I certainly don't hope the mackems stay up. As long as Pardew's in charge we won't be beating them many times. Bloke's clueless and I can't be arsed to explain why... yet again.

99% sure that Newcastle won't sign anyone today. Everyone should save themselves the frustration and do something else instead. Plant a tree, walk the dog, help some old people across the road or something.

Am I what?

On paper, we have a lot of good players. We bought a lot of good players in January yet still nearly went down. They've had time to bed in and adjust to the team, so in theory we should be a lot better. However, our pre-season performances have been just as disjointed as last season, our...

There was talk of going for Jelle Vossen now instead, but that was rubbished by Mark Douglas as not true. It's a shame, if so, because he is an excellent finisher with an absolute rocket of a strike. Belgian Pro League isn't the best, but certain he could step up. Younger, and a better option...

so looks like he's going nowhere then.

'Imminent' must have a different meaning at St James' Park

How many of those Sunderland signings would get you excited if Newcastle signed them? Giaccherini is a quality player and Cabral looked good for Basel. Other than that?

From all the quotes from Aulas, I get the impression he's trying to publicly scare off Marseille... knowing full well that Gomis' preferred destination would be there. Lyon don't want to sell him to another team in France (read that last week... can't find the link though, ahem) No way on...

Rest assured, whoever we end up with, it will be for one main reason: they will be cheap.

Neither would I, nor have I said anything to suggest I do. Newcastle are right not to be held to ransom, but (a big but) doing so to the detriment of the team so often can't be good either. Somehow, somewhere along the line we have to make a compromise because we can't go into the season...

The Lyon president himself said (on Twitter) that they had agreed a deal with Newcastle and the breakdown was due to player's demands. Gomis issued a statement via a French journo that he had agreed terms. So someone is lying! The 'trustworthy sources' I tend to accept are either Mark...

The best sources, as always, are the real journalists. NUFC getting closer to a signing, but still nowhere near completing any. The Lyon president said a fee had been agreed.. but that was BEFORE Newcastle backed out due to Gomis' wage demands. Same old, same old... Happy to miss out on...

As long as it's a 'free bet'
