Zamblera and Xisco Out And Lovenkrands In?

August 31st, 2009 by Ed Harrison · 100 Comments

It was good to see Newcastle move today to complete as deal that takes Xisco to Racing Santandar for a season loan, and it was a good move for both the club and Xisco himself.

Peter Lovenkrands – set to sign?


There is now news that Skysports.com are reporting that our signing from Atalanta in January, 2008, Fabio Zamblera, looks set for a permanent move back to Italy with Roma.

Dennis Wise signed Zamblera but he’s one youngster who has never looked the part in England, and has never appeared for the first team.

Roma are expected to tie up a deal for the big striker before the transfer window closes on Tuesday.

And the Evening Chronicle are reporting that Xisco’s move will allow Newcastle to offer Lovenkrands a decent deal to come back to Newcastle.

Since Xisco was on around £50K/week it reduces the wage bill to bring in Lovenkrands, who we think will be a great signing for us – and will help us get back to the Premier League hopefully this season.

That’s if we can get him, but the chances have to be pretty good, And since peter can play on either wing and as a striker,  he will get a lot of games at Newcastle this season – and he’s a classy player.

If these moves all go through they are smart moves by Newcastle – so far so good – but we need more players in.

And if Coloccini plays tonight, that must signal he’s going nowhere, and that will be good too, because Fabricio never seems to get injured, which will be great this season, since we have a small squad, at least until January.

Comments welcome.

    Sky also say that Lovenkrands has turned us down twice so far. So – out go two more and we have no guarantee anybody is coming in. This is no longer wage cutting it is throat cutting!

  • 3 Toon_Factor // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:03 PM

    Yeah yeah same old same old

    My team for the night,

    ______________Harper______________

    Simpson___S.Taylor___Coloccini___Enrique

    Guthrie_____Smith_____Barton___R.Taylor

    __________Ranger_____Nolan_________

    Hughton will probably play the pensioner Butt though :(

  • 4 BlacknWhite Barmy // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:05 PM

    Ashley is taking the p155 and the only thing theat will get the moron out if the club is money. He is using the good start on the pitch to hold out for 100M – with the amount of injuries we are picking up and the slow sale / loan of fringe players means that we are sure of at least another season in this league.

    An empty stadium says it louder than some anti cockney song – but 40K cant be wrong can they?

  • 5 Ericles // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:06 PM

    Yep, Butt will play even though Toon Factor has picked a side that can win.

  • 6 Toonmania // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:06 PM

    Not according to Sky sports he looks set to sign for birmingham.

  • 7 will die for the toon army // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:09 PM

    I will believe this when I see it. I love Lovenkrands better than any striker we have. Sky is bull. We have never approached Loverboy. No one ever knows what happens at NUFC. Did anyone see Simpson, Guthrie, Jonas etc coming

  • 8 punk skunk... // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:10 PM

    Who says Xisco is on £50k a week?..

  • 9 punk skunk... // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:12 PM

    WDFTTA,
    bang on mate!..

    …sly sports are chancers & shit-stirrers!..

  • 10 will die for the toon army // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:12 PM

    The official website is too slow. They have jst announced Xisco’s move

  • 11 Tino 11 // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:13 PM

    “And if Coloccini plays tonight, that must signal he’s going nowhere, and that will be good too, because Fabricio never seems to get injured, which will be great this season, since we have a small squad, at least until January.”
    —————————————————————I’d disagree with that one Ed, normally that would be right as there is usually 1 club interested in the player and they ask the club not to play him as a deal is close, but deadline day is different as several clubs could come in at any point for the players, therefore i doubt the club would leave a player out as they may not have a clue who is willing to bid for them.

  • 12 will die for the toon army // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:14 PM

    Ryan toon has jst written that Ian Dowie is in the studio and he is all happy. I hated Dowie I dont know what AL saw in him

  • 13 Toon_Factor // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:14 PM

    punk skunk…

    The people that guess he’s on that much and start believing there own guess…! (if that makes sense)

  • 14 Ashley Hole // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:14 PM

    Xisco says it to his boyfriend

  • 15 punk skunk... // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:15 PM

    Will Die,
    Shearer & Dowie are massive marras mate!..

