Reports today, not for the first time, that Newcastle United are interested in 28 year-old Dutch defender, Joris Mathijsen.
Joris Mathijsen in tussle with Russian Andrei Arshavin
The Dutch defender is said to be attracting a number of Premier clubs, with Blackburn Rovers and Sunderland also reportedly interested in the 5′11″ center back.
Mathijsen, a Dutch international, has 33 caps for his country, and plays for Bundesliga side Hamburg.
He has played for the German club 58 times, since joining them in the summer of 2006, from Dutch club AZ Alkmaar.
The Dutchman is thought to be valued at around £10M, which seem rather high to us.
But the defender had some good games in the recently completed Euro 2008, playing in both the group games against Italy and France, and in Holland’s quarter final defeat to Russia.
Newcastle have recently signed local defender, Steven Taylor, to a new and vastly improved 3 year contract. It appears that Newcastle more than tripled Steven’s wages at the club, but he earned that contract, with some solid performances at the back under Kevin Keegan.
Taylor formed a good budding partnership with Abdoulaye Faye towards the end of last season, in central defense.
But Kevin Keegan will want to bring in at least one additional center back, since center-backs Peter Ramage and Lamine Diatta, both left the club in the summer.
Competition for places is vital to getting the very best out of the players at any club, and of course Faye is more than useful as a defensive midfielder too. 20 year-old David Edgar will also be fighting for one of the defensive positions next season.
We don’t know too much about Mathijsen, but a £10M fee for the player seems far too high, especially when we were quoted less for Glasgow Ranger’s Spanish center back, Carlos Cuellar, who we think would be a better buy for the club – if he’s available.

God no, he is shocking.

£10,000,000? way too much. The fella is good in the air but that is about it.
Even in Euros it is still vastly inflated.
3 mozza // Jul 6, 2008 at 4:50 PM
said it before but why go for him when cuellars younger, cheaper and a dam sight better and if your paying 10 mill buy collocini instead
4 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jul 6, 2008 at 4:54 PM
please god know, collicini, cuellar and defo evans
5 Ashingtoon62 // Jul 6, 2008 at 4:55 PM
I know youv`e lived in the states for a while Ed but surely it`s defence,we are talking about lol.
Seriously though,he would be an excellent aquisition.
6 scottish mag // Jul 6, 2008 at 4:55 PM
forget about cuellar, he has said about 100 times he doesnt want to leave and that he isnt interested in money. but i agree if we are spending 10m on a cb then coloccini would be my pick
7 mozza // Jul 6, 2008 at 4:55 PM
good news aboot dunne yesterday, signing that new deal dont know why we had any interest in a defender who was instrumental in man city conceding 8 against the beasts
8 Soren // Jul 6, 2008 at 4:56 PM
£10m for Mathijsen is a joke! Hes nowhere near worth that price and isnt better than Feye or Taylor. No go!
9 cooldj // Jul 6, 2008 at 4:59 PM
no thanks tbh. i’ve been banging on for absolutely ages about luiz the cb playing in portugal. i was the first guy to mention him on this site ages ago and he looks like he could be a top, no nonsense player
10 HATE PRAWN SANDWICHES // Jul 6, 2008 at 5:01 PM
Don’t worry MA wont spend £10million on one player!! he could get two for that Price!!
Sorry!!
11 The Entertainers // Jul 6, 2008 at 5:02 PM
I think we could do better and some of the previous names sound better deals.
10 million is far too much and at 28 this does no seem like a ‘New Newcastle’ transfer.
LOOK ELSE WHERE KEV.
12 HATE PRAWN SANDWICHES // Jul 6, 2008 at 5:04 PM
Hope im wrong but with all that MA has been linked to and with is he out to spend £10million on a defender? just feel he only wants to spend the least amount to keep us mid-table!!
13 HATE PRAWN SANDWICHES // Jul 6, 2008 at 5:06 PM
Ashley only wants youth because he doesn’t want to spend money!!
14 HATE PRAWN SANDWICHES // Jul 6, 2008 at 5:07 PM
He’s out for number one!!
15 Ross G // Jul 6, 2008 at 5:07 PM
The reason Mathijsen is so good, is that he is a superb organiser, he is left footed, great in the air his reading is second to none. We need to invest in this type of Defender to play alongside steven to make him into a top CB. Faye is good, but a better back up. Cuellar is a good CB but is exactly like Taylor raw and still learning he would not improve our defence as much as Mathijsen. Collocini again good but no organiser. I would like to see someone like Mathijsen if not him come to us all the top clubs have the older organiser and the more brutish partner. E.g Rio – organiser, Vidic Brute. Arsenal – Gallas organiser, Sendaros Brute. Chelsea – Terry organsier/brute, Carvalho – brute, etc etc. Be nice to get Cuellar in aswell, my first choice would be Metzelder at Real. He hasnt really played at Real they have Pepe, Cannavaro, Heinze, and Garay at CB, while Ramos can also play there and apparently he is available. He would be perfect for Taylor. Would cost around £10m too, can play RB also to help versatility. His only weakness is his injury record which isnt great, but he is another Woody – which again proves Keegan is on the same wave length as me, im just amazing at life in general.
16 Matthew // Jul 6, 2008 at 5:08 PM
Great analogy there, Mozza.
17 Tom_Toon // Jul 6, 2008 at 5:10 PM
Ross G – Carvalho is the organiser, and Senderos a brute? ahah, nah hes just crap. Along with Mathijsen, organiser, ahaha, the dtch defence is crap and basically every dutch fan i know hates Mathijsen and he shouldnt be in their team.
Metzelder is very slow and injured over half te season!
18 Mac // Jul 6, 2008 at 5:10 PM
Rss how can you call Carvallio a Brute he is class a far better defender than Terry infact i’d say the best in the World. Metzelder of Germany is shocking. He was exposed during the Euros
19 Leo // Jul 6, 2008 at 5:10 PM
madness simple
20 Hadji // Jul 6, 2008 at 5:11 PM
Maybe 6 mill max,we need stability and experience.He matches the criteriums cause he’s not too young and not too old.I’dd take him for the quoted price of 6 mill.
21 cooldj // Jul 6, 2008 at 5:14 PM
luiz-been saying him for years now
22 mozza // Jul 6, 2008 at 5:16 PM
that theory’s gathering pace all the time hps, cant believe we’ve been linked with bin laden’s family today lol whatever next eh a takeover attempt by a consortium of mugabe, Kim Jong-il and led by spector of james bond, broadsheets are becoming a totall joke now they even use stories now quoting the sun as a source
23 Tom_Toon // Jul 6, 2008 at 5:17 PM

