There has been a lot of speculation written in the popular pres this week concerning Pablo Aimar.
 Pablo Aimar - on his way to Newcastle?
We issued a report on Pablo very early yesterday morning, saying that Newcastle were back in for Pablo, and that was after his agent had said he was about to sign for Benfica.
However, all the papers yesterday seemed to cite the agent’s comments he had in fact made earlier on Sunday, and said that Newcastle’s latest pursuit must therefore have failed.
But again the latest Newcastle approach was made after his agent Gustavo Mascardi told the Portuguese newspaper Record on Sunday:
“I’m awaiting at the moment a phone call from (Zaragoza owner) Agapito Iglesias telling me that Benfica’s money has arrived.â€
“As things stand, Aimar will be a player at the Portugese club.â€
And today, his agent, Gustavo Mascardi has spoken to Portugese newspaper O Jogo, and said:
“We have begun to speak to an English club - not Everton - and already we have offers for the club and player.”
We think that club is Newcastle United, and the club may just have put themselves into prime position for the player.
It certainly will not hurt, that new Argentine signing Jonas Gutierrez began training yesterday at Newcastle, and that we are today linked with 19 year-old Argentine full-back Emiliano Insua, from Liverpool.
We believe Newcastle United have made an offer for Aimar, and his agent is confirming it is a Premier club and not Everton, that have indeed made the offer.
Everton were the other club, along with Portsmouth, who were also interested in the player, but we believe Portsmouth have been put off by the £7M fee.
The agent of course is refusing to say which club the offer is from, but indications out of the Portuguese press today are that it is indeed Newcastle United.
Twenty-eight-year-old Aimar was expected to complete a move to Benfica this week, but we believe Newcastle made their move on Sunday evening, and they are trying to get the player tied up quickly.
Real Zaragoza president Eduardo Bandres said:
“There are offers from Portugal, England and Greece.“
“We won’t sell Aimar for anything less than favorable terms.”
Real Zaragoza president Eduardo Bandres is also insisting that no deal has been agreed with Benfica for Pablo Aimar.
It’s our belief that Newcastle are trying to get the deal sealed for Aimar right now, and while we could certainly be wrong about this, the events of the last 3 days are very consistent with that.
We certainly hope so.
Comments welcome.

