Surprise news today in the Evening Chronicle, that Newcastle fancy young David Hoilett of Blackburn Rovers.
David Hoilett - impressive young forward
The 20 year-old Canadian played 28 times for Blackburn this season with 6 goals, and has 55 total appearances for the club with 9 goals over the last couple of seasons.
The Brampton, Ontario born player can play on the wing or as a striker and he’s looked very good for Blackburn this season when w;eve watched them.
From 2007 until 2009 the lad was loaned out to two German clubs, SC Pauli and SC Paderborn 07 for some first team experience.
It’s interesting that Blackburn manager Steve Kean has claimed the Canadian starlet is desperate to stay at Ewood Park, but the Indian owners are undecided about their new manager.
Kean, with no previous experience in management, had a terrible run this year, and only just saved the Lancashire club from relegation.
That was after he had surprisingly replaced former manager Sam Allardyce in December, when Blackburn were in no danger of relegation, and it turned out to be a disastrous move by the new owners, who seemed to know very little about running a football club.
Hoilett joined Blackburn back in 2003 when he was just 12 years old, and of course he fits the profile of good young players who can still improve on Tyneside.
Blackburn will obviously want to tie him down to a long-term deal, and we’d be just a little surprised if they are not able to do that.
Kean will try to cement the deal in two weeks time, when he flies over to Ontario to visit the player and his family.
Kean said today:
“I have spoken with Junior and he is now on a family holiday. I will probably go out to Canada in the next couple of weeks to speak to his dad.”“We are hopeful. He is desperate to get something sorted out, he wants to stay, he is playing well and has enjoyed a good run in the team.”
“He is enjoying his football and has been a bit of a match-winner for us. I think he has enjoyed the freedom he has had in the final third. He has been allowed to take people on and has caused top players all sorts of problems.”
“He can be top, top notch. He can go all the way to being a very, very special player in this league.”
“I think he can play anywhere. He can play, left, right, in the hole, out and out as a striker. He can adapt and play anywhere, he is that good.”
OK – well that sounds good Steve – he would be great at Newcastle! 
Expect Newcastle to go all out to sign the youngster, and of course Newcastle are a much bigger club than Blackburn, in that they have 52,000 home gates and a mad keen football public on Tyneside, although we have never won the Premier League like Blackburn have.
One of only four clubs to ever win the English Premier league title.
But it will still be difficult to pull this one off, since the lad has been at Blackburn for so long.
Hoilett is eligible to play for either Canada or Jamaica, and he is yet to make any International appearances, but the word is he will elect to play for Canada.
It will be interesting to see how Newcastle fare in their attempt to sign this good looking 20 year-old player.
Comments welcome.

Really impressed by Junior, quick, and has a great shot and eye for goal only worry is he reminds me in many ways of Lua Lua is he the winger we really need? good player tho.
2 alip123 // May 30, 2011 at 1:07 PM
Nt 2 sure, think we cud do btr… Bt then again he lks decent. mebs go 4 agbonlahor???
3 tomnewcastle // May 30, 2011 at 1:10 PM
If barton is going to sign new deal then there may be no need for this guy. But he does look very good for a 20 year old.
Won’t want to stay at a hole like Blackburn.
4 Brutooon // May 30, 2011 at 1:11 PM
Berbatov got problem with Sir Alex Ferguson
Sign him !!!!
During his youngster age, he embrace Alan Shearer and Newcastle United. His first soccer kit is NUFC Jersey

