Sky Sports have confirmed deal agreed £12m He will have medical and sign today. All seems to be sorted

We are also listed in most bookies eyes to be fav's for berahino
 
Buzzing great signing in my opinion

Someone has hacked Chaos's account, not only did that post sound optimistic but its also before 09:30am, I doubt Chaos has ever been optimitic this early in the morning!

But I agree, he is still 23, loads of experience, lower league, liverpool, uefa cup swansea, england. probably a bit more than id want to pay, but he has a lengthy contract 2019, i would have been happier paying around the £10 mark

I say what I think and hes better than colback and anita by some margin and like you say is young with premiership experience.

Get a good striker and a left back and we can expect more wins without a doubt.

For me thats one box of 3 ticked

Berahino I can't see happening but he'd be absolutely brilliant
 
I'll be happy with Shelvey. I have concerns but beggars can't be choosers and he is better than what we have. Maybe if shown a bit of love and made number one he will do the job. Same goes for Beharino though I'd prefer Austin in our situ. I don't think we have any hope of either. Again though, shown a bit of love and made No.1, I'm sure Beharino will come good.

Left back and centre back are massive priorities now though, gotta stop the rot.

I'm not convinced austin is worth it and we need pace if you ask me but like you say we won't get either
 
Im warming to the idea of berahino, I never really rated defoe as a youngster, he was explosive but his goal scoring record never set the world alight. However Defoe changed my opinion and I reckon Berahino is very much of the same mould, he could come here and do very very well and get alot of goals.

I wouldn't worry I can't see us signing him mate.
 
From What I have seen though,

Tottenham want berahino, but want an exchange with Townsend - Townsend has refused he doesnt wanna go to WBA, his preferance is NUFC and supposidely we are in negotiations with spurs.

Further more Tiote is off - His fed up, he wants more money and wants to go as we have signed two CM's
 
My flabber is ghasted.

A half decent player over the line. Excellent.

Some have mentioned the price. To me it doesn't matter, it's not 'our' cash but it just comes out of the Sports Direct Advertising Cost Centre Budget that is Newcastle United.

Lol I dont overlly care, however Mike Ashley has lost over £1bn over the last few weeks with a drastic decline in Sports Direct Shares going from nearly 800p per share to 350p per share.

I dont care, but if that kind of thing starts affecting our transfer business (which at this case its doesnt seem so) then I will start caring. I dont want Mike to be a billionaire, but I also know its not in my best interests to see him broke, that could cause a massive backlash! If he was so broke he had to sell newcastle, then it may be a good thing, potentially it could be worse than the exisiting regime? you never know

Jesus Christ it's only 12 million for a full England international mate at 23

Ashley ain't ever going to be broke its another asset

Are you the type of guy that never switches the heating on?

Shelvey looks a sullen ****er to me, and given the cloud under which he left Swansea I have grave concerns about his attitude. I don't question his ability, but I'm not convinced he's up for the scrap in all honesty.

Also, us signing him today is clearly just a tactical ploy so he can be paraded to the fans at half-time tonight when we're 0-4 down.

He'll only see that as an opportunity to buy more shares himself, these things are often orchestrated by majority shareholders. Don't be surprised to see him come out of the other end even richer in a year or so.

As for strikers, you're not getting one, we'll turn up toothless tonight and Mitrovic and Perez will both score. Problem solved.

I'd take that, our last 300 games have been 0-0 at half time <ok>
