News today in the local Newcastle sports media that the Magpies are after Watford striker Danny Graham.
Danny Graham - would prefer to join Newcastle
This is not the first time Newcastle have been linked with the player who was born in Gateshead, and scored 27 goals in 49 appearances for Watford last season.
Of course that was in the Championship and the Premier League is so much higher in class, and more difficult to score goals in than England’s second division.
So our first and most important question is whether this lad is good enough to play for Newcastle?
Of course Danny is a Newcastle fan – what else – and he would love to play for his home-town team, but newly promoted QPR are also in for the player and may be ahead of Newcastle in their quest for the 6’1″ striker.
QPR and West Brom have already had £2.5M bids for the 25-year-old turned down by Watford, and the news is that QPR are ready to pay Graham around £24K/week in wages – which is close to £1M/year..
Apparently Newcatsle are not willing to match those wages, and therefore QPR are in prime position to sign the Geordie striker.
A source close to the player said:
“Newcastle is Danny’s preferred choice as he is a fan and if they can get a bit closer in wages then he would rather go there than QPR.”
“His agent is delaying giving QPR an answer until Newcastle come back to them.”
If Danny agrees to come to Newcastle for less wages than he could get at QPR, that would be a good sign, but there have to be questions about just how good he would be in the Premier League.
Danny joined Middlesbrough back in 2003, and was sent out on loan to a number of clubs before signing on at Carlisle United in 2007.
He joined Watford two years later on a free transfer, and in 98 games for Watford he has 37 goals.
If Newcastle did sign the local lad, they would be taking a risk, as they took with James Perch, another player bought from a Championship club.
What do you think?
Comments welcome.

Newcastle arnt willing to match the 24k a week wage that QPR are offering.

Regarding Paeda cryptic clues on the midfielder we signed he said he shouldn’t ‘be’ playing in bottom 4.
That rules our cabanye because they’ve just won the league!
Unless he meant someone else!
5 NottsGeordie // May 28, 2011 at 1:39 PM
I wouldnt want to give him more than 15k a week so if we can get him for 3 million on 15k a week i would be happy. Better than Ameobi, Ranger and Lovenkrands and maybe Best. If we do get him in we would still have to get two strikers though, maybe Ba and Gamiero.
6 Toon1978 // May 28, 2011 at 1:39 PM
ohhh dear, from Cabaye to D.Graham. What a come down.We are looking to improve not go backwards. If we are to go forward then Sturridge is a perfect choice. D.Graham… don’t think so somehow. Fan’s will be ecstatic with this hehe.
7 xXl NUFC lXx // May 28, 2011 at 1:39 PM
Not good enough
8 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 1:41 PM
Him or Long, Ba on a free and then a big name striker
Insomnia or Gervinho and Larrson, Cabbage and that Swansea lad
M’Burger
8 new faces?
9 geordiejohn42 // May 28, 2011 at 1:41 PM
Danny is Geordie and thats a good sign the problem is that idiot of an Owner who wouldn’t match the 24k on a striker if we can’t compete with QPR withe the greatest of respect to them they are no where near big enough as us he’s young the right profile and also scores goals eventho its in the ‘fizzy pop league’
MA has NO ambition, NO drive and No passion for the club all he’s interested in is MONEY MONEY MONEY and nowt else I’m afraid and I really do hope JB hit that buffoon (sorry for being honest lads/lasses) so he doesn’t get nowt next season…HWTL!!

Fella that just sounds like league snobbery. He wont be our lead striker
11 shearermania // May 28, 2011 at 1:45 PM
will peopple stop talking about sturridge…………..
its ridiculous…..no way he will come to us….
also the way he taunted us when he scored at st james….
get real…sturridge is champions league club material., he will get his chance at chelsea
12 Toon1978 // May 28, 2011 at 1:45 PM
WWJBD
I am far from snobby mate far from it i just don’t think he will cut it in the EPL.He struggled at Boro and he will struggle here. Honestly, he ain’t any better then what we already have.
13 Toon1978 // May 28, 2011 at 1:47 PM
shearermania
Just like HBA mate. CL material.Sturridge will struggle to get in the Chelsea line up and he would struggle at quite a few top clubs also. NUFC would be a quality move for him.
14 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 1:48 PM
Toon1978
Good haha because I hate league snobbery there are some real gems in the (former) fizzy pop league.
And in all fairness to him he is young and has scored goals for fun in a pretty low level squad/team….far more goals than any of our lads managed in the same league
15 shearermania // May 28, 2011 at 1:48 PM
also we wont be signing 2-3 strikers before we can get rid of a few we got…
not sure graham is that much better than what we got
16 jimmymac // May 28, 2011 at 1:50 PM
Ed, I’m a big fan, but why do you compare any Championship player to Perch, that is Lazy writing IMO.
You could just as easily compare them to Championship successes Mike Williamson, Lescott, Jagielka, Tim Cahill, Charlie Adam…..those who have managed to more than step up from Championship Level. Not every signing from Lower leagues is going to be a Perch. I would be very happy to see us sign any of: Shane Long, Danny Graham, Darren Pratley, Ashley Williams and many more.
17 Geordiedoonsooth // May 28, 2011 at 1:51 PM
Afraid he aint good enough for us but wouldn’t be suprised if he did sign hope not though
18 davybtoon // May 28, 2011 at 1:51 PM
from what i cud gather b4 with that gamerio piece was we hav offered 12m euros n its been accepted, but valencia hav only offered 7m euros and its in installments which they havent accepted
so as it stands were in pole position
19 BonVoyageBenny // May 28, 2011 at 1:51 PM
Of course he’d be keen to sign for Newcastle, thank you captain obvious. I’m sure 90% of people reading this blog would like to sign for Newcastle. In fact, Ashley, sign me up. I’m currently unattached, younger than Graham, much younger than him, and would take lower wages…
20 shearermania // May 28, 2011 at 1:52 PM
forget sturridge…
pretty sure spurs and arsenal are preferable to him than us….
i would love it though – just cant see it happening…