the “good looking” 20 yr old?? Is Mrs Ed filling in while Ed rests up for a while?
6 toonbelmonter // May 30, 2011 at 1:13 PM
steve kean is completely clueless, wenever i watch blackburn he looks like hes being advised by his assistant, plus hes soooooo anoying, lol deluded as f**k anorl mr steve “i think were a big enough club to attract ronaldinho” kean,,, onestly y wud any big name players go to blackburn lol venkys nli sed hed get a 5mill budget lol , hoilet would be ours for 4ish, get him in as replacement for routy,,,
7 ilovetoon8788 // May 30, 2011 at 1:14 PM
Would be an excellent buy. Young, fast with an eye for goal. Can only get better!
8 colwell // May 30, 2011 at 1:16 PM
Good looking lol have you lost interest in Larsson now Ed
9 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 1:18 PM
Everytime I have seen Holliet play he has impressed. Speedy and gives it his all would be a good one to get in BUT I doubt its a true story
10 geoff777 // May 30, 2011 at 1:20 PM
In the Chronicle it says “United are understood to be monitoring the situation”.
If he is a genuine target why tell the Chronicle?
11 ENNYOUEFFSEE // May 30, 2011 at 1:21 PM
Would be a good buy. Young and has a lot of potential. Definately better than Roultledge. Could become a very good player in the future.
12 The Eternal Optimist // May 30, 2011 at 1:21 PM
in a 4-3-3 he would be ideal up top alongside a central striker like sow or Drogba. TBH with him and Arfa either side of him Shola would probs hit 20 next year. The kid is lighting with great feet and composure/control and if we don’t get him now he’ll be off to a top-4 club at the end of this season. Praying this comes off.
13 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 1:22 PM
Burtoon
Berbatov the man who proved running is overrated in football
14 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 1:24 PM
geoff777
Exactly why I doubt its true. Plus dont the Chronicle have a dodgy relationship with the club?
15 roshan MAGPIE // May 30, 2011 at 1:26 PM
if we can buy him for say around 2 to 3 m£
16 Nufc_mo // May 30, 2011 at 1:27 PM
@WhatwouldJoeybartondo (did i get that right?)
berbatov the man that scored 3 hat tricks and became the first non-Englishman to score 5 goals in the EPL
17 toonruz // May 30, 2011 at 1:28 PM
Chronicle no nowt the club tell them nothing
18 JackButler // May 30, 2011 at 1:29 PM
Fits the clubs blueprint, great young player, very quick and will only get better, good signing depending on the price?
19 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 1:31 PM
Nufc_mo
Spot on fella
And he did it all without breaking a sweat (literally haha). He has that much skill he doesnt need to run which is a scary thing
Would like to see him in black and white but realistically it wont happen
20 geoff777 // May 30, 2011 at 1:32 PM
He does tick all the boxes young, shows potential, will improve, not a big financial outlay but there might be profits in three years time.
21 Nufc_mo // May 30, 2011 at 1:33 PM
It could happen!
No doubt he would definetly put alot of thought into joining the club he supported as a child
22 toonbelmonter // May 30, 2011 at 1:35 PM
i think well get a new striker no1s mention, a would preffer an english cf like
sturridge
agbonlahor
defoe
hooper(probaby my 3rd choice no9 )
nicky maynard
23 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 1:36 PM
haha I love the optomism thats about at the minute it makes a change
He put a lot of thought into it but I doubt he will get the chance…not the type of player we would be after. Though I’d take the Gameiro bid and offer it to MUFC for him he still as plent of years left in the tank
24 sammydolan // May 30, 2011 at 1:38 PM
sturridge aint gona leave Chelsea yet… depending on new manager and their views on strike force will dictate what happens… failing that he’ll be off in Jan….
25 Cockney Magpie // May 30, 2011 at 1:39 PM
somebody from ITV jus said this on twitter….. ” close sources telling me Gervinho has just passed a medical in france, where is he heading” he is called ChrisyYatesITV if u wanna have a look
26 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 1:40 PM
toonbelmonter
Sturridge yes
Agbonlahor no
Defoe I would be disappointed
Hooper yes but I dont think as a lone striker he would need a partner
Maynard no
Just my personal opinions on the lot
Iam also not bothered where our lead striker is from
27 toonbelmonter // May 30, 2011 at 1:41 PM
im gunna follow WWJBD’s lead and start a 1 man campaign,,, barnetta 4 nufc lol,, i cnt believe am the only 1 hu wants him over gerry boy
28 toonbelmonter(barnetta4nufc) // May 30, 2011 at 1:46 PM
WWJBD hooper would be immence hes a good player on his oun tbh hes like shearer how he plays (admitedly nt as good) hes ben arfas n cabayes perfect partner, good eye for a goal, good at makin run, clever i think hed be perfect for us tbh
29 geoff777 // May 30, 2011 at 1:46 PM
Interesting times.
Can’t see Nolan starting with Cabaye and Gosling in the squad.
If Pardew makes Nolan captain he might be limiting his options to play Cabaye and Gosling.
Will Barton and Nolan be happy on the bench?
30 NottsGeordie // May 30, 2011 at 1:48 PM
Cockney Magpie
he also said Spurs are strongly linked with Cheik Toite. If they wanna pay 30 million they can have him
31 JackButler // May 30, 2011 at 1:49 PM
If Gervinho comes in, can see Guti leaving as his prefered position in on the left wing, and with young Fergie signing a new five year deal that leaves Guti struggling to get a start.
32 Brutooon // May 30, 2011 at 1:49 PM
The problem with selecting a Captain is that he should be an Automatic First Choice.
Maybe Collocini as a Captain?
33 toonfan76 // May 30, 2011 at 1:51 PM
That chrisyyatesitv has also said spurs with links to cheik tiote
34 NottsGeordie // May 30, 2011 at 1:52 PM
Geoff777
4-2-3-1
Cabaye Tiote
Gervinho Nolan Ben Arfa
Gamiero
Either sell Barton or put him on the bench. Theres no point giving minutes to a player that wont be there in 1 year.
35 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 1:52 PM
hahaha am not fussed. Either Gervinho or Barnetta would improve our squad. Hows the leg btw toonbelmonter, you out of the cast now?
36 niafron // May 30, 2011 at 1:53 PM
Bonjour messieurs.
The french championship is over. AS Monaco is going to the “ligue 2″, the french second division. Which mean Park chu young is now availlable for a good price.
So if NUFC is still searching a good striker, time to make a move on him.
37 NottsGeordie // May 30, 2011 at 1:54 PM
STEVEN TAYLOR FOR CAPTAIN!!!!
38 toonruz // May 30, 2011 at 1:54 PM
spurs couls aford cheik tiote they need to sell b4 they can buy
39 toonruz // May 30, 2011 at 1:54 PM
spurs carnt aford cheik tiote they need to sell b4 they can buy