36 Yahya Ahmad // Jul 6, 2008 at 5:35 PM
Who would buy him for 10 Million! I would rather get Coloccini, Khalid Boulahrouz, Evans etc!

just good players not playing at the big clubs.
38 Tom_Toon // Jul 6, 2008 at 5:40 PM
Leonid Kovel playing for a midtable Ukranian club, Karpaty Lyiv, Ivelin Popov playing for Litex.
Edit: Just seen Kovel just moved, oh well
Popov then.
Maybe Eremenko Jnr. But i;ve only seen him play for Finland, not a club side.
39 cooldj // Jul 6, 2008 at 5:49 PM
never heard of them but will look out for them
anyone else watching the ‘tennis’
40 daiv // Jul 6, 2008 at 5:49 PM
This club will sign nobody of consequence until Ashley …. off. He will not put his money into this club because he wants to make a profit out of the club. Yes we have been linked to expensive players, but signed none of them Its a game for him to keep the fans onside. Spurs played the same game for years. As a Spurs supporter he is playing the same game. He will sell and that is the issue for us. Nothing will be achieved until he is gone because the club is destabilised. No player worth his salt will come to NUFC. The Americans have stated that NUFC came to them to sell. The Sun and others are reporting the Americans. Or are some on this blog daft enough to suggest that the Sun has paid the American company to invent the story.
41 Anthony // Jul 6, 2008 at 5:50 PM
big no
42 daiv // Jul 6, 2008 at 5:51 PM
Who we sign is completely unimportant. We need to know where MA is at the moment vis a vis Newcastle and whether Kevin will stay with an owner who is a complete rat.
43 simon P // Jul 6, 2008 at 5:53 PM
Great, good to see we are linked with more pap no-one else wants. Also, nice to see that Arenal and Man U are linked with Huntelaar, and we are linked with …wait for it…Leroy Lita.
Class !
Hooray…roll on next season !!!!!!
44 daiv // Jul 6, 2008 at 6:00 PM
I feel really sorry for Kevin. He has been had over completely. he cahe back to make us great again but realizes that with Ashley and Wise and the Greek guy that is impossible. I believe inKK totally. I hope he walks, speaks out and then the fans force MA out. He will not dare to go back in the stands next season. Me and my mates……embarrass him for want ofa better expression. Best he stays in the directors box and supps champagne.
45 dan // Jul 6, 2008 at 6:03 PM
‘linked with this player’
If KK is actually after this player I will eat my hat.
Ed if you are an retired IBM executive, then I am suprised you constantly report this crap. The only player we signed so far was someone that none of those jokers even had a clue about, and that is after us being ‘linked’ with about 60 players.
The truth is none of us have a clue about who the club is after until they say. My advice is to check the Chronicle and nufc.co.uk. I think next week KK will sign 1 or 2 players.
46 John // Jul 6, 2008 at 6:06 PM
totaly Agree Daiv…
It really looks now that Ashley wants out..He’s in it for a quick profit no more…Hope he sells very soon so we can all move ..We real;ly need stability at our club and that won’t happen now until Ashley leaves
47 John // Jul 6, 2008 at 6:07 PM
Dan this is a brillant blog, best newcastle blog there is…If you don’t like it you don’t have to come on here
48 dfs // Jul 6, 2008 at 6:08 PM
daiv will you get a grip man. As soon as they signed gutierrez everybody was going on about how great ashley is. after that signing died down everyone is all of a sudden jumping on his back again and will do until we make another signing just calm down man it’s only the sun
49 Matthew // Jul 6, 2008 at 6:09 PM
The Americans have stated that NUFC came to them to sell.
……………..
No they didn’t.

