Alan Pardew has come out today and said that three transfer deals are being worked on by the Magpies at the moment, and we could take a decent guess at who those three players are.
Mathieu Debuchy – one of three transfers Newcastle are working
Two are long term targets, Mathieu Debuchy of Lille and Douglas of FC Twente, with the news today that London clubs are also interested in the 24 year-old Brazilian center-back Douglas.
The London clubs are hardly on the same level as Newcastle United (come on), but if the Brazilian wants to live in London, we suppose there could be an attraction there.
But Newcastle also offer European football this season , and of those three clubs interested, we would expect that Douglas wants to join Newcastle – and that’s a completely unbiased opinion. 
The other player Newcastle are interested in is obviously former Newcastle youngster Andy Carroll, and we’ll have to see how that situation develops.
But Mike Ashley and Derek LLambias have shown in the past to be master negotiators on transfers, so we ‘ll just have to be patient and wait and see.
We’ve seen the comments on the blog of perhaps Newcastle having to take a step back to accommodate Andy, and that Newcastle will start to play high balls into the middle again.
But the way we look at it is that it gives Alan Pardew another option up front, and a different option from Cisse and Ba, and that’s why we think manager Pardew is so keen the bring Andy back home.
This is what Alan Pardew told The Evening Chronicle today:
“Any big player or good player that comes to the table, we need to be involved in it.” “We need to know what is going on.” “What is the price? Can we do it, can we afford it? If we can’t we go somewhere else.”
““We want the best quality players and at the moment we have three possible transfers actively being pursued in terms of bids and trying to get a deal where the other club gets what they want and we get what we want.”
If Newcastle can pull off those three deals, we’ll be in great shape, and maybe the only new player we need to bring into the squad would be Vurnon Anita from Ajax, who seems just dying to join Newcastle.
Of course a £4M bid for Moussa Sissoko, who seems to be available from Toulouse, as we reported earlier today, wouldn’t be a bad initial move either.
He’s a very good player, who only today has become available and come to the table, so Newcastle need to now understand what’s going on, to use Alan’s words above .
What do you think?

SSN hoillett to qpr very disappointing like turning down champions league with and europa league with us for a pay cheque really qpr struggle this season something very dislikable about that club….
4 XtraTimeAndPens // Jul 19, 2012 at 7:12 PM
Debuchy, Anita and Douglas, with a striker to follow later hopefully. Fingers crossed we can get some new faces in soon. I think we’re one of the few big clubs who haven’t brought in a top signing yet. But, of course, they do say that good things come to those who wait. I just hope we aren’t left worrying about bringing players in on deadline day like we were last summer. Although, as we know, that worked out in the end.

Google Translation of Jesper’s article:
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew confirmed that there is activity related to getting picked up more players into the squad.
Premier League club Newcastle will try to maintain the good momentum of last season’s impressive fifth place gave, and so manager Alan Pardew started to find reinforcements for his squad.
- We will have to be there when the big players come to the table. We need to know what happens, what the price is whether we can do it, and whether we can afford to do it. And if we can not help, then we must look for other opportunities, says Pardew to The Chronicle.
- We only go after the best players, and currently we have three possible trades going. We try to get a deal in place where all parties will be satisfied, says Newcastle manager.
Players like Andy Carroll, Mathieu Debuchy, Vurnon Anita and Douglas have all been linked with the northern English club.

27 rich_toonfan // Jul 19, 2012 at 7:41 PM
If he has him cup tied playing tonight that drives down his price for all clubs in European competition, won’t pay as much for a player who can’t play every game.
Hoilett is disappointing. Very over rated but would have been good and a chance to improve the team. Shame he went for the money, be ok if qpr were showin ambition but they aren’t looking good.
They are a good few seasons behind us even with their money.
28 Beattie25 // Jul 19, 2012 at 7:42 PM
Why would Hoilett want to play in a stadium with over 50000 fans when he can perform in front of 12 cockneys who’d much rather be watching Chelsea?

I refuse to believe Hoilett would rather go to QPR than us, but then again I don’t know his motives and we have seen QPR don’t mind paying out £ 70k for a player
44 jeraziah // Jul 19, 2012 at 8:11 PM
£4m for Moussa Sissoko? You got to be joking. He’s probably going to go for at least double that amount.