40 JackButler // May 30, 2011 at 1:54 PM
Collo for captain
41 NottsGeordie // May 30, 2011 at 1:55 PM
yaaay!!! Niafron
Give us a detailed low down on Cabaye, Gervinho, Gameiro and M’bengue please
42 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 1:55 PM
NottsGeordie
I would be deeply unimpressed if Saylor was made captain
43 geoff777 // May 30, 2011 at 1:55 PM
@Brutoon
Collocini would be my choice too.
Since Joey has bitten the hand that feeds him, Pardew would be brave to make him captain.
44 sweendog // May 30, 2011 at 1:56 PM
park chu young would be a good shout .. as for guti leaving .. we’d be nuts to get rid .. keep him for a year, we need a squad not just first teamers .. anyways Guti was one of our best players last year..
45 toonfan76 // May 30, 2011 at 1:57 PM
Dirty Harry can kiss my furry’s. Cheik is going nowhere!
46 Toon1978 // May 30, 2011 at 1:57 PM
Spurs have more midfielders then us. Thought it wouldnt be long for floppy chops to be at it again.
47 geoff777 // May 30, 2011 at 1:57 PM
@NottsGeordie
Cabaye Tiote
Gervinho Gosling Ben Arfa
Gamiero
48 JackButler // May 30, 2011 at 1:58 PM
agree that Guti has been great this season, just if Gurvinho does come in?, i can see Guti leaving, he said last week that he would like to play in italy, hope he stays
49 NottsGeordie // May 30, 2011 at 1:59 PM
WWJBD
Why?
Hes 25 good age.
True Geordie. CB which is best for capatins.
Recently signed new contract.
Goes mental when he scores.
Should be certain start after impressing last few games.
50 bills-son // May 30, 2011 at 1:59 PM
Spurs couldn’t afford to buy AC and they can’t afford a price to make us even consider selling Tiote.
Remember, AC wanted to go for his £80K a week. Unless Tiote asks to go he won’t be sold. I’m certain of that.
51 NottsGeordie // May 30, 2011 at 2:01 PM
Geoff777
Gosling isnt a CF/CAM hes more of a CM/CDM, Nolan is much more suited for that role. He scores goals and makes world class runs from the midfield.
52 JackButler // May 30, 2011 at 2:01 PM
Saylor misses to many games to be captain, Collo will be one of the first names on the team sheet
53 geoff777 // May 30, 2011 at 2:03 PM
We need Jonas to compete with Ben Arfa.
Plus we need the cover and we need to rotate if there is a mid-week game.
54 toonbelmonter(barnetta4nufc) // May 30, 2011 at 2:03 PM
tiote wnt go to spuds ad believe chealse but tottenham, 30mil plz,, theyv already got sandro hu is same type of player lol n WWJBD aye got it of this mornen, lol feels better, still gotta keep of it sumtimes to get used 2 it,
55 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 2:03 PM
NottsGeordie
He is full of himself and has no leadership. Any man that celebrates by himself after a teammate scores a goal is no captain imo.
I dont think he would have the backing of the squad. Collo, for me, is the only other choice for captain if not Nolan.
I also disagree that Saylor should be certain to start but thats a different note haha
56 JackButler // May 30, 2011 at 2:04 PM
Can see Benny playing behind a loan striker, his best position
57 Nufc_mo // May 30, 2011 at 2:05 PM
Atsuto Uchida please. Just sayin…
58 NottsGeordie // May 30, 2011 at 2:05 PM
WWJBD
What about Cheik Toite?
59 niafron // May 30, 2011 at 2:07 PM
Cabaye, M’bengue, Gervinho and gameiro? Lot of work considering my bad english…
OK
Cabaye is Known to be a versatile midfielder as long as he stay in the center of the pitch. He’s worthy for attack or defense, but usualy don’t fit wing play.
Got a good shot, but he don’t have scored a lot this season. And he missed some penalty shot.
Not an exellent season for him, but Laurent Blanc seem to trust him for the national team.
Honnestly a was a bit surprise about NUFC signing him, for i don’t think midfield is the top priority, but he can be useful.
60 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 2:07 PM
NottsGeordie
Tiote gets suspended too often and his english isnt the best so chatting with refs would be a issue I’d say.
Though maybe if he was captain the refs would be nicer about giving yellows…look at Vidic
61 geoff777 // May 30, 2011 at 2:08 PM
Saylor certainly came back and made the position his.
No way was Willo getting back into the team if he’d been fit.
I guess all bets are off at the start of pre-season.
All positions up for grabs again.
62 niafron // May 30, 2011 at 2:10 PM
M’Bengue.
Not seen him a lot. Well, for what i know, he’s the typical french Defender. Physically strong, but lack of technical skills.
We can Maybe compare him with players like Sagna…
Got everything to prove at high level.
NUFC Better got to keep Enirque i think.
63 NottsGeordie // May 30, 2011 at 2:10 PM
WWJBD
Was thinking that but i think it could calm him down a bit. He sees the armband on his arm so he doesnt go flying in for mad challenges
it could work. Lead by example 
64 niafron // May 30, 2011 at 2:12 PM
Gameiro.
Well, i suppos you already got the main informations about him, and didnt got time Know.
As i’ve already said, he’s an amazing striker, but there’s doubt about the fact he can paly in the PL considering his Height.
65 NottsGeordie // May 30, 2011 at 2:13 PM
Thank You niafraon muchly appreciated
66 kevymartins // May 30, 2011 at 2:13 PM
any links to the play-offs?
67 JackButler // May 30, 2011 at 2:13 PM
Craig Bellamy favourite to take charge of Cardiff
68 niafron // May 30, 2011 at 2:14 PM
Gervinho.
Really excellent, Perfect for the PL. But he is a winger. So you stil got your striker’s problem.
And you will pay a lot of money for him.
69 geoff777 // May 30, 2011 at 2:15 PM
I hope if we can sign Gervinho & Cabaye ++, it will make Enrique reconsider leaving.
70 toonfan76 // May 30, 2011 at 2:15 PM
What has a players height got to do with playing in the prem. Michael(money grabber) Owen used to score for fun when he was at his best, then ther’s defoe and SWP. Not to mention Tevez ain’t that tall. Rant over!
71 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 2:16 PM
NottsGeordie
It could work but as a CDM I still think he would end up picking up a lot of cards just goes with the position
I think the only players who are certain to be in the starting 11 next season are Ben Arfa, Collo and Tiote. And I’d say 75% likeyhood of Nolan and Simpson.
72 BonVoyageBenny // May 30, 2011 at 2:17 PM
Not really the type of player I feel we need, I’d prefer Sturridge as a young forward. Also read somewhere in the comments something about Agbonlahor. I’d be happy with him, got good strength, and a fair amount of pace. Bit more effective than Ameobi (sorry Shola)…
73 toonbelmonter(barnetta4nufc) // May 30, 2011 at 2:19 PM
i think pardew will make nolan CLUB captain, n collo, saylor TEAM captain coz a doubt nolan will start evry game
74 Nufc_mo // May 30, 2011 at 2:21 PM
Ameobi for Captain!