Ashley has been sussed. he will not be welcome again with the supporters. sell up and clear off mate. I hope he is not sitting next to me in the away end come September.
51 The Kaiser // Jul 6, 2008 at 6:17 PM
If you are gonna spend daft money like that on a defender….Try and nick an established premiership defender like Samba from Blackburn….I was impressed with him last year. I know sparky is sniffin around him for City. But if Ashleys willing to part with some wedge then why not he’d be a better buy than Mathijsen.
52 daiv // Jul 6, 2008 at 6:19 PM

What does a representative from NUFC came to the American company and put NUFC for sale mean then? I know it was not Ashley but this guy is a complete ghost and lives behind his shadow while we all fret about what is going on. He is the problem. He says nothing. Great!!! In my world he is a total …….
53 dan // Jul 6, 2008 at 6:20 PM
Mike Ashley is the best Chairman we have ever had and the Sun newspaper is absolute fiction.
Did you notice how another newspaper jumped on the bandwagon and said BinLadens family want to invest!!!!
This is all just National media crap designed to cause trouble with the Newcastle supporters and anyone who is stupid enough to believe the Sun newspaper should go and bury their head in the sand somewhere.
Mike Ashley wants the best for our club and not a quick profit. He wouldn’t even show his face on matchdays if his intentions where otherwise.

Don’t worry… MA will have to change his image very quickly (buy large) because he won’t be welcome at away games. I go to them and attitudes are changing
57 Matthew // Jul 6, 2008 at 6:25 PM
It doesn’t say a representative of Newcastle.
———
“InterMedia was approached about a deal, made no offer and has no interest,” a spokesman told BBC Sport.
On Friday, Newcastle dismissed the claims as “absolute nonsense”.
It is not known who made the approach to InterMedia.

Do you know what a fund manager is, Daiv?

It is absolute crap man get a grip.
60 Toon1978 // Jul 6, 2008 at 6:26 PM
I have been saying this from the start MA has no interest in NUFC and is only here for profit. Ashley needs to realise that he cant get a quick profit he needs to stabilise the club, bring in quality youngsters as he is doing i must admit but he also needs to bring in quality proven players IF he wants NUFC to be anything like Arsenal. Unfortunately he has no interest and is looking for a quick buck. I for one do not want that sort of person leading my beloved football team. I would love for Ashley to change my opinion of him but that looks a long way off. I will keep the faith in NUFC whether we have a crook as owner or no crook as owner at the end of the day Ashley will not get the upper hand on the most faithful fans in the land he will be drove out.
61 daiv // Jul 6, 2008 at 6:31 PM
Matthew
Look at he facts. Read Slam Dunc. The guy wants out. Too dear for him but I would appreciate some honesty from him. A poor billionaire on his last few hundred million cannot affor players on£100K a week. cannot afford £15M players but please MA stop treating the fans as fools. Sell up to some rich American and give the club credibilty again. Do not sell to Bin Laden’s family. I would rather win nothing for another 50 years. I’ll be dead by then!

