Is this Tony Jimenez the scout? Would a billionaire business man commission a scout to do his business? Especially if it involves the sum of £260m. No. Scouting for potential buyers tbh

I agree with this. (Unless she is not of legal age to get said bee stings out then it's just sick) 1989 suggests we should be alright!

Aye, they'd cancelled Neighbours. They moved it to BBC2 mate.

I'll be down as a maybe.

Deschamps got Monaco to the Champions League Final.

Fans drag down shamed Leeds

I agree with this, I do think Everton will be next to go Well, Everton would cost less than us, but they don't have a ground like us and need a new one. Newcastle also have a massively superior brand name, for instance the one club city, Newcastle brown ale, and bigger support and at the moment anyway, they can appoint any manager they please. Fear is that someone good would come along and bid less than Ashley wants and they bugger off somewhere else, like Everton. Everton have won titles in the past, nine league titles they've won which is more than us and the mackems, Chelsea and Spurs. However, no one really classes them as a big club in the modern game. Their fanbase is very much on the decrease, 20 years ago, Everton had more fans on Merseyside than Liverpool, because of the fickle nature of new football fans, Liverpool seem to be garnering a lot of young fans in the area these days due to their success and big umph factor than Everton. They are dying as a club. If you look at realistically across the country, would you say Everton are in the top ten supporters in England? I certainly wouldn't. It's not like I'm stuck in the North East, when I'm working in London I see fans of every club, you come across so many toon fans in London, and I'm not just saying it, Fulham away there's as many southern accents in the toon end as geordie. Everton have a mediocre fanbase, and it's largely centred on Merseyside which is the most deprived area in Britain. Their most expensive tickets are THIRTY FOUR QUID, they have three executive boxes, they've just come fifth in the league and last week they had only 34,000 paying people there. Now if they put prices up to our level, which I believe are extortionate, I think they'd struggle to get 25,000. I know an Everton fan, and he agrees the prices are low because it's in a very deprived area of the country. Liverpool's match going support, 40% of them aren't from the area so they can cope overall with higher prices. I think of all of the clubs Everton would be the worst investment, you might get them for £150m less than us, but you'd have to build a new ground which would be full twice a season, and be stuck with a mediocre fanbase, and a club who the media just are not bothered about. It's true what people say about them, they're just plain old Everton. If I was an investor they'd be the last team I would buy. Now every point of listed there for Everton, is 100% different with Newcastle, in everything apart from their four extra trophies, they are incomparable to us even at this stage, and I think anyone that's been involved with Newcastle knows we have fulfilled not even half of our potential on and off the park. That is absolute poppycock and you know it. Liverpool do have a very large world wide fanbase but the majority of match going reds are from the L postcode area. The percentages are slightly more than Everton, but still pretty much in line in line with both clubs attendances. Why do you continue to make up things up, your lying is quite pathetic now? Out of the last 70 years Everton have only had a higher average than Liverpool 14 times. That’s 14 against 66. Yes, that's 70 years, not 20, you stupid numbnuts. They don’t come much more hypocritical than you. One minute you tell everyone that Newcastle is supported by 99% Newcastle people, and here you are getting quite horny about having so many Southern speaking Toon fans. A football club is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, and Everton have a lot going for it in terms of a buyer coming in. They have a world wide fanbase, not nearly as big as Liverpool and Man U, but big enough. They have two sites offered by the city council for a new ground and they have a great history and tradition. A new ground would see any investor, willing to wait a few years, gaining a good return on their money. Building a new ground where there is almost guaranteed planning permission is very attractive to big money investors. I admit that being in the same city as Englands most decorated club is a bit of a drawback for investors, but not to very rich Arabs as it can be overcome, much as we did to Everton when Shanks built his dynasty. Liverpool will cost around a billion for Dubai if their deal ever comes off and they build the new ground, that must make you feel really sick. If you wrote your little piece as some kind of wind up, I'm afraid you've failed, it just comes across as your usual lying bollicks and blind belief that Newcastle is the biggest club in the world. Try and learn from Park Life, he's an excellent WUM because he does it with humour and intelligence.

Robinho's career at Manchester City has not got off to the smoothest start following his switch from Real Madrid. The Brazilian stunned football by making a £32.5m move to Eastlands and not, as expected, to Londoners Chelsea. However, it appeared the 24-year-old's deadline day move had still to sink in when he said: "On the last day, Chelsea made a great proposal and I accepted." To this a reporter replied: "You mean Manchester, right?". "Yeah, Manchester, sorry!" answered Robinho.

