    Because rumour is all we are going to get!


    This morning we have Marv and Cisse deadline day departures:

    Still trying to waste time saying we're trying to sign Grenier:

    Jim White ‏@Sky_JimWhite 30m

    Newcastle United's deal for Clement Grenier is not completely dead, as they ponder over increasing their bid to £10 million. #NUFC


    Can't get Grenier so we're after Djuricic:

    http://www.oneworldsports.com/stories/newcastle-interested-benficas-filip-duricic


    No we're not:

    Graeme Bailey ‏@GraemeBailey 6m

    Newcastle sources have told us that they are not looking to sign Benfica's Filip Djuricic today.

    If you look at Pardew's quotes, we have ONE target - Grenier - and that's it, there is no-one else. So assuming that's dead, which it quite clearly is (Lyon/Grenier/Agent don't want the move), it's destined to be a long, tedious "told you so" from the nay-sayers.

    Grenier wants to stay and try and get 3rd place in French League so giving him Champions League football. Something we are never going to be able to offer under you know who.

    Hey, how about Ravel Morrison? We tried to sign him from United and he appears to be available from West Ham on the cheap?

    We could make Mod Face's day and go for Scott Dan - apparently he's on the move.

    which United would that be, Leeds United, Rotherham United, Torquay United?
    I thought it was only the media that used the term United when referring to the Salford Reds.

    So if Cisse goes by the end of the season our remaining strikers will be two loanees (Remy will not stay imo) and a **** player in Shola. The rebuilding process in the summer could take alot of time and money.

    aye is it, bigger than what some fans seem to think.
    chances are that Remy will probably not stay, Shola wont be offered a new contract and Du Jong has to prove himself before we buy.
    we're going to need 2 or even 3 strikers in the summer before we even start with the rest of the squad.
    sleep walking.

    I did actually post about this a week or two back; it may be that we're reaching a zenith as a club, which may even spell the end for the current owner.

    Rumour has it that Joe Kinnear has woken up, having pressed the snooze button to grab an extra ten minutes.

    I thank you! I do seriously wonder if there is an appetite to move on for Mr. Ashley; the Rangers link is still very much there, and the job to now do at SJP is growing and is going to take investment of some scale just to tread water.

    Some local press in Portugal reporting Benfica have turned down a $10m bid for Djuricic. Make of that what you will - seems unlikely that we'd bid so much for him, or that such a large sum ($4m profit in 5 months) would be turned down by a Portuguese club in $400m debt.

    Spurious rumour that we are talking to Man U about Javier Hernandez.
