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

Comment #81Football FanCast columnist Jim McKendry cannot understand why Newcastle United never get the respect they duly deserve.
Kevin Keegan is very much an enigma in football and you really either love or loath him. I personally have great admiration and respect for the man, for the simple reason that in the modern day game it is rare that you are treated to such honesty. He is a man of principle, belief and wants his football club to play the right way without having to sacrifice style and effort to achieve his goals. What is so wrong with that? The Premier League would be a much better place, if managers all shared that philosophy.
His return to Newcastle United was greeted with much scepticism within the media, who constantly look to knock the football club. It is something that has become widespread among supporters of other clubs who continually try and belittle the club and put it down in any shape of form – you can bet your bottom dollar that they wouldn’t have mind sharing the same highs and lows that the Toon Army have experienced, since the inauguration of the Premier League.
So why do Newcastle get such a hard time and why are they constantly being dismissed as small fry? What is wrong with a football club having high standards? Would they get more credibility if they decided to play route one and kick and chase their way to success? Why does Newcastle United fail to get the respect they duly deserve?
Good write up.

Comment #82If Spurs get Arda then good luck to them, just shows who has the ambition and anyway there has been no concrete evidence that we have been after Arda in the first place.

Comment #91With the speculation surrounding who will be Chelsea’s new manager, it is pretty certain that the majority of the squad will, given the chance, wait to see who takes over from Avram Grant. However, we here at cfcuk.net are almost 100% certain that one player who will NOT be going north to join Newcastle United is midfielder Shaun Wright-Phillips.
Following Chelsea’s penultimate match of last season’s Premier league programme, the Blues team were going down the St James’ Park tunnel as the Newcastle Utd side were going out on to the pitch to wish their supporters all the best for the summer break.
As Shaun passed one of the Newcastle side – a former team mate – he was asked about the rumours that were already abounding about his possible departure from Stamford Bridge.
He was also asked whether there was any truth in the newspaper stories that were, even then, linking the England midfielder with a move to The Toon.
Before he had the time to answer, the Newcastle player – who shall not be named for obvious reasons – said, “Don’t bother coming up here… it’s a sh*thole!â€
With that, the two players then shook hands, wished each other ‘all the best’ and went their separate ways.
This is off CFCUK.NET so i dont know how true this is.