Utter bollocks, using our club to drive up wage demands yet again
3 natedawg // Jul 15, 2008 at 14:47
i not sure bout this , but he is an extra body in the squad and has talent, i will trust in kk if he believes he can get him playing at his best then yup go for it
4 Tom // Jul 15, 2008 at 14:50
We will not be signing Aimar, 100%
5 AussieToon // Jul 15, 2008 at 14:50
great player love him , doubt he ll come edd this topic is just the same story over and over again
6 natedawg // Jul 15, 2008 at 14:52
i reckon we will get him
7 legends1892 // Jul 15, 2008 at 14:52
Lets get him in now, this guy is full of talent and can provide us with the spark we all want and need!
8 broon ale // Jul 15, 2008 at 14:53
there is nothing to suggest it is indeed newcastle in talks with aimar.
it simply says, “it is not evertonâ€. this means it could be anyone besides everton. like portsmouth for instance.
9 Ed Harrison // Jul 15, 2008 at 14:53
Aussie Toon - that’s true - but he’s going to end up somewhere - soon - but it’s a little tedious I agree.
10 broon ale // Jul 15, 2008 at 14:57
tom. how come?
11 neeraj // Jul 15, 2008 at 14:59
get this player
can be seen as our midfield commander……..
pls pls pls…………..
for 2yrs but pls
12 Martin // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:01
Cheers Ed - Even if it is just the same facts over and over again, people want to talk about this deal and it’s spilling over into other threads - Keep us updated please!
As for the deal itself - I’ve said a couple of time - IF we get him, I hope it’s on a pay-for-play commission style deal like Owen has apparently been offered…Makes perfect sense for the club and it would be a good gesture by Aimar implying that he ISN’T just here for one last pay-cheque and he does genuinely want to get his career going again!
13 toonarmy08 // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:03
i think we are the club in for him ,as his agent hasnt said who the club is ,and lets not forget our new transfer policy is to keep all negotiations hush hush until we have actually signed the player .Great player imo ,seen him many times ,hope we get him before nxt week as im off to the donny friendly !!be good to see him in toon shirt!
14 Smiler // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:04
very happy if we sign aimar 10x better than wot we have allready also sack joey barton and someone please take alan smith
15 Matt // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:04
I think Zaragoza are trying to get Benfica to make the offer they’re looking for.
16 Malaysian Toon // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:04
Well if he does come to Newcastle i just hope he’s still got the hunger to play. Am just too tired of big names coming and doing nowt.
Keegan does have the ability to re-ignite fagging careers though.
17 ronaldeano // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:04
Unlike Redknapp, KK says NOTHING about the players we are interested in, however, i hope they are right about this one. Im confident KK can get this lads form back.
Theres one Argintinian at the club already with another about to come on loan, if we get Aimar he will settle quicker and it will give them all a lift streight away.
Sign this lad up
18 broon ale // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:04
toonarmy08. you could argue that our new transfer policy doesnt include ageing hollywood signings such as pablo aimar?
19 Davies // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:05
Either sign him, or don’t sign him, just get it over and done with.
Is it just me, or does the transfer window get more farcical every year.
I used to want football back because I don’t like to be without it. Now I tend to want it back because I get sick of all the speculation and “hijacking”.
Not sure about Aimar anymore. Past his best but still talented some say. Others insist that Keegan can get the best out of him.
20 broon ale // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:06
matt. i think that is exactly what the situation is.
on with our lives i say!
21 Nick // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:06
Valencia must have the most talented squad in history to have got relegated. Their manager must be atrocious!
Aimar,
Silva,
Villa
D’Allesandro
Miguel
Milito
Ayala
Zigic
to name a few!
22 ronaldeano // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:07
Like the ad of Alicia Keys ed by the way!
23 broon ale // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:08
ronaldeano - when you say we have another argentinian on the way, does that mean your taking alan oliver as a reliable source? ha ha ha ha
24 broon ale // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:09
nick.. your getting badly mixed up.
aimar doesnt play for valencia..
valancia didnt go down either.
25 ronaldeano // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:09
@Broon, lol!
Is Anal Oliver writing for the Shields Gazette now like?
26 iain // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:11
nick valencia didnt go down, aimar plays for zaragoza, as does ayala, milito and d’alessenadro.
27 Davies // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:11
Everyone is getting badly mixed up. I’m sure that’s Leona Lewis. What’s going on???
28 ronaldeano // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:12
It was Zaragoza Nick, they went down
Valencia are just skint
29 dontoon // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:13
As if we can afford 7mill on one player lol.
30 ronaldeano // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:13
@Davis, look above the the words ‘leave a comment’ and enjoy
31 Michael // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:14
The club will be Portsmouth.
32 broon ale // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:14
deano. anal released the story first. the gazzette printed it also.
either way it doesnt matter.
i wouldnt assume insua is deffinately coming though,. on loan or permanent just coz the papers think so
33 daiv // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:14
Ed
Your headlines looks like a SUN one. You state that we have made an offer for the player and then in the small print state that an English club has made an offer and you think it may be NUFC. How does that equate with the headline.? Jackanory time? or do you have some inside info?
34 Toony Montana // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:15
Valencia didnt get relegated Nick - Zaragoza got relegated - Valencia did have a pretty poor season though.
35 WesToon // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:16
Pretty confident about this Lad,we need squad aswell as starting 11 players,dnt forget that Ladies & gents
36 ronaldeano // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:16
@Broon, your right there like.
But it just seems a bit of a coincidence that we have signed one argie, and we are strongly linked with another two?
37 Masa // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:17
Is any body else finding this the most frustrating pre season ever…its killing me the will they wont they player gossip…cant wait for opening day and the 31st of August when the window shuts!
38 Spyro // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:17
alicia keys?
39 Gunnar/Iceland // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:18
Won’t be joining us. Would not cry my eyes out if he won’t join us although he is a fine player.
40 WesToon // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:19
Just Leave Ed alone Lads,if you want to contact him,do it under CONTACT US section!! He does a bluddy good job on this site, i know 4 sure that,without this site i would be bored stiff!!
Gr8 job Ed!!
41 kris // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:20
Come on guys this player has undoubted quality and theres no way we will be paying 7mil more like 4 so whats the problem just as good if not better than deco,and we need atleast one flair player !! keegan the perfect man for aimar, anyhow aimar is a great pro and a hardworker on the field im a big valencia fan and have nothing but praise for the lad
42 Geordie Nick // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:20
dont know why everyone assumes tht because we have a new youth policy tht means EVERY single player we sign has to be young, our youth policy is in full swing with the players we’ve already signed and i think we’ll be looking for a few more experienced players to compliment them and aimar wud do exactly tht IMO and i cud certainly see KK being interested in aimar, i reckon we’ll sign him
43 broon ale // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:21
westoon. howay man, stop being over sensitive. what daiv said was hardly insulting!
we are all men here, i assume!

