• 2 RaNdOm NeRd // Jun 11, 2008 at 11:52

  Second

• 3 ronaldeano // Jun 11, 2008 at 11:54

  Hahaha, i thaught this article would please you Tom-Toon!

• 4 James // Jun 11, 2008 at 11:56

  Tom Toon has been raving about this guy for 6 months. Looks like KK has been listenin…

  And there was us all telling Tom_Toon to shut up cause a player like this wouldn’t be on the club’s radar…WE WERE WRONG TOM

  You are now an official scout for the club

• 5 broon ale // Jun 11, 2008 at 11:56

  is this a wind up.? he is just another name to add to the now endless list of transfer targets!!

• 6 liamtoonbirchy // Jun 11, 2008 at 11:57

  tom toon says he is good, ive only chllenged him on bosingwa being better than ramos because he isnt lol. so yeah sign him up barcelona are said to be intrested too.

  Boro have bid for digard, we are linked but we havent bid, perfect player for butt to tutor.

  elmander is available for 6m, bargain

  kompany would be a great signing, and we could challenge marseille for boulahrouz because chelsea wont want him and will be less than 5m which is cheap for how good he is

• 7 HeronMag // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:03

  Tom Toon’s dream is finally coming true haha!

• 8 Nick Dryden // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:04

  Beardo was 5ft 8”. I hate this too small argument.

• 9 ronaldeano // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:06

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WsYEi_upu4

  This is him getting a slap!

  It must have been a bad tackle to warrent that!

• 10 ToonRich // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:06

  Good touting Tom they’ve finally shown interested in somone you’ve been raving about for months!

• 11 Davies // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:07

  Broon Ale, what exactly is it that fuels your negativity?

  I really don’t remember you ever having put a positive comment up on these posts.

  I like the look of this guy. Anyone know how much he’s worth?

  Tom_Toon???

• 12 SwedeEric // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:07

  It´s player nr 200 we are linked with.. But realy hope there is some truth behind this! Realy good prospect!

  And to Boularhouz, didn´t he show in chelsea that he isn´t good enought for the EPL?

  Elmander for 6M pund sounds a good deal… This season hasn´t been that good to him, but the season before he was truly awsome! In that form he would deff be a great player for us! If I had to buy a swede, I would go for Larsson of the two…

  Some people talk about Kompany… Have we been linked with him that I have missed or is it yust you guys who want´s him to come?

• 13 Davies // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:09

  Quality clip ronaldeano.

• 14 broon ale // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:11

  constant transfer speculation fuels my “negativity”
  the list of players is getting insane now like.

  wake me up in august

• 15 Tom_Toon // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:12

  Hes gonna cost £3mil max, closer to £2mil so definitely worth a gamble.

• 16 Tom4Nufc // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:12

  I think its about 1.5m

• 17 Tom4Nufc // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:13

  Tom_Toon I heard he was available for 1.5m, unless his price has rised in one month? lol

• 18 Tom_Toon // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:15

  http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/amine%2Bchermiti/video/x3vlv3_compil-amine-chermiti_sport

  there a vid of him and if you click my name you’ll see a quick vid of him.

  Hes wants to leave Tunisia because the defender cant handle him nd they normally spit on him and just kick him.

• 19 Tom_Toon // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:16

  They will sell in the region of 2.5mil euros to 4 mil euros.

• 20 Leo // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:20

  spit on him? thats wrotten, i remember when i was 12 i played rugby and i was faster than everyone on my team and they resented me for it some little twurp spat peanuts into my face after a game

  you would think they would show apreciation but no.

  anyway i bet you creamed when you saw this tom toon…

  i would take this link with a pinch of salt because i remember someone mentioning edgar davids and the next day they were in the papers this sort of thing happens quite often…

  i guess the press read this for tips on who to link the club with

• 21 Tom_Toon // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:20

  http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/amine%2Bchermiti/video/x5l7yw_chermiti-punk_sport

  thats what he did because he got so annoyed with the defenders because they just constantly foul him and abuse his cos they cant handle him.