26 Toon1978 // May 28, 2011 at 1:57 PM

Have some faith mate lol although i have seen nothing to suggest that we are even interested in him. The problem is IF Sturridge went to Arsenal or Spurs he would be in a similar predicament to what he would be at Chelsea.
WWJBD
Yes there is some gems in the CC i agree unfortunately Graham isn’t one of them lol. However if we do sign him then fair enough i would support the kid as it seem like a lad that wants to play for us rather then just coming for the money or because his options are limited.
27 davybtoon // May 28, 2011 at 1:58 PM
nottsgeordie – so were gonna pay 8m for mbengue n play ferguson left back dont think so
jus think if we get 12mil for jose it will pay for mbengue n cabyaye without even touching the carroll money
28 Toon1978 // May 28, 2011 at 1:59 PM
WWJBD
HAHAHA yeah how the hell can he miss out HBA???? He has the kid on his picture aswell hehehehehehe. I’m sure it was just a slip of mind
29 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 2:02 PM
Toon1978
You might be right I have only seen him play a few times but you dont get to be the leagues top goalscorer in a midtable team without some style do you? Must admit Id prefer we got Long.
Though I do think Graham could do a job for us if only in a cup run him, Shola, Best and Ba could be our strikers in a cups
30 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 2:03 PM
haha it did make me smile but a lot of people miss our HBA out…probably because they get excited with new signings and forget hes already ours
31 Hoppefot79 // May 28, 2011 at 2:04 PM
I reallly don’t understand why some people can actually claim that this player isn’t good enough for NUFC, just because he is a “Championship striker” atm. Can’t recall Carroll scored that many goals for us last year, or before that. At least Graham has shown this season he knows where the goal is. + He’s a toon fan and would give it his best in every match. Bottom line is, you cannot know whether a player will blossom in the PL, you can only judge his potential by what he’s shown. And noone can claim Graham doesn’t know where the goal is. If we’re all going for PL-proven players, then our budget will be waisted on 1, maybe 2 players. How can anyone know for certain that Gervinho/ Gameiro will succeed (not that I doubt them myself). Come on ppl, for a few mill. this guy could be perfect for this club. I’m from Norway, so please don’t judge me by my grammar, but if you don’t feel my post was to your liking, feel free to voice your opinion
32 NottsGeordie // May 28, 2011 at 2:04 PM
WWJBD and davybtoon
My bad yeah just slips of mind put in M’bengue for Ferguson and Ben Arfa in for Cabaye in a 4-2-3-1 formation and Ben Arfa in for Demba Ba in the 4-4-2 formation then put Gervinho upfront
33 Toon1978 // May 28, 2011 at 2:05 PM
We seem to forget we have Best coming back and believe or not i think he will chip in with quite a few goals next season. He was on a fine run before his injury.
34 shearermania // May 28, 2011 at 2:06 PM
ill reckon the board are playing hard ball with nolan….its like they are sayin “barton didnt sign the contract which was offered, wupsi a french international arrives” so kev are you going to sign now or ????
35 sticklebricks // May 28, 2011 at 2:07 PM
Think he could do a job for us. If he isn’t happy with the wages, just need to build a contract based on playing/goal bonuses to get to his 24k/week..
36 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 2:08 PM
Right so our strikers are Best Shola Loven and Ranger (In that order imo)
We have 1 big striker name like Gamerio coming in then possibly Ba for free (I cant see any bigger team than us coming in for him) and Graham (or another of similar cost)
Take out Ranger because he has to be off on loan if not sold imo and one of Best or Loven I can see being moved on
That leaves us with 5 which is only 1 more than we have now…..why is this so hard to believe?
37 Toon1978 // May 28, 2011 at 2:09 PM
Hoppefot79
You have a fair point. I did not think Best would be good enough but he came in and did ok.
38 NottsGeordie // May 28, 2011 at 2:10 PM

Do you think we will get the French kid from Gamerio ????
40 shearermania // May 28, 2011 at 2:12 PM

we also got xisco….i know he is easy to forget..
its not about quantity but quality??
if and its a big if we get all these players in nzogbia, gervinho, emana, gameiro….where would our captain fit in?????
41 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 2:13 PM

Haha fair play but a lot of others do
I would comment on the F1 but I cant stand it haha
Toon1978
I havent got a clue about Gameiro specifically mate but I would say we will get someone of that quality and price with a fair amount of confidence
42 NottsGeordie // May 28, 2011 at 2:14 PM
Toon1978
Hes not from Gamiero hes called Gamiero
IMO we will get him. I dont think any other team will offer as much as us or be able to pay it all at once. He might want to join Valencia but he cant if Lorient only accept our bid
43 Toon1978 // May 28, 2011 at 2:14 PM
Sorry i meant French kid Gamerio.
44 Tonytoon73 // May 28, 2011 at 2:16 PM

