We wouldn’t be surprised if Danny Guthrie becomes Newcastle’s second transfer of the season.
 Danny Guthrie - soon to be Keegan’s second signing
The Newcastle official site is reporting the young Liverpool midfielder will be undergoing a medical, and if that goes well, we expect the youngster to sign on the dotted line, and become a Newcastle player.
The initial reaction of readers on our site seems to be one of slight disappointment at the news, but we think Danny will be a good signing, and he’s really one for the future.
He’s also English, in case FIFA President Sepp Blatter is successful in getting his 6 plus 5 scheme approved, where we’d need to start 6 English players, and be limited to fielding only 5 foreigners in any game.
The news being reported on several news sources this afternoon is that Danny is on Tynesdie right now, undergoing his medical with Newcastle United, and that wouldn’t surprise us.
Maybe the signing will be formally announced tomorrow, and we would be fine with the deal.
Guthrie will certainly not have any lack of confidence playing for Kevin Keegan, and he must be looking forward to playing for the ever positive manager, who can be such an inspiration to any youngster pulling on the famous black and white shirt of Newcastle.
We read some of Kevin’s comments he made last season, and we were even looking for our boots. 
As we indicated earlier today, we don’t think Danny is expected to walk straight into the first team, but here’s yet another top young player, who will now end up on Tyneside.
We often wonder if Mike Ashley was a fan of the Busby Babes of the late 1950s, because we seem to be headed in that direction, don’t we?
Comments welcome.

wall virginty
. 
hopefully we can get him tied up tonight though i think it will be announced tomorrow even if we do. not exactly gonna set the prem alight but he’s a decent squad player with the potential to be a first teamer and providing it’s around 2-2.5 mil then a good signing imo. lets have a few more of these cheap signings and then a couple of big ones if you’re willing to get your wallet out mike.
to suggest we’re gonna be playing football like the busby babes is perhaps a little optimistic ed
and when i say little i mean hugely
2 Patrick // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:08
I think he’s a good signing with this price.
…and before getting in Shearer, how much did we spend for building up the Entertainers?
3 natedawg // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:08
decent signing even as a back up, at the moment our squad is so thin we need 2 or 3 of these types of players maybe larrson being one of them and prob 5 or 6 slightly older more experienced players
4 Midjew // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:11
Sounds good to me.
For the price cant really go wrong as he is SO young, even if he dont make it into first team he will last a long time as a backup.
Great, lets ROLE on the new players more more MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5 Leo // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:12
he is a good footballer i feel sorry for him loosing his friday night to do a medical well i suppose he might have a night out in toon afterwards i am out so if i see him i will ask for a photo and get it posted on the site.
6 Leo // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:14
cooldj and the other people who parttake in the wall virginity thing, do you lads not think its a bit tasteless just im trying to get my little cuzin interested more in football and he sits and reads this sometime he asked me what wall virginity was so i had to tell him he is only 14 ffs
if your the first to post we can all see that and its not nessesary to tell everyone, they can see it haha

if he was a top youngster then liverpool would nt let him go
9 Ever seen a mackem in Milan? // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:20
good addition he may be better than we think. he could exceed expectations like Beye and Faye did.
10 Chris F // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:20
lol Leo, i’d be more worried that he’s 14 and doesn’t know what virginity is, frankly.
as for Guthrie, he’ll be a good squad player, and that’s what we need, because while he may not be the level of player we’d hoped to see, we’ll need 2 or 3 of these ‘low key’ signings just to fill out the subs bench, more than anything!
nah, but seriously, he looks a solid enough player, just have to wait and see how he develops.
11 Patrick // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:20
Dan, we all know Rafa likes Spainish-speaking lads except for Barry. It’s really easy for Rafa to let him go.

On LFC forums the majority of fans seem to be pretty upset Guthrie is leaving. KK knows a player. Lets wait and see…
16 faustino // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:26
Dont really see how this could be bad thing…. whats the worst that could happen?
With a squad our size there’s going to be a point this season when we just need anybody to play and it might as well be him. At least he put’s himself about a bit.
17 Hadrian // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:29
Hope this deal has nothing todo with milner going the other way like when first reported .
good signing if its nowt todo with milner , need a backbone of players like guthrie in your squad .
18 Tom_Toon // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:29
Please do not even mention 6+5 ed, its a farce and is never going to come into play.
19 Bob // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:29
Remember that there’s 7 sub spots next season.
And there’s no way we can fill them right now!
20 dick // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:30
I’m underwelmed by our signings so far, trying to be positive but getting a bit nerveous, its going to be a long hard season
21 Matthew // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:31
Barton getting the sack then IMO.
22 coffee // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:32
yes……great signing
i will support all signing from kk
as long as danny is below and 24 n match the policy….i think danny g is rotation only
hope third signing is defender…
pls….
23 Michael // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:32
This whole ‘if hes so good liverpool wouldnt let him go’ stuff is just bollocks to be honest. Youre basically saying that if youre not Gerrard, Mascherano or Alonso then youre a crap player. Alonsos being sold, does that make him bad? No, didnt think so. Give the lad a chance
24 Hadrian // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:33

