People regard Newcastle as being a badly run club, and shambolic behind the scenes but they're putting together a pretty impressive squad together.

Players like Siem De Jong and Darryl Janmaat are exactly the type of players that we should be able to attract IMO. If they can find a regular goal-scorer this summer (surprised they're not looking to keep Remy) they should be looking at top 8 next season.

like they did last season ?  it's only going to go one way for the self titled "greatest fans in the world......down hill...

Vlaar is worth, even with 12 months on his deal left, over 12 million following his world cup exploits. As such, I doubt he will be going anywhere, and certainly not to the twitchy nettle licker.

Benteke - would not even pass a medical at the moment, so that story is copmplete rubbish, and if he could pass a medical, would still be worth £25 million when you look at the prices being paid for the likes of Lallana and Lovren.

For me Vlaar's value should be calculated either by what relegation would cost us, or what we would need to spend to find a direct replacement. I think even £12m would be a bit too light.


The Vlaar ' speculation ' came from the FULHAM CHRONICLE .....Nuff said ! .................Godzvilla!
" QPR are set to bid £4million for Aston Villa's Ron Vlaar as the ideal partner for Rio Ferdinand "

On what planet will Newcastle come and take our best player? Seriously, who comes up with this stuff?

It does sound a bit far fetched.

However, I struggle to think of a club showing less ambition than us in the top flight of late.

I wouldn't hitch my career to that wagon if I were a player.

It's not up to the player. It's up to us. We've already shown that he'll only be sold when we want to sell him.

It's complete rubbish.

I was talking about whether the player would be interested rather than whether we'd sell.

Although to be honest, there's currently absolutely nothing in the way we are being run that makes me very confident.

No, not like last season. My point was about next season and the players they're buying now to improve them. Collback, Cabella, De Jong and Janmaat will make them much stronger and, I would bet, comfortably above us.

they may prove to be good signings and they might and maybe should finish above us......but while Pardew the twat is in charge my money would be on a struggle...

I hope you're right (and you're definitely right) about Pardew, but they are good signings. You've also got to factor in the improvement that'll be made by losing Shola Ameobi.

I'm amazed the 'World Cup star' Shola Ameobi hasn't been snapped up yet.

Chelsea have now signed every single current player who has ever played in the Champions League and then loaned out 95% of them. Feels like.

Now apparently were in for one of the greatest World Cup heroes of all time.

Step forward the all conquering Roger Milla.

Only the absolute confirmation of his real birth date by DNA  & carbon dating stands in the way of securing this deal.

Rumour has it that this should in fact be  12/7/86

1886 that is!

Looks like it's a done deal then.
