I'm not a fan of macheda either.

Sochaux have confirmed they have received a bid from #Newcastle for striker Modibo Maiga

bazual

Anyone see that news that Stoke have opened discussions with Chelsea over a potential loan move for Romelu Lukaku. I think he would be ideal for newcastle.

That_Guy

Rob Elliot (Charlton goalkeeper) having a medical at SJP... So says @CaulkinTheTimes via Twitter.

All go.

Not sure about Maiga though tbh. I've never seen him play so can't really comment. Just hope it works out should we get him.

Very excited about the very real prospect of Santon though. Bargain at £5 million.

That_Guy

As for players going out....

Ranger - Blackpool apparently interested. Don't want him at the club anymore. Chap is poison.

Smith - Any takers?? Anyone????

Lovenkrands - Wouldn't be too disappointed to see him leave to be honest this window to be honest but only if the Maiga deal gets done first.

Also... What happened to the tapping up allegations by Charlton and Sochaux? :rolleyes:

Ranger - Blackpool apparently interested. Don't want him at the club anymore. Chap is poison. Only if the offer is right(was in trouble with the law there recently again tho so prob worth f** all) Loan him or Airey out to the Championship for a year might be a good move.

Smith - Any takers?? Anyone???? What happened to Leeds being interested! Surely we can compensate them on the wages, need him off the books.

Lovenkrands - Wouldn't be too disappointed to see him leave to be honest this window to be honest but only if the Maiga deal gets done first. Ach i'd keep Lovenkrands, he offers a different style to Best/Amoebi, only Ben Arfa and Vucknic can do this job, one could be an injury crock and the other is untested.


Why is it always the last few days!!

Raoul

When is Ben Arfa back.

Just thinking when is the last time we had such a good start to the season? 0-0 against arsenal, beating sunderland and fulham. Its three very good results

That_Guy

Gav86 - Airey went out on loan to an SPL side about a month ago.

Blackburn tickets went on sale today for members.

Only 1 poxy ticket allocation whereas for the Arsenal game I had 2... What the fook is with that?

Cheers, never heard that at the time, probably trying to stay away from the Barton saga.. he's with Calderwood at Hibs, hope he does well..seems to be only making the bench at the moment tho

Yeah. Doesn't mean he's joining Wolves if you think it does.
The NUFC reserves are playing Wolves tonight..

@dannysimpson12 have nufc signed a left back yet ....

Hopefull Danny will be honest enough to tell him that we need a right back aswell..

This could be a brilliant signing.

I think its if we get Maiga then Sochoux will go for Gradel. I don't think nufc are interested in him.

Actually Sochoux were only willing to part with Maiga if they got Gradel (or another replacement) but now Gradel has gone to St Etienne, so looks less likely we will get Maiga.

Great news about Santon though!

bazual

@nufcfans

#NUFC confirm the signing of Charlton Athletic goalkeeper Rob Elliot, for undisclosed fee - on a 5-year deal.

Vurnon San Benito

Not sure why we need him to be honest.

Would much rather a decent striker holding the B&W up tonight!

What are we missing here? He's not even Charltons First choice (in and out of the side),

and has no squad number for us (yet). Look out Ole!

Delighted with the Santon deal, could be a cracker, Jose who?

That_Guy

Santon is a potentially brilliant signing.

Elliot on the other hand is just baffling.

Come on Pards, get the fookin' finger out and get us a striker.

Paully D

Who will Newcastle make a phantom bid for in this window to try and convince the more gullible fans that they've tried to get someone in? My guess is a £50m bid for Higuain at 10:59pm

The black sheep returns! Where have you been hiding/drowning your sorrows? :P

I would not rule that out, posted something similar earlier in the thread

Wish Pardew would scupper the Fulham bid for Bryan Ruiz. He is a bargain at just over 10 million. Quality player and Tiote would probably have an influence on him after being teammates.

£10 million for one player... over the age of 23????

LOLUMAD?

He is a year old than Dzeko at 26 but I think he is a better player than Dzeko. Never gonna happen I know but wishful thinking

repeatedly hitting my head off the desk to make IT go-away!!

this last day striker search rieks of Albert luque! but maybe it will end up with us buying a player of the quality of Owen(without the injuries and the mney grabbing, pony loving attitude)

Please god say it isnt true!!

Supposedly we put in a bid of over 10 million for Papiss Demba Cisse which was rejected as they wanted close to 15mill.
He is same age as Bryan Ruiz, there is still a hope lol

bazual

Anyone else concerned that it is worryingly quiet

That_Guy

*sigh*

Just get it fúcking done. We probably could have had Cisse for £10 million in June/July but because it's the last day clubs are always going to push up the price when teams start getting desperate for signings.

EDIT:

@nufcfans via Twitter:

#NUFC are planning to hijack Fulham's move for FC Twente striker Bryan Ruiz with a £10.6m bid. (Dutch voetbalprimeur.nl) #NUFC #fb

As always lads, take it with a pinch of salt.

Paully D

Ruiz would probably rather move to London anyway. Perhaps not though?

Thats probably the rumour I started LOL

ctrl-alt-delete

Sky breaking news that Newcastle have indeed matched Fulham's offer for Ruiz, and offered better personal terms, also have a chopper standing by if he wants to head up the North East!

How much is true only time will tell!

I guess we'll find out the answer to this question now. Is another LW/CF what Newcastle need at the minute? Will he work as part of a front two?

That_Guy

We've put in a bid for Liam Ridgewell according to SSN. Would be decent cover for CB which is what we need. Wouldn't mind getting in Ruiz, Bassong on the cheap and Macheda on loan.

bazual

Not giving up on Ruiz, have to use the Jedi mind trick I used earlier that got Pardew to make the bid.

"You WILL go to Newcastle Ruiz!!!!!"

That_Guy

This whole thing stinks to high heavens.

Piggy backing on a bid that won't go ahead. Why not make a bid this morning?

Club will come out with the usual, "we tried but in the end it just wasn't to be" type shít.

I'm hoping that this isn't the case but it's the only outcome I can see happening.

I think you are winning me around to your thinking, its all smoke and nothing is gonna happen. Disaster, need a striker badly

That_Guy

We've had to move the helicopter in London. FFS. :rolleyes:

90 mins. Cue stupid bid that'll get rejected any minute now.

So basically what I was told at 5pm was correct and late bid for Ruiz was just the usual "we tried really hard bid but couldn't" story #nufc