keep bleedin’, keep keep bleedin’
47 natedawg // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:22
i tink the reason we are all finding this transfer window frustrating is because we are not hearing anything cumin from the club , which i think is the right way to go regarding transfers but i would just like to hear from kk maybe talking a bit more about the players we have or have just purchased
48 Graham // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:22
Well I hope this one does come off for us. And with Gutierrez in, Insua linked and (hopefully Aimar a possibility - will we be changing our black stripe to sky blue to make the lads feel at home and growing a strange obsession for handling the ball in the box?
49 Spyro // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:22
Alicia Keys aint even on here
50 ronaldeano // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:24
@spyro, there is an ad above where you type in your comments. A realtone ad
51 Jon Goodwyn // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:24
I dont think you can make such a bold statement as ‘Newcastle United amek offer for Pablo Aimar’ when theres no real evidence we have at all - there are another 18 clubs that could of made an offer.
52 broon ale // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:25
Chennai Toon-
someone brought that up a while ago.
lets just say i am less than delighted to see him coming to the toon
53 Spyro // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:25
hmmm, deano, not being funny mate…but thats leona lewis, it even says her name on it
54 teentoon // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:26
we really need central midfielders as we only have geremi and guthrie with bartons future uncertain thats 2 cm when we play 4- 3 - 3
i would like aimar or d’ allesandro as they are both attacking playmakers with an eye for goal
something we have missed since robert
55 ronaldeano // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:27
@Spyro, not on my screen mate! Leona Lewis is also on but she is under Ed’s story. Nice bit of eye candy!
56 broon ale // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:27
i wouldn’t mind leona lewis in a skimpy little toon shirt!
57 broon ale // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:28
bring back the daily beauty! what happend to those!
58 ronaldeano // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:28
There is no gorilla on Alicia Keys ad!
59 Graham // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:29
broon ale - you not think that Leona Lewis has got the looks of a ladyboy? Mind you, they say ignorance is bliss…
60 abba // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:29
I thought spurs were after him. Where is fernando?
61 Graham // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:29
ronaldeano, no, the gorilla is Leona
62 ronaldeano // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:30
Leona Lewis eye, but Alicia Keys, PHWORR!!
63 Spyro // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:30
Graham i am with you on that, Leona Lewis and javine would be big hits in Thailand
64 abba // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:30
I thought it was lewis hamilton!
65 natedawg // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:30
getting a bit off topic are we lads lol
66 ronaldeano // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:31

