Been offered Deco and enquired about Eto'o...according to The Journal.


Recommended Posts

We've so far been linked with Edmilson, Gudjohnsen, Giuly, Deco and Eto'o. Seems to me the press got wind of the fact we had representatives in Barcelona, and have been guessing all along. But it also seems that they may have finally figured out Deco is the main target. According to the Austrian lads, Allardyce disappeared from the training camp all day yesterday, and suddenly major rumours are popping up.I don't think that's a coincidence.

 

The Deco story is on Sport, one of the main Catalan sports papers. They're mostly just quoting the English press, but they're not laughing the rumour off by any means.

I like the way Allardyce does his deals,  mind.

 

Robson got most of his deals from Ipswich, Souness from Rangers and now Allardyce from Barca. Nice.

Deco would be awesome. Double figures undoubtedly, but it would be foolish to go over £12/13m in my opinion, baring in mind that he's 30 years old this season. In regards to Eto'o though - surely not a chance? Can't be right - Samuel Eto'o? He'd never come here. We don't need another striker anyway.

£23m? They can f*** right off!

It was f****** Wikipedia who said £23m. Probably bullshit, but while we are linked to him or eventually buy him, I am sure some people will complain and whine about spending£23m on him, because they read it once on Wikipedia. Even if we get him for 10. :lol:

 

I'm going by what I read in this thread, not wiki.

They don't want him and he's got  3 years on his contract.  Unless another club comes in I don't see any need to be rushing it and going into seven figure sums.

 

I'd offer a swap For Luque, and leave it on the table until someone else shows interest. :razz:

 

His wages on the other hand, I'd go as high as the player wants because we need to attract him.

"Monday bringing claims from credible sources that the player is expected on Tyneside for a medical this week."

 

.com on Deco.

 

I know they've got their faults but they don't usually report a transfer unless they really think its gonna happen? Edit: and their pretty much always right?

Swap Barton for Butt, Milner for Barton and N'Zogbia for Milner.

.com are rarely left with egg on their face. They've been more cautious the last couple of years and have only quoted their sources when they've been confident a deal will go through.

 

As for formations, signing Deco would point to a 4-3-3 more than ever. He played in that formation for Porto, Barcelona, and Portugal.

Is that Big Sam's way of eliminating our defensive problems? Not having any defenders.

More like 14-1 with their lack of signings and  championship squad.