Keegan 33/1 to be next manager

Burn Baby Burn Xisco Inferno

Another post with an instant edit You mackems are even shite at wum'mery

mackem wum tbh

Where's that coming from Nick? Guess "The word coming out of Argentina is that Aimar is a canny playmaker"

Flying to England on Monday to discuss a takeover with an English club. My money is on Everton since their chairman effectively whored them out yesterday.

He must feel like he's in the wrong place if he's in Newcastle, since he flew out for U21 duty yesterday.

Xisco? Gonzales? Ones on loan and one signed before any of this stuff kicked off... Oh yeah because i'm sure everything must have been fine on Monday.....

Xisco? Gonzales?

Ghana star Stephen Appiah has admitted moving to the Premier League would be a 'dream' for him. The 27-year-old former Juventus star is available on a free transfer after leaving Fenerbahce last month. Appiah is keen to secure a move to England and has held talks with a number of interested clubs, but West Ham confirmed they were in negotiations to take him to Upton Park. The 27-year-old former Juventus star is available on a free transfer after leaving Fenerbahce last month. Appiah is keen to secure a move to England and has held talks with a number of interested clubs, but West Ham confirmed they were in negotiations to take him to Upton Park. Arsenal are the latest club to be linked with Appiah as they look for midfield reinforcements, while Portsmouth are also believed to be keeping tabs on the powerful midfielder. Appiah has told skysports.com that talks are ongoing with interested parties and that he is hoping to win a move to England. "There are contacts, there are talks - I can't say anything yet," he told skysports.com. "I am not going to put people off, my agents are talking so I have nothing else to say. "My dream is to play in the Premier League and with the help of God, I will realise that dream."

If that email doesn't convince him mate, nothing will.

KEEGAN STAYS .co.uk EWCASTLE United can confirm that meetings between members of the Board and manager Kevin Keegan were held both yesterday and today. Kevin has raised a number of issues and those have been discussed with him. The Club wants to keep progressing with its long-term strategy and would like to stress that Kevin is extremely important, both now and in the future. Newcastle United values the effort and commitment shown by Kevin since his return to St. James' Park and wants him to continue to play an instrumental role as manager of the Club. For the avoidance of doubt the Club has not sacked Kevin Keegan as manag

I'm on Radio Newcastle at half 5 as a caller. What should I say

TBH IMO none of our central midfielders are good enough to occupy it on a full time basis. That's why I was hoping for a Barton + cash swap for Diarra last night. That's some wishful thinking there No, my WISHFUL thinking was we'd kidnap someone like Essien when no one was looking and give him a fake beard and hope no one would notice

TBH IMO none of our central midfielders are good enough to occupy it on a full time basis. That's why I was hoping for a Barton + cash swap for Diarra last night.

Thats what i'd go for Since when has Barton been a DM? Total myth, presumably borne out of the assumption he can tackle because he goes around chinning people. He's not a DM, but he's better than Guthrie and Butt in that position for me, and I have doubt as to how long Geremi could play in that role. I'd say both were better there. Geremi possibly is too. The role is the exact opposite of what Barton is good at imo. Butt is still decent there imo and he's more disciplined in that role. Guthrie's a bit different in that he won't be as combative there but he'd read it well and pass the ball well from that position, a bit like Carrick does. All, imo, obviously but of the central midfielders at the club I'd probably pick Barton last to play there (haven't seen any of Gonzales tbf). That's the beauty of football, differing opinions

SPANISH ace Xisco has spoken of his delight after completing a "dream" move to Newcastle United. The 22-year-old penned a five-year deal at St.James' Park as he jetted in to Tyneside on Monday before linking up with the Spain under-21 squad ahead of this weekend's Euro qualifier in Kazakhstan. But before dashing off to Newcastle Airport the striker spoke exclusively to nufc.co.uk as he revealed his excitement at the challenge which lies ahead. "It is a great feeling to be here and to have signed for Newcastle United," said the former Deportivo dangerman who netted 12 times in 44 games for the La Liga outfit. Article continues>> "I have waited for this opportunity for a long time in my life and I want to show the people of Newcastle what I can do - it is a dream for me. "I love the Premier League and I think I will be suited to English football because it is fast and physical. "I am a quick player and I'm also strong, it is ideal for me. "Now I must go to play for Spain under-21s, but I am very much looking forward to returning and meeting all of my new team-mates."
