Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa is a quality signing, heres hoping it will be him and Colo at CB. Would be a decent back four with good backup in Taylor and willo when we are bunted!

You said it mate if we can bring in sissoko now it will have been a cracking window! hopefully these signings will help keep benny and cabs here too!

Fair play to mike, he is supposed to be involved in the transfers now since we lost remy, and great to see us finally spend some money

Hearing Sisiko will more than likely be a pre contract

G.K.

Good move. Starting to get some CB depth now.

Good day with Mbiwa sown up and Gouffran saying he will be arriving.

Also Villa looked awful this evening. Great opportunity to get our first away victory next Tuesday.

Moneymaker

Lets just hope its not too little too late lads.

But its a step in the right direction. Still need one more striker.

They have another game on Friday in the FA Cup as well so we should be well rested and up for that with the new signings! Must win for both teams.

BArra

sorry im elated that willo can finally be dropped to the bench, that guy is a pure and utter liability

BetterCallSaul

See what Deschamps has had to say about our new signing :pac:

"I do not know if Mapou made ​​the right choice, we will see later.

"I think he had no choice. If Real Madrid, Juventus, Bayern were also in for him, I think he would not have chosen Newcastle. This can also be a springboard for him in the long run."

This guy can obviously play a bit then eh

It really does play into our hands really well.

All the more reason we'll lose, knowing this black hole of a club. :mad:

Found this quite odd

A French international footballer is allergic to grass, a French newspaper says.

Yoan Gouffran, 24, who places for the French Ligue 1 club Girondins de Bordeaux, was revealed to have the allergy in French daily Le Parisien.

His coach, Jean Tigana, said the allergy was "embarrassing".

"He would have (been better to) play on synthetic pitches in Nancy or Lorient."

Gouffran's troubles with the pitch started when he joined the Bordeaux team, Goal.com reported.

The former French under-21 international is known for his speed and dribbling skills, and had a successful stint with Ligue 2 club SM Caen, helping it gain promotion to Ligue 1 in 2007.

He continued his good form during the 2007/8 season with Caen, prompting interest from English club Arsenal.

But he chose to move to Bordeaux in 2008 instead.

Gouffran has to play 36 of 38 games this season on grass, and was ordered to see an allergist to get help in managing his disorder, Goal.com reported.

Just read a users comment on an Mbiwa article:

"Think France will just manage to stay in the PL this season".

BetterCallSaul

Osvaldo Coloccini, currently a youth coach at San Lorenzo, believes a resolution must come quickly.

"Fabricio is very anxious, he wants a resolution," he explained.

"I think that it's the moment for him to return to San Lorenzo. We want him to come back.

"In the last few hours, Newcastle have bought a defender but that means nothing because they were looking for an option in that position anyway.

"At Newcastle they are telling him to wait until May but the thing is that I don't know if San Lorenzo are going to be able to wait until then."

San Lorenzo manager Bernardo Romeo added: "We need a central defender. We are waiting.

"Let's have faith in that the transfer will be done, otherwise we will have to go out and look for another central defender."

Is this guy for real? We really want your defender, we have no money, but could you please hurry up and give him to us for free.

San Lorenzo should be reported to FIFA for this.

TaosHum

Interesting to see what he will do with Gouffran considering he can play out wide and up top.

San Lorenzo are a joke. Talk about trying to unsettle a player. I actually haven't read too much about what Colo has said. He doesn't seem that desperate to leave really.

TaosHum

Lee Ryder ‏@lee_ryder
San Lorenzo have now confirmed on their website: "Finally, after long negotiations,we announce that Coloccini will not join the squad" #nufc

Looks like Colo is staying!!!

Vurnon San Benito

Not exactly jumping with joy over this news.
While I'm happy he's not going to San Lorenzo - an unhappy player isn't very ideal to have in the squad.
Wonder how this is gonna sort itself out?

Wife might come to Newcastle Upon-Tyne?

He's been excellent in the last few games though. If it means Williamson isn't anywhere near the team for the next 15 games, it can only be good news!

Must agree mate but i hope he is professional enough not to throw a wobbler

does anyone know for sure what happened?

Was it his extracurricular activities?

Nah, his wife is ill AFAIK. Very understandable him wanting to be with her. Unfortunate, but hopefully some middle ground can be reached between himself and the club.

Chazz Michael Michaels

It's good to have him, tbh. They probably assured him he can leave in the summer.

The wife been sick is just a rumour though, there's another rumour around Newcastle which suggests it may well have been his "extra curricular" activities that made her leave.

I find the ill wife story hard to believe. Surely he would of been granted a few weeks leave at the least to go and see her or something.

Seemed to be more about his father completely unsettling him and a transfer to San Lorenzo.

Really cant see Colo behaving anything less than professionally TBH. Does not strike me as the type to pull a strop

on the extra curricular activities, he may well have taken some of the fans up on the offers that are sung from the stands

Oh Coloccini you are the love of my life
oh Coloccini I'd let you shag my wife
oh Coloccini I want curly hair too.

Re: #MoussaSissoko. #NUFC have 99% secured him as a player. Still unclear whether for Jan or June.

They've got everything spot on so far Hopefully we get him in this window!

He's at the training ground according to Sky Sports, so I'm hoping that it means he will knuckle down till the summer.

French @le10sport reporting #NUFC have agreed €2.5 fee with Toulouse for Moussa Sissoko. He will sign 5-and-a-half year deal in this window.

TaosHum

Hard to know what to make of that. Really hope its true. RMC Sport are also reporting the same story.

Debuchy, Sissoko and Mbiwa in this window for under 15 million :eek:

"Newcastle is a club that attracts me, even if it has not a good ranking currently, but I am not scared by that," he told L'Equipe.

"I trust that group considering what they achieved last season. Moreover the officials have invested a lot on quality French players. They will have better results in the second part of the season.

"All those Frenchmen is reassuring. I know them well and that would help me to adapt."

While other clubs such as QPR have shown interest, he says they are not as attractive a proposition as Newcastle.

"QPR? I am a little less attracted. There are also good players there, but the situation is much more complex. However I don't close any door," he said, also adding he would rather move to England than stay in France.

"Marseille and Monaco? They are still attractive. But I would prefer to discover Premier League. It is the league that should match my football the best."

Sign him up.

What did I say about keeping the faith this window lads?

Sterling work on the transfer front so far, with hopefully one more after Sissoko to come.

I won't jump with joy over sissoko until he is holding a toon shirt and smiling
