Toon in fresh talks over signing Turkish star NEWCASTLE United have held talks with Galatasary over their highly-rated Turkish international midfielder Arda Turan. It is believed preliminary discussions with the Turkish side's president Adnan Polat took place at the end of last season. However, United were informed Galastasary would not accept less than £13m for the 21-year-old. Newcastle are understood to value Turan at around £8.5m. However, with the European Championships due to start on Saturday, and Turan's stock likely to rise even higher if he was to have a successful tournament, Newcastle officials have been back in touch. They had hoped to get an outline agreement on a deal ahead of this weekend's kick-off in Austria and Switzerland, but while sources in Turkey claim the latest talks were more positive than the first, a compromise is still some way off. Newcastle are refusing to be held to ransom but their desire to make Turan the club's first signing of the current transfer window is beginning to show.

Six Florida teen girls lured a former friend to a home and ambushed her, taking turns pounding on her face and body for 30 minutes until she was unconscious as someone videotaped the violence, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office. "Shocking, I've never seen anything like it," Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said. "They seem to have absolutely no remorse at all. I don't understand the sheer violence." Investigators said the victim apparently posted something against the six girls on MySpace before she was lured to the home by a phone call from one of the teens. Police said the girl traveled to the house and walked into the trap. One girl met her at the door and five others were hiding in a back room, detectives said. The girls were then seen on video pummeling the girl in the face and body and slamming her head into a wall. As the videotape rolled, a girl's voice is heard yelling "There is only 17 seconds left; make it good." Police said the girls wanted to post the video on YouTube and MySpace. "'There is only 17 seconds left; make it good,'" Judd said. "That is animalistic behavior and it is pack mentality. They lured her there to beat her and beat her. They left her with a concussion. We have photographs of her with two black eyes; her nose is swollen." The girl was taken to a hospital by ambulance and treated for a concussion, damage to her left eye and left ear, and numerous bruises, the report said. The girl can no longer see well out of one eye and hear from one ear. Police said two boys stood lookout outside the house during the beating. Some of the girls accused of being involved in the attack were on a cheerleading squad at a local high school in Lakeland, Florida. Judd said he wants the teens tried as adults. The six girls and two boys face battery and false imprisonment charges. NSFW http://www.tampabays10.com/video/16x9/?aid...3&sid=77707 NSFW
