Once they get going Newcastle seem to be wasting no time as Sky Sports is said to be reporting today that Newcastle have signed Pablo Aimar, another Argentine midfielder.
Pablo Aimar – another Newcastle signing?
We warn that nothing about this is official until announced by the Newcastle Unite official site, but hopefully that verification will not be too long in coming.
Real Zaragoza, Aimar’s club, were relegated from the Spanish First Division last season, and they wanted to unload their Argentine International to cut costs at the club.
The fee should be anywhere between £6.5M, which is what Zaragoza wanted, and £4M, which is what Newcastle United initially offered, if this news is true.
Real Zaragoza had invited Newcastle to make an improved bid for their player, that will meet the Spanish club’s demands.
Here is Pablo’s career playing record so far:
Years Club App Goals 1995–2001 River Plate 83 21 2001–2006 Valencia CF 162 27 2006– Real Zaragoza 53 5 1999– Argentina 51 8
Again, this is breaking news and nothing is official until it comes from the official Newcastle United Site.
We are certainly hoping this is true though.
Comments very welcome.

Comment #121All of those on here slagging off Ed – I presume we wont see you on here again, at least I certainly hope not. This is an excellent site and anyone can make a mistake, no need to jump on his back and slag him off. Like I said, if you dont like it then bugger off.

Comment #123Hope it will be confirmed that we have signed AIMAR!
Hope we also sign Inler, he really impressed me ; Barnetta has disappointed me, so I don’t know if he would be a good addition. What a midfield we could have next year:
Spidey – Inler – Aimar – Duff (still believe in him)
Just wanted to congratulate Ed for his fantastic blog. Don’t mind the stupid comments of some over here. They would not do it better and if they don’t like those rumours then stop comming to this blog.

Comment #124The mistake was not from ED. The title quite clearly asks the question. Fans want to know whats going on and we are all checking this site to find out the latest.
If you want to beleive everything you MIS READ then buy the sun.
We ll done ED on the site and I hope he has signed.
For all the negative people the transfer window opened 3 days ago and we have signed a quality player. We are now expectign to sign more and more so why all the pessimism.

Comment #125This is all fabricated, This blog is old and no news has been reported would love him to sign but he is too expensive, but inlar sounds goods, don’t know alot but the fact he younger and is hungry is always good, as he would be a good team player.