25 DC // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:33
Liverpool let him go ‘cos they cannot guarentee him first team football, what he craves, and also Gerrard, Mascherano, Alonso, & Benayoun etc are competing for the same position as Guthrie so he wouldn’t be guarenteed it…
26 51times // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:36
dick - Because trophy signings like Kluivert worked out so well, didn’t they?
27 dougnufc // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:36
Almost all of the LFC fans are dissapointed, seems like a good deal to me
28 harrier // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:38
Dan - liverpool are skint trying to cough up 18 mill for Barry, they can’t really afford to hold onto a 5th CM
29 dougnufc // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:39
Here is a quote from a Liverpool fan
“He’s very average, yet Lucas is something special?
Please…
Guthrie has a touch and can spot a pass, he can also influence a game. He knows how to give the ball to a player then get it back and show for the centre halves to pass to… Unlike Lucas who floats through games he can also throw in a tackle. The only thing that really lets Guthrie down is his physical attributes.
You’ll see next season anyway when he’s doing well for Newcastle and we have to watch Lucas trying to be Fabregas and offering absolutely all in every game he plays again. “
30 Tom_Toon // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:44
doug that said id much rather have Lucas.
However for £2mil in todays market it is a great signing.
31 furrygiblets // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:45
You people that are seriously thinking this is a bad or “average” signing need to get a clue. Have you seen how thin our squad is?
Also all this “if he was so good why would Liverpool let him go” is just utter balls. If Benitez actually knew how to win the premiership he wouldn’t be wanting to replace Alonso with Barry!
32 toonfan1 // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:46
hadrian- lets do it m8. call the league NUFCBLOG. see if we can beat tom toon! has the players all been updated or is it still the same from last year?
33 Darryl // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:46
He was a fans favourite at bolton apparently. Must of done a few decent performances.
34 bennit3b // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:50
****LEO**** I lost my virginity when I was 14, where do you live Alaska? lol
Think he could be a decent squad player and maybe better for the future

36 Mavis Beacon // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:55
Methinks the boy is being “groomed” to replace Nicky Butt in the long run.
We still need a creative midfielder mind you.
37 Dannufc // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:57
Great signing imo. Didnt expect him to sign but a top youngster who is English. Now get inler.
38 Mama Said Knock You Out // Jul 11, 2008 at 18:59
I am not happy,
We are not a big club ya know we hide behind the best support thing blah blah and thats only becouse we are isolated geographicly compared to most other teams. At the end of the day with these kind of signing we are never guna make europe and are guna fall in to the mid table team we have become for many years to come.
I guess this means that signing Inler’s out the window now then??
And before you start i love Newcastle with all my heart and thats why i am ranting (hope to god i’m wrong)
39 furrygiblets // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:00
Hes nothing like Nicky Butt he’s more like a Paul Scholes. (No im not saying he is anywhere near as good as scholes before you ask)
40 Lacedaemonian // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:01
I would like to participate in the fantasy footy league.
41 GraemeR // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:03
No more than a squad player - both Man U and Liverpool have let him go. The LIverpool Press Secretary is alos quoted as saying, .”I personally believe Newcastle should be looking at someone a bit better than Guthrie, with all due respect. At Bolton he was good, but not amazing and that was in a side that was nearly relagated.”
Whilst I hope it is sour grapes I really fear for next season if this is the calibre of players we will be relying upon - and lets face it with a squad of 13 he will be playing from the start,

48 Patrick // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:09
I’d not think he’s a replacement of Nicky Butt… even in a long run. I think he is actually going to be the 2nd Rob Lee or something. Was Rob a star player? Till the day he left, no I never thought so; more importantly, he IS contributing to our success. Let’s forget what the Liverpool Secretary said with the sour grape.
Mind if I am thinking of the next David Batty is on the way? (He ain’t expensive but effective as well.)
11 star players doesn’t make a good team. Let’s support the team and KK to make the dream come true…. again!
49 sirjasontoon // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:09
PS Gutherie sucks and these transfers are taking the p.
Bolton reject If you can’t see how bad next season is going to be you should wake up..
Ed he is English big deal more importantly he is a reserve player at best.
50 51times // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:11
At least put some effort into it. A lot of people think trolling is easy to do and doesn’t require much effort, but they’re wrong. The master troll carefully structures his plan of attack, and usually should present himself as an untouchable intellectual.
sirjasontoon - Once again I ask, where did trophy signings and big names ever get us? We are better off without your type, you’re the kind of “fan” who boos their team. I hold nothing but contempt for you and your kind.