65 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jul 6, 2008 at 6:48 PM
toon 1978- i played golf today and spoke to his step dad, he hasnt signed yet but he definatley will be. his step dad said that it was michael owen who persuaded him most. he also said they were real dubious about the meeting wise, but he is one of the nicest blokes anyone could wish to meet, he also added, that wise took time out of his family holiday for a 2 hour phone call to aaron and his family, to see how things are going with selling the house and stuff, this week. so all looks very promising on that front.
People may not believe me, and think i am doing what that twirp who said keegan was in his resturant has done, but i swear this is honest truth.
66 Geordie Gerrard7 // Jul 6, 2008 at 6:49 PM
ashton, i am with you there he is very very good
67 Matthew // Jul 6, 2008 at 6:51 PM
Daiv – I take it from you trying to change your stance you admit that the Yank’s didn’t say a representative from Newcastle contacted them? Or that you don’t know what a fund manager is and how they go about business?
As for Slam Dunc’s post, admittedly, spread-betting on banking shares is not exactly the greatest deal on the planet, this has nothing to do with the club. And if his contract for difference on the HBOS shares is longer-term, he could be very, very wealthy in 3 years time although margin on his account will use up a lot of his funds.
Didn’t Ashley rake in about £60m on Adidas shares in a few weeks? That just shows how easily the market fluctuates and his Sports Direct shares will do the same, in 2 years from now if England qualify for the World cup his shares will be right back up again although probably not as high as £3 which they were floated at, I wouldn’t be surprised if Ashley doesn’t buy some more shares back in the company now it’s on it’s arse.
This has little to do with NUFC though and what business men don’t do is rush out and sell other businesses because one has taken a short term drop in share value.
68 kizza // Jul 6, 2008 at 6:52 PM
EVERYONE…. i have news thats a bit late…. but Ameobi is joining Glen Roader at Norwich in the next few days.
Didn’t anyone watch that pre-season training interview that Glen gave to skysportsNews on thursday/friday.
Well if you didn’t he talked about Norwich and when asked about signings he replyed…
“we are on the verge (or very hopeful…I cant remember exactly) of signing a premiership playerâ€
Now everybody knows that Glen is an admirer of Ameobi (when Glen took charge his goal ratio averaged a goal every 2 games)and he has tried to sign him before and even tried to get him on loan last January.
Players don’t get trasfered on a weekend so expect some news on the deal sometime next week.
69 MattyB // Jul 6, 2008 at 6:54 PM
I dont understand why everyone is saying that ashley is tight?? we bid more than spurs did for modric and we bid 25 euros for cordozo or woteva his name is earlier in the summer?? we will spend money just not waste it like FS did on the likes of luque, boumsong etc of course ashley wants a profit from newcastle he is a business man he would be mad to just spend millions on the club for no reason. but he isnt a mug and he knows to get a profit from newcastle he needs us to shoot up the table first!! he wont sell this year i would put money on it.

silence fuels rumors, matthews approach is a considered one, dont just believe that because a company say they were approached, they really were, they may have approached ashley and ended up with egg on their face because he quoted them a ridiculous price to deter the, could be wide of the mark as anal says, but just a thought
72 ObaFan2 // Jul 6, 2008 at 7:17 PM
FGS I thought my Mrs moaned but Daiv you take the biscuit, reminds me of the android from hitchhikers guide.
As for this situation, one minute we’re slaggin the press for the rubbish they print and then lapping up the stories. It seems to me judging by our signing of Spidey last week the press have very little factual information about NUFC to print until its common knowledge.
As for making Ashley “embarassed” just think yourself lucky the club’s still here and in the EPL because if it hadn’t changed hands last year God knows where we’d be now.
I was under the impression a third party contacted the Americans about selling NUFC, whatever that means………

74 Matthew // Jul 6, 2008 at 7:19 PM
I think they were approached but not by anyone from Newcastle, I think a fund manager or advisor somewhere has tried to make a quick buck by selling NUFC without the agreement of the club.
All they do is sniff out a buyer and seller, see what their interest is and pocket the difference.
You would be surprised how often it happens.