• 22 Graeme // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:22

  Could even be cheap at twice the price. Could be a great signing with huge potential.

• 23 broon ale // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:22

  tom-toon. he wont sign! sorry buddy

• 24 Tom_Toon // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:25

  I know its very unlikely but this personifies our new buying policy doesnt it.

• 25 ronaldeano // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:26

  @Tom-Toon, they cant handle him, see my clip mate.

  If thats the treatment he gets in Tunisia…..!

• 26 broon ale // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:27

  our buying policy?

  not sure about that Tom. it could of been fabricated from the media or an agent.

  we dont know if all the players we have been linked with are an accurate indication of players we are targeting.

• 27 Hadrian // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:28

  lol , read the target and knew tom_toon would be first on this thread

• 28 Tom_Toon // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:30

  I know but i tend to find the players that come out of nowhere like this one did probably have more substance than being linked with prem players or well known foreigners.

• 29 jon // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:31

  looks great! grab him! a cheap van der vaart! lol

• 30 broon ale // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:33

  would rather have seb larrson tom.

  i know its each to there own tho buddy so its fine.

  even tho someone accused me of being mr negativity earlier i can honestly say its just because it seems newcastle are being very sluggish in the transfer market and this endless list of players gets very annoying.

• 31 Warwick Hunt // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:35

  @Tom_toon.
  Who was that other Tunis Player you used to rave about?

• 32 Tom_Toon // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:35

  I want Larrson too, but he isnt a striker is he!

  and £2mil, not going to argue over that. - If there was any truth in it then our club would be idots not to pursue it. What can you get for 2 mil now? and third of an alan smith!?!?!?

• 33 Tom_Toon // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:36

  Chikhaoui

• 34 TomPoon // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:37

  If we are going to buy a Tunisian, I would rather have Chikoui (cant spell it though)

• 38 Warwick Hunt // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:51

  Chick cowy thats the fella, I knew it was spellled nothing like it was pronounced. Whats happening with him these days?

• 39 Tom_Toon // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:54

  He tore ligaments in his knee and just had an op but Marseille really want him and Benfica and Hamburg are tracking him very closely.

• 40 Yahya Ahmad // Jun 11, 2008 at 12:58

  Whats the latest on Arda Turan and Bafetimbi Gomis!

• 41 figsdad // Jun 11, 2008 at 13:02

  Out of all the players linked how many would you all say we could really attract at st james..

• 42 richie // Jun 11, 2008 at 13:10

  tom toon u must be a scout…lol..wat type of player is he??winger type??

• 43 Tom_Toon // Jun 11, 2008 at 13:16

  Hes plays the Owen kind of role or you could compare him to Robbie Keane.

• 44 Punk Skunk // Jun 11, 2008 at 13:23

  @ Nick Dryden…Aye Pedro is 5′ 8″…Totally agree with you man, what’s size got to do with anythin’?..Owen 5′ 5″ still scores with towerin’ headers!..It’s what you do with it Ed!..

• 45 Rem // Jun 11, 2008 at 13:25

  anyone know what happened to them to players from middle east who won a contract with us on a tv show?

• 46 Yahya Ahmad // Jun 11, 2008 at 13:30

  Im tired of all this speculation!!!!!!!!

• 47 SuperShearer // Jun 11, 2008 at 13:30

  Tom_Toon do I dare ask how you know about such obscure players? I like to think I have a pretty good knowledge of football but compared to you I’m embarrassed! Are you actually a professional scout?

• 48 Yahya Ahmad // Jun 11, 2008 at 13:31

• 52 Bill F SPLASH THE CASH ASH // Jun 11, 2008 at 13:36

  I’m sure that someone at the Toon reads this blog and I think it probably gets up their noses a bit, as Ed gets more hits. Which is possibly why Chris Mort came onto the blog a few weeks back to push the official site. Tom Toon has done his bit to try and steer them in the right direction and I think a lot of the other bloggers can take some Kudos for efforts made (Including me in all modesty ) to highlight worthwhile prospects also to point out the rubbish. All we need now is some actual signings.