I’ll reserve judgment on this one and trust that KK knows what he’s doing.
55 Graham // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:18
Well at least this is more positives than the earlier post re Guthrie
From what I have seen and heard he was Boltons shining light in an otherwise dismal season last year and if he spoke spanish or called Gerrard he would be almost 1st team material at LFC.
For £2m or so he’s good for me
56 furrygiblets // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:18

Dear Ed,
A colleague at work, who is a Liverpool supporter, reckons we have signed a good young player. He wasn’t going to get a look in at Liverpool anyway.
Let’s see if his hunger and Keegan’s motivation can propel him into our first team.
Regards,
Neil
60 Patrick // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:23
Hadji, I would never think we missed anyone so far. Premier League is a good place that not all star players are gonna shine.
Take Shevchenko as an example. Can this former World player do anything for Chelski? No!! But he certainly did a lot of AC Milan.
Another example is Kluivert. Remember what he did for the other teams BUT us. He’s not suitable for PL and that’s all.
I can name many many players who got stuck in PL (can’t forget Guivarc’h forever).
It’s not so important if they are stars. It’s important if they can play well under KK. Money is only part of the problem in PL.
61 Graham // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:24
Sirjasontoon - what do you want? Ronaldinho, ronaldo,. kaka? tis you that needs to wake up to reality. Guthrie is an immediate backup and one maybe for the future.
ambition is one thing, stupidity (Kluivert, Marceliono, Boumsong, Robert, Luque etc etc etc etc.) is quite another! Get a grip bloke
62 Daniel Petersen // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:26

63 Patrick // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:28
Newcastle United is only for players who are ambitious and passionate to win. I doubt the money-eaters can bring us success.

66 simon P // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:32
We have a small 1st team squad lacking quality up front, in the middle and at the back.
Why are we signing a player who wasn’t good enough for Bolton ?
Buying young will NOT keep us in the Premiershp next season.
By all means buy players for the future, but we need players for the here-and-now or we will fall further behind.
67 Angryman the Angry fAN // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:32
@51 times,
nobody is asking for trophy signings, just decent signings, proven signings, signings that can turn games in our favour!!
Is Danny Guthrie gonna do that??
We are a bigger club than the likes of spuds, everton, west ham, portsmouth…yet they are all making better signings than us IMO!!!!
Anyway, “Once again I ask, where did trophy signings and big names ever get us? ” second in the premiership matey…2 seasons in a row!!!!
Mr A.Shearer
Mr Les Ferdinand
Mr Centre Partin
Batty, Albert, Peacock, Ginola, Gillespie….need i go on
All very very expensive players that made us the most entertaining team in the league!!
Dont tell me these were’nt trophy siginings in the day!!!
i want these types of signings back, i want to be challenging……….there is no crime in that!!
Realistically we wont get them currently, but i am sure that there are better, more proven players out there that we SHOULD be able to afford!!!
68 Paul R // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:33
United boss Kevin Keegan told nufc.co.uk: “I’m absolutely delighted that we’ve got Danny.
“He proved himself in the Premier League last season so we know he can play at that level.
“He’s at the right age and is a good signing for us.”
69 Alex // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:34
He is 21 and already has a season in the premiership behind him and comes cheap . Keegan must see something in him or he would not be on his way to us , all in all seems like he could be a good signing .Cant understand why there are so many people being so pessimistic about the lad lets give him a chance to shine .
70 The Entertainers // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:37
I personally think Guthrie is a very shrewd buy at 2million.
But i have to admit if we do not purchase some quality before the start of the season then i will be disappointed. Guthrie looks a great addition to the SQUAD. but we need quality in the FIRST TEAM now.
We had a very small squad last season and we’ve let go a number of players already with possibility of Shola going. This initially indicated to me we needed to buy at least half a dozen new players, with 3-4 for the first team. It may be Keegan has picked up these first two signings as they are good enough, but with the added bonus of not costing the earth.
The real signings may yet come as they often take longer to organise…heres hoping anyway!
71 Angryman the Angry fAN // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:38
Graham / 51 times
Honestly, why should we not be having a go at buying the best??
Spurs are……………….why are they better than us???
Portsmouth are having a go???
No one is asking for world footballer of the year!!
Players like VDV / Kompany / Gomes /Inler / Turan / arshevin are not world footballers of the year, but should have been well within our price range!!!
You dont catch fish without casting your rod, we are supposedly casting our rod, but i am recvkoning the bait used is S***!!!
72 Carr is shite // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:42

73 simon P // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:44
I’m afraid I agree with AngryMan.
Current squad lacks quality and depth…
If Ashley is unwilling to invest heavilly in the 1st team, then sell.
Everyone and his dog knows we need investment in players,
How many goals did we concede last season? How many defenders have we let go ? How many have we got in ?