45 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 2:17 PM
Shearermania
Oh aye forgot about him…cant see him staying tho he will get loaned out or sold as well…..or maybe released. He wont get another chance with us.
No no I agree but people are saying we wont sign 3 strikers which I think is wrong
I also doubt we will get both Insomnia and Gervinho one or the other imo. As for Nolan I really dont know where he will fit in….same with Barton which might be why his contract offer has been taken back
46 gorskino10 // May 28, 2011 at 2:18 PM
A fan who could work VERY HARD but i just dont think he has enough quality, a bench player but we dont need that we need instant starters like Gamiero/Gervinho/Ba etc…

51 Flair:20 // May 28, 2011 at 2:21 PM
Ed, once again you mention James Perch when questionning the merit of signing a Championship player. Perch is not representative of all Championship players. Yes, he struggled to adapt to the Premier League at first (many players do) but has since played well in his fleeting appearances. It is no riskier to sign cheap Championship players than it is to spend big money on players from overseas. The addition of another Geordie in Graham would be particularly pleasing and I believe that, like Perch, both Graham and Pratley have the quality and mentality to make excellent and cost-effective squad players for NUFC.

fingers crossed eh
Sturridge won’t get game time at Chelsea, especially with neymar more than likely going there. And other CL clubs have better strikers than him anyway, so won’t be interested, so there is every chance we can get sturridge !
58 NottsGeordie // May 28, 2011 at 2:27 PM

Agree with you mate. Ed you dont mention players like Boumsong, Luque and Marcelinho when we are linked with pricey european players but mention players like Perch (who hasnt done that bad) when we are linked with Championship players. Why not mention Carroll, Best and Charlie Adam who have done very well since making the step up.

5 million for Yohan Cabaye! Pardew just go sign him up immeditely! Before somebody comes and hijacks the deal go give him a medical and get the deal over with soon! He is a incredible playmaker. Great eye for pass and great ball control. A player i will take anyday for 5 million which is his release contract….

Theo Janssen from FC Twente has signed a three year deal with Ajax Amsterdam last week.
Had hoped that he would of been worth taking a look at for us ( a bargain at 3.2 mil ). He,ll be playing Champ league next year though with them.
Still pissed off about losing our top ten spot on the last day but starting to look forward to next year already!!
89 Baro // May 28, 2011 at 2:59 PM
I really hope we keep Joey Barton and we will keep him its all his agent that wants 10k or 20k more when Barton is already agreeing a contract. He was no doubtly one of our best players on the pitch this year…

whats up with #7 why dont they want #10…..or #9 ahhhhh kids these days
96 tom tomb // May 28, 2011 at 3:01 PM
It looks to me like we are trying to sell or let go of, players that are the highest earners. Barton, Enrique, Smith, Nolan. Three of those have no pace, (Pardews comments recently about needing pace in the team).
So I can see a bit of a rebuilding job going on here. If those 4 go (Smith would have to be a pay off or paid for loan). I can see Pardew getting about 6 or 7 new players in for less wages than those 4.
That is possibly why we are linked with so many midfielders, as we certainly seem to have enough at this moment.
97 shearermania // May 28, 2011 at 3:02 PM

98 Baro // May 28, 2011 at 3:02 PM
we are closing in on Kevin Gameiro and are giving him a stadium tour according to those french sources, would you guys give him the #9? I certainly would as he has scored over 20 goals this season in French ligue 1 and 12 million is a lot of money, but if you take a look at it as if 12 million of carroll transfer than it looks like nothing….

No its 7. He wanted 77 but the club said no so he got 37
Baro
I have a thing for 14
got it on my boots and wear it when being scouted for my local team, 10 division below league 2
One day Graham Carr will realise i can make the step up

Didnt he get 37 because 3=7=10? I have no idea just what I heard
106 Toon1978 // May 28, 2011 at 3:07 PM

He would need to earn the number 9 imo. Tell the strikers at the beginning of the season that whoever scores the most goals in that season will get the number 9 lol. Good incentive.

“This is not the first time Newcastle have been linked with the player who was born in Gateshead, and scored 27 goals in 49 appearances for Watford last season.
Of course that was in the Championship and the Premier League is so much higher in class, and more difficult to score goals in than England’s second division”.

Wouldn’t that be something
I may just be starting to change my opinion of Pardew. I love the idea of Ben Arfa behind Gameiro, a la Rooney and Hernandez and even trying to adopt the Barcelona formation.
123 toonbelmonter // May 28, 2011 at 3:16 PM
ben arfas favourite number is 10, he wanted 10 but routledge had it so chose 37, he wore the number 10 at marseille and he is a typical number 10 behind the striker , ani news from cwarr lads

143 hainesy // May 28, 2011 at 3:28 PM
Nufc_mo – Oh I forgot that’s how much unproven french left backs that haven’t played a full game for the international team costs. And also forgot that the best/ one of the best proven left backs in Britain is worthy of a 4M bid.
144 gazza going fishing // May 28, 2011 at 3:28 PM
Is it just me are does that cwarr lad talk absoloute utter nonsense, he never even mentioned cabaye the other day, and when the news breaks out then he goes on like he has just sparked everythink off! nevertheless its going to be an exciting summer lads!
145 NottsGeordie // May 28, 2011 at 3:29 PM