Which other forward apart from Heskey is as useless as Ameobi? Please name one.
We will hopefully send Ameobi back down the pecking order where he belongs with some quality signings. Any player we have been linked with up front will do a better job than Strolla Ameobi.
86 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 2:30 PM

quinnynufc – I know m8… Almost feels sad to leave him out the team sheet he has a lot of quality and always puts his shift in… The way he drops back and defends with Enrique is excellent so I thought he would be a good RB option once he gets some playing time there… Also would be dangerous coming forward.
98 Andy // May 30, 2011 at 2:34 PM

all of these lineups people want to see leave Steven Taylor as the only English outfield player,
thats why i hope we get Sturridge, consider Forster in net, a new English right back, keep Barton and Nolan
i love the foreign flair and pace but i dont want to see us as the new Arsenal or Chelsea
102 toonfan76 // May 30, 2011 at 2:40 PM
Any more news on Gervinho?
103 kevymartins // May 30, 2011 at 2:42 PM
Why does people say they dont want to see us the new arsenal….no offence but a squad full of french and a top 4 finish who would’nt take it??
104 Andy // May 30, 2011 at 2:43 PM
Amsterdam i don’t really care what nationality they are. Truth is all english players are massively over priced. Look at Carroll £35m. That is the reason i’d rather us exploit other leagues like French and Dutch where you don’t get held too ransom
105 Amsterdam // May 30, 2011 at 2:43 PM
i do get that the foreign market is value for money and maybe the English teams are producing as much talent, or the best ones get snapped up, i just love to see more British players in our squad
106 JackButler // May 30, 2011 at 2:43 PM
Gervinho deal done according to twitter, hope its true, he would be a class addition to the team
107 quinnynufc // May 30, 2011 at 2:44 PM
sturridge would be an amazing signing but think chelski would demand stupin sums for him. berbatov apparently doesnt seem to feature in fergies plans. worth a punt? maybe too old and again stupid prices
108 JackButler // May 30, 2011 at 2:46 PM
we could have 11 player from mars for all i care, as long as they play with passion and love wearing our shirt i wont care

I’ve just seen far too many players play for us who are only interested in money, all of us on here would give anything to have the honour of wearing that shirt. Wanting players who love to play for 52,000 is not asking a lot in my opinion.

116 JP...from The Rock // May 30, 2011 at 2:54 PM
I really don’t care where they come from TBH. As long as they play with their heart and are better than what we have.
I am really excited with this transfer season. The club is heading the right direction and it’s sights set on Europe. If we keep getting players of Cabaye, Tiote, Ben Arfa talent then we will definitely make it. We just have to be wise at not offloading valuable members of the team in the process ie. Nolan (Barton).
The manager and co. are working their socks off early for a change and it’s looking really good so far.
117 Chief Tromboner // May 30, 2011 at 2:55 PM

133 JP...from The Rock // May 30, 2011 at 3:15 PM
NottsGeordie – That’s a top 8 team surely! We could also win a cup for once with that team. It’s very possible and it’s really down to what strikers and winger(s) we sign.
134 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 3:17 PM
Valencia are currently in the banks pocket to my knowledge so surely they arent in a position to match our offer? Not to bothered if we miss out of Gameiro plenty more frogs in the sea
135 NottsGeordie // May 30, 2011 at 3:17 PM
Quinnynufc
They are skint. They wont be able to match our bid unless they sell Mata

141 toonfan76 // May 30, 2011 at 3:21 PM
If the Gameiro stuff is from Cwarr0l and turns out to be true then he must have some sort of inside info.

143 NottsGeordie // May 30, 2011 at 3:22 PM
JackButler
We wont get Sow. He only just joined Lille last year so will probably have 3 + years on his contract. They dont need to sell so your probably talking 20 million plus.
144 JackButler // May 30, 2011 at 3:22 PM
toonfan76 he was the guy who said HBA was coming to us before anyone else new anything about it
145 Nufc_mo // May 30, 2011 at 3:23 PM

If we miss out on Gameiro, Then i think we should go all out for sturridge. What do you guys think?
150 quinnynufc // May 30, 2011 at 3:27 PM
sow would be amazing but lille wont sell

153 NottsGeordie // May 30, 2011 at 3:28 PM

154 quinnynufc // May 30, 2011 at 3:29 PM

gameiro over sturridge for me. both players great but sturridge would cost more on wages and fee
155 NottsGeordie // May 30, 2011 at 3:29 PM
JackButler
If there in the Prem probably 7 mill. If not 5 mill.
156 JackButler // May 30, 2011 at 3:29 PM
would take both Sturridge and Gameiro
157 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 3:30 PM
Would rather nab Long from reading than Sinclair from Swansea personally we dont need another winger if the Gervinho and Insomnia rumours have legs.
Totally agree NottsGeordie
158 connor_nufc // May 30, 2011 at 3:30 PM

But what if gameiro get’s his move to Vallencia
160 JP...from The Rock // May 30, 2011 at 3:31 PM
If we can’t get Gameiro then I’ll be very happy with Sturridge instead.
I would also love to see Sow here but with Gervinho I’ll be more than pleased.
161 JackButler // May 30, 2011 at 3:31 PM
NottsGeordie I’ve watched him 8 or 9 time this season, would like to see us make a bid for him, young british player, very quick with 26 goals this season
162 Nufc_mo // May 30, 2011 at 3:32 PM
100% agree toonfan,
suggested this a few threads back
We need an epl proven goalscorer…
163 NottsGeordie // May 30, 2011 at 3:32 PM
3 million for a ENGLISH LW that scored 20 goal and has about 4 years left on his contract. Why would Swansea sell for 3 million.