67 Spyro // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:31
…ignore my comment Natedwag lol
68 natedawg // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:32
yeah i quickly changed it lol didnt want that idea spreading lol
69 abba // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:32
natedawg. is she one of those made to order blow up dolls?
70 clinta // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:32
As i’ve said on previous threads I’ve always been a fan of the player, but hope and think he won’t be coming to the toon any time soon.
I feel his too old, too expensive (both transfer fee and wages!) for what were looking for at the moment and has also not played alot later an been out of form when he has.
just can’t see him shining at newcastle next year, can only see him being another super star that lets us down.
71 natedawg // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:33
na but the blow up doll would be cheaper lol
72 Martin // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:33
I know a lass from Chester-le-street who’s the spit of Cheryl Tweedy - she’s training to be a primary school teacher…parents evening anyone?
73 ronaldeano // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:34
Wor lass is the spit of Alicia Keys, but she has blonde hair, even better!!!
74 micepie // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:34
DAVIES, we don’t know if it’s the club pflaffing about over Aimar or whether it’s just the press pflaffing about with stories and rumours. KK and the recruitment team might have been very decisive behind the scenes, one way or’t other, for all we know.
Uhmmmm…I’m thinking now about those 3 Liverpool players reportedly offered for Milner a few weeks ago. Of course we have now signed Guthrie but – though I like Milner – I might have been tempted to have taken L’pool’s offer at the time. Insua sounds very good and Hobbs is said to be a great prospect too.
There seem to be quite a few posts saying why go for a 19 year-old lb (if we do get Insua on loan) because of Kadar but Kadar is surely not our future lb. Tozer is, with Kadar cb.
Anyway, no harm in getting another loan player in either way.
75 natedawg // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:35
ok now cheryl tweedy in a toon shirt is realistic and worth a lot of money
76 broon ale // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:35
leonna is one ladyboy lookalike i could tolerate.
77 broon ale // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:36
sarah harding in a skimpy toon shirt with a pete tong on!!
thats what i am talking about
78 Graham // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:36
Martin, that would be worth having a kid and moving to Chester le Street just to be in the catchment area!
79 abba // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:36
Oh well. Another day and not a signing in sight. And no site of fernando who always puts a smile on my face.
80 Malaysian Toon // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:36
Don’t blame you for the re-cycled stories Ed, there’s nothing else going on out there. Well, nothing else the club is letting on anyway
81 Kash2 // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:36
GET AIMAR IN FOR A TRIAL!!!!
Apparently Bassong’s agent was told by KK that KK had been watching Bassong for a long time?! …………..Interesting!!!
82 ronaldeano // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:37
Il second that Broon!
83 Graham // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:37
Brron Ale - aye but just imagine waking up the next morning with your boxer shorts on back to front!

Shut it Abba/Fernando. You aint fooling anyone…
85 shearer4pm // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:39

86 ronaldeano // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:39
Thanks for the idea Broon, wor lass is getting a skimpy toon shirt as a present tomorrow!
87 Graham // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:39
Sonya Harding? I’m a married man for gods sake - I would settle for Sonya off Eastenders - with or without her trumpet!
88 broon ale // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:40
thing is with sarah harding. she strikes me as the kind of bird up for a bit of naughty business with a scumbag geordie like me!

dw bent will come good im sure
get your own blog
90 Hadrian // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:42
finnaly Keegan will have a playmaker to work with if this comes off .
after keegans had a few weeks to work with them .
i can see aimar having some of his best seasons under keegan .
cant wait for all those neat little triangles next season
still think kev should be allowed to pick one player he wants to go after , no matter the price , at least one please mike !!
91 broon ale // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:42
sonya from eastenders has a face like a egg! nee good that like!
92 natedawg // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:43
agree broon ale, she does look like a kinky bit of strumpet
93 abba // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:43
Shearer4pm- do you think newcastle have made any inspirational signings that will help them finish above boro? Alves, Digard, Downing are all good players. I reckon they will finish around 10th.
94 natedawg // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:44
na boro about 13 14 , apart from possibly alves they aint got no goals in them
95 broon ale // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:46
ha ha..abba!
you having a giraffe bonny lad!
96 abba // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:46
Aimar is a fairly good player who at worst will end up at a uefa cup team. I am sure spurs have some kids that kk could throw into the first team.
97 olly // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:46
aimar is a good player and i would love to sign him but if this is going to rag on for weeks then we should just forget it as we are desperate for some good creative midfielders!!
team for next season
Given
Beye Cuellar Faye Collocini
Gutierrez A imar Nzogbia
Owen Viduka Martins
98 Graham // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:47

