Christmas Tree 4728 Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Well the Sunday Suns Mark Douglas (who seems to be the journo with the clubs ear at the moment) says that it will probably be a very quiet week on the transfer front with Llambias and other key staff away on holiday. Would have thought with season tickets going on general sale that all sorts would have kicked off this week. Have to wait and see I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4728 Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 NEWCASTLE UNITED have turned down a bid for captain Kevin Nolan from West Ham United – according to sources in London’s East End. The Toon captain was the subject of a £3m offer from the Hammers last night, with his former Bolton Wanderers boss Sam Allardyce keen to be reunited with Nolan at Upton Park as he looks to lead West Ham out of the Championship at the first attempt. Yet if the failed United boss harbours any hopes of capturing Nolan he must up his bid for whom Newcastle paid £4m in January 2009. Both Nolan and Allardyce – who is also understood to have an interest in Joey Barton – helped transform the Trotters from a Championship play-off outfit into European material until Big Sam’s departure in 2007. Nolan recently rejected a new deal with the Magpies, but the paltry initial bid for the Scouser was always likely to be knocked back given the 28-year-old’s contributions this season which resulted in 12 goals – one more than England star Wayne Rooney. Nolan will turn 29 this month but was a key figure in uniting the dressing room in the aftermath of relegation and is keen to remain on Tyneside to see out the peak years of his career. Yet with United seemingly unwilling to have players in the 30 plus bracket on long contracts, it appears that Nolan’s hopes of a long-term deal are slim unless he is prepared to take a pay cut. This was underlined by confirmation that Alan Smith will be allowed to leave on a free transfer this summer, while Barton has already been told there is no new contract offer on the table for him when his current deal runs out next summer. But despite reports, when Big Sam was asked if he was interested in Smith, he simply replied: “No.” Meanwhile, United seem set to miss out on one of their long-term targets in Lille star Eden Hazard – and the French champions today underlined their determination to hold on to Ivory Coast star Gervinho. We confirmed on Monday that their Lille team-mate Yohan Cabaye will arrive on Tyneside by the end of the week. The Chronicle understands that Newcastle scouted Hazard during the second half of the season and were blown away by what the 20-year-old Belgian had to offer, but his astronomical price tag of £21m would take up the majority of Alan Pardew’s transfer kitty. And should Lille not succumb to offers from Arsenal and Bayern Munich, the exciting attacking midfielder knows that his current club can guarantee him Champions League football. Gervinho – also linked with the Gunners and Liverpool – has kept his cards close to his chest. And his manager Rudi Garcia said today: “Hazard should stay, for me. He will learn more and improve again. “In an ideal world, Gervinho would do the same with a new contract as he has one year left. “The chairman and I are of the same mind, we should keep the two.” Hazard netted seven times last term and provided nine assists in 37 games, while Gervinho bagged 15 in 34 matches and made eight assists. United are still waiting to hear if their bid for Neil Taylor of Swansea City has been accepted. But one player the Magpies will not be moving for is out-of- contract Swede Seb Larsson, with Sunderland understood to be lining up the midfielder. Sunderland also have a big interest in Charles N’Zogbia but, as we revealed on May 19, the Frenchman is keen to return to St James’ if the Mags can come to an agreement with Wigan.

Craig 6682 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 £16M???????? The world has gone mad! Future 1st choice England centre-half IMO - possibly even the captain. Think £16m may turn out to be a relative bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I think people, me included, are still finding the transition from paying for proven talent & class to paying for potential a bit strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakehips 0 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I think people, me included, are still finding the transition from paying for proven talent & class to paying for potential a bit strange. The 'English' factor must surely be part of it all? Good and English (I don't know if it has to be English or British will do) = more expensive due to the new regs coming in? As for Jones, I just heard 'appy 'arry, the cheeky cockney charmer, saying he reckons he could be a future England CB & captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33267 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 joe cole anyone? Nope. Even when he was 'good' he was so vastly overated. A bit like Parker who went from being 'Scott' Parker to good old 'scotty' Parker and being lauded all through pulling on an 'appy 'ammer claret & blue shirt.

Christmas Tree 4728 Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 Well, Ashley, LLambias and Pardew all at St. James today according to twitter so hopefully a good day on the transfer front. Cabayes expected in to sign and attentions will turn away from Gameiro following his announcement last night that its a two horse race between PSV and Valencia. Would like to think the Zog deal gets done and Gervinho gets ruled in or out. Then lets concentrate on a really good proper centre forward. Interesting day hopefully.

Guest alex Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 If it was £12m I don't think it's as bad as people are making out. I.e. we got him for nowt and peddled him for £6m-ish (shame Ryan Taylor was part of the deal like) and we'll be getting an improve player for a (net) fee of around £6m. I don't actually think it'll happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7034 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 He telt us to fuck off when we were in a better state than we are now. He's still a £6mil player imo. Worth twice as much as Ben Arfa??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeForce 0 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) I think it is a decent bit of money but its an exciting prospect I must admit with him and ben arfa in the team. Maybe not a lot of consistency but on their day both can be world beaters. I you then have tiote and nolan and cabaye behind with one main striker I think that is the dogs bollocks tbh EDIT: Nolan or Barton, one will most likely leave Edited June 10, 2011 by GeeForce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6603 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 He telt us to fuck off when we were in a better state than we are now. He's still a £6mil player imo. Worth twice as much as Ben Arfa??? He fell out with Kinnear. Thats the reason he left. I'd welcome him back. He may be a little shitbag but he is a good footballer.