168 JP...from The Rock // May 30, 2011 at 3:37 PM
Oleg G – Is it really his birthday?
If loads of NUFC Fans sent him a Happy Birthday message I have no doubt it will have a positive influence on his decision to sign for us.
169 BigKirky // May 30, 2011 at 3:37 PM
Sturridge and or gameiro for me first choice. Id like Connor Wickham with either of those two. Sow would be far too expensive. Do feel for Lille a bit, all their best players will go and half their side will be left. If we get em, I won’t be too fussed
170 JackButler // May 30, 2011 at 3:38 PM
How good is this Barnetta????? not seen him play
171 davis_toons // May 30, 2011 at 3:38 PM

175 nick_9 // May 30, 2011 at 3:41 PM
Guys sow and sturridge seem a bit of a long shot and we aren’t gamieros first choice, if we don’t get any of them who else have we been stronly linked with or are rumoured to be interested in? Be nice if we could sign one quality striker then either one or two risky or young strikers from the championship or abroad.
176 free giveaways // May 30, 2011 at 3:42 PM
I think some people are getting a bit carried away with Barnetta. He’s a good player but some people are talking about him like he’s a world beater. I’d much rather have Gervinho or N’Zogbia.
177 Spaghetti legs Tino // May 30, 2011 at 3:43 PM

Apparently Valencia haven’t got the money to buy Gameiro which might put us in pole position because we’re offering the money up front. I really like him, think he’s a great finisher.
If we can’t get him other options might be; Sturridge, Defoe, Sow, Shane Long and Hoilett.

I’ve seen Barnetta several times.
Barnetta has 2 goals and 2 assists in 24 games this season.
N’Zogbia has 9 golas and 5 assists in 34 games, and he’s played in a really poor team.
N’Zogbia is quicker, more skillful, a better finisher and proven in the premiership, Barnetta isn’t.
193 NottsGeordie // May 30, 2011 at 3:55 PM

Through the whole January transfer window we rejected bids from Spurs of around 20 million. Then on the last day of the transfer window we rejected a 30 million bid from Liverpool but the Carroll asked for 80k a week so we sold him for 35 million. It had nothing to do with what day it was.

I have seen him several times, I know he’s hard working and a good passer, and good at set plays. But he averages a goal every nine games and he’s unproven in the premiership. There’s no way he’s a better player than N’Zogbia.
234 toonbelmonter(barnetta4nufc) // May 30, 2011 at 4:31 PM
hes not a goal scoring midfielder tho, that wouldn’t be his job, you need players who help the full backs, win the ball and are versatile and good in the dressing room, look m8 dnt get as rong zog is class n if we didnt get gervinho ad love him, but if we get gervinho well need barnetta coz hes a grafter n a fell with zog n gervinho youre leaving the full baks 2 bare, you could ask any leverkusen or switzerland fan n theyl tell you he is there most important player

from Club Call
Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton has rejected transfer speculation linking him with a move to Everton.
Barton’s future remains uncertain after Newcastle revealed they will not be offering him a new deal at St James’ Park.
Everton had been credited with an interest in the midfielder but Barton is adamant he has no desire to move to Goodison Park as he is keen to extend his stay with Newcastle.
The 28-year-old revealed via Twitter that he hopes to extend his stay with the Magpies and rejected links with Everton.
He Tweeted: “Finished playing golf, 72 not bad. Came in to questions about joining Everton???
“I don’t want to leave Newcastle but thanks anyways.
“I will tell all when the time is right, basically they want a younger, better, cheaper player…………cant blame (owner Mike Ashley) and (managing director Derek Llambias) can you?
“Slight problem is, they dont want to spend any money or pay any wages.
“It’s genius really ha ha
“I am an employee so have to be careful here.
“Everyone knows I’d love to stay.”

If we pull off some of these signings it appears we could be a really good attacking side, just hope we don’t forget that we have shipped quite a large amount of goals. Ah well, it seems we are going for the ‘you score three we’ll score four’ philosophy. Should definitely get bums out of seats with these players.