Yup, Barton being one of em.
It’s a shame that money can rule people like that. But if QPR continue those signings, they will implode.
We’ve tried big money signings, how far did that get us? It got us relegated in the end.
Mark Hughes and his board has no regard for what type of personality a player is, they just want him cause he’s good.
Look at the QPR team if they sign Hoilett.
Barton, Hoilett, Tarabt and Cisse… All 4 are “bad boys”. What a joke they’ll be. 4 potential red cards in one match.
I’m telling u, they’ll struggle.
48 darrenfletcher88 // Jul 19, 2012 at 8:14 PM

Our initial bids for all the players we’ve been linked with. Piss take or feelers?
Are we purposefully submitting insulting bids to unsettle players or do we actually believe that these bids might be accepted?
Is anyone else naked whilst they’re typing??

52 m1c4a3l // Jul 19, 2012 at 8:17 PM
Could of done with someone like Hoilett in the team simply depth springs to mind, Never mind plenty more fish in the sea. I am fed up of the rumours of NUFC almost wrapping up deals or involved in deals, this is exactly where the disappointment comes from for the like of these players. I wish they would just release stories when they have signed.

For me they are candidates as well for relegation. They seem to just sign players randomly or out of frustration.
Look at last season and look at where that got them.
But I’ll give Hoilett the benefit of a doubt for now
55 Beattie25 // Jul 19, 2012 at 8:22 PM
I don’t get all these insults regarding Hoilett.
It was either Cabaye, Tiote, Ba, Cisse, Colocinni, Ben Afra, Krul etc…
Or it was Derry, Anton Ferdinand, Heider Helgusson, Barton, Green, Ryan Nelson etc…

Wouldnt be suprised if there following Graham Carr around Europe.
66 Beattie25 // Jul 19, 2012 at 8:30 PM
Hoilett has now priced himself out of any footballing future.
He had potential but that is only a word and playing at the b and q car park stadium will stifle his progress and when (not if) QPR struggle he will want to leave but his reputation as a mercenary will precede him and the top clubs will steer clear due to his greed and his lack of progress at QPR.
Mark my words he will play for about 7 clubs and finish his career in the UAE.

70 JP...from The Rock // Jul 19, 2012 at 8:37 PM
I think it’s great we are such an ambitious club. No more are the days of doubt for me under Mike Ashley’s reign. He is proving now more than ever his commitment to the cause and we are aiming high in attempting to break the usual top 4.
This team is getting bigger, better stronger and hungrier to be a success. We are on the up and other clubs are now aware of the threat we pose.
I am LOVING IT!!!!!!
The future is Black and White and now we’re starting to live the dream again.
Bring on Debuchy, Douglas and the big boys we’re on for a European Adventure!!

Deciphering JP’s message I think he is being held by Somali pirates and this is a plea for help.
Taking every third letter from the fourth word it reads ‘I need the s.a.s. Please find mr. Cameron (pm) and tell him to find me’.
Unfortunately for JP the British government much like the management team at nufc will not be held to ransom.
Sorry JP and good luck.
Anyway we are going to get relegated and sell our est players.

120 RobertNufc25 // Jul 19, 2012 at 9:55 PM
Oh ryt haha
Obertan defo shagged his missus or something
121 Black White and Read All Over // Jul 19, 2012 at 9:55 PM
I’m defo of the opinion that the debuchy deal is as good as wrapped up after he publicly commited himself wanting to join the Toon, the quieter it is on that front the better… until he signs of course, Douglas is a beast of a man with a short fuse, but who better from him to learn from than Captain Colo, he is only 24, the crux of the squad is bang on imo and what we are looking for is to move forward and you do this by creating competition (which we are doing) driving up the performances to boot.
Personally i’m sooooooooo excited at seing the kids come through next season, we have been investing in youth since Ashley came in with the emergence of the ‘development squad’ now starting to bear fruit, Bigi was bought for the DS but by the looks of things he looks like he has the potential to be fast-tracked into the first team as does Abied who only arrived last season, Vuckic has unfortunately had some silly and niggly injuries which has held him back a little, I did expect him to come through last year but was good to see him go to the Championship and get experience with Cardiff, and then there is Sammi, the unknown quantity, I havent even mentioned Tav, Ferguson, Streete (who looks very, very impressive) and Moyo (lightning quick and very direct), these kids are ready to step up and gain experience or go out on loan, so in summary 2/3 stellar signings in the priority areas is all that is needed and if they don’t come Ill not be too worried because there is always January and even though we done magnificently last season, I think we will be in a transitionary period for at least until the end of next season when we can finally off-load the Xisco kid and we have finally rectified the last of our high profile bloomers (excluding Ranger because his salary is not really causing too many issues… he is just a waste of space)
122 MagpiesFlyHigh // Jul 19, 2012 at 9:56 PM

