We see Adrian Mariappa is starting the game for Watford at Milwall tonight in the Championship.
Adrian Mariappa – starts at Milwall tonight – means no deal?
So that hardly gives any time for the player to complete a move to Newcastle, if indeed he is to come through the door at Newcastle before 11:00 pm tonight.
The game will finish at around 9:45 pm, which gives a little time for him to do get a medical and to sign the contract, but it must now look very unlikely he will be joining Newcastle tonight.
The news on both Sky Sports and in the Daily Mail is that Watford agreed a fee with Wigan Athletic for the player, but Adrian did not want to join the Lancashire club, and the news being reported is that he really wants to join Newcastle.
But of course that will not happen unless Watford and Newcastle reach an agreement on the fee, and with the lad starting at the New Den in 15 minutes time, that must not have happened.
But you never know of course, and maybe if a deal is reached he will be substituted during the game, then rush off and get a medical in London somewhere, and sign the deal. 😀
But if a deal was imminent, surely he would not have started this game.
Maybe nobody is coming through the door tonight at Newcastle.
Comments welcome.

Comment #8Oh see i stirred up some people before, I was asked by zebra to give my opinion on something and I did but looks like im not allowed an opinion.
For the record im a 41 vyear old season ticket holder who was born in south tyneside and my tree can be traced back for generations im no bandwagon jumper.
I have been to the vets with my dog for those interested.
As I said i was asked my opinion and gave it if I upset any sensitive souls I will happily give yuou a cuddle at the game tomorrow night or at any home game this season! xxx

Comment #11If a fee is agreed with Watford and personal terms are agreed with his agent, the player can have his medical tomorrow.

Comment #17@JB
Hehe, aye, i’m not disagreeing, again, massive gamble.
It could cost us Europe, or we could end up where we were expecting to end up. Top 10.
Huge loss tho if it’s the backup CB that costs us Europe. I hope it won’t be the goals that are lacking.
We’ll be able to measure that towards the end of the season.
Obviously it’s a gamble they’re willing to take.

Comment #31Lynxie no offence mate but i moved to Yorkshire as a result of my dad moving here when I was a kid he needed a job you see and the Power Stations were 70’s answer to call centres.
Life would have been easier supporting leeds like all my mates and I would not have got bullied for wearing a newcastle shirt in the early 80’s.
Like I say you guys are as entitled to your opinions and I apologise if some thought mine were extreme but hey ho thats the problem with living in a democracy i guess freedom of speech its called.
Im glad you all love the best club in the world I really am.But i am entitled to my opinion without thekeyboard warriors shooting me down

Comment #40Pardew being in London doesn’t add up for me.
He would surely be with the team the night before an away match.
Marvin Sordell has been left out of the Watford squad after the owner asked he be removed.
Lovenkrands + £2 million?
Ooooohhhhhh I doing the rumours now