146 ilovetoon8788 // May 28, 2011 at 3:29 PM
@ hainesy // May 28, 2011 at 3:23 PM
Danny Graham – 3.5mil
M’bengue – 8 mil
Pratley – 3mil
Larsson – free
Another 5mil for 3 players for backup and for filling the bench. Rotation etc. Or Cabaye.
There you go, our more realistic transfer for next season. Gervinho? No chance he will come to us. =)
147 NottsGeordie // May 28, 2011 at 3:31 PM
ilovetoon
Pratley is on a free transfer, becasue his contract a Swansea has ran out…
148 hainesy // May 28, 2011 at 3:32 PM
Pratley is a free agent so 8.5M for other players
149 ilovetoon8788 // May 28, 2011 at 3:33 PM
@NottsGeordie
Even better. Ashley can’t resist a freebie can he?? =) That frees up another 3mil to buy a versatile fringe player. Most here are dreaming if they think Gervinho will come to us. LOL.
150 nightfa11 // May 28, 2011 at 3:33 PM
NottsGeordie
no not really, but my mate has..& he said the kid has potential.. i guess well just have to see.. but id prefer somebody i dont know to start the match, then sbd i know is average:)
151 AussieToon // May 28, 2011 at 3:34 PM
I will tell you now, Pratley on a free would be great business. Lifting the quality of our depth. He is better than Raylor and Guthrie.

why wouldnt he? tiote is here, cabaye (apparently) is here..2 of his mates..plus ben arfa..plus if we get a good striker… why wouldnt he come under these circumstances?
157 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 3:36 PM
I read Abied was a winger
But we can all agree he plays football yes? Cos I wont support a golfer!

No he didnt say anything about him but so what? He hasent claimed he got it right he has just said information on it…..whats the issue?
I dont get why people hate him so much. everyone on here touts peoples names all the time and they dont get that reaction even if he is just a liar he isnt doing anything different to everyone on here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehdi_Abeid
Says hes a winger
We will find out when we ssee him play maybe he hasent got a certain position yet because he is young
162 Nufc_mo // May 28, 2011 at 3:41 PM
So, Sources i cannot name state that Newcastle are close to Signing Gervinho. My source has told me that the contract is all but done and dusted and they are just finalising his number. Apparantly Gervinho wanted the Number 9, however Pardew is only willing to offer 99 to him.
163 Nufc_mo // May 28, 2011 at 3:41 PM
imo his goal per game ratio would be more suited as a CAM rather then a RW tho
164 gazza going fishing // May 28, 2011 at 3:42 PM
WWjbd, the issue is the fact he is going on like he is gods gift and raising peoples hopes when he knows nothing.
165 nightfa11 // May 28, 2011 at 3:42 PM
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehdi_Abeid
it says hes a right winger
166 shearermania // May 28, 2011 at 3:42 PM
my opinion on cwarero or whatever he calls himself is that he reads the news like the rest of us – he puts it on twitter straight away with all kind of bullshit like awaiting medical, agents bla bla…
he is guessing or like the rest of us hoping and praying…on a good note he does offer a bit of hope, a ray of sunshine to this peopple who has suffered for so long….even though its bull
167 archaeomag // May 28, 2011 at 3:43 PM
I think Danny Graham is 25, so I’m not sure he fits with current buying policy – however, Germaine Beckford [27] has worked out ok [in the end] for Everton.

@nightfa11 // May 28, 2011 at 3:35 PM
I hate to spoil all the fun you guys are having with the dream teams. The fact is, we are not going to get all the flair and dynamite players in this very season itself. Gervinho, Gamiero, Nzog, Menez, Sturridge??? Lol. Their combined wages itself will off the roof.
We can only sign all of them, If Ashley dramatically changes the way he does his business in transfer dealing. That we know is not going to happen after seeing what happen to Barton and Nolan contracts.
You mentioned Titoe and Arfa but did you look at the circumstance of their signing? Tiote was a steal. A kind of deal that is so brilliant it happens once every 4 years. lol. Not everyday is a Sunday! haha. Ben Arfa wasn’t wanted because of his attitude. We showed the most interest and love for him and he chose us.
Gervinho? You do know top european teams are after him. His wages and transfer alone would make us use half the budget. Which means the rest of the budget will be used for versatile fringe players. You think the thought of partnering Mercurial Ameobi is exhilarating for him? lol. Please wake up. We can sign Nzog at most.
169 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 3:44 PM

172 shearermania // May 28, 2011 at 3:46 PM

173 toonbelmonter // May 28, 2011 at 3:47 PM
shearermania, there were no reports in the media that ashley was w8n for an xcuse to sack hughton to appoint pardew yet he sed that in october, n all the way thru the point wen hughton was sacked he sed pardew was cumin in,
174 boom boom cheick cheick the room // May 28, 2011 at 3:47 PM

toonmonster..
so did the bookies
176 nightfa11 // May 28, 2011 at 3:49 PM
his wages?
if we get rid off smith (65), xisco (55), we already got rig off sol (30k), barton (65), perhaps even nolan after all this (55 i think?), shola (how much is he on anyway), loven (same?), + perch, raylor, etc. we have enough for wages..budget is big enough. & we have youngsters to step up.
ok nolan & barton are not in the same bracket, but we have a lot of dead wood lying around.
177 09nufc09 // May 28, 2011 at 3:49 PM
People constantly mention the ones cwarr has got wrong but fail to mention the many he has got right, he has a higher accuracy over the past few windows than sky and all the papers.
Yes he has got some wrong but the chronicle said a few year ago we had signed modric, sky were reporting that ben arfa was going to sign for hamburg. None of the ‘reliable’ sources had even heard about tiote before cwarr announced it.
Youve got too take the good with the bad.
I for one like all the speculation, gives everyone something totalk about.
178 gazza going fishing // May 28, 2011 at 3:50 PM

Somehow i don’t think NUFC would go out and pay 15 million for a striker that has 3 years at best in him. 15 million could be spent else where. We could get Sturridge plus another player for that amount.