N’Zogbia works hard and helps fullbacks too. He played left back for us for a while remember?
As for Joey saying Ashley doesn’t want to spend money or pay wages, how does he explain Cabaye then? He just doesn’t want to take a big pay cut on his 65k a week.
241 JackButler // May 30, 2011 at 4:40 PM
Griffin you donkey
242 free giveaways // May 30, 2011 at 4:40 PM
We might still get Ashley Williams if Swansea go up, his contract is up, like Pratley.

free givaways a also remember zog sulk all game wen asked 2 like, n he duznt track back or word much wen hes off the ball
244 connor_nufc // May 30, 2011 at 4:43 PM
I think we shud go for jimmy kebe
245 Oleg G // May 30, 2011 at 4:47 PM
Reading’s players act like they just need one goal and they are in the PL hh…. Good for them I guess. But they should go rest.
246 CheickTiote // May 30, 2011 at 4:47 PM
So what’s the speculation like about Gervinho today? Is he joining?
247 nick_9 // May 30, 2011 at 4:49 PM
Kebe? Hope that’s a joke. He has done nothing this game. Routledge is better in my opinion
248 Drona // May 30, 2011 at 4:49 PM
jimmy kebe is like an english jonas gutierrez
249 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 4:49 PM
Swansea will be next seasons Blackpool they will play attacking football have the odd impressive result get loads of extra fans but will in the end go back to the Championship
250 Drona // May 30, 2011 at 4:49 PM
french*
251 JackButler // May 30, 2011 at 4:52 PM
CheickTiote – according to cwarr07 on twitter, Gervinho deal is done. Hope its true
252 quinnynufc // May 30, 2011 at 4:55 PM
i really hope so. cwarro7 is quite reliable
253 alip123 // May 30, 2011 at 4:58 PM
okay… next season, another trip to london, a trip to the urban dumping ground known as swansea and the inbreds… as long as the toon is there, so am i.
254 connor_nufc // May 30, 2011 at 4:59 PM
how is he reliable? He talks dung imo
255 Oleg G // May 30, 2011 at 4:59 PM
Go to http://www.facebook.com/Gervinho
Say happy birthday and tell him to come here. He will love it here!!!
256 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 5:00 PM
Job done Swansea welcome to the big league looking forward to you at St James…..to get ripped apart
257 JackButler // May 30, 2011 at 5:00 PM
connor_nufc – he was talking about the HBA deal last year and the Cabaye deal before anyone else new anything about them, so he seems to know whats going on
258 Baro // May 30, 2011 at 5:01 PM
welcome to EPL
SWANSEA deserve it!!!!
259 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 5:02 PM
JackButler
He only mentioned Cabaye after others had
260 JackButler // May 30, 2011 at 5:05 PM
i mean he was talking of the deals being done.
261 jaw4life // May 30, 2011 at 5:05 PM
If people doubt Cwarro7….
All i can say is that he broke the Cabaye deal on the 28th of May early on, detailing a 5 year deal.
Which is exactly what is being reported now on the 30th may.
Mark Douglas reported in Sunday Sun paper that he has signed on te 29th May.
If you still doubt Cwarr07 then i dont know what more proof you want that he has some sort of inside knowledge or contact.
Althought I am suspicious of the Gervinho deal as if he hasnt officially signed and its merely a verbal agreement then things can still change.
But I’m fairly sure that Cwarr07 wouldnt report it unless he had good word from one of his sources.
262 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 5:07 PM
Ah fair play then but he has claimed 3 100% signings recently and thus far 1 is odds on to come off….if all 3 become official then I will believe him more
263 MacToon // May 30, 2011 at 5:07 PM
Cwarr07 has already said N Zog is a done deal too so his neck is on the line for these 2 calls.
264 MacToon // May 30, 2011 at 5:08 PM
Yeah, 1 outta 3 so far.
265 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 5:09 PM
The commentator just said we ‘bridged the gap’ between Championship and PL…..we were always a PL team while we were in the Championship silly begger saying such things
266 JackButler // May 30, 2011 at 5:11 PM
WWJBD
agreed, i just want to believe the positives that are being said about the club. Can we officaily announce these deals before the window opens on june 1st??????
267 NI Toon // May 30, 2011 at 5:11 PM
Its being reported on a french site that Everton are in for Gervinho:
near the start confirmed Yohan Cabaye in Newcastle, Lille could lose another key player in the coming days. Northerner The club received an offer of around 11 million euros for Everton Gervinho. This is not the track that favors the Ivorian yet. He wants to play Champions League and would therefore prefer Arsenal or Manchester City. Tottenham private C1, would also likely still be of interest.
http://www.rmcsport.fr/editorial/163985/everton-offre-11-millions-pour-gervinho/
Hope not!!
268 Toon1978 // May 30, 2011 at 5:11 PM
Everton supposed to have bid 11 million euro for Gervinho.
269 jaw4life // May 30, 2011 at 5:12 PM
Yeh hes said done deal for
Cabaye,Gervinho and N’zogbia.
Cabaye is done, N’zgobia is abraod training for the Qualifiers so wouldnt have signed anything yet but he’s said its 8.5m pounds going up to 10mn and that agent and clubs have agreed.
He says gervinho is done for 12mn Euro….
We will see if these other two come off….here’s to hoping!
270 GeordieGerman // May 30, 2011 at 5:14 PM
Just managed to get in from work for the last 45 mins+ of the play off’s. Caught the new s that we have signed Cabaye. Great start. Anything else?
271 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 5:15 PM
JackButler
just dont set yourself up for a let down
no no so do I but I am still very wary of Cwarr
Everton have to buy players from selling players….they cant afford to buy anyone! They couldnt of afforded the 4mill for Barton that was reported.
ALSO Gervinho has already made up his mind where he is going so anyone bidding now is wasting their time…..lazy reporting imo
272 The Entertainers // May 30, 2011 at 5:15 PM
If Everton are the other team said to ‘be’ in for Gervinho, then I’m a bit more confident of getting him.
Fingers crossed
273 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 5:16 PM
GG
Apparently Valencia have offered 8mill for Gameiro and he is off there other than that nothing new
274 JackButler // May 30, 2011 at 5:16 PM
WWJBD
I’m used to being let done as a NUFC fan, comes with the territory
275 GeordieGerman // May 30, 2011 at 5:16 PM
Everton can’t pay up front. Newcastle can.
276 CheickTiote // May 30, 2011 at 5:17 PM
Everton offering 11M for Gervinho? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. They’ve barely got enough money to pay for the milk let alone a 11m winger, when they desperately need a striker.
277 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 5:18 PM
JackButler
Haha yeah but lets hope this window is a better one with surprises rather than disappointment
278 Andy // May 30, 2011 at 5:18 PM
I think Everton are selling Rodwell to Man U so will have a bit of money to spend. Think we’ll be the more attractive team to gervinho though with us having tiote and Cabaye now
279 GeordieGerman // May 30, 2011 at 5:18 PM
WWJBD, are you taking the micky? We can pay 10 mil up front.
280 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 5:20 PM
GG am just saying whats been reported mate….didnt say I believed it
281 toonbelmonter(barnetta4nufc) // May 30, 2011 at 5:20 PM
andy, rodwell is apparently in contract talk with everton so doubt hed go anywer this window
282 Widowmaker // May 30, 2011 at 5:21 PM
Even Joey Barton wouldn’t leave the toon for Everton, why would Grrvinho choose them over us
283 quinnynufc // May 30, 2011 at 5:21 PM
i will be very suprised to see gamiero at valencia. they are totally skint
284 boonarmy // May 30, 2011 at 5:21 PM
everton cant afford gervinho thay cant even afford the yaks wages, and i think well find out about gameiro in the next couple of days.
285 JackButler // May 30, 2011 at 5:21 PM
WWJBD
Hope so too, everything at the club seems to be in place now. Debts at a managable level to allow us to spend a fair bit of money, not a MA fan but just cant see him continuing on the same path we’ve been on fir so long, as i said debts are all but gone now time for a new era at SJP
286 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 5:22 PM
If Everton dont sell Rodwell and Baines then they will have no money for transfers in which case they are begging for freebies…again
287 GeordieGerman // May 30, 2011 at 5:24 PM
WWJBD, If I had the choice between Valencia and Newcastle. The sun, white beaches, hot women, exotic food.
Yeah Newcastle would will hand down.
288 Andy // May 30, 2011 at 5:24 PM
If Enrique goes swap Barton and a couple of mill for Baines?
289 toonruz // May 30, 2011 at 5:25 PM
lads i am not woried about everton ha ha i really think its british press trying to stir because they dont like to see nufc do well , this is the same thing that happend hba
290 nick_9 // May 30, 2011 at 5:25 PM
Have you seen the amount of people that cwarr has had to block recently. He certainly has a lot of doubters. If we really have signed zog and gervinho for the figures he stated then I’ll be the first to sing his praises but until then I will reserve judgement, Ashleys reign has turned me in to a bit of a pessimist when it comes to ins and outs and I can’t help but judge the guy. They say you can judge someone by the company they surround themselves with, if this is true then god help the bloke.
291 toonbelmonter(barnetta4nufc) // May 30, 2011 at 5:25 PM
mayb we cud lend everton owa young’uns, like kaz, tavernier, richardson n airey itll help everton and us
292 Widowmaker // May 30, 2011 at 5:26 PM
GG, the sun, white beaches, hot women, exotic food is good for holiday but not everyday. You will have a squad of MA pretty soon living like that
Seriously, wouldn’t be too upset as, after all, we could not offer Euro footy.
293 WWJBD // May 30, 2011 at 5:27 PM
JackButler
I very much agree, cant stand MA but he has done us some good. And his policy that the club has raise its own money for transfers has given us a brilliant standing this summer….specially if he adds some of the tv money to our Carroll money then next season we will of made money and bing more transfers things are looking good but my feet are firmly on the ground atm.
GG wey aye where can you find a good punch up in Valencia….where as in the toon just a short walk from St James you have the bigg market thats far more attractive than sun…and beaches…..and women….and food…..and even I want to go to Valencia now haha
294 boonarmy // May 30, 2011 at 5:27 PM
apparantly were not allowed to announce transfers from other european countries until the 6th of june so thats when cabaye gervinho and gameiro will be announced if we have them.
295 MacToon // May 30, 2011 at 5:29 PM
Widowmaker, I think GG picked the Toon because of it’s sun, white beaches, hot women, exotic food.
Not sure about the “sun” bit unless u mean the “news” paper
296 scdoty // May 30, 2011 at 5:30 PM
Guys just sent Gervinho birthday message, get on there.
Loads of Newcastle Fans already done it, bless there is even 1 Arsenal fan.
297 toonfan76 // May 30, 2011 at 5:33 PM
Also said happy birthday to Gervinho. told him to come play alongside his mate Tiote. Saw the Arsenal fan. Looked sad and lonely. Ha Ha Ha
298 GeordieGerman // May 30, 2011 at 5:37 PM
MacToon, you beat me to it. The beaches are more a grey brown rather than white.
299 MacToon // May 30, 2011 at 5:38 PM

