NEWCASTLE’S striker hunt has hit another snag after Paris Saint-Germain confirmed they want to keep United’s top target Mevlut Erdinc.

 

The big-spending Ligue One club scotched speculation that United have had a £6.5million bid for the player accepted – saying Newcastle are yet to table any offer.

In another twist in the long-running saga, PSG have poured cold water on suggestions that a move for Erdinc is gathering momentum.

 

While United’s interest remains, it increasingly looks like they will have to go elsewhere if they are to add a striker before the big kick-off in a fortnight’s time.

A PSG spokesman said: “The fax machine is on, the door is open, but no-one has made a bid.”

 

 

So if The Sun are to be believed, we are now chasing after Jermaine Defoe? It said if the Erdinc deal falls flat, that would be our next target. Yeah, right...there is more chance of Defoe coming to us then Daley Thompson being my grandmother

Parsnip: "Melvut Erdinc? No, no, no, it's not him we've been scouting. It's the lad Melvin Nurding at Rushden & Diamonds we've been tracking."

To be honest the way we've been handling ourselves the last few weeks the mackems actually have something true to laugh at rather than 'mag at work' fiction.

 

The club are a disgrace.

There’s no way the club will sign Charlton Cole and Defoe.

Man City spent almost half a billion.

According to Spurs accounts they made a cummulative profit on player sales thick end of £130Mill between 2005 and 2010, but I'm sure that website is correct.

NEWCASTLE United have opened negotiations with Tranquillo Barnetta as they look to move on swiftly from the Joey Barton Twitter controversy.

 

On a day when the errant midfielder mischievously hinted on social networking site Twitter that he could defiantly remain at St James’ Park if the mood takes him, The Journal understands that United have stepped up their interest in Switzerland winger Barnetta.

 

Unlike the failed deals for Mevlut Erdinc, Kevin Gameiro and Gervinho, the player himself is keen to join Newcastle – and if a fee can be agreed with Bayer Leverkusen, the transfer could be completed within a matter of days.

 

That would surely seal the fate of Barton, whose agent Willie McKay claimed the player was in negotiations with a club in the North West yesterday.

 

Several Premier League clubs have distanced themselves from a move for the player, though, who has considerable baggage and whose Twitter missives have not gone down well with several interested parties.

 

Celtic, Aston Villa, Stoke and Arsenal have been credited with an interest and are free to talk to Barton without Newcastle’s permission after he was made available for transfer.

 

What is certain is that Newcastle’s long-term interest in Barnetta is moving on apace after the deal went cold earlier in the summer.

 

He is one of a handful of Continental targets being considered by the board as they look to emerge from a tough week by winning some credit back.

 

It has been a busy and tumultuous seven days at St James’ Park where the club has been engulfed by a familiar feeling of pessimism and fan unrest following the developments with Barton.

With Jose Enrique also heading for the exit door – although a fee has not been agreed with Liverpool yet – the squad is looking weaker than it did at the start of the summer, which is unthinkable given the club’s previous assurances that they would spend the Andy Carroll transfer window on boosting player resources.

 

But The Journal understands that further reinforcements will be recruited before the end of the window.

 

Another intriguing possibility is the arrival of England goalkeeper Rob Green from West Ham in a deal which may see Fraser Forster move in the opposite direction.

 

Alan Pardew (pictured below) – a former Upton Park manager – is a big fan of the Hammers stopper, and while some reservations have been expressed about bringing in another goalkeeper when United already have three, the Magpies boss is under-stood to be pressing for a deal which would see an England international arrive at the club.

 

While Newcastle will be bringing in reinforcements before the end of the transfer window, Erdinc will not be joining from Paris Saint Germain. The Magpies have called time on that deal after it became fraught with problems.

 

A fall out with his agent and an inability to agree terms after initially being given positive signs by the player, have meant that United are no longer pursuing the Turkey striker.

 

Newcastle also have no interest in Shane Long at this stage, despite some glowing reports from United staff members who have watched him in action for Ireland recently. The Reading striker is the subject of interest from Leicester.

 

Pardew is this afternoon due to talk to the media for the first time since the Barton controversy blew up, but the club are determined not to engage in a war of words with the player, fined two weeks’ wages for his criticisms of the board.

 

He is free to leave for no fee but took to Twitter yesterday to claim he may stay – in among posting quotes from former American President George Washington.

 

Barton, who was in London yesterday, posted: “Just because ur [sic] told to jump, it does not necessarily mean u have to. I may choose to stand perfectly still. It's my right...just a thought.”

Tell you what like, when you think about places we need to strengthen, goalkeeper springs to mind as a top priority. Fuck me gently.

[Dr Gloom 21797]

You couldn't make it up

Striker, goalie, LB, RB, CB. In fact everywhere but midfield. Until Barton goes and we need a RW too.

 

Oh lummee.

[Barney 0]

Fucking hell-

 

Linked with England International(!!) Rob Green!

 

Erdinc deal dead(we never made a bid)

 

Enrique on his way to the dippers and Barton being forced out.

 

[trophyshy 7066]

Dropped interest in Merdinc too.

 

Sammy's been knocking a few in, they'll have thought 'fuck it, why spend?'

If we are genuinely after Rob Green I may just kick the fuck out of Pardew if I bump into him down the shops. He has little say on what goes on but rather than put all his weight behind signing a decent player in a position we lack depth when asked who he wants to sign he gives the name of a shit, old goalkeeper.

 

Arsehole.

[Park Life 71]

Clanger prone.

[jaythesouthernmag 0]

Glad the Erding deal is dead, we need an out and out striker which he isn't. Rob fucking flappy hands Green, please don't let this happen. Left back,right mid,defence cover. We need to strengthen these other areas first.

Arsehole.

And what would you have done otherwise? Said nothing? Congratulated him on being an average manager? Bin off kicking the fuck out of him, one swift headbutt to the nose will do the job, and teach the fucker to stand up for himself.

At this point I'd have only gobbed at him.