  • 16 will die for the toon army // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:15 PM

    Deadline day am so scared but that s why I support NUFC you are always have to be brave

  • 17 punk skunk... // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:16 PM

    TF,
    Aye, i get ya’, perfectly put mate!..
    :)

  • 18 Geordie-Gerrard7 // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:16 PM

    why did you hate dowie?? wtf did he do wrong, he is a good bloke

  • 19 will die for the toon army // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:17 PM

    Punk I wish he had gone for Daglish at that time MA was desperate for anything

  • 20 will die for the toon army // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:19 PM

    Its called bad luck bro he is good but has bad luck. He even failed when he had the top scorer

  • 21 punk skunk... // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:20 PM

    Will Die,
    Shearer & Dowie go all the way back to their southampton days man…That’s quite a few years under the bridge…

  • 22 Jeff D // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:21 PM

    Ed you said in your thread
    “If these moves all go through they are smart moves by Newcastle ”
    Thats the exact reason it wont happen. Unfortunatley weve got the two thickest pair of dipsticks running the Toon.
    ( Personally i wouldn’t trust them to run a bath)

  • 23 AngerOfTheNorth // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:21 PM

    Question is, what on earth does the fact that Dowie’s in the studio have to do with anything?

    He’s out of work, has experience of being one of the studio ex-footballer types and has a link to one of the clubs playing.

    Other than that, I see no relevance.

  • 24 will die for the toon army // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:22 PM

    AL loves Daglish. I think even more than the Late Sir Bobby. But the strange thing is that AL never talks abt KK

  • 25 Big Dave // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:28 PM

    will die for the toon army IMHO i dont think Al and KK are that close mate, If im right in thinking that KK wouldnt cut his hols short for his test game

  • 26 will die for the toon army // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:31 PM

    Guy off to the shower and prepare for the game

  • 27 valle // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:33 PM

    If Løvenkrands rejected us twice, he can go to brum and get relegated with them next season… And thats comming from a Dane.

  • 28 OHurley // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:37 PM

    Valle-

    hehe well said m8. I would love to see lovenkrands come back. I think he’d be gold in the CCC. I guess we’ll see. Fingers crossed, like

  • 29 toonsy // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:43 PM

    How are people feeling about tonight?

    I cant see colo handling Steve Howard tbh. and he is to slow for Fryatt.

  • 30 RedHeugh // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:44 PM

    The deal with the American Consortium has broken down. Sky Sports News will be reporting this very soon.

  • 31 legends1892 // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:48 PM

    Any1 watching SSN, development of takeover!!

    —————————————————————
    If they score first i think we’ll draw, if we score 1st i think we’ll hold on for a narrow win.

  • 33 Big Dave // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:49 PM

    Toonsy i am going for a 2-1 win mate, as for collo he is starting to look a bit better, I do know he has been shocking at times but i cant help thinking that we never give players time to settle, there was lots running jose enrique down last year but i think he is starting to show what he can do.

  • 34 Oba // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:51 PM

    As I said yesterday, we won’t sign anyone.

    1 more players gone out, and 0 will come in. I’m in the know.

  • 35 punk skunk... // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:51 PM

    Yanks supposedly in ‘direct talks’ with ashley & lambias, as we speak…They want Shearer as boss, apparently!..

  • 36 Oba // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:53 PM

    Coloccini won’t be playing, he is being sold tomorrow.

  • 37 Nick D // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:53 PM

    Colo never gets injured – now watch him do something tonight !!!

    Would be happy if we could just get rid of Butt and Geremi (we’ve done so much better without them.) Never thought I’d find myself wanting to keep Smith and Nolan !!

    Who started that Sturridge from Chelsea loan rumour??

  • 38 legends1892 // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:53 PM

    Yanks are talking to fat man

  • 39 toonsy // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:53 PM

    Anyone seen SSN just? Looks like Takeover News was right again!

  • 40 Big Dave // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:53 PM

    punk skunk ??? how do you know mate

  • 41 toonsy // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:54 PM

    “next 48 hours” is not quick enough though!

  • 42 toonsy // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:55 PM

    Big Dave – Divid Craig just been on SSN saying so, saying that they have flown in for direct talks as they felt Seymour Pierce werent working quick enough.

  • 43 will die for the toon army // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:57 PM

    Big Dave its on SSN

  • 44 Bigbadbob // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:59 PM

    We cant buy any players after 5pm tomorrow but can sign loan players, its a bit of a fiddle but so what, new owners, loans with a view to sign permanently,here we go and god bless the good old USA.

  • 45 will die for the toon army // Aug 31, 2009 at 6:59 PM

    MA has killed me I dont believe anything that I hear on News about NUFC

  • 46 Big Dave // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:00 PM

    Cheers lads what did it say was in 48 hrs ?