99 MAG PIE // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:51
Aimar is not going to happen - doesn’t fit the NUFC policy. Buy young, buy cheap. Natalie Imbruglia picture would be nice.
100 seetow // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:52
abba.. seeing the spurs-newcastle matches over the last few seasons always puts a smile on my face
and a frown on yours.
101 Kash2 // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:52
Xabi Alonso’s deal to Juve has broken down and Juve signed Poulsen from Sevilla. Alonso has to leave for Barry to come in, so I wonder if a cheeky bid from us could tempt Liverpool?
What do you guys think of Alonso in our midfield?
Also Kadar is off to Norwich on loan!!!!!!!
102 broon ale // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:53
abba. can you remember the last time spurs beat newcastle? i have forgot. it was so long ago!
103 Kash2 // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:53
ED - Kadar is off to Norwich on Loan!
104 MAG PIE // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:54
Question - who benefits from the leak that an un-named Prem Lge club has bid for Aimar. Answer - Aimar, Zaragoza, Aimar’s Agent - not NUFC - it is NOT TRUE
105 gordond // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:54
Get a life abba we will still take 6 points off you next season and goals (AGAIN)
106 MAG PIE // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:54
Kash2 - if that’s true it now makes sense we are after Insua on loan
107 Kash2 // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:58
@MAG PIE - The plot seems to be unfolding. However, I don’t see the point of us signing him solely on loan. I think if he’s good, then we should have the option to buy.
It seems as though Suazo of Inter may be available. I think some webshite linked us to him a while back. Any thoughts? Any admirers?
108 abba // Jul 15, 2008 at 15:59
Just got an email from Ed Harrison who tells me that there were a lot of complaints about me last night. I assume this is down to tomtoon who encouraged everyone to get me banned. Can i just say whoever did so is pathetic and really needs to grow up and get a life! You all act the big man sat behind your computer screens but as soon as you hear somewthing you dont like you start crying to Ed.
Good luck for the season. It looks as though we will be mixing at different ends of the table considering you havent signed any one of worth. I will enjoy defending the carling cup, fighting for a champs league place, watching modric and revelling in your relegation scrap.
Right, i am off to play with the big boys!!!!
109 Hadrian // Jul 15, 2008 at 16:00
MAG PIE
aimar is cheap and doesnt want huge wages , fits our profile spot on .
i think our regimes gripe is paying a fortune for a player who we will only get a couple of years out of and cant get the money back if he flops, aimar maybe getting on , but he’s not commanding huge fee’s and wages . and if he flops we are not throwing 10’s of millions away ala luque
110 Kash2 // Jul 15, 2008 at 16:01
@Abba; Laters mate thanks for your contribution. I hope you enjoy fondling the “BIG” boys as you stated.
111 MAG PIE // Jul 15, 2008 at 16:01
Kash2 - would have agreed aboour signing Insua but maybe Scousers unwilling to sell. If we loan out Kadar then loaning in Insua starts to make SOME sense. No info on Suazo mate. Fernando - as a Spurs fan surley you should call yourself Money Money Money!
112 broon ale // Jul 15, 2008 at 16:02
bye abba! dont let the door hit you on the way out.

@ Hadrian: What was Aimars salary at Zaragoza?
114 broon ale // Jul 15, 2008 at 16:02
kash 2. where did you learn of kadar?
115 Hadrian // Jul 15, 2008 at 16:03
Abba , how the hell did u get so smug regarding the toon when you havent beat us in years ?
we could be having the worst seasons of our history (last year) and still wipe the floor with you 4-1 .
im looking forward to rubbing salt in modrics wounds after he realises he made the wrong call .
a few more screamers from oba at whl next season should do it , always count on oba to knock a highlight reel goal past you lot

