Newcastle may yet shock us all today, and rather than just moving players out of the club, we may find we have a player coming in, and it’s not one for Peter Beardsley’s Development squad either.
Daniel Wass – 25 year-old versatile player
We have been linked today with a deadline day move for Evian’s 25 year-old Danish International full-back Daniel Wass, who can also play on the wing and in either full-back position.
And since Davide Santon has moved out on loan to Italy, it could it be that Newcastle have actually thought this one through and are bringing in a replacement for the Italian.
That would certainly shock Newcastle fans, but it could also be true.
Daniel has 11 caps for Denmark and played for every one of the Danish Youth sides, and he moved to Evian in June, 2012 from Benfica, so it looks like he’s been watched by Graham Carr and his scouting team.
Wass has played 135 times for Evian after leaving Benfica, where he never played a first team game for the Portuguese giants.
Daniel also has impressive 27 goals with 12 assist, so he is a productive player indeed.
Wass stands 5’11” tall and started his career at Brondy back in 2007, and he played 99 times for the Danish club with 10 goals and 7 assists – again a good return in goals and assists from the player.
Evian paid around £2M for him from Benfica, so he likely will not cost too much more than that to move to Newcastle United.
That’s right up Newcastle’s street, since we like to sign players for low fees and sell them for high fees – very much like what you try to do with stocks and shares to make money.
This lad could be a very decent signing for Newcastle.

Would prefer a CB if anyone did come in.

Comment #12Confusion over Santon’s move from Newcastle to Inter
Is Davide Santon’s move from Newcastle to Inter Milan dead in the water? PA’s Damien Spellman gives us the latest update:
“Santon was closing in on a move to Inter Milan and was undergoing a medical, while confirming his move on Facebook. However, the club said no deal had been agreed and then Santon deleted the post.
“Then the clubs agreed terms, before Santon’s partner, Chloe Sanderson, said on Twitter she was ‘disgusted’ at how Santon had been treated and had been ‘pushed out’.”
Those tweets have been deleted and the move remains incomplete.

Comment #13Kaboul being allowed to leave, surely we can arrange a loan spell. He’s a darn site better than Williamson.

Comment #14So let me get this straight, by shifting santon out the only defenders we have got fit are.
Janmaat
Haidara
Colo
Williamson
if we don’t get anyone in, i do hope none of these players get injured, you can see things are bad when you hope collo and Williamson don’t get injured.

Comment #15“And since Davide Santon has moved out on loan to Italy, it could it be that Newcastle have actually thought this one through and are bringing in a replacement for the Italian.”
That would involve stalling the Santon deal, until a deal for Wass was agreed. So, no.

He still has three games before his back goes, then he will be off to San Lorenzo to recover for four weeks.

Comment #21With no CB brought in we’ve got to see Good be given a shot. He can be no worse than Williamson in ability and might actually be a lot better.
It would be satisfying to see him hold his own and nail down a place.
Also wondering if the club regret the deal for Lascellas, hardly played this season for a poor Forest team. Does not bode well at all.

Comment #23Just a few problems with the Wass deal.
1. He does not appear to be near the end of his contract, meaning the club would have to pay the amount of his current value.
2. The club trying to negotiate a price for the player.
3. The club trying to negotiate a wage with the player.
4. Getting him to Newcastle AFTER all of the above has happened.
5. Getting him to pass a medical.
6. Convincing Ashley after all of the above has taken place, to sanction the signing.
Yep, by the amount of time it would take to go through all of the above processes, he will be available on a free.

Comment #25I watched Good in the cup games when he was on loan, and he looked very good. He is better with the ball at his feet, and can head the ball better than Williamson, he is also quicker, (but then my mobility scooter is quicker than Williamson), so if Good is fit I would have him in the team now.

Comment #26The full tweets. So a naughty wife has spilled the beans on the clubs intentions. Not shocked obviously because most knew what the agenda is and always will be. She’s just confirmed the suspicions.
She tweeted: “Disgusted with the way Davide has been treated, fully fit for a while now with no chance to play, a club whose only intentions are to make £££.
“Newcastle as good as told him if he stayed he didn’t have a place in the team.
“They tried to deny it this morning to keep it on the down low….
“So other teams wouldn’t put in an offer for JUST a loan because Davide would have preferred that…
“To stay in the Premier League but Newcastle would have lost the guaranteed buy and money.
“They are a business, not a club. And as long as they keep losing players with the passion Davide had..
“they are killing NUFC and killing the support from the fans who stick around after all the sh+t”

Comment #30AC The club have previous with Carroll, although Andy gained massively when he did go to Scouseland, he was in the driving seat but originally didn’t want to leave ….. This whole scenario unfortunately has and will happen too often even when Fatfreddy was in charge.
At least all the money gets reinvested……oh wait????

Comment #31Jeff,
He had a knee injury translates into his knee is shagged? If they knew it was prohibitive to him long term, why would the club buy him back given their chief physio was at the club when he had this injury. As was another physio that is still with Inter. None of that article backs up your theory.

Comment #32AC
I commend lady Santon for what she sent out on social media, she’s not only speaking as his partner but she’s speaking as a fan. Unfortunately the usual MA whores will justify it with drivel like Jeff comment of Santon knee being a ticking time bomb or something along them lines.
players sign non disclosure agreements not wives. I bet we would have wanted to sit on that news until late evening, around 10ish and then say we had no time to replace.
Finally what is the point in getting rid of Santon and bringing this fella in? It’s not like Santon was starting

Comment #38The Toon paid for Santon to go to the States to be treated by a specialist they use .Maybe he’s fixed now and Inter feel some sort of obligation
As I stated in a previous post a big chunk of Santon’s wages was covered by insurances.
The deal is quite generous for Inter , no money to be paid until Santon has played 14 games

The Denmark international has been watched by Toon chief scout Graham Carr this season.
Newcastle have made inquiries to Wass, who was close to joining Schalke last week.
Wass was linked with Manchester United before Christma

Comment #40So a player gets pushed out of the club in order to make savings even though the squads a shambles and we are short of defensive cover but it’s ok? it’s wrong that his family is annoyed? Have I missed something?
Usual ashleyalites spouting drivel trying to condone it. Funny that isn’t it. The people who continually back the regime to the hilt are the ones saying it’s no big deal that we are LOANING another defender out, leaving us shorter than we previously were.
Excellent business that. I can now see why they love him so and he’s the best thing to ever happen to the club.
Some cheers for fatty. Hip hip hooray. Dont forget to wave those spreadsheets at the next home game. Gutted I don’t go anymore, it sounds so exciting.