• 53 Ian // Jun 11, 2008 at 13:36

  Keegans back, he left a shopping list and nothing much has happened, I dont know about you but I think he will not be a happy man when he gets back in the office.

  OK lads who is ready to sign? These three lads from Carlisle United Kevin, one is a really good keeper……… duck everyone.

• 54 toonoot // Jun 11, 2008 at 13:38

• 56 HeronMag // Jun 11, 2008 at 13:39

  A little off the topic lads but what do you think about Fat Fred buying Real Mallorca?

  If it comes off we could end up getting first option on a lot of young spanish talent, or use Real as a feeder club for our reserves.

  Interesting move by Freddy like.

  We get it Ahmed chill with the multiple postings. A little patience.

  Congrats Tom this is surely you makin’ lmao.

  What’s Marcos Senna’s situation at Villarreal? available? he looked pretty solid against the Russians.

• 62 spanishtoon // Jun 11, 2008 at 14:41

  marcos senna noooooooooooo

• 63 chuck // Jun 11, 2008 at 14:57

  TOM TOON, how is it possible for one person to know so much about who`s who, in the game.
  The dictionary, the bible, I`m impressed, WOW!

• 64 Petworth (DC) Mag // Jun 11, 2008 at 15:00

  lol really? not impressed Spanishtoon? Thought he make a nice replacement for Butt, looked like could actually complete a pass

• 65 Punk Skunk // Jun 11, 2008 at 15:06

  Hey TT, how did y’exams go mate?..
  …All good, i hope?..

  …What d’y'reckon, any truth in this rumour?..
  …Big game today, or what?..Could see you lot thru?..

• 66 Ian // Jun 11, 2008 at 15:08

  re-fat Fat Freddy may be a way to get his money in to a tax haven with a good climate, business address Andorra or somewhere similar.

• 67 Tom_Toon // Jun 11, 2008 at 15:09

  Ye not bad but 7 hours of exams in 1 day isnt the way forward.

  Dunno if there is any truth, hope there is, they only want about 2-3 mil so definitely worth the gamble.

  Ye, we’ll beat the Czechs, Bosingwa (best player when he plays for Portugal) will carry us through. I just hope ITV shut up about Ronaldo for once.

• 68 Punk Skunk // Jun 11, 2008 at 15:16

  Phew, that musta stung?..

  …I reckon he’s a bargain at that price, gotta be worth a punt!..

  …Yea, you should win, but y’never know with the czechs, maybe Rozehnal will keep you at bay… …Ha!..
  …Aye, bosingwa looks pretty damned good!..
  …But yea, please itv shut the F U about ronaldo…It must be really annoyin’ for you man?..They do bleat on, don’t they?..Their constant fawning over certain players does my heed in!..

  Sh!t! Is it me, or does that kid look like Solano?

• 72 gonufc // Jun 11, 2008 at 15:53

  To be honest, Chermiti looks like a right prick. Just watched a video of him writhing in agony for 5 mins get stretchered off then spring up and sprint back on. He reminds me of Ronaldo, but not for his skill. Also that stamping vid, was it done to him or by him?

• 73 Tom_Toon // Jun 11, 2008 at 16:00

  probsbly done to him, the defenders in the tunisian league cant handle him so they hack him and abuse him, ive seen one spit on him once.

• 74 Punk Skunk // Jun 11, 2008 at 16:30

  Any PMT yet TT?..

• 75 gonufc // Jun 11, 2008 at 17:48

  TomToon, Bosingwa’s looked pretty poor so far today. Keeps making mistakes.

• 76 Ian // Jun 11, 2008 at 18:19

  Greetings Toon fans,

  I write for Tunisia World Cup Blog and thought I’d share with you all the articles I’ve written about our young talent. The link below should be helpful to those who want to learn more about Amine Chermiti. Amine, not Armine like the English press reports. Not a big deal though Hertha Berlin is haggling over the transfer price. Porto and even Juventus were looking at this kid. His value skyrocketed at the Club World Cup where he had some impressive outings against the likes of Pachuca, Boca Juniors, and Urawa Reds.