123 Londtoon // Jul 19, 2012 at 9:56 PM
If the french trialist is Anthony Koura… thanks to our friend goggle translate on the Le Mans website here are his stats:
2009-2010 Le Mans B: 3matches – goals
2010-2011 Le Mans B: 20matches 8 goals
2011-2012 Le Mans 1st team: 7 matches -goals.
19 years old and played at all junior levels for French team.. If the trialist is him and keeps knocking in the goals perhaps worth a punt if we can get cheap enough

Be very surprised if many of the development squad players make a 1st team impact this coming season. It was made clear the club were going to improve the quality of youngsters hence the likes of gael b, good, amiltifano and this newly linked trialist being courted to join the club.
It is good as someone said that this side of the club is being improved however would not get to excited of them making big impacts this season as some suggest.
Players to challenge for 1st team places are what is needed in LB, RB, CB, CM and ST to be viewed as a challenge to the top 5 clubs.

189 breno95 // Jul 19, 2012 at 10:48 PM
What is so obvious?
The club we all support in one way or another was on it’s way to financial ruin under the reign of Shepherd. If it was not sold who knows what would/could have happened. Quite possible it may have faced a similar scenario being faced by rangers today.
Mistakes have been made but relegation in a way was a good thing for the club and since then you will have seen and experienced nothing but improvement on and off the pitch.
What do you, me and everyone else call the ground at which our team plays?
MA decision to give the stadium a name is purely to increase revenue only.
We have posted the best set of accounts in the EPL and are savvy when it comes to transfers.
Overall the club is in a good position and being ran in a way that will stand it in good stead for a long time to come.
So unless you are a billionaire or you know one on a personal level like it or not your stuck with MA for a while yet.
I do believe that if things continue in the same way as they have done since delegation MA will be the man in charge that sees the clubs drought of silverware.

Well I’ll get on the case, there are times where I do think he has some sensible things to say and comes across as very pleasant but there are other times he has episodes and goes off on one. During silly season it is more understandable though.
I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiments that season blogging is much more pleasant than close season blogging as at least we have football and meaty discussions to dissect rather than tear strips out of each other.

Sad to hear GG had to change his name he had some decent posts.

Thank God you put that in capitals. I would have struggled to read it otherwise.

Agreed …. …Boater…where are you ?
Ah reckon Spuggy has it .. sure we had this discussion b4 and Spuggy was pretty much the longest surviving blogger if u know what I mean..
GeordieGerman changed his name…but seems to have disappeared since … maybe another name change ?
242 Sholadona // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:23 PM
Does Brutooon still post anymore? I seem to remember he said he’d quit if Shola scored another goal last season, then he scored against Sunderland!
243 hotdog // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:23 PM
Im also suprised at the eloquent vocabulary of the geordie nation (oh god ive morphed into sir john hall) although Tsunki is obviously a mad professor
244 Spuggy // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:24 PM
I’m still an avid reader but don’t post so much these days as the blog was being taken over by a bunch of morons- you know who you are.
It has improved over the last few months though I may enter the fray again soon.