Spurs fans should not be welcomed by this site unless they have something genuine to contribute, not just pent-up aggravation from a few defeats to us!
By the way, you know the way Doctor Who gets re-generated and you see the face of the new doctor appearing over the previous one? Maybe they could that with footballers, so the official Toon site would show Emre collapse in a heap and, say, his face transforming into Aimar’s?! Well, maybe not but it might work with managers.
Errr…okay, it’s quiet at work this morning….
130 Fernandoodoo // Jul 15, 2008 at 16:21
Hi Everyone, I’m a spurs supporter and I just want to tell you all that I am a closet Geordie, but I am also into Beastiality. But I really do love my little cocker spaniel, I want to marry her.
Anyway, back to football, we won the Carling cup and we’re amazing, so we’re now ranked with teams like Middlesbrough, Blackburn and lets not fofget Leicester too!!!
I hope Spurs can improve there record against Newcastle. I suppose it can’t get any worse. It’s funny how Newcastle have a London curse, but yet they always spank our ass’s! STRANGE!
YOU’RE FIRED!!!!

Aimar would do it more justice!
135 Matt // Jul 15, 2008 at 16:25
Anyone else heard the rumour about us signing Carlos Cuellar once Rangers have sorted a replacement out?
A few were talking about it at work this morning, not sure where it came from.
136 xfer // Jul 15, 2008 at 16:25
Not sure if he would adapt to the PL.
137 sirjasontoon // Jul 15, 2008 at 16:26
Thank god fernando has done one..what an irritating little twirp (notice no bad language Mr Harrison)
Hope we get Pablo and with Keegan and his back room staff working with him i am sure they will get him firing on all cylinders pretty quickly.
I have got a gut feeling we will sign a fair few new faces over the coming weeks and I am alot happier than I have in a while.
I don’t give two hoots about spurs,pompey,villa i am confidant whoever the recruitment team bring in they can do a job.

139 JOeT // Jul 15, 2008 at 16:28
undoubted quality and will show some of the other younger lads what can be done with a football. 5 yard passing is not the way forward, he may even allow a few to realise there potential! Geremi for example was regarded as having a very complete passing range prior to him signing for us.

142 dave toon // Jul 15, 2008 at 16:29
from the wiki website : )
At 3:53pm on Tuesday 15th July 2008, Aimar was transferred to Newcastle United from Real Zaragoza for a fee of £7.6M. He will wear squad number 8.
Later that day, at 4.19pm he was sold to Sunderland, although the deal is resting on his nationality being changed to Irish. Although he has previously stated he will never play for a football team such as sunderland.
At 4.21pm, he was seen staggering out of Gotham Town, after a couple of pitchers of White Russian. It is believed he went to Subway for a 12 inch steak and cheese, with south west sauce. Though sky sports news have yet to confirm this.

So where does he fit in presuming Keegan will stick with his 4-3-1-2 formation?
Owen’s free role behind the front 2 or Geremi’s position tucked in on the right of midfield?

Matt - the Cuellar link comes as Shittu was about to sign for Gers. Unfortunately Shittu refused the terms offered. I reckon Cuellar will come.
154 euanpolo // Jul 15, 2008 at 16:44
We need an AMC and Aimar fits that bill, solets sign him up! Lets hope the rumours are true about Insua as well.

kash2 how can u say that rangers got to the uefa cup finall mostly cos of him.
159 Kash2 // Jul 15, 2008 at 16:52
@Robertsa: Rangers got to the UEFA cup final because they’re an excellent team overall. Walter Smith and Alex Ferguson are both similar in styles and thinking. Rangers defend and attack as a unit.
Lets put it bluntly, Cuellers distribution isn’t great. If we are to ever play possession football, then we need at elast 1 CB who can play football on the deck. Cueller can’t!
160 Piers // Jul 15, 2008 at 17:01
Too much money for a 28 yr old……I hope the club is not us.