  • 47 Ericles // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:00 PM

    It will interesting to see if there are any new faces and big wallets in the directors box tonight. I just hope these yanks have got bigger shoulders than Ashley has got a gut. It may be Lovenkrands prefers Birmingham as well. Anyway – we keep an eye out for Shearer this evening tool. OK, that is it – now we go and get 3 points.

  • 48 will die for the toon army // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:01 PM

    Yanks Yanks I here they are worth 11.2b

  • 49 Oba // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:01 PM

    You guys actually believe this? Haha, they’ll say to Ashley they can’t or don’t want to make the 100 million he wants, and then be told to go home again.

    Ashley will be here for the season guys, get used to it.

  • 50 Ericles // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:01 PM

    Sorry – meant too not tool. Ashley still on my mind lads!

  • 51 toonsy // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:02 PM

    USA USA USA USA USA USA USA

    You get the drift! Unfortunately, following NUFC has zapped any sort of belief i have left so i wont believe it until its done.

    David Craig did say though they went to great trouble to contact him though, how hard can that have been ;)

  • 52 toonsy // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:03 PM

    Big Dave – They are trying to tie the deal within 48 hours.

  • 53 thud and blunder // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:04 PM

    no colo in tonights line up…..wonder if hes being sold???

  • 54 toonsy // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:05 PM

    What is the line up?

  • 55 batty // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:05 PM

    big dave i think these yanks will buy the toon m8

  • 56 punk skunk... // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:06 PM

    Not holdin’ me breath like, but the yanks would do for me!..
    …At least they understand sport!..

  • 57 thud and blunder // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:06 PM

    NUFC: Steve Harper, Danny Simpson, Jose Enrique, Steven Taylor, Ryan Taylor, Joey Barton, Geremi, Alan Smith (c), Kevin Nolan, Danny Guthrie, Nile Ranger
    Subs: Tim Krul, Tamas Kadar, Wesley Ngo Baheng, Kazenga LuaLua, Ben Tozer, Haris Vuckic, Ryan Donaldson

  • 58 tino97 // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:06 PM

    R.Taylor
    Simpson
    S.Taylor
    Enrique
    Geremi
    Barton
    Smith
    Guthrie
    Ranger
    Nolan

    The 5ft 9 danny simpson against the 6.3 Howard, oh dear! Looks like Colo is going which will be disastorus considering he’s never injured and theres probably no replacement coming in too!

  • 60 toonsy // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:06 PM

    Krancjar to Spurs
    Turner from Hull, to the unwashed. Both sh1thole places so no difference!

  • 61 thud and blunder // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:07 PM

    kids on the bench!!! just shows how small a squad weve got…

    come on the yanks!!

  • 62 Oba // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:07 PM

    thud and blunder

    He is being sold, I already said so.

    Don’t get your hopes up for tomorrow either ladies, there will be no signings, no takeover and players potentially leaving.

  • 63 will die for the toon army // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:08 PM

    Colo not in team
    ……………………Harper
    R.Taylor…….Simpson………S.Taylor…….Enrique
    Geremi………Smith……..Barton…………..Guthrie
    ………………..Nolan…………Ranger

  • 64 toonsy // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:08 PM

  • 68 punk skunk... // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:10 PM

    NUFC are aware of the us consortium, but NOt aware of any meetin’ & they haven’t proved funds…Lambias…

  • 69 will die for the toon army // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:10 PM

    am scared already our defence is young and short

  • 70 punk skunk... // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:11 PM

    Then again,
    it could be a smoke screen, to dampen speculation?..

  • 79 Tino 11 // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:13 PM

    The deals for Colo and Butt must be very close to completion for them to be left out tonight when we have injuries and other clubs may have come in tomorrow for them.

  • 80 Ericles // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:13 PM

    We have been asking for the youngsters to get a chance. Well looks like we have got our chance to see them. I think Hughton said something about cavalry – did not know he meant Custer’s 7th. No Colo, no Butt – off tomorrow?

  • 81 Fans Should Own The Club // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:13 PM

    Testing… testing. Just tried posting a list of links to watch the match but it hasn’t appeared. Here goes again. Good luck to all.

  • 84 Nick D // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:15 PM

    They went back to DC and he said that DL had been on the phone in the last few minutes and said they were aware of the consortium but he wasn’t aware of any meeting lined up with them and they hadn’t provided proof of funds yet.

    Colo is travelling for international duty so he will not be sold. But there seems to be no reason for Butt to be left out so I’d say that he’s on his way.

  • 99 Oba // Aug 31, 2009 at 7:30 PM

    To Wolfsburg?

    Are you the same Oba that made up that your ’source’ told you the club had been sold to attract new members on your site by any chance?