77 The Entertainers // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:52
Have been reading the Liverpool fans blog and to be honest half the fans are not to bothered one way or the other at his sale, due to the quality in their first team.
The other half are disappointed as they believe he could well turn out to be a 4 million pound player in a year or two. They also believe he is at least at the same level as there own Lucas.
78 Graham // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:53
Angryman the Angry fAN - I would love to have those type of players at NUFC but we cannot just spend as we have in the past - that is why we have run up debts of £100m+ which Ashley has had to clear
Spurs and the like are not necesseraly better than us, but they dont have our past mistakes, our past debts. We have made continuous mistakes over the past 15 years which have cost us dearly.
I dream of the Modrics, the Turans and Arshavins etc. but we are nowhere near those at the minute. We are amongst the Boltons and Middlesbroughs - like it or not. Yes we have big crowds but big crowds dont always bring in trophys.
We need to build our squad to be able to compete in the top half of the prem league before we go and have an all out assault on the top 4
Success will come, but it wont come overnight this time - Keegan wont have us finishing 3rd in his 1st full season
Ambition is fine, but keep with reality at the same time

Prime example of a deluded fan^^^^^^Sure VDV will turn down Real, or Gomez will turn down Bayern, or Arshavin will turn down Barca, or Turan will turn down Juve….All to come to Newcastle. Turn on the lights mate.

angry man..
who says we arent trying? maybe those top class players are rejecting us coz we are a mid level club and dont have the desire to play for us and improve us.. what then? dont sign anyone ?
we’ve officially sign danny ..a canny player..nothing brilliant about him but nothing bad about him..and hes young soo hes likely to improve…and cheap! which is pretty amazing for an english player
82 Chris // Jul 11, 2008 at 19:56
I’ve just read 5 pages on a LFC Forum on Guthrie. I’d say about 90% of the fans thought he’d be a future star. That was before we were linked to him.
Now that he’s signed for us I reckon there’ll be a lot of disappointed Liverpool fans. It’s obvious Rafa is having to make up the funds for the Barry deal, so we’ve forced his arm.
I hope he makes a future England player. If not he’ll at least be a decent squad player.

Oh my days. Simon P says we lack depth and then he complains about us signing a player. The levels are extremely low.
Do you honestly think we’re only going to sign two players all summer? The transfer market has only been open for 11 days.
Just be patient. This is one of many excellent signings.
87 Ben K // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:00
I am also frustrated by those who say if he wasn’t good enough for Liverpool he isn’t a good buy. Liverpool have to sell to buy this summer, just like every club save Spuds and Citeh.
I’m also a firm believer that the best bench players are the up and comers, not established veterans who expect to play week in and week out.

Angryman your killing me. Bigger than everton and spurs? Are you sure?
All i have been hearing from people on this site is how kk will bring the good times back. Trust in kk and ma. Now he has made a signing you all jump on his back. You are never going to attract the star names so all you can do is try and spot them while they are young. Its the people like tom toon who have been getting fans hopes up by naming players like arshavin, arda, inler and vdv . I am not having a dig but you all need to realise your place in the premiership. All fans think there team is bigger than it is and should be playing in europe so you are not alone. I would at least wait till the ends of the transfer window before you all get on ma back.

‘not exactly gonna set the prem alight but he’s a decent squad player with the potential to be a first teamer and providing it’s around 2-2.5 mil then a good signing imo.’
With all due respect, how do you know you won’t set the prem alight?

92 Stephen // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:04
Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
We have signed a reserve footballer for i say about 3 million
could be worse we could have Alan Smith
Oh wait we got him tooo
you can see it now Smith and Guthrie in the middle of the park setting the game alight against the likes of gerrard and fabragas……
Newcastle are moving places that for sure
and i aint a spurs fan in desguise
but i think this is shi*
why dont we go for arteta or even mcgeady we would get him…
bring in the bin laden family and bomb the other teams sounds like a plan
93 cooldj // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:04
@ toonfan1
do we also get entered into the main competition too???
as in nufcblog league and everyone playing league??
94 Campo67 // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:05
yeah its official now. king kev sounds quite pleased. no fee mentioned.
95 Graham // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:07
Well flip my flop and call me ginger - I would never have thought it but I have just agreed with pretty much everything Fernando has said
But before you go getting a big head Nando, your beloved spurs only finished a couple of points ahead of us last season and I reckon that a couple of quid on Ramos to be 1st manager sacked wouldn’t be to risky IMO!
Great players dont always make great teams….. we should know, weve had plenty!
96 Mark // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:08
wow …im actually gonna say… fernando is right! =0 ..we might have a bigger fan base than everton and tottenham but they have a much better team than us atm (on paper) ..
also I dont know why im actually commenting and trying to offer a reasonable view on things haha ..deluded people wont listen to reason =/
97 shearer4pm // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:08
yayyyyy fernandos back!!
cmon lads lets sit tight and wait to see what this wise man has to say next, cus we all know that he knows everything about anything and has a far supierior footballing brain
i for one cant wait
:D 
98 harrier // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:09
Simon P you are looking VERY narrowly at last season. Let’s see, Allardyce was terrible for our team, players unmotivated and unfit. Keegan comes in, has trouble getting them into the shape we wanted, then turned them into a team that went 7 games undefeated. WHO have we lost out on yet? HOW many players that can help us are still out there? This is a slow transfer market. You are getting p**** off because we bought a good young cheap player. With 7 weeks left in the transfer market. While still severly lacking in numbers. HOW do you know that Ashley is unwilling to invest? What you say pure hersay because we have not signed an Arshavin or Modric yet. HOW do you know what we have to spend and what our targets our? WE cannot just kidnap a bunch of players, we have to enqiure about player’s availability, negotiate a fairprice, discuss terms, and then *maybe* the player will decide to come to us. Jesus, you guys sound like you can chuck a few million quid at somebody and they will sign on the dotted line.