No one said it made them better, some one was just wondering who had been here the longest. Although JP is a decent contributor to be fair.
246 Zero // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:25 PM
Darn it looks like i was wrong about who the trialist was… crap so wanted it to be Yancy lol
also someone asked who i was before i was Zero… *dramatic music* i have always been Zero
247 Spuggy // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:25 PM
Ed closed the blog I think when we were relegated to focus on other things then brought it back on through popular demand.
248 pardews plan B // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:26 PM
Gg still appears once in a while
249 steve // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:27 PM
Bruuutoooon is a blog legend. His shola hatred paved the way for the likes of Indian magpie, plan B etc.
250 Ruddy Marveaux-lous // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:27 PM
Sorry spuggy…if I leave will you come back?
251 MagpiesFlyHigh // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:27 PM
Mactoon
I’m sure I had a late night exchange with Solano and he said he was in Lima ..said it was a great city and there were a few Toon fans there…..might have been someone else…can’t recall who else it cud have been though.
252 MacToon // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:28 PM
TDS, ok I missed a wink off after that line…..
253 Spuggy // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:28 PM
It was the negative Pardew and HBA crowd who eventually finished me off.
Where are they now?
They were disgusted in pardews tactics and the fact he left out HBA. It got really boring in the end so I decided to boil my intestines instead.
254 Tsunki // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:29 PM
sholadona – brutooon was a masterful lesson in suicide. He actually promised to eave and never come back if Shola scored versus the mackems, so supremely confident he was that it would never happen. But it did. He did pop up sheepishly once or twice but was always reminded of his oath.
hotdog – when did i get my degrees? I missed that. Must be the insanity. I’m off to do some rocket surgery, let me know when Mathieu is stepping of the bus at Eldon Square.
255 Spuggy // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:29 PM
I think most of the neggars (as they were refered to) have dissapeared or post infrequently now.
Not saying anyone on this post is a moron.
256 Jail for Ashley // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:30 PM
Sholadona,
I remember Brutoon saying that and totally unconcerned posting a couple of days later,I think he had a couple of goes under different names but his poor spelling,grammar and stupidity shows him up.
257 MagpiesFlyHigh // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:30 PM
Brutoon is still with us occasionally but tends to keep his trap shut after Shola scored…was only off for a couple of weeks
258 hotdog // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:31 PM
steve – so what you are saying is that some posters have had to enter some sort of Blog protection scheme after being forced off this site!! Poor things
259 MacToon // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:31 PM
mfh, I can assure you that wasn’t solano who has battled a few times on here, maybe there is another similar named blogger from Lima, maybe they play the trumpet too lol.
Tom_Toon, Toon Chicken, hitman, oh man so many too mention I’ll stop now…………..
260 steve // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:33 PM
Blog protection scheme. Classic
I’m off got an early start been good chatting lads enjoy
261 ToonDownSouth // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:33 PM
Spuggy – It’s too late to backtrack now. The paranoia’s already setting in.
262 JackButler // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:33 PM
Just read your health update Ed, brilliant news
263 GeordieToon89 // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:33 PM
I am GeordieToon89 and this blog was my idea
264 Big Pappa Cisse // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:34 PM
IMO Carr,Ashley,Llambias and pardew are the only people that truly know our transfer dealings. I do believe Debuchy is a genuine target and like with Cabaye last summer our intrest is well publicised and will eventually happen, but other than that we will only know about a signing when they are having a medical at Benton or holding a shirt aloft at St.James park. And don’t be suprised if we sign some more under the rader gems.
265 ToonDownSouth // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:35 PM
Mac
How did you campaigning go? Or have you taken a break from it lately? You’ve barely posted in so long, I haven’t had the chance to ask (:
266 Jail for Ashley // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:36 PM
Spuggy,
I used to be what people referred to as a neggar,although I’m not a fan of the word it made me laugh when somebody posted where is the likes of Jail for Ashley now that we’re doing well.
267 Munster Mag // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:36 PM
Hey lads LISTEN UP ………Munster Mag has JUST BEEN INVITED, by ALAN SHEARER, to watch a Newcastle home game sometime this season – probably soon. My sisters partner has just had dinner in Portugal with Barry Moat. Moat was told all about me , the sad Toon fanatic in Ireland, and he rang Shearer. So now my sisters partner has Shearers mobile phone number and we have all been invited to meet the Toon team in Portugal on sunday. I cant make it, although i will be in Portugal, but on a package elsewhere, with 2 kids etc……..MEGA ….Not a word of a lie …I’m walking on air…!!!
268 Spuggy // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:36 PM
It’s funny how now there’s nothing negative to moan about they’ve disappeared. They’ll be back as soon as a wheel falls off.
I can see the headline now: Debuchy feels Cabaye tackle during first day in training.
269 hotdog // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:37 PM
steve – im following you mate – well not literally or youd be shi**ing yourself haha – goodnight folks
270 deanmactoon // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:38 PM
dnt care bout douglas ive seen him play a couple of times and hes luked dodgy i must admit..sakho or simion kjaer for me apparently wolfsburg wnt rid of him before august tink i read it sumwhere
271 Spuggy // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:39 PM
@ TDS
Feel your pain, I haven’t left the house since Pardwho-gate
JFA difference between negative and realistic
272 Spuggy // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:41 PM
I know hitting the refresh button 100 times a night won’t make us sign anyone faster, but I just……can’t…….help it.
White space theory.
273 Jail for Ashley // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:41 PM
Spuggy,
Thats not true mate were still here but why moan if things are gonig good.
274 Tsunki // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:41 PM
Spuggy –
goodnight students.
275 Toonfan_Ew Ew // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:42 PM
I see that Douglas has just come out and said he wants to stay. Even from when he said that there were bigger clubs than Newcastle chasing him I’ve questioned why we’d want a player who sounds like he’d only give a half hearted performance for a team like us. His attitude stinks. Let’s try for Sakho…
276 GeordieToon89 // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:43 PM
Munster Mag – happy for you mate hope Big Al follows through with that, if he doesnt let me know I have his full address, i’ll go and give him a knock and have a word with him
277 Spuggy // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:44 PM
nite Tsunki
278 Jail for Ashley // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:44 PM
Spuggy,
Two different words and thousands of opinions,not just as simple as that.
279 Spuggy // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:44 PM
JFA
Fair enough, and long may it continue!
280 MacToon // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:45 PM
TDS, there was a very succesful night at Newcastle Labour club just a couple of weeks ago with the “St James’ Park Always will be…” group and raised over £1200 for the Charlie Crowe Scanner Appeal, not bad. The Ska Toon played, John Anderson and the Newcastle Ladies team attended.
Been attending alot of the NUFCFansUTD meets which has been an eye opener and has given us and others a direct link to the club.
Ofcourse it’s a quiet time, we’re all waiting and hoping for a succesful transfer window, still issues but I think there always will be even if we won the league, CL and both cups in one season
281 jesperfuglsang // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:48 PM