The Entertainers we already have le cock as our owner. Haha
223 gazza going fishing // May 28, 2011 at 4:20 PM
WWJBD- agreed mate. When we had carrol we set our team around him, put liverpool play a different style, maybe he will adapt to that style and become an all round star and come to back to the toon in a few years time
lol maybe not.
224 GeordieGerman // May 28, 2011 at 4:20 PM
The Entertainers and archaeomag, Ashley will change the badge to a pile of pies.

gazza
I am one of the few that believes we havent seen the last of him in a toon shirt
228 gazza going fishing // May 28, 2011 at 4:26 PM
WWJBD- just seems like strange fate doesn’t it?
a think he has much to improve on to ocme an all round player, and it could just be a blessing in disquise (or however you spell it!)
229 GeordieGerman // May 28, 2011 at 4:26 PM
WWJBD, no you’re not. I said awhile ago that I give him 5 years.
230 Tonytoon73 // May 28, 2011 at 4:26 PM
GG not counting chickens. Do you not mean cockerels.lol
231 BlacknWhite Barmy // May 28, 2011 at 4:27 PM
Danny G signing has all the incredients of another Paul Kitson flop.
No problem with the lad but he isnt EPL class yet and if this is the class of player we are going for – coupled with selling or unable to agree contracts on the bwetter players – we are stuffed. Whilst the windon is not yet open I get the feeling we are shopping at Primark whilst window shopping at Debenhams. THere will be those on here who agree with the financial approach taken by FatAsh, but there has to be a balance between what the club achieves on the pitch and what happens with the bank balance. If we fail again in the transfer market and end up with the usual dross we will be relegated – except this time hte team will not have the quality to get out of hte division at the first attempt
232 nightfa11 // May 28, 2011 at 4:28 PM
correction: ba for best.. sorry but i dont feel confident enough with him uprfont..even as back up..

234 NUFC STEVE // May 28, 2011 at 4:28 PM
Lads don’t believe everything u hear this is where we have gone in CM for the last few days!!!!
1) no contract for Barton
2)nolan stalls on contract
3)pratley (supposedly) offered contract
4)after emana
5)deal for Cabaye nearly done!!!
Life at Newcastle really is a rollercoaster!!!!
235 gazza going fishing // May 28, 2011 at 4:29 PM
a remember you saying that GG i will give it 3 or 4 the way he struggling.
236 gazza going fishing // May 28, 2011 at 4:31 PM

237 GeordieGerman // May 28, 2011 at 4:31 PM
BlacknWhite Barmy, the lad’s got 8 more goals than Carroll in a season. Get him in and sell him in January for ?? millions.
238 Indian Magpie // May 28, 2011 at 4:31 PM
University college london, not talking abt nxt years final.
Come on my NUFc Bros & Girlfriends

239 BlacknWhite Barmy // May 28, 2011 at 4:31 PM
GG – how do you get a picture whilst hte rest of use have some crap graphics??
240 Jammydodger // May 28, 2011 at 4:32 PM
The best thing to happen to Le Toon was the sale of Carroll and the Purchase of HBA, Should hopefully make the switch from brutish long ball stoke fulham esq play to something a bit more flamboyant.
Getting French speaking players is genius, more likely to get on with Tiote and HBA helping them settle and make things more stable.
All the players were linked with are top dogs of real quality.
would like Enrique to stay but if he goes anywhere but the scousers unless they pay good money for him. Would be good if Guti stayed but if enrique goes i can sort of see the s americans all departing.
R johnson was a good shout him and staylor would be immense, staylor to play rb next year if collo stays and new cb comes in.
241 BlacknWhite Barmy // May 28, 2011 at 4:33 PM
GGerman – you are starting to sound like FatAsh – buy them cheap and sell them on!!

Black n white barmy
Graham has something like 25 goals
Bests highest is 14
Carroll scored what 22
I would ideally,I know this won’t happen, but
Loan out ranger
Get rid of loven best and Ameobi
Loan out sameobi and airey
Bring in BA, STURRIDGE , GRAHAM, and one of the quality French strikers!!!!???????
244 GeordieGerman // May 28, 2011 at 4:35 PM
BlacknWhite Barmy, take that back about comparing me with Ashley and al tell ya.
245 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 4:35 PM
haha aye GG I recall you saying that you are one of the few haha
I think most would disagree with us though.
And yeah gazza Carroll still has a lot to learn about the game and techniques but he might become a star….he might not as well like
246 Indian Magpie // May 28, 2011 at 4:36 PM
Thank you
@ German Geordie
247 BlacknWhite Barmy // May 28, 2011 at 4:37 PM
Jdodge – agreed that £35M for Carrol was good business – but a good club would have someone in place before they let their star player go.
Who is to say the FatAsh didnt see HBA as a cheap £6M who could be sold on for 12 in a year?
248 BlacknWhite Barmy // May 28, 2011 at 4:38 PM
GGerm – you are a fine upstanding Geordie with no resembalance to FatAsh at all – now tell me
249 gazza going fishing // May 28, 2011 at 4:39 PM
Come on stevenage! if they win it takes about 0.000000001 % embarrasment off us lol!
250 GeordieGerman // May 28, 2011 at 4:41 PM
Indian Magpie, download Veetle and Sopcast. they normally have the best picture and don’t continually freeze (they do but not a lot). you can see by the stars which is the best signal. Normally FSC or YES.
251 BlacknWhite Barmy // May 28, 2011 at 4:42 PM
NufcSteve – Kitson had a good record before he came here. Its probably harder for a local – especially one that will need to hit the ground running. Look what the fans did to J D Thommasson and Viana – if you start with two or three poor games they get on their backs – not unique to the Toon but we can be a bit unforgiving
252 Indian Magpie // May 28, 2011 at 4:43 PM