To be fair we stopped playing after we won the cup.
101 Stephen // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:11
Fernando.
Wouldnt it be funny if spurs just went like leeds and went into financial meltdown i would laugh my ass off….
With the money ye are spending ye need to be playing champions league football soon and if that dont happen then ye are pretty much fuc*ed
I cant wait for that moment and to be honest its a possibility……
102 cooldj // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:11
HE HAS SIGNED-IT’S ON THE WEBSITE
103 Stephen // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:13
I hope moderic breaks his leg on his debut…..
that be sooo sad spending 16 million on a player and he is out for the season
104 51times // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:13
fernando - Tom_Toon has always said we were too late in going for arshavin, he never rated arda, has always said we couldn’t get vdv and inler is actually a player we could get, you thick Jew merchant banker.

—————————————————–
ok, he’s unlikely to set the prem alight because he’s solid but he’s still young and not excatly pacey or creative. he’s useful and will feature but if there is another cm signing to come (eg inler) he might not even start next season. i feel this is more of a long term signing with a view to having a solid, regular cm in a couple of seasons time. we will see
106 micepie // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:15
Fernando, by the way, you know that in spite of Spurs big spending Arsenal will still wipe the floor with you next season?
Anyway, that aside, Guthrie at least gives us more options. I’m also changing my mind about Barton and do think we should give him that last chance. If we could add another mf, preferably with more flare, and keep Barton we’ll have enough of a mf engine room. And give Lua Lua some chances too.

108 figsdad // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:16
ITS offical he has signed A 4 year deal its on
offical site..
another one in the bag more to follow.,..
109 fernando // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:16
stephen do you honestly think we would spend money we didnt have after what happened with leeds? I dont think there is a chairman in the league stupid enough to do that.
110 Ginkoh // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:19
I think this is Good signing for us, If not the best. I will happy to add young and talent in our squad.
Yes, every fan want Newcastle to sign big but how many time our big signing disappointed us. Do you remember Luque Owen Boumsong? and see our squad now. Our player who play good for us now are not big signing at all, N zogbia, Milner, Beye,Faye or even Sibieski on last 2 season.
So don’t disappoint too much if we don’t have big signing this summer. Even Ronaldinho sign for us. It doesn’t mean we are in top six automatically, Or who can garantee big signing player will be good for us ?
This season will show how good we are and set the next plan for the future. For me I don’t think we can finish in top6. 8-10 may be but I will very happy if we can go back to Europe.
111 fernando // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:19
You can always trust 51times to come out with the typical racist stereotype. Even if arsenal do wipe the floor with us at least you cant question the boards ambition and they will keep trying until we get where we want to be.
112 Stephen // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:20
Yes i do i think your chairman is convinced spending big money this summer on players means finally ye can break into that top 4.
If you dont do it then the pressure comes and ye even might miss out on top 6..
Newcastle have being there before we got to the champions league qualfiers and lost on penaltys we havent being the same since..
Spurs aint a big club and never wiil be
the only reason ye have such a good squad is because ye are pretty impressive buying players.
like buy carrick for 2 million then sell him for 17 million
when that business sense goes because ye cant always be perfect in the transfer market then ye start to be under pressure
example bent 17 million waste of money……..
113 Mama Said Knock You Out // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:22
Sorry but for the money i’ve had to fawk out for a season ticket i want a euro place and some flair doing it!
114 Evan // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:24
At this point, I still see us finishing 12th or worse…
115 51times // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:24
The Rothschild dynasty control the Bank of England, any educated person knows this.
116 JJ // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:25
If Guthrie had come from say Notts forrest, he would have probably been the best player in their squad - alla Jenas or Dyer for Ipswich.
But because he comes from a top four side he is challenging Gerrard and Alonso for a start.
Had we signed him from Notts everyone would be saying bargain at 2M and future star.
Well I beleive he is more likely to succeed because he has already had premier league experience. And compared to Geremi, Butt, Barton - he cant be any worse and can only improve so yes I welcome the signing and believe he will prove to be a star.
Better than Viana thats for sure.
Inler as next signing please, then an attacking midfielder, striker and defender as our three big signings.
Add back up for left back and we are sorted for a top 6 finish.
117 Ever seen a mackem in Milan? // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:25
2 signings up to now isnt bad. Only Chelsea (Bosingwa, Deco), Spurs (Modric, Gomes, Bostock, some keeper), Liverpool (Degen, Dossena, some other keeper) and us have bought players so we arent moving that slow in the transfer market.
118 fernando // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:25
@stephen- you are showing your lack of knowledge if you honestly think spurs are not a big club. i take it you are a teenager who has only ever known the prem and dont realise that football was being played before sky bought it
119 Big Dave // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:26