Steve,
– I have no idea what’s true and what isn’t – just a best guess.
I said I’d cover every player we are linked to in the transfer market this summer – and then say whether we think it’s true – or whether they would be a good buy etc.
I have something written on one of the side-bars about this – PLEASE don’t believe every story that’s up here – but it’s been reported elsewhere – some are even the NOTW and they provide light entertainment
Only the club know what’s really going on – which is how it should be.
But lighten up – and take these transfer things with a pinch of salt – we thought Jonas Gutierrez signing was great – because nobody had a whisper of it – until the club announced it – fabulous and great work by Newcastle.

97 mozza // Jul 6, 2008 at 8:17 PM

98 normski1930z // Jul 6, 2008 at 8:18 PM
oy settle doon mozza snakeys bad for ya health them kid went through a phaze about two years ago, ah must have juiced the cot aboot ten times wor lass was gannin off it….

is he really that good like coz apart from the euros av never seen him play…
100 Yahya Ahmad // Jul 6, 2008 at 8:20 PM
Yeah about few months ago! Also Liverpool were linked with him aswell and the price for him was about 15 million!
101 Yahya Ahmad // Jul 6, 2008 at 8:22 PM
Also how come he isnt capped for either Venezuela or Spain!
102 steve // Jul 6, 2008 at 8:23 PM
your right ed. i’ll try to lighten up and not get so fed up with seeing my beloved club constantly made to look totally f**cking stupid by apparent experts who speculate on things they cant possibly have a clue about. i’ll try harder to ignore your site when i see far fetched headlines manufactured from your creative fingers, pop up on newsnow.co.uk. by the way, my mate was playing super mario cart with joey barton in his cell. he reckons ashley approached barton, and offered to sell him the club. unfortunatley, he’d just had his range rover mot’d so was a bit skint. keep up the good work
103 normski1930z // Jul 6, 2008 at 8:23 PM
yahya where was that reported like i never seen that one, must have been when i was in france…
104 mozza // Jul 6, 2008 at 8:25 PM
lol normski, very highly rated surprise of serie a last season
105 Sav // Jul 6, 2008 at 8:26 PM
ObaFan2, you said it m8. – Some moaning minnies and miserygutses on here.
Any chance we could wait until MA drops us back in the clarts he fished us out of before blackening the bloke’s name?
Only bloke I think sould do a bit better is mavvies Llambias, who has barely said ‘howdydo’ since he arrived. He’s a well-known ‘ammer fan and a bit patter about how he’s going to sell his gran for the Toon wouldn’t go amiss, but that’s just his PR problem.
106 normski1930z // Jul 6, 2008 at 8:26 PM
hey i see calderon is at the wimbledon final..
107 SDC#9 // Jul 6, 2008 at 8:27 PM
10million is very expensive for this guy though he isnt bad.
I think we should go after Iaquinta of Juventus, he wants to move cause hes not getting first team football. We can offer that and he’d be great replacement for Viduka, might even be able to get him on loan cause I can’t see any italian clubs wanting him,AC mebbe if they dont get anyone. Defencewise we might have an outside chance of getting Perea considering the signings Atletico have/will make.
108 normski1930z // Jul 6, 2008 at 8:29 PM
was it tom toon that sed he was rated as the best forigener in serie a or something a couple of days ago???
109 fernando // Jul 6, 2008 at 8:31 PM
51 times that was absolutely hilarious what you wrote on skysports pretending to be a spurs fan. You are a genius my boy. I bet everyone believed you and now thinks spurs fans are idiots. Please keep us informed of your pranks. Do you know any good knock knock jokes. you should have put your real name though so you could have basked in all the glory that would have come your way.
What a cock!!!!!!!
110 mozza // Jul 6, 2008 at 8:35 PM
aye he dosen’t half rate him normski and he’s got the most knowledge of foreign footballers for a seventeen year old kid av ever seen , should stick him on feckin mastermind, tom toon your questions on obscure foreign footballers nobody else have heard of but could be great signings begins
111 fernando // Jul 6, 2008 at 8:36 PM
Why is tom toon regarded as a football scout on here. He is a 17 year old boy that spends to much time playing football manager.
112 normski1930z // Jul 6, 2008 at 8:38 PM
aye the kid nahs alot like he was saying he was doing his a levels or summick he cant be doing much graft coz hes always watching football …quality post son.
113 Ashton // Jul 6, 2008 at 8:45 PM
I don’t know whay he isnt capped last season bilbao conceded less goals than barcalona and villareal !
btw who’s watching federer Vs nadal what a game !!!!
114 mozza // Jul 6, 2008 at 8:45 PM
cheers pal, wonder where hps is he’s always got good crack, cant believe a can type when am rat arsed, sometimes and this is shamefull, a only know what av typed the next mornin when a check the blog ffs, however, when a was a kid a used to hate the not knowing what you’ve done when your’e pissed side of things at 36 a find it amusing and strangely theraputic
115 normski1930z // Jul 6, 2008 at 8:46 PM
tell ye what if inler is as good at football as federer is at tennis he will be a world beater…
116 fernando // Jul 6, 2008 at 8:47 PM
I bet tom toon sits in his room wearing his jonn motson sheep skin coat with the sound down on the tv while running his own commentary on games. All his teddy bears lined up on the end of his bottom bunk are interviewed at half time and given a halftime orange.
117 normski1930z // Jul 6, 2008 at 8:49 PM
aye hps, entertainers,tom toon, and afew other lads are good crak i enjoy lads that come on here and just want to have a laugh not these guys who come on here and are super serious…

