If we picked up Beye, Deco, and Heinze, we would absolutely be locked for a spot in the top 4.  No doubt about it.  I'm pretty excited right now at the thought of picking these guys up.

Savour the thought whilst you can, for tmrw and the coming weeks will bring the dream crashing down.

 

That was a pleasure to read  -  "Mr Happy"!

 

For what it's worth, I don't agree with you.

 

I hope you enjoy the next few weeks as much as I think I am about to though!!

Im pretty hyped about it to be honest!

 

Happy to be proved wrong, but I dont see Deco or Heinze coming. If I stay negative and they do come, it will make it just that little bit extra special.

 

I know, I think many of us are quite hyped up by what is (appears to be) going on this summer!  But think about it - why are we hyped up?  It is because we think that, for the first time in years a lot of genuinly GOOD stuff, exciting stuff - IS gonna happen.

 

It's great isn't it?  (even if it doesn't ALL come off . . .  )

 

With the new structure at the club (Ashley / Allardyce) ANYTHING is possible!!

If we sign Beye, Deco and Heinze it will probably put us one of the favorites for the CL places next year.

 

definately, perhaps we could be outside challengers for the title with liverpool?

 

Massive wind-up, far bigger than Pongle's.

Do you expect me to go through the entire thread making notes so I can quote and condense it all into one post? Will I f***. What did your post contribute, btw? Nothing. Waste of space.

"Deco could put Newcastle on a highway to heaven

 

Few footballers do beauty like Deco does, which is why fans on Tyneside should be so excited by reports linking him with a move.

Don't worry about tomorrow

Take it today

Forget about the cheque

We'll get hell to pay

 

(From AC/DC's "Have a drink on me")

 

AC/DC screecher Brian Johnson failed in his attempt to buy into his beloved Newcastle United several years ago, but you'd be forgiven for thinking Freddy Shepherd and co regularly staggered into the transfer market humming his hedonistic hymns. The club's extravagant and impulsive purchases of over-the-hill, injury-prone or too-bonkers-to-last stars has been reckless and repetitive; at times it's even been entertaining, though recently it's been more crock 'n' cringe than rock 'n' roll.

 

Under the new owner Mike Ashley, Sam Allardyce hasn't exactly signalled his intent to steer a more prudent course than his predecessors: Mark Viduka and Joey Barton are slick players but they carry baggage that even John Smeaton might think twice about handling. The difference, however, is that Big Sam can be counted on to coax the best out of spikey gems. Which is why we must hope that the far-fetched rumours linking Newcastle to Deco turn out to be true.

 

Reports in Spain reckon Barcelona want rid of Deco, who has fallen foul of Frank Rijkaard. Papers in Italy claim both Milan and Inter are on his track. But some in England would have us believe Newcastle is the Portuguese maestro's destination of choice - which leads you to suspect the Magpies have bewitched him with wonga and, therefore, that Deco's arrival would be as cynical and inglorious as those of fortune hunters such as Albert Luque, Michael Owen and Patrick Kluivert.

 

But it wouldn't. It would be brilliant. At least sporadically, which given Deco's supreme skills, would for once be sufficient. He may, at nearly 30, be five years older than a certain celebrated Colombian was when he arrived at St James's Park in 1996, but Deco would be Tino Asprilla times 10.

 

Sure, Deco does ugly things like dive and bitch, but he also does beauty like few other footballers can. His touch is a miracle cure for claustrophobia, making tiny spaces appear ample; his passing a panacea for predictability; and his shooting a lethal injection. He invents new possibilities in an instant, slays opponents in a second. And for all his art, Deco's no fancy dan. He has steely substance. His strength on the ball recalls Maradona and Zidane and he, rather than Ronaldinho, has usually been the driving force of Barça over the last two years, as he was for Champions League-winning Porto before that and as he remains for his adopted Portugal.

 

Rafa Benítez recognised this when neglecting Ronaldinho to instead man-mark Deco in the Nou Camp last season; that wasn't merely a case of cutting off the supply to the Brazilian, it was an acknowledgement that the Portuguese not only initiates moves but can conclude them too. And despite that backhanded accolade Deco scored once and was only denied a second by a post (though Liverpool, of course, won the match).

 

Though he at times lapsed into laziness last season, probably because of unhappiness with the Barça regime, he's a ferocious competitor (as he memorably proved in last year's World Cup bout against Holland) and a naturally enthusiastic worker. Indeed, in his early days in Brazil, Corinthians had to order him to backtrack less so that he could conserve energy for more creative pursuits.

 

And in the unlikely event that Newcastle fans need any more convincing that he's a rare pearl, then consider the clincher: back in 1999 Benfica, after first farming him out on loan, sold him to arch-rivals Porto because their then-manager reckoned he wasn't much cop. The sagacious judge responsible for that howler? One Graeme Souness.

 

Neither the fog on the Tyne nor the lure of mid-table would bring Deco to Newcastle. He'd be coming strictly for lucre. But he wouldn't be able to retire his competitive spirit entirely; Big Sam would ensure that for a good two or three years he'd give value for that money. Actually, make that for a great two or three years. Whomever gets Deco will be on a highway to short-term heaven."

 

no doubt about it he'd come for the cash, but it'd be a marvelous signing

Mainstream newspaper now reporting on the rumour (as opposed to reporting that we're going to sign him)

 

http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/sport/2007/07/11/deco_could_put_newcastle_on_a.html

 

Some nice descriptions about Deco in there. I didn't know Souness sold him while he was at Benfica...

 

Brought in Mark Pembridge as his replacement IIRC.

 

rofl, i assumed that was a joke but its true. Classic.

 

even better is the article that i found to prove it...

 

http://www.4thegame.com/club/swfc/news/37271/

 

Mark Pembridge flew back to England having almost certainly decided to join Benfica - with Wales team-mate Craig Bellamy the latest Graeme Souness target

 

...

 

Bellamy, who has two years of his contract to run at Carrow Road, was the subject of a rejected £1.5million offer from Crystal Palace last season, with Souness believing he can clinch a £2.5m deal.

Why does his Wikipedia say that SSN reported a fee has been agreed?

 

You know how wikipedia works, right?

 

Well Mr. Verlaine, I guess the Deco move isn't looking as ridiculous as you claimed it would be now is it! O ye of little faith!

 

If we sign Deco I'll be expecting an apology considerign the abuse you sent my way.

 

:razz:

Every time I read that I just shake my head in disbelief, what planet was Souness from?