120 Andy1 // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:26
Stephen - You criticise Newcastle for picking up a bargain like Guthrie and then you take the piss out of Spurs for spending big. I know you want to argue with Fernando but you’re making yourself look a bit stupid.
121 Geoffb1830 // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:27
nufc.co.uk and skysports say”Guthrie completes Toon move” he’s signed and is our second signing
122 cooldj // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:28
Inler as next signing please, then an attacking midfielder, striker and defender as our three big signings.
Add back up for left back and we are sorted for a top 6 finish.
@ JJ that would be sweet and wouldn’t be too pricey if we could get the likes of shorey, derdiok and inler for around 15mil and then have another 12-15mil for a cb and AM
123 Mama Said Knock You Out // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:28
@ JJ
How can you say Nicky Butt is bad, he was one of our very best player’s last season, easily!
124 Big Dave // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:29
Oh i have just checked the offical and he has just signed a 4yr contract ye ha http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1342903,00.html
125 ronaldeano // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:29
spurs are not as big as NUFC
126 Stephen // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:30
Andy—-He aint a bargain i dont call players bargain if there going to be as bad as Alan Smith bargains are player like inler for 5 million
there baragains…….
Guthrie is hull city class not newcastle lets be fair
and fernando your team is just having a good time at the moment..
Football changes quickly
i think you forget when laurent robert scored 2 crackers against you and we won 4-0 and we finished 3rd that season..
we had a great young team then jenas bellamy etc…….
great memorys from sir bobby….
Spurs will never crack the top 4 and we will go into financial melt down you just watch
127 ronaldeano // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:32
Well said Stephen. Spurs are a big club but will NEVER be as big as NUFC. And Fernando knows it
128 fernando // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:32
@ronaldeano- sigh. I think our clubs actions in the transfer market speak louder than words. I cant be bothered to argue about trophies so will just suggest you look at our teams wiki pages then make an informed decision.
129 harrier // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:34
“if there going to be as bad as Alan Smith” - prove it.

131 ronaldeano // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:35
@Fernando, Spurs will NEVER be bigger or better than the great Newcastle united!
They win a trophy and qualify for the uefa cup. So what!
The likes of Fernando and his other sad mates that waste their time on a ‘bigger’ clubs blog site, seem to think that they are going to win the PL, uefa cup blah blah…. When in fact, their non-English speaking manager sent his team out against the toon last year and was put firmly in his place by KK and the lads! We are the ones who should be in Europe next year, not the lucky spuds that cought Chelsea on an ‘off day’!!! And they KNOW IT!!!!
132 Stephen // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:36
Newcastle have beaten spurs 4-1 and 3-2 away from home
and beaten ye 3 times in a row at home 3-1
newcastle in them 5 matches
newcastle 15 points spurs 0
newcastle 16 goals spurs 6 goals
says it all really i think
133 fernando // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:36
@stephen- How do you know he isnt a bargain? he could turn out to be a legend for your club. I am sure there were some illinformed blackburn fans who thought bentley wasnt good enough for them. You are just getting your supporters hopes down before a ball has been kicked.
134 Yahya Ahmad // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:37
Well if Keegan signs this player then I know he is good and I trust Kevin Keegan!
135 Stephen // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:38
Fernando did you enjoy watching newcastle play u the last 5 times???
If i was you i would advise you to shut the fuc* up
136 shearer4pm // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:39
fernando - if newcastle arnt a bigger club than spurs right, y do u spend all your time on our blog??? says sumting dont it??
i honestly feel that the clubs are the same size and stature, newcastle have had a good period spurs are having theres now, (finishing 11th) JOKES i can admit that spurs are a good team, as are everton, you cant argue that, but jus because one team is in a slump and one team is flying high doesnt possibly effect the size of the club, its a pointless argument one that no one is ever goin to win so can we PLEASE talk about football again, cus i know ive given some too, but i am actually BORED NOW
137 harrier // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:40
I trust Keegan to. Sod stephen - he has watched as much as Guthrie as Inler, but Inler is a steal and Guthrie isn’t. If he is that dumb I will leave him be.
138 Stephen // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:40
As an irishman
I know who spurs key man is and thats robbie keane.
If he goes to liverpool it will be a bitter blow.
He is the key to everything about spurs he links up extremly well with Berbatov and links up with the midfield
very under rated.
139 furrygiblets // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:41
And some of you people wonder why Ed shuts down the comment section and i’m not just talking about the non NUFC fans
140 JJ // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:41
Not saying Butt is bad, but for 2Mil this guy could do as good a job in a different role.
What Im saying is if we gona add depth, I would rather have young developing players like Guthrie than Butt (33), Geremi (32) as back up because that would be going backwards.
141 Craig // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:42
The negative reaction to this signing is pathetic. The lad has cost us in between 2-3 million. He’s 20 years old, can only get better and is English!
I was speaking to a Liverpool fan who I work with and he reckons we’ve got a great deal. Let’s not forget this was the lad tipped as the next Gerrard two seasons ago. Whenever I’ve seen him play last season for Bolton he has been their main attacking outlet. He has pace, flair, can pick out a pass and is verstaile in being able to play across the middle of midfield.
Ultimatley, he could walk into our current paper thin squad. This is a great coup. Let’s hope more signings follow.
King Kev doesn’t need big name players. He can motivate anything that walks!!!
142 cromscotty // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:42
Joke signing that states ashleys ambition…..2.5 on spiderman and 2-3 mill on this bag of sh**e its a joke……im not happy……..if we improved the first 11 then players like butt would be the squad players………im really down about this……i hope we make a quality signing next…else i fear the worst.
143 shearer4pm // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:43
stephen - this is a newcastle blog mate
144 JJ // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:43
@ Fernando,
Outside of England, us Newcastle fans have the same arguement all the time.
“which club is bigger - Spurs or Newcastle”
But eventually the Spurs fan, he gives up, because he cant argue with all the newcastle fans at the same time. : )
145 Michael // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:43
I hate this whole “undisclosed fee” rubbish. Why can’t we know how much our club have spent on a player?
When it’s undisclosed you always have the doubt that we may have paid over the odds for a squad player.
146 harrier // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:43
Aye lets ignore the negative posts Craigg and enjoy the midfield goals we hopefully will get when he plays. I hear he has a good shot from distance and that is something we have been desperately needing.
147 ali // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:45
My information is that influential Liverpool players are bewildered at the sale of Guthrie whom they rate really highly. Perhaps because he’s not Spanish? A bit light strength-wise but scope to grow. Potentially a very, very, good signing.
Speak as you find …and my lad and I thought he was top-class last season.
148 Stephen // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:45
He could be a good future star dont know alot bout him all i know is he has played in the liverpool reserves for like a 100 years
but lets be realistic he aint first team material now
so we got butt in the middle of the park thats it
barton is in jail
do you think butt is bionic man
and can run the show on his own
i extremly doubt it ha
149 fernando // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:45
I didnt start the big club debate. tottenhams trophies speak for themselves. I normally enjoy a bit of good banter on here but it looks like it is the kids on here tonight who are to young to go out boozing(shearer,51times and stephen) who bring nothing to this blog. I have a broken leg before anyone asks why i am not out on the piss.
Yes you beat us the last 5 times and yes i did enjoy martins goal and celebrations but i enjoyed the cup final even more. Night kiddy winks.
150 figsdad // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:47
As long it keeps smith out the team i dont mind who comes in….
151 micepie // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:47
For the complainers, look at the team we were playing when we showed that impressive form and togetherness for 7 or 8 games late last season - only Barton is missing at the moment. And we’re gradually adding more options so hang fire and wait and see what happens…
152 ronaldeano // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:47
@Fernando, dont forget to brush your teeth and get mammy to read you a bedtime story!
153 harrier // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:47
Stephen, why is he not first team material now??? He was starting against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Cup last season, something our players weren’t doing.
154 51times // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:49