121 mozza // Jul 6, 2008 at 8:58 PM
aye pal you get these super serious snipin twats who, love putting people down making themselves look clever, because they done well at discursive writing at school, or they put ed doon for a few typos and to be fair it might sound like pissed patta but he does a waxer job with this blog and i for one would be gutted withoot it, my lass wouldn’t like she’s feckin sick of me being on it, al be back in an hour got to keep mesell reet with wor lass and the bairn am gettin hacky looks from the living room lol

123 Tom_Toon // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:05 PM
fernando dont be silly, yes im 17 but im a part time scout Arsenal mate
Im the reasons Arsenal are so much beter than your shittty little Sperms run by the jewish mafia.
124 normski1930z // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:09 PM
tt dont rise to it man thats all he wants…….
125 fernando // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:12 PM
maybe you should scout for newcastle as they need all thehelp they can get. Jewish mafia is a new one.
126 toonoot // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:15 PM
Give it 20 minutes ans someone will mention Hitler.
127 toonoot // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:16 PM

129 normski1930z // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:18 PM
back in the day when i was a hooligan me and 8 other lads ran them all over london ffs there pussys and they know it the only ones in london that have any bottle are chelsea,west ham and millwall had some craking barneys with them lads over the years and i still keep in touch with some of them and they all say the yids are a bunch of f**king mugs….
130 Tom_Toon // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:19 PM
I could easily replace that clown you call your director of football fernando, actually Ronald McDonald could, who did he hail as amazing buys, Zokora, Ekotto, Kaboul, Dawson etc, what a laugh.
131 Ashton // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:19 PM
kike mafia
132 fernando // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:20 PM
I think some people expect all spurs fans to walk around with skull caps and platted sideburns. As i am black i dont think the look would suit me. Oh well i am ff to hang around on a street corner to sell drugs with my knife in my pocket and a comb in my fro.
133 Tom_Toon // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:22 PM
Spurs fans are still flattered by the movie Green Street where a hobbitt is their hardest member. ahahahaha.
134 fernando // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:25 PM
tom toon you know naff all about football as has been proved by the comments you make on here. try berbatov, woodgate, hutton, modric, dos santos, gomes, bostock, eboue, fabregas.
135 fernando // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:27 PM
green street isnt about spurs. You obviously havent seen it as it is an 18 certificate and are again basing your knowledge on youtube clips.
136 Tom_Toon // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:28 PM
i dont understand your point.
Berbatov was well known and was a whole lot more sucessul with Leverkusen than he will ever be with you sperms, he got to a cl final, you lot cant even dream of getting to the cl group stages.
Woodgate, well known.
Hutton, what has he proven yet.
Modric, well known and he hasnt even played in the pl yet.
Dos Santos, too weak for la liga, nuff said.
Gomes, a flapper, we already have 2 better goalies than him.
Bostock, you havent even got him yet.
Why mention eboue and fabregas, i dont even understand your point! was their one?!?!
137 Bob // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:28 PM
You rate Eboue?!?
Even the Arsenal fans hate him!
138 Tom_Toon // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:29 PM
hahah, ill give you that, just realise it was West Ham, but they had a fight with Sperms at the beginning, and guess what, spurs lose, yet again, 4-1 at your garden shed was it.
139 fernando // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:30 PM
normski you bad boy! i bet you are a right hard nut with newcastle tattoos all over your arms and covered in soverigns and thick gold chains. I bet you fought all the spurs main boys and kicked there ass. respect you bad mo fo.
I am being sarcastic you moron. Get a life.
140 normski1930z // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:31 PM
fernandildo why dont you just f**k off back to the yids site nobody on here gives a flying f**k what you have to say go back to selling crack to school kids av told you b4 we ran you all over london…. if you dont believe me i will e mail chubby henderson tomorro and ask him the crak….dont be a f**kin mug all ya life.
141 Robert from Serbia // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:35 PM
