for around £4-5m with added extras, it transpires that he was top of our aquisiton list all along and not the likes of Distin who after exploratory talks was rejected for his outlandish demands. I met a man in a dark alley and after the exchange of the Queens currency the secret words Curtis Davies were dropped like a whisper on my ear like a CIA secret at which point I asked for my money back. The £8m deal has been on the cards even before half the PL stepped in with offers of £15m (Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs) the main contenders, now that Portsmouth and West Ham are finding solutions or looking elsewhere. I don’t think at this time Curtis Davies is going to happen unless we double our offer.

 

Lareya Kingston a long time favourite of Mr Allardyce who has one of his special files on the player is a work in progress and this has even been brought to my attention by local Scottish papers, the dynamic, hard tackling and creative midfielder is a must have as far as Sam is concerned, but utimately deals struck with Russian clubs are an enigma wrapped in a puzzle. Talking of such things the silence from Nicolas is deafening, if you are reading this over your plat du jour Nico, go with your instincts and join the Toon revolution.

 

Although it is clear Parker is leaving for London, it is not so clear that Nigella is coming the other way, having has his head turned at the last minute by Everton and Seville. Everton? Yes, I know the giggle factor is high.

The other rumour I refuse at this point to take on-board is that there is renewed interest (€8m) from Bayern Munchen for Emre, there is nothing in the German press who take pleasure in analysing very closely all things Bavarian.

 

Saving the best thing for last and to catch the top and bottom readers of articles (like myself) I am confirming that one of Big Sams most trusted associates is hot on the trail regarding the availabiity of Jimmy Briand. Yes one of the most delicate and emerging flowers of French footie.

 

Keep singing in the rain.

Parkenstien.

Parky is this info legit? Or are these just your thoughts?

 

Kingston would be a really good pickup. He will surprise the whole league if we get him. Has all of your typical African attributes but also has brilliant vision, creativity and a wicked range of passing. He is right up there with his fellow countrymen Appiah and Essien.

I don't like to write off someone I know nothing about but up there with Appiah and Essien? What the hell is he doing in Scotland (and not even with one of the big 2) if he is THAT good? He is about 28 isn't he?

All legit mate, that's why there is no bollocks about Beckam and the like. :rolleyes:

 

Out of all of that Baines is definite. :thup:

 

He tried to sign at Bolton and is one of the players he has continued to track.*

Unfortunately for him he ended up in Russia early on in his career and it is a very difficult place to get out of. Look, he isn't as good as them, because he obviously lacks the experience of playing for the kinds of clubs they have played for, but skills wise he is right up there. There are so many talented African players out there who arein some of the most unlikely places. Yakubu for instance started out in Israel, and when he first came to Pompey no one knoew of him.

Wow ...

 

Sounds good. How do you think he will use Kingston as he can play as an attacking midfielder or a playmaking defensive one. Do you think he will pair him up with the likes of Nolan or Reo-Coker? In which case I guess he would be more defensive. We really need to make sure we get the midfield partnership right.