Williams – free
Hutton – £5m
Cabaye – £4m
Wanyama – £1m
Gervinho – £10m
Zog – £10m
Gameiro – £10m
Ba – free
Best recruitment possible? The only one we haven’t been linked with is Hutton, but surely it’s plain to (sub)Pardew that we need a new RB?
255 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 5:08 PM

Where did you get that from?
257 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 5:13 PM
Mark Douglas on twitter he is chief sports writer for Sunday Sun and a sports writer for the Journal and Evening Chronicle
He wont give any details but he says its worth the £1 tobuy tomorrows paper. Says we are looking at some very good players and has firm information on both Larrson and Reo-Coker
258 BlacknWhiteBarmy // May 28, 2011 at 5:13 PM
SS good news on transfers – along the lines of Ahsley wants to spend heavily on the team – but has tabled offers for Reo Coker, Ba, Carew and any other crock or freebie
259 BlacknWhiteBarmy // May 28, 2011 at 5:14 PM

Just for the crack 2-1 unites tonight.
Haha, sucker for an underdog!
263 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 5:24 PM
Thump about as much as any other paper?
264 Toon1978 // May 28, 2011 at 5:25 PM
I have 2-1 to Man utd. Barcalona to score first..Messi, followed by Man utd equalising early in the second half..Rooney. Last seconds of the game, Giggs will pop up and give Man utd the CL Cup. There scoreres…Messi,Rooney and Giggs.
265 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 5:28 PM
Sunday Sun has the inside track on #nufc first signing of the summer tomorrow. It’s a cracker – as we predicted last wk. Exciting times!
Again from Mark Douglas
266 Tonytoon73 // May 28, 2011 at 5:29 PM
Ah dump or thump you called me a pr!ck last week and an internet hardman. Well if you want to meet me anywhere in the toon i will show you it is not just on the inter net. Also i was threatening a mackem so if you want to stick up for a mackem bring it on you little sad mug.
267 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 5:29 PM
Its apparently the international we were promised by Pardew…Cabbage?
268 Toon1978 // May 28, 2011 at 5:30 PM

Stop it mannnn you are making me inpatient for Sunday and i hate bloody sunday’s lol. Wonder what the info is on Larrson and Coker. Two excellent squad players.

272 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 5:33 PM
hahaha I am just a conduit my friend. Sorry though Toon1978
I would guess Larrson is ours and Reo-Coker is targeted
273 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 5:35 PM
hainesy haha am on the pulse mate
Toon1978 it could be him aye I wouldnt be shocked but he isnt a full international so maybe not….am just optomistic haha
274 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 5:37 PM
Also he said it was someone they predicted would be signing….would they of predicted a unknown realeased Lens player? They tend to predict people that will sell papers
275 Toon1978 // May 28, 2011 at 5:40 PM
Cabaye may be the international the Sun was talking about last week. Arsenal are after Eden Hazard from Lille also and Gervinho. Not good times for Lille. Will Gervinho follow Hazard to Arsenal or maybe Cabaye to the Toon (IF). My heart says us but my head says the Gooners as they can provide CL Footy. Apparently surprise surprise Liverpool may be interested also to add to the 6 or so strikers they already have. Liverpool used to be by second team but Dalgliesh has changed that since January with the Carroll saga and now Enrique, the bloke is desperate to see us suffer. Hope we get these players in and Enrique see’s the ambition we have and signs on the dotted line. That would stick it right up that greedy jock gittttt!!!!
276 hainesy // May 28, 2011 at 5:41 PM
He claims it is amazing so Abeid really wouldn’t quality in that bracket. Ba would be the best start to the window also Can’t give any clues as we’re looking to flog papers! But we haven’t just copied & pasted it from a French website (-; #nufc
277 Toon1978 // May 28, 2011 at 5:43 PM
Could it be Menez hehehehe look i am off oot for the CL final soon so it gives me something to talk about with the lads whether there is legs in all this or not.
278 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 5:44 PM
With Arsenal scouting Lille I reckon they are after Hazard and Gervinho has been linked because of that….I dont think they want Gervinho. They are never big spenders are they really going to buy 2 wingers for 25+million?
279 hainesy // May 28, 2011 at 5:44 PM
Also some stuff from Alan Pardew on how #NUFC will be transformed behind the scenes when they return on July 4 again Mark Douglas.

299 The Entertainers // May 28, 2011 at 6:03 PM
Courted by PSG and Valencia striker Kevin Gameiro Lorient has also been approached by Newcastle. After submitting a new offer of nearly twelve million, the Magpies have prompted the French international to visit their facilities. Available in June 2012, Lorient striker Kevin Gameiro (24) remains the top priority of recruitment of Paris Saint-Germain, which has also targeted Dimitri Payet (St Etienne), Alou Diarra (Bordeaux) and Milan Bisevac (Valenciennes ). Robin Leproux, club president of the Capital, has yet to meet his counterpart Hake, Loïc Féry, last week. The Capital Club is ready to align with the current rates (10-12 M €). But the former Strasbourg is still waiting whether teammates Claude Makelele will achieve or not snatch third place in the classification, documentation of qualification for the preliminary round of the next edition of the Champions League. In addition, Kevin Gameiro still favors the trail in Valencia, who offered him a four-year contract. While the French international has expressed the wish to be fixed as soon as possible on its future, Spanish leaders have recently renewed negotiations with their counterparts in Lorient, who had brushed aside a proposal from the hand of seven million euros payable in installments during the last Mercato. If departure of the Italian Giuseppe Rossi FC Barcelona, ??Villarreal is also on the move. Ditto for Fernabhçae, Schalke 04, Lyon, Lille or Tottenham, who face yet supervised in Nice (2-0, 37th day of Ligue 1) the last weekend. Harry Redknapp, the manager of the Spurs, had made the trip. But as we announced earlier, Newcastle was also positioned on the concrete case of Kevin Gameiro (Ed.: Mevlut Erding and Djibril Cisse are also tracked), which however did not necessarily seem very excited by the Prime League. In search of success
300 Kurt // May 28, 2011 at 6:03 PM
Considering buying a season ticket for next season. How much does an average place cost? Anybody knows?
301 colwell // May 28, 2011 at 6:03 PM
Its Cabaye. Someone asked him too just tell them its Cabaye he replied never! then added but there is big news on him tomorrow!