162 Gateshead Mag. // Jul 15, 2008 at 17:04
The quotes are interesting like. We’re one thats been credited with interest and the club thats offered isn’t Everton. Surely there’s a big shout Newcastle are in there.
Howay the lads.
Arda Turan is still the one we should be signing.
163 ObaFan2 // Jul 15, 2008 at 17:12
What’s the stadium top left o’ the banner?
We need news tbh not gossip or rumors. Give it time and we’ll have a good squad for the start of the season.
164 Kash2 // Jul 15, 2008 at 17:12
Lads, putting it simply, Manuel Rui Costa, one of the best playmakers to grace Serie A that Milan bought to replace Boban wanted Aimar to be the playmaker for Benfica.
If Rui thinks he’s good enough for Benfica, then I know he’s good enough for the mighty TOON!
165 jettson // Jul 15, 2008 at 17:15
would be a great signing if he can find the form of a few years ago, he was class, KK is the man to bring the best out of him, lets hope so. Defenders next must be a prioity, CB and LB (cover) Collocini anyone?????
Derdiyok as the CF then we are cooking with gas!!! howay the lads, lets make it back to where we belong!!
166 ObaFan2 // Jul 15, 2008 at 17:16
Agree Kash but there’s too much rumor about it, not like our other signings but we can blame the other club/player/agent for that i suppose.
167 steve // Jul 15, 2008 at 17:17
Too much money - you are joking aren’t ya
Think 7 millions cheap if KK can reinvigorate him - if we’re asking 3 million for Ameobi, 7’s about right - how much are inter paying for old man Lampard?
Although saying that we have no proof that toon have any interest - pure speculation and second guessing going on here.
168 Graham // Jul 15, 2008 at 17:19
Piers - how the hell is a supposed £7m bid too much for a 28 year old? Alex Ferguson has apparently bid £25-28m for a 27 year old Berbatov! Does this mean Berbatove will be worth £20m less this time next year??? Me thinks not!
Aimar has at least 5-6 years at the very top left in him. £7m for a decent player (albeit I dont know a great deal of him) is the going rate
169 Ross G // Jul 15, 2008 at 17:20
KADAR HAS JOINED NORWICH ON LOAN
170 HATE PRAWN SANDWICHES // Jul 15, 2008 at 17:21
We paid £6million and took a chance on smith!! now hes crap!! Sell him and ameobi and that will cover the costs!!
171 Obafan // Jul 15, 2008 at 17:23
I’ve got a good feeling about the Aimar stories. I think we will get him from under the nose of Benfica. If we get him, then we need our defence to be stronger.
Insua: don’t know that guy, so I don’t judge him
Cuellar: good CB (maybe his footballing skilmls are not the best, but his positioning and his air strength are very good)
Colloccini: very good CB
Shorey: would be a good attacking LB
a new RB as back up for Beye
Then get Derdyiok and our squad looks strong again.
Given / Harper
Beye / ???
Taylor / Cacapa / Faye / Collocini / Cuellar / Edgar
Enrique / Insua or Shorey (prefer Shorey)
Geremi / Milner / Gutierrez
Butt / Guthrie / Barton
Aimar / N’Zogbia / Barton
Duff / Gutierrez / N’Zogbia
Owen / Martins / Viduka / Derdyiok / Smith / Carroll
Just try to sell Smith and Ameobi and we will get a good season next year. Then next summer to build further.
I also think a few youngsters can sit on the bench during this season;
Kadar
LuaLua
Carroll
172 robertsa // Jul 15, 2008 at 17:25

185 GSfan // Jul 15, 2008 at 17:49
Kash2 - Yea I’d rate him, but wouldn’t say he’s especially amazing. Tom_Toon seemed to have rated him during the Euros though and it turns out a club like Everton wants him now. I wouldn’t have predicted he would draw such interest but then again he’s just 21-22 years old or so. He plays everywhere in defense and midfield too (except the left wings) but is a defensive type of player with some effective long range shots every once in a while.
I just don’t want him to be a scouser lol! Next thing we know he’ll be doing the Liverpool kiss while he plays for the national team!
186 Kash2 // Jul 15, 2008 at 17:53
@GSFan - Can he play LB?
187 GSfan // Jul 15, 2008 at 17:54
I’m afraid not
Just CB, RB, DM, CM and anywhere on the right wing.
188 Kash2 // Jul 15, 2008 at 17:55

Plus he could be back for RB as well as other positions!
