SUPERTOON Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=371029 Newcastle In For Dede Newcastle are believed to be interested in Borussia Dortmund's Dede. The Brazilian fullback, who has one cap for his country, is currently contracted to Borussia Dortmund, who have slapped an asking price of €10million on his head. Magpies’ manager Sam Allardyce is keen to sign a top-quality left-back this summer and has been alerted to Dede, after a proposed move to Italian giants AS Roma collapsed at the last moment. “The amount they offered just wasn’t acceptable to us,” Dortmund’s sport director Michael Zorc told Ruhr Nachrichten. “We were not prepared to sell him for less than €10million (£6.75m).” The 29-year-old has played over 250 times for Dortmund, and if he stays with the club will be about to start his tenth season at the Westfalenstadion – unless Allardyce succeeds in his pursuit of the player.

Dave Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Goal.com? Who they fuck are they, like? Note as well that it's been written to look like it's our offer he's commenting on. Probably unintentional, but still shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJbarnes Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 how come this isnt a bigger story? dont think it will happen though, unfortunately Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boey_Jarton Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 6.75m seems a little steep considering Dede's age. Improvement on Huntington though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron von Fat Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Dave is in fine form - editing topic titles in under 3 minutes! I've always rated Dede, but haven't seen much of him for the past two years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Nah, can't see it happening. With Cacapa & Drago all but confirmed, I'd imagine if we're to sign another defender now, it'll be a right-back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Nah, can't see it happening. With Cacapa & Drago all but confirmed, I'd imagine if we're to sign another defender now, it'll be a right-back.

Dokko Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Drago is nowhere near confirmed last i heard (unless something happened in the last couple of hours) he was training with his team and nothing has been talked about this side about him. Dede for near enough Heinze price is madness, considering he nearly left on a free not so long ago. Good player from what i remember but that was 5 years ago.

Guest Guinness Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Don't see this one being true, I seem to remember Chelsea being interested a couple of seasons ago but running into problems regarding his work permit. Would be a decent bit of business if we somehow pulled it off though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marca got the Saviola to Real Madrid story about 2 months before he signed, and when we signed Luque, they were about 2 days ahead of our press.

Teasy Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I seem to remember Chelsea being interested a couple of seasons ago but running into problems regarding his work permit. He's lived in Germany now for 9 years, so I don't see how a work permit can be a problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't want to get too excited over a deal that could end up being a load of crap Yeah, it's a daily sports newspaper. A bit like L'Equipe in France. This was from the website today... La lesión de Javi Navarro y la más que segura venta de Dragutinovic al Newcastle han hecho que el Sevilla se mueva a marchas forzadas para buscar un central. in English... The departure of Javi Navarro and the more than certain transfer of Dragutinovic to Newcastle has made Sevilla move in the market to find a central defender.

James Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I've always wondered why Britain doesn't have a dedicated sports paper. Italy has the Gazetto dello Sport France has L'Equipe Spain has Marca. Why dont we have one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's because we have tabloids which isn't really common in Europe which cover sport pretty intensively anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italy has the Gazetto dello Sport France has L'Equipe Spain has Marca. Why dont we have one? Because if they had a full time sports paper it would be less easy for them to make up stories on the spot. They might actually have to do research and inteviews....journalism and stuff. Who can be bothered with that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 We did do the Sportsman, last year. It was half betting and half sports news, but sales were shit, and it folded within a few months. Theres basically not enough sports news per day to make people want to buy it, and to stop buying the sun/mirror etc for their sports news. Plus the starting price would have to be about a pound ( like the Sportsman was), cos no advertisers would pay the same ammount for a paper with no proven circulation.