303 Toon1978 // May 28, 2011 at 6:05 PM
Tonytoon1973
hahaha he has been a little shy in front of goal this season. When Man utd played up here he had a shot on goal in the last few minutes and it flew past the right hand post. Thought it was going in all the way. I was sitting just right of the goal in the corner more or less pitch level. Any other day he would have buried it. Then that cheating Mexican kid went down as thought somebody had shot him with a shot gun. Ref blew up, i thought it was a pen, had a rant and was told to shut the f..k up as it wasn’t a pen lol. Imogen for Giggs . Women, snakes with t1ts, she has knackered Giggs season lol.

Argghhhhhhh!!! I hope tomorrow comes fast
307 geordiefinn // May 28, 2011 at 6:16 PM

So Mark Douglas, the Sunday Sun reporter admits there’s gonna be big news about Cabaye tomorrow?!?!?!
308 The Entertainers // May 28, 2011 at 6:16 PM
You know I miss Carroll ( honestly ) but it may be the best transfer we’ve ever completed if we get these potential targets.
309 kevymartins // May 28, 2011 at 6:18 PM

I get True Faith Podcast and Toon Talk…both just search through iTunes
317 NottsGeordie // May 28, 2011 at 6:22 PM
Mark Douglas from The Sun has said that the news from the paper will be on The Sun website at around 10 am so if you cant get the paper check on the website for the news.

WWJBD what’s the best one?
321 hainesy // May 28, 2011 at 6:28 PM

In’s:
Youssef El Arabi – 4.5M
Yohan Cabaye- 4M
Demba Ba- FREE
Darren Pratley- FREE
Danny Graham-3M
Seb Larsson- FREE
Cheick M’Bengue- 7M
Charles N’Zogbia- 10M

Outs:
Kuqi and Campbell- Released
Barton- 3.5M

Few youngsters out on loan
Smith,Perch and Guthrie- 2.5M
Total= 14M
What do you think?
322 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 6:29 PM

True Faith is realistic verging on optomistic and funny
Toon Talk is pesemistic and sometimes very anti Ashley and not as funny
Both worth a listen though if you have enough time
323 Andy // May 28, 2011 at 6:30 PM
Can someone give me a bit of info on Cabaye? I remember I was told we’d get him last year on the blog and he has been linked to a few good clubs – Liverpool/Arsenal in the past. What is he like? How old?
324 kevymartins // May 28, 2011 at 6:30 PM
cheers WWJBD ill give them a go
325 CheickTiote // May 28, 2011 at 6:31 PM
Hainsey, stick Gervinho and Gamiero to that list then I’ll be happy.
Enrique is a lot better than Cheick M’Bengue so I don’t think that 1m price difference justifies their difference in ability. Although I know Enrique has only got 1 year left on his contract, realistically I believe we can get more.
326 Toon1978 // May 28, 2011 at 6:32 PM

quite realistic list of players there. Was a little down beat when i didn’t see Gervinho or Sturridge there lol. A lot of people up beat about Ba, i must admit i am overawed by him. But to be honest and fair to Ba i ain’t seen him play much so i am in no position to criticise same applies to Graham.
327 Tonytoon73 // May 28, 2011 at 6:33 PM
Andy he is 25 and looks a good box to box midfielder and has a bit of skill.
328 NottsGeordie // May 28, 2011 at 6:33 PM
Some quotes for those that dont have twitter
FAN: haha just admit it’s Cabaye and be done with it
MARK DOUGALS: Never! But you’ll not be let down if you want to find out what’s really going on with that ‘international midfielder’
FAN: Are you reporting a transfer to Newcastle or just more speculation?
MARK DOUGLAS: It’s not speculation. Won’t be confirmed for a bit but it’ll happen.
FAN: Are you excited with the signing?
MARK DOUGLAS: Exellent pedigree.
FAN: Any confirmation on the Yohan Cabaye singning
MARK DOUGLAS: Can’t give out stuff from the paper tomorrow, sorry mate! But things about to take off at newcastle
FAN: Oh you tease me mark, better be legit, been hearing a lot of tat lately
MARK DOUGLAS: It’s legit. Been sitting on it since Thursday! Few hammered me last week over ‘international midfielder’ line.. Let’s see, eh?

