*Deal expected thursday.

 

*Speaking to his family about moving from north west to north east.

 

*Very impressed with both Allardyce and SJP.

 

 

 

It makes you wonder why he couldn't speak to his family before coming up here unless he's going to visit his brother in prison.  :D

 

Still waiting for phone lines to be installed doon there then?

Doubt it. Viduka has agreed to join but not back from Oz for another week at the earliest.

A medical is a clear indication of willingness to do buisness from both player and club IMO. We are just having the usual jitters before we sign anyone. Its as good as done IMO.

Does anyone think the contract on offer might have some clauses in it regarding his behavior? As in for example should a repeat of the Dabo incident take place the player is sacked immediately etc..?

 

What could the advantages and disadvantages of such clause be from the club's point of view?

What was the jist of what David Craig just said?

 

He was 20 minutes outside of Newcastle, told Willie to turn around and that he wanted to sign now.

*Done a u-turn on the motorway to come back and sign the deal reported to be somewhere in the region of £70,000 per week.

Probably not a great deal more than what Parker was on, and he's a better player so not too fussed about the wages. Surprised they are that high though.
