Teasy Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Didnt .com jump all over the Figo rumours aswell? They reported the rumour, but did they ever claim it was happening based on there own sources? It probably won't happen, but I'd be suprised if the deal wasn't being discussed between NUFC/Barca and Deco at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably won't happen, but I'd be suprised if the deal wasn't being discussed between NUFC/Barca and Deco at the moment. Is all I could find searching.. Here we go with Figo? Real Madrid midfielder Luis Figo could be a surprise arrival as negotiations with the Portuguese star suggest some cause for optimism. The man who cost Real £37m when he was signed from Barcelona five years ago may come to Tyneside on a similar contract to the one that saw former Barca colleague Patrick Kluivert arrive last summer. Figo is apparently keen on the deal and a year contract with two exercisable one year options may suit both parties. Amid the stuff and nonsense overflowing this weekend, apparently this story has some substance. http://www.soccer24-7.com/forum/showthread.php?t=79532 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmelads Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Let's face it, why would Shepherd and Allardyce fly over to Barcelona if we were just trying to sign Edmilson or Gudjohnsen? Neither are big enough for that IMO. There was talk of Giuly coming from his agent, but I'm not quite sure I believe that, seeing as we haven't targetted any other wingers and have loads already. I believe we probably are in for Deco, whether we'll get him or not is another matter. Also, just because nufc.com weren't perfectly right about Figo, they never said he would sign, just that the story had substance. Truth is we probably were in for Figo, but once Inter declared their interest we had no chance. It doesn't mean .com haven't got it right loads of other times, like when the Emre deal looked in doubt and they reassured everyone it'd definitely go through, which it did. They're more cautious nowadays, as they know their power to start false rumours and know they could end up with egg on their faces. They've already laughed at Oliver over Edmilson and had to back-track, I don't think they want to discredit themselves again. They've obviously heard something. Common sense tells me Deco is staying put, but I believe that the club are trying and with the money at their disposal, we might pull something off.

Guest ryunufc Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 why is deco a surplus requirement when he played nearly as many games as ronaldinho? They want Lampard apparently so it depends on lampard going to barca, but chelsea recently denied they are not selling him. why would barca offer us deco because they want to replace him with a player who is not for sale? i think for this time im going with the deco rumours are crap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allardyce and Shepherd spent to long in Barcelona discussing a move for an injured centre half imo. Which makes me wonder if it was another player, and as it turns out.. it was Deco.

In a move that will stun the rest of their rivals in the Premiership - not to mention the Champions' League - United have put together a package in a bid to lure the 30-year-old legend to St James's Park. Indeed Newcastle United's unofficial website NUFC.com are claiming today that the club have already agreed terms with Rivaldo's agent and that the deal will go ahead if Barcelona give the green light.

Tisd09 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 A week or so ago I would have been shocked to see Deco at the Toon and would have thought the idea as being daft. NOW this seems very plausible and I wouldn't be that surprised. I am quietly confident that we will see Deco in our colours next season. I think he wil make a difference to the way we play and hopefully dispel the ideas that Allardyce is going to have Given and Taylor lump the ball to Viduka any chance they get.

Teasy Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I'd like to actually see NUFC.com's words, rather then ICNewcastle.. Also how do we know Rivaldo didn't agree in principle to the move before Milan came in and highjacked the move? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