No bother I have tried to push the True Faith podcast on here before because I really enjoy it
Hainsey
I wouldnt want Barton leaving but other than that I would be pretty happy but if we didnt get a big name striker like Gamerio, Sow or Sturridge I wouldnt be happy playing with just 1 striker but thats just me
330 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 6:35 PM
Mark Douglas says Ba isnt a target as far as he knows…apparently his knee is worse than Ledley Kings
331 GeordieTwo // May 28, 2011 at 6:35 PM
Not bad in terms of prices Hainesy. Don’t think we will bring 8 players in. Don’t think we will go for Graham myself. Ba seems to have injury problems according to many (knee?). Could see us going for Cabaye for RW, bid for Zog if club thinks Jose will leave, Larsson is obviously cheap as a squad player and probably a couple more from Europe we haven’t been linked with yet, so maybe 5 total. Would love to get Gameiro as well as Cabaye as we desparately need a striker obviously.
332 hainesy // May 28, 2011 at 6:38 PM
I am being as low as I can be when putting on that list on so I am actually like you guys and hoping for much better players to come in the door! However I would not be too disappointed with that list, we all know it could be a lot worse with this FCB at the helm.

Glad you mentioned Sturridge there mate lol. He would be my first choice. I think NUFC would have to work extremely hard to get him though. Ashley has the chance to get the supporters chanting his name instead of telling him to foxtrot oscar.
334 Andy // May 28, 2011 at 6:41 PM
I cannot wait for tonights game!! Could be a classic! FORZA BARCA!
335 hainesy // May 28, 2011 at 6:44 PM
Gameiro and Gervinho would take up a mass of our budget. I think it would be one or the other, we will be bringing in bulk mainly to fill out the squad and cope with injuries as best as we can. We will also 99% be brining in at least 1 left back if Enrique goes, so there is more money away, then theirs the famous Carr finds to come so based on that I would expect one of Gervinho/Gameiro/Sow/Sturridge to come in
336 kevymartins // May 28, 2011 at 6:46 PM
My opinon on tonight’s game..
Barca to come out fireing man utd will be so focus on keeping messi quiet pedro or inesta will score
but we all know what man utd are like at scrapping away to get there 1-0 win….its a tough 1 to call but i say barca to take it in extra time
337 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 6:46 PM
Toon1978
Aye I would love him here but I dont see it happening….I reckon he will end up at Spurs if he leaves Chelsea.
hainesy
I agree though I think its more Insomnia or Gervinho rather than Gameiro and him.
338 Toon1978 // May 28, 2011 at 6:48 PM
I know not many of you will be interested but for those who like all walks of the game here is Man utd team
Van der Sar; Fabio, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Giggs, Park, Rooney, Hernandez
339 Andy // May 28, 2011 at 6:51 PM
Toon1978 Puyol is out for Barca! Can maybe see man U sneeking a goal before half time, Hernandez getting in behind
340 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 6:51 PM
Fabio?…..FABIO?!?! Am not one to mess with the knowledge of Sir Alex Ferguson but really?
341 kevymartins // May 28, 2011 at 6:52 PM

342 Toon1978 // May 28, 2011 at 6:56 PM
Happy for Carrick. My good mate who i am out with tonight had his brother Graham Carrick playing for him. Nice story here but my mates team made it to the final and Michael was playing in a cup game also on the same day. Well Graham was getting ready for the game with his team mates Michael phoned him from the Man utd changing rooms to wish them good luck. They went on to win the final. Not sure it Graham gets on here but if he does then i am sure he can tell you first hand.

Rooney has been crap all year….been out shone by Chicorita and Berbatov….been dragged along by Giggs and Scholes……proved to the world he is still a foul mouthed moron…..yet the CL is still all about him vs Messi as if there is a comparison…….I HATE ITV
363 greek toon // May 28, 2011 at 7:37 PM
Alright lads, dont comment much but read the comments everyday, Just been going through Mark Douglas twitter and he mentions Seb Larsson and Reo-Coker so maybe they are to do with newcastle. and he then goes on to tag nufc in his larsson comment about an hour ago but does not link it to the supposed big signing. and his last tweet is …
Eh? I said exciting, definitive news on the first signing. That’s what it is …
to a fan asking if its Cabaye because he hyped up this name to much and we already heard about Cabaye, so take it as it is but i will defo be checking the website at 10am lol.
Hopefully we sort out transfer business early so we have a strong pre season with a full squad
364 Tonytoon73 // May 28, 2011 at 7:41 PM
Well lads on my twatter messi to sign for us after cl final tonight.
365 WWJBD // May 28, 2011 at 7:42 PM
Its just about to start and I have to leave…..gutted
enjoy it lads have a good un….all except Tony who is going to be distraught by the end of this night
366 greek toon // May 28, 2011 at 7:44 PM
and a quick note on Cwarr07 i follow him but only because i love all the gossip i read about the toon, although last night he tweeted,
#nufc officials flew to France today after permission was given to speak to Cheikh M’Bengue
and followed it up by talking about how he said delegates went to france and he told us about it so he knew about the Cabaye signing but i questioned him stating he mentioned Cheikh name and he has since removed his tweet on Cabaye, do not believe this guy is a reliable source
367 Tonytoon73 // May 28, 2011 at 7:44 PM

389 davis_toons // May 28, 2011 at 10:34 PM
Can we get some scouts to look at Baca B team??? Or rather rejects player?
It will be useful. As Pep Guardiola have say before they have too many Jack Wilshere’s In Reserve Side if Wilshere were to be consider a top player.
Remember we are a rebuilding team. Its not insulting to those that think so.
Just afraid they might not wanna join the team at Newcastle.

We got get in from the rest of the world some of these qualities into Newcastle when they are still young.
1) Shane Ferguson. (Good contract offer- nice move)
Man Utd is becoming an ageing team
with (avg age) (of course, that includes Michael Owen)
Sub : Paul Scholes (36yrs)
Baca ‘s (20′s)
Sub : Ibrahim Afellay (25yrs)
