There is news today that Portsmouth may be after one of Newcastle’s reported targets.
Amara Diane – Portsmouth may be interested
Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp has reportedly watched PSG striker Amare Diane over the weekend.
Redknapp is thought to have watched Diane in action in the French Cup against Olympique Lyon.
Newcastle have also watched the Ivorian Coast player several times in the last few months.
We have no idea if Newcastle are really interested in Diane, and the club have certainly made no bid as yet for the striker.
But we have Diane down on our list of potential acquisitions at Newcastle this summer, along with 123 other players.  😀
Here are some details on the player:
Full name Amara Diané Date of birth 19 August 1982 (1982-08-19) (age 25) Place of birth Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire Height 5’11†Playing position Forward Club information Current club Paris Saint-Germain Number 11 Youth clubs ASEC Abidjan, FC Mantes Senior clubs Years Club App Goals 2000 – 2003 US Roye 34 26 2003 – 2005 Reims 69 27 2005 – 2006 Strasbourg 34 9 2006 - PSG 71 17 2006 - Ivory Coast 2 1

We’ll bring in whoever MA thinks will do a job on the cheap.
We should kick out in order of uselessness
SMITH
AMEOBI
DUFF
ZOG (not because useless but a traitor)
GEREMI
Keep Barton because he is the best c mid we’ve got. Not saying a lot.

Comment #42Daiv, I totally agree with you, apart from keeping Barton.
But I do hope MA will give us the money to go for decent players, rather then ones just to make up the numbers.
I have heard a rumour that Newcastle’s new away shirt will be the same as Marseille’s, which looks like this.

Comment #44De Guzman is a very attacking midfielder. Think Lampard.
He would never come to us, Cruyff wouldnt let him, he thinks hes a bigger talent than Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaka etc.

Comment #45Tom_Toon, their is two players by the name of De Guzman, their brothers if I’m not mistaken.
One plays for Feyenoord who is defensive and the other plays for Deportivo, who is attacking.
They both play at international level in the centre of midfield.

Comment #50Both have played for Canada, but Jonathan played in a friendly and it wasn’t classed as an official game, hence the reason why he can now play for Holland.

Comment #63Ashely will spend – he was going to drop 20 on Modric, so if the talent is right money is there.
didnt he also take a whole load of his own money from accounts for Keegan when he first arriveds as well, but he didnt want to spend. So i think he will come up big. Just the press ruining transfer time for us again.

Comment #64wikipedia is a reliable source, isn’t it?, I’ll tell you what, I’ll go on and write that Newcastle are about to sign Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, I bet this time tomorrow the papers are full of it and for some strange reason St James’ Park has 50 thousand people looking over at our great new signings.

Comment #71Bordeaux maçında rakip oyuncu Jurietti’ye attığı kafa ile Zidane’a ÅŸapka çıkarttırmıştır.Helal olsun!!! 2006-2007 sezonunda 34 maçta oynayarak 8 gol atmıştır. Süper Lig’te 24 maçta 4 gol atmıştır. Transfer dönemine girildiÄŸinde ilk talibi Premier Lig’den Tottenham Hotspur takımı olmuÅŸtur.Ve Arda’ya 13Milyon paund transfer teklifinde bulunmuÅŸtur.Bu teklif Türk futbolcular arasında en pahalı transfer teklifidir.KuÅŸağının en iyi futbolcusu olarak gösterilmektedir.

Comment #73btw,
I think we should look at Martin Fenin (Eintracht Frankfurt), 21, he signed for german club last year and scored a hat-trick in his first match (rings the bell?).
I watched him during last youth world-cup and he was class.
Tom Toon, your verdict on it?

Comment #80if spurs steal turan, we’re going to look like a bunch of idiots, whether we’ve made a solid bid or not, because the papers have linked us so frequently, everyone will just assume theyve completly knicked him from us.