we are loosing the battle for Pablo Aimar !!!!!
hes off to Benfica !!!
Benfica is about to find an agreement with Real Zaragoza for the transfer of Pablo Aimar to the portuguese club.
142 fernando // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:36 PM
you were calling commoli a failure yet he has signed quality. I think i will trust ramos and commolis knowledge of players rather than your very limited knowledge.To be fair it wouldnt matter who he signed cos you would claim to have seen them played.
Christ we lose a fight in a film about west ham and you think it is a put down to me. Couldnt give a monkies.
Berba has been succesful. He has won one more trophy than your club has ,managed in the past 50 years!
143 Spyro // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:37 PM
why are people having full blown arguments with pathetic supporters of other clubs? give them one or two comments then just ignore them, they are sad.
look at this fernando fool, he is a spurs fan who has been on a newcastle united blog the best part of the day, embarrassing.
fernando, let me tell you this. I am a student at University and my room mate is a Spurs fan. I have just told him that one of his fellow spurs fans has been talking s**t on an nufc blog and he just laughed and said he doesn’t want to be associated with fools like you.
i quote, “what a prat, no proper spurs fan would be on a newcastle forum, probably an arsenal fan pretending to be a tottenham fan”
you see, even your own kind find you embarrassing, grow up you nob.
144 fernando // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:38 PM
Newcastle dont have a firm normski. I have read many hooligan books and never heard newcastle mentioned. Sunderland, yes. chubby henderson, is he the bloke who voiced kermit the frog?
145 Toonboy // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:39 PM
Well said spyro
146 Yahya Ahmad // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:39 PM
Just type in google ‘Fernando Amorebieta Newcastle’ then the links come up!
147 mozza // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:39 PM
ha ha normski get the cockney fecker told, i love spurs fans it gives me someone to laugh at as i think, every time we meet, we stuff you every time, no matter who you sign or who manages you, every time you are our whipping boys and as kk once said i just love it
148 Tom_Toon // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:40 PM
Why would i clam to have seen the play when i openly admit if i have never really seen them play, there has been a few in the last few days, Amorebieta, Gutierrez, never really seen them play.
Anyway, back to your street corner and life on knife crime you cockney smackhead.
149 normski1930z // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:41 PM
fernandildo and you wonder why all the other london lads f**kin hate you your a c**k just like all the other yids i have lots of friends from london and they all are chelsea west ham millwall lads and have zero respect for your f**kin mugs but they have lots ov respect for us …what does that say…
150 Ed Harrison // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:42 PM
51 times – I’ve tried to send you an email a few times explaining what I have done. Send me your real email ID and I’ll tell you what I’m objecting too – in case you didn’t know. Send it through the CONTACT form.
151 normski1930z // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:44 PM
dont have a firm and spurs do hahahahahahahahaahahahahahaahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahhahaahahahhahahaahahahhahaha
152 fernando // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:44 PM
You fans are almost as comical as your team. I am glad spurs fan ashley is just using your team as a way to make a quick buck.
153 Tom_Toon // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:46 PM
Right Fernando, ill continue this later, im going to have a wash, something you havent done in a long long time, afterall they dont have showers in th squaller you live in.
154 normski1930z // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:48 PM
by the way chubby henderson was one of the top boys in the headhunters and lives in thailand now and a very good pal of mine its pretty damn obvious to me your scarfer and you dont know what your talking about….
155 Ed Harrison // Jul 6, 2008 at 9:49 PM
My job is not to vet all comments – I haven’t got the time to spend on such a useless exercise – I will look at stopping having comments on this site and hope things will improve – but I do notice other sites – like nufc.com as just one example – don’t allow comments – maybe they are wiser than me – or probably already tried it out and realized it’s not worth all the hassle. I’m not having this site being something that people just come on to abuse.