309 Stuart // May 30, 2011 at 5:49 PM
So any UK transfers can be announced on Wednesday 1st, and international transfers on the 6th, is that right?
If so I hope we’ve got someone lined up from england so theres something to keep us going til next weekend lol.
310 Stuart // May 30, 2011 at 5:50 PM
Toonbelmonter,
Thats why we need abit of quantity aswell as quality. Hopefully we’ll either get in a few cheaper fringe players or the young lads can step up while any players are away at the ACN.
311 kevymartins // May 30, 2011 at 5:51 PM
Is nzogbia classd as uk?
312 MacToon // May 30, 2011 at 5:51 PM
Think I was a teenager last time I braved the north sea lol, a while ago now but our beaches are generally pretty nice and a good bit o surf too.
Anyway, I’ve got a feeling Barton has been dropped because we have someone coming in who won’t get along with him, just a gut feeling, maybe Sturridge
but that’d be just too good for our FM owner Ashley.
313 Toonfan8 // May 30, 2011 at 5:52 PM
Send msg to Kevin Gameiro facebook that we want him in our squad….Tell him, he will be our number 9…he is excellent finisher…20 goals every season if he comes
314 Stuart // May 30, 2011 at 5:54 PM
@kevy, I think so.
@toonfan8 – post a link and I will.
315 NottsGeordie // May 30, 2011 at 5:57 PM

