Hadrian 0 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) KEVIN KEEGAN has reacted to securing Newcastle United's Premier League status by moving quickly on the transfer front in an attempt to strengthen his squad ahead of the new campaign. And it is a sign of his intentions that the Magpies boss, who heads to West Ham tomorrow without any fear of relegation, is courting two players with a combined worth of around £40m. Newcastle's representatives have already met up with the vice-chairman of Dinamo Zagreb, Zdravko Mamic, and attacking midfielder Luka Modric in the hope of acquiring the highly-sought after player. But the negotiations are not going to stop there. Dennis Wise, Newcastle's director of football, has also renewed the club's long-standing interest in another of European football's hottest properties, Ajax striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. He first emerged on to the Tyneside radar when Glenn Roeder was in charge, with the forward's team-mate Urby Emanuelson also monitored. Since then Roeder's departure and the ill-fated reign of Sam Allardyce led to Newcastle cooling their interest, but now there has been a fresh move for the gifted Huntelaar. It is understood that there has been an enquiry for the 24-year-old from St James' Park, although Ajax are in no rush to sell having recently broadened their wage structure. The Amsterdam giants also know that with Manchester United and Real Madrid also in the hunt for his services, their £18m valuation could soar over the coming months is it christmass already ? cant see oba lasting the summer tbh .

Ally 0 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 We're going to be linked with every pricey player out there, but its exciting seeing the calibre they're linking us to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 22535 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 nice to see us being linked with players before the transfer window opens instead of the last week or two before it shuts as usual. it would be class if keegan manages to get most of his new signings in before they report back for preseason training.

Tooj 17 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Can you imagine if we never went on this good run of form? We'd probably now be getting linked with a bunch of cloggers from Blyth or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's class the old days of being linked with everyone are back, the thing with Keegan is some may actually come off. I'd really like to see Huntelaar here I'm suprised he's still in Holland tbh especially with players like Alves and Kuyt getting signed, still think he'll end up at Man utd or somewhere like that.