He doesn’t really ring a bell :-/
@JB
Welcome back mate…long time no see
282 ToonDownSouth // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:49 PM
Mac, Ah that’s awesome to hear. Glad to hear it’s going well. There’s always issues, and whether it’s an ‘Ashley out’ campaign, or simply providing fans with more of a voice, it’s a really positive thing. Good luck with it all.
283 GeordieGerman // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:49 PM
I think this is AP saying to other clubs/agents. “Dont play with us.” Good one Alan/Mike.
284 Munster Mag // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:53 PM
GeordieToon, thanks a mill mate, chuffed to bits. WTF is going on with Debouchy and Douglas. Beginning to wonder if MA and LLambias are the great negotiators that they make themselves out to be. Maybe Tiote and Cabaye’s prices were one offs??
285 MacToon // Jul 19, 2012 at 11:55 PM
TDS, that’s one thing I’ve noticed since attending the meets, there are always issues and however small they may seem they are obviously important to that individual or group and FansUTD try and represent all fans as best they can.
There is some good things happening which unfortunately are still a bit hush hush…..! but it’s to do with the name SJP, red tape makes some things so bleedin slow.
286 shamsoftabriz // Jul 20, 2012 at 6:00 AM
Option 1: Andy Carroll. 23 years old. 6’3″, can head the ball, cannot pass, cannot press, cannot keep the ball, generally clumsy, record of making foolish decisions on and off the pitch.
Cost: 13-15M
Option 2: Luuk De Jong. 21 years old. 6’2″, can head the ball, can pass the ball, can press, can keep the ball, very skilled, no record of making foolish decisions on or off the pitch.
Cost: 16-17M
Which do you think Ashley will choose?
287 shamsoftabriz // Jul 20, 2012 at 6:04 AM
And why not go in for Dempsey? He’s a relentless worker, skilled, etc. He’s a bit older (29) but he’ll do just fine for a few years.
288 Turkish Geordie // Jul 20, 2012 at 8:32 AM
Days passing on and no transfers sealed , it’s getting frustrating , how can you chase a player ( like Debuchy ) & can’t tie up a deal like f****n 3 or 4 months ? Don’t get surprised if Pardew starts talking like when we sold Carroll ( i over the line stuff )
