@Darren Peacock's Ponytail “We have worked hard to extend Rafa's contract over a significant period of time, however it has not been - and will not be - possible to reach an agreement with Rafa and his representatives.
It would be a big improvement... He suffer from injuries last season, but the season before he was hot property. He's exactly the sort of opportunity that Newcastle can take a punt on. Fans have had their heads in the clouds regarding signings at this stage.
If you give him good service he gets 15-20 goals a season how much would you pay for him realistically though
I think Everton might be too greedy and Newcastle will buy from abroad. We'll see Everton and Lampard might be keen to cash in and go shopping.
He’s the only player I would consider is better than any of ours. I am struggling to compare any of their others players and suggest they are better than ours.
For the record I would take DCL in a heart beat. Get him fit and he’s a massive step up for us. Different type of player than we have. And JWP aswell. Two players who are a massive improvement on what we have. FFS come on chaps give yourself a bloody shake.
