His style of football is completely different and i dont think he would fit in. The only thing he would bring at this time would be over rated excitement from the fans and would not deliver any results. Ronaldinho would simply outclass newcastle united.

You tube is littered with videos from agents trying to promote their players, and these aren't particularly special. However Nasri is easily the more impressive of the two, but far from the finished article. If he's not 20 yet he's worth a sizeable chunk of dough. Remember christiano ronaldo was 14million quid at that age, and he was in no way a finished article. Don't rate Payet at all. just you tubed nasri and payet. although they’re are both undoubtedly better footballers than i am (and my second name isn’t owen) i’m not convinced due to the lack of goals on their showreels.

For example if he wished to position one of his brands, for arguments sake, say Slazenger as a football brand I'd do two things a) Ensure NUFC play in the Slazenger kit as soon as possible b) Have a world superstar or two promote the brand on a global basis, better agin if they play for your team (double bubble) It may seem strange to say this right now, however look how Nike launched iteself in the football world on the back of Renaldo and co. and into the field of Golf with Tiger Woods Looking at the big picture with Ashley and the sports brands he owns, I wouldn't be totally surpised if we have made an enquiry about Ronaldinho. Ashley is not investing in Newcastle fo rthe love of the club. He'll be looking at the big picture with respect to global sporting brands.

Dimitri Payet is one we like. He just turned 20 at the end of March. Plays for the French Under 21s and of course FC Nantes. we could do with one or two outstanding youngsters that Sam could bring in – kibd of for the future as they develop.