Both SSN n .co.uk…
157 Stephen // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:52
Fernando……
But you aint a newcastle fan so why come on here you must think of newcastle highly
and for the toon fans
yes i am a toon fan
but one thing what newcastle fans always do is be over optimistic……….
i have being there you got to be realistic about things.
I remember when we beat bolton 3-1 on the opening game of the season i thought top 6 defo
after the derby defeat my world came down……..
We are just a mid table team and will be for years……
We got to splash the cash
we just aint good enough…..
top 10 is the best we can finish….
I remember toon fans booing when we finished 5th in the table under sir bobby and they left for home not even gave a clap to the players
If we gave more respect to sir bobby then maybe we wouldnt be in this mess atall
The board sacked him but the fans pushed them to sack him
shame on them fans who though sacking sir bobby was the right thing to do
158 JJ // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:52
Fernando, i would far rather have had the history Newcastle has had in the past 15 years than Tottenham.
I wouldnt swap beating Barca 3-2 with a Tino hatrick, beating Feyenord in an awesome comeback (becoming the first team in history to qualify for the next round of Champions League after losing first three games) beating Juventus.
And signing Shearer. Playing the best football.
Only in the last two years had Spurs had slightly better seasons than us.
Newcastle has a far greater World Wide support base as well.
Spurs came here (South Africa) last year this time and I got to meet the players at a work function. - Jenas is a tosser by the way, Keane is awesome bloke and player.
My point is the expectations were the same then as they are now. Yet they failed. And will probably do so again this year.
159 DC // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:54