Yeah N’Zogbia will count as UK and can be named from tomorrow

317 GeordieGerman // May 30, 2011 at 5:59 PM

318 NottsGeordie // May 30, 2011 at 6:00 PM
Stuart
Yeah i knew that
Does anyone know if the players of the season have been named. Everyone else seems to have theirs.
Whos was the Players player?
Who was the fans player?
319 toonbelmonter(barnetta4nufc) // May 30, 2011 at 6:03 PM
nothing will be confirmed for a while as cabaye hasnt signed yet, he sed he would after internationals, zog hasnt signed as it would have bin confirmed like norwich http://www.canaries.co.uk/page/NewsDetails/0,,10355~2367895,00.html n gervinho sed he wont sign till after his jolly holidays n international matches, am sorry lads just need to be patient
320 Stuart // May 30, 2011 at 6:05 PM
Isnt the next Ivory Coast match on Saturday? Thats the day after international transfers can be announced. Might not have long to wait for his decision.
321 JackButler // May 30, 2011 at 6:07 PM
i thought deals could be announced anytime just not officially registered until window opens
322 NottsGeordie // May 30, 2011 at 6:09 PM
JackButler
That was what i thought
323 Stuart // May 30, 2011 at 6:10 PM
Thats what I thought Jack Butler but surely Cabaye would’ve been announced officially by now if they could as the Lille manager and a few nufc players have already came out and said hes coming to us.
324 NottsGeordie // May 30, 2011 at 6:11 PM
Maybe its because the club doesnt want to confirm anything untill they are in the country and can have photos and a press conference.
325 JackButler // May 30, 2011 at 6:14 PM
Cabaye has to undergo a medical as far as i know, also there may be an agreement between NUFC and Lille not to announce anything yet, as any target that Lille have will go up in price if they know we’ve signed one of their players for a cash upfront deadl
326 toonbelmonter(barnetta4nufc) // May 30, 2011 at 6:14 PM
cabaye hasnt signed, nothing is finalized hes w8ing till after the france match
327 stephen1971 // May 30, 2011 at 6:26 PM

328 Oleg G // May 30, 2011 at 6:39 PM
Please go to Gervinho facebook page http://www.facebook.com/Gervinho
And tell him happy birthday and some nice words from us. Give the lad some good vibe. He is young, and needs the feedback. I am sure he will like to see so many fans of a team asking for him to come.
Already around 20 people commented on his page, keep it coming and put some LIKES there on the comments as well. NUFC fans are taking over Gervinho’s facebook page
329 GeordieJordy // May 30, 2011 at 6:42 PM
not sure he reads that page Oleg G…….
330 Oleg G // May 30, 2011 at 6:45 PM
And here is the page of Gameiro.
http://www.facebook.com/kevin9gameiro
Although I do not think he is coming. A player who already said he wants to go somewhere. I would prefer Gervinho, Strikers are easier to find I think, also, Gervinho has Tiote.
331 Oleg G // May 30, 2011 at 6:46 PM
first of all, why not. Second, it takes a second to write so again, why not and, there is nothing bad with trying.
Why do you think he doesn’t read it?
332 GeordieJordy // May 30, 2011 at 6:59 PM
I think it is a fan page, and i doubt he would be the one who created it, i have commented on it though
333 dave 1961 // May 30, 2011 at 7:21 PM
Vallencia are £500M in debt so i would be surprised if they make a signing, unless its 10 bob a week. on the never never.

336 Paul P // May 30, 2011 at 10:11 PM
heres who i think we should try and get to improve our team
Cabaye
Samba
Kyle Walker
The Zog
Daniel Sturridge
Kevin Gameiro
1st 11
4-3-3
Forster
Walker, Samba, Colo, Jose
Barton Tiote Cabaye
Ben Arfa Sturridge/Gameiro, Nzogbia
Would be a good 11 that, but can only see us getting 3 of that wish list which is cabaye, nzogbia, gameiro
337 Toon_Ksk // May 30, 2011 at 11:01 PM
Hoiliett will make a fantastic signing. He is the better version of Theo Walcott and can only become better. To be honest, seeing how he has been playing for Blackburn, he does reminds me of Messi.
338 Brutooon // May 31, 2011 at 12:09 AM
According to the sun, we are going to bid 7.25million for Berbatov

339 Davies // May 31, 2011 at 10:42 AM
Funny how people seem to have dropped more than half of the team that kept us up this season from their fantasy football teams for next season. We have a good squad that needs improving. Also, have a good look at Fraser Forster before putting him in goal over Harper and Krul. He has a lot to learn.
Admittedly, the players we are said to be looking at would walk into the first 11. I just hope we don’t throw that baby out with the bathwater and rip the heart out of the team….
For me, Sturridge would be the best possible buy of the transfer window, because he’s young, plays a position that desperately needs to be filled and he’s English. I’m Welsh (Cardiff, not Swansea), but even I can see that we’re basically turning into a continental club. No complaints if it gets results, but it does seem a little soulless.