160 domtoon // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:54
My goodness I’ve not noticed before but there are some funny, bitter, upset characters on here come the evening
We’ve just made a good signing. Our second, good signing.
Look guys, Guthrie is what he is:
-A hungry, 21 year old footballer who’s scrapped his way up from man u, to liverpool reserves, to southampton, to bolton, and now to the Toon;
-He’s made himself an increasingly frequent number of senior appearances and by all accounts he’s a good player whom Liverpool and Bolton fans are sad to see leave;
-He is reported to have said he wanted to come to the Toon all along;
-He’s apparantly quick, hardworking, box-to-box, and a developing eye for good passes, and also has a strong determined character (I read somewhere he was bossing Nolan in a Bolton game, for good or bad I don’t know, but point is he’s not shy);
-He will only want to get better and improve and become a fan favourite (I should hope…);
All the above and this is how some of you treat him? Are you supporters blind or what? If he had been the 5th or 6th signing of the transfer period, and all had been of his type, then yeah, fair doos, moan, because we should be aiming higher than that, but just because he is our second signing, pulled in on ‘the cheap’, does not by any means mean he deserves the verbal drubbing treatment being dished out right here and now.
How horrible would it be to be viewed like this, if he came on these boards? We should be excited for him and be giving him a chance, because as I said, he is what he is.
So, some of you, please don’t get so riled up over this signing, and give it a bit more time. We didn’t see this signing coming, nor did we see the Gutierrez signing coming. What makes you think we know what KK, MA, and the recruitment team have in stock for us?
Sorry but the negativity on this board really does get to me sometimes. It’s totally unjustified in the circumstances.
161 matt mered // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:56
nice signing i think, young and hungry and a good squad player just wha we need
162 sirjasontoon // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:56
You boys need to wake up..this is a debate board..if i am not happy with the transfers or lack of surely this is an adult place where adults can make adult and unbiased opinions.
51 times joker you have already been banned once and cool dj you are not cool and you are certainly not a dj.
Guthrie is not a good signing he is a typical piece of cheap crap from a bargain basement that even bolton did not want..wise up.
163 JJ // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:57
@ Stephen
Sacking Sir Bobby was the right thing to do - he had lost the dressing room, was in ailing health and the club was again on the decline after his tremendous succuss.
However, our biggest mistake was appointing that tosser Graeme Soun-ass as manager.
He put us back 10 years and we havnt had another good manager till now.
So we have to rebuild, from theground to the trianing to the transfer funds.
Thats why managers sign 4 year deals, not 8 months.
The good ones need time, and the supporters need to show patience!!!
164 bin laden fc // Jul 11, 2008 at 20:57
I for one don’t really care too much about “other fans” coming on here and having an opinion. It’s a testament to how good Ed’s blog actually is.
As for Guthrie, we have to believe in the players KK is signing - so i think he’s a good signing!!!
165 JJ // Jul 11, 2008 at 21:00
sirjasontoon, Guthrie is a future signing and only 21, he is better than anyone in our youth team, inlcuding Carrol, and Lua Lua so for 2M, he is not crap he is a useful addition.
Quality signings have far more complications in the contracts and it will take longer to agree terms.
So again, patience AND, you wise up!
166 najikhin // Jul 11, 2008 at 21:00
go away fernando.. seeing your name is such an eyesore for me..
167 Stephen // Jul 11, 2008 at 21:01
I think Newcastle fans are extremly selfish and are the main reason we aint a sucess
Example Big Sam
That manager is an extremly talented manager not world class but is better than most managers in the league..
2 Things i want to add to this before people go on about boring football..
1.He lost solano and Dyer his only real 2 attacking players because they wanted the life in London and didnt have time to replace them so he had to get on with the players that were available.
2.He wanted to bring in Heinz and Distin as his first choice defenders but they wanted big wages and the BOARD rejected the idea of that and he had to get cheap players in rozenhal and cacapa didnt work out but beye was class and Faye.
In the january sales he would of bought arshavin for 7 million and dirra for 5.5 million are you trying to tell me we wouldnt be a good side with these players
In every game Big Sam managed he had to change one of his defenders because they were injured he never got a settled defence neither there or midfield or attack as viduka was out alot……….
Newcastle fans pushed him
in my opinion big sam is a better manager than kevin keegan
just my opinion
168 fernando // Jul 11, 2008 at 21:01
I bet 51times has gone off to watch big brother!
169 JJ // Jul 11, 2008 at 21:01
And again… Bolton DID want him but he turned them down to come here.

I was banned for speaking the truth, and the fact remains I am the easy scapegoat because of it. Hell, fernando comes on here causing trouble and I was the one punished for it. I have to hand it to you fernando, you’re very good.

JJ - I think Lualua is our best youth prospect, Guthrie is 21, can hrdly be called a youth prospect, a prospect but he aint that young.
Lualua has only just turned 17.

You think sacking sir bobby was a good thing
Ur an idiot
he got us 4th 3rd and 5th
everyone had respect for him the likes of robert said all the team loved him and would sit down for dinner and wait til he comes in first..
It was just the likes of dyer that ruined things because he wanted the london life..
Sir bobby was the best thing ever to happen to this club

Ummm I’ve read several times that Bolton wanted to keep him. What are you on about?
177 Tom_Toon // Jul 11, 2008 at 21:04
robertsa - Zigic in AM? Konchesky?????!?!?
178 najikhin // Jul 11, 2008 at 21:04
the bottom line is guthrie has already signed for us.. whether we like it or not, we have to support him, so that he could become a better player for NEWCASTLE UNITED!!
its all about newcastle rite guys??

Stephen - you obviously weren’t a season ticket holder last season to come out with a comment like that.

For those writing off Guthrie as a poor signing before he’s even kicked a ball in anger for NUFC, remember the general apathy to the signing of a one Craig Bellamy and remind yourselves how that signing panned out
