O yes, he was world class, so solid. I would love to see nothing more than his return, even if only a loan.

Martins starting today for Newcastle.

kinaldo · 27-08-2006 07:00PM

Roeder said on SSN Martins only has a dead leg. Thank fcuk for that! Hopefully we'll see a new Newcastle team after the international break. Please sign Woodgate!

evilhomer · 27-08-2006 10:29PM

We looked an absolute mess at the back today, We really need reinforcments back there.

Today's injury to Martin also highlighted that we don't have any backup up front if Martins does have a serious injury.

We could do with somone on loan maybe?

Salmon · 28-08-2006 05:10PM

Roeder has said he wants to get in a new striker on loan (http://www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,16368,2483_1455938,00.html) I'd love if we got in a big strong striker like Ronaldo or Trezeguet! We definately need someone else up front, ameobi wont last with his hip, and martins is too small to lead the line.

I read somewhere that there could be as many as four new additions before next thursday!!

evilhomer · 28-08-2006 06:01PM

Looks like we are going after Mido, He would be a good loan signing.

2 strikers is not enough for a top 6 finish. Especially with the way our defence is playing.

kinaldo · 28-08-2006 07:13PM

SSN report that Woodgate is holding talks with Newcastle now. He was pictured leaving Boro earlier after holding talks with them. I think Woody's coming home

Cutie18Ireland · 28-08-2006 07:22PM

On SSN earlier they said it would be announced before the Boro game tonight that he will sign on a season long loan.

c m · 29-08-2006 01:50AM

are we sure we want woodgate back?? he will get injured. with him owen and dyer at the club at the same time its going to be an injuryfest. well the last 2 years has left me pessimistic and i know hes a very good player but theres a good chance he'll just clog up the physio room

zacharius · 29-08-2006 09:54AM

I'd certainly opt for woodgate back, especially if they can get him for free or very little - yeah hes v injury prone but was v solid when he played for us.

Given was given the mid-season top man for newcastle on soccernet last year - v funny review saying how the hell given had the heart to come out every week looking at the likes of bramble, boumsong etc in front of him. He saved more shots from them than opposing strikers.

If he's fit for 10 games this year it'll be worth it .

kinaldo · 30-08-2006 05:43PM

Absolutely gutted Woody signed for Boro, but it's his hometown club and the club he supports so who can blame him for wanting to help them out for a season. I don't know where this leaves our defence now, with Huth also out of the reckoning and Bridge becoming less and less likely. We're gonna have to pull one big rabbit out of the hat in the next 24 hours. Ayala, who's in dispute with Valencia, springs to mind.

I wouldn't mind seeing Viduka here as well although according to skysports website we've had a bid rejected. Personally, I think he's a cracking player and is too good for Boro. They've just signed Jason Euelll so might be willing to let him go now. Saviola is another 'available' striker being linked with us. I suppose it's just wait and see but at this stage I wouldn't be suprised if we didn't sign anyone.

Limerick Dude · 30-08-2006 06:32PM

apparently we are signing some egyptian centre back.

He had a trial the other day and he said it went well.

I think it's a sick joke that we turned down the chance to sign Campbell this summer and are now in for some unknown and unproven 31 year old.

Bounty Hunter · 30-08-2006 11:45PM

Guiseppe Rossi on loan...Now a day to sort out the defence

Fcuking A! I've heard nothing but glowing reports on him. Only a short term loan but at least we have some sort of cover up front for the time being.

Spaco · 31-08-2006 09:48AM

Rossi could be good. At least he'd get a few games at newcastle. But Roeder's leaving it a bit tight to get in cover for these gaps. If we miss out and get no one else in, we'd better hope that the team remains injury free.... wouldn't want to see the defence getting any more makeshift than it already is

Limerick Dude · 31-08-2006 03:37PM

Latest news from skysports
WE ARE TRYING TO SELL MILNER TO VILLA for 4 fcukin million!

This makes no sense the guy will be worth about 10 million in 3 years!!!!

Our squad is thin enough as it is!!!!

GAH!

Ffs something always has to give. Selling off our best youngers now. I think this is a case of Shepherd telling Roeder he has to sell before he can buy. If this goes through we better use the money to sign someone like Gallas. Will we ever get rid of the black hole in our wage bill that is Dyer I wonder?

kinaldo · 31-08-2006 04:12PM

taken from nufc.com:

Windows error: abort, retry, fail?

Having looked to be trying to sell James Milner to Aston Villa at one stage today (Thursday), there's now speculation that we may be seeking to make a U-turn on the deal, as our hopes of making further signings diminish.

Meanwhile a glum-looking Mark Viduka and his representative sat in the car park at Boro's training ground. Waiting for the phone to ring? or listening out for the welcoming chimes of the ice cream van.....

Earlier in the day the club had confirmed that the club who loaned Milner last season were in receipt of permission to open talks - with United using the money to finance a deal for Viduka.

However this was then discounted by the F.A.B's current club Middlesbrough.

Speaking at the Woodgate press conference, smogs Chief Exec Keith Lamb commented:

"Mark is an important part of our plans and he's staying at Middlesbrough."

Lamb also hinted that a delay in completion of the Huth deal was due to Chelsea being otherwise engaged in transfer business - presumably Ashley Cole's move from Arsenal.

We're off a for lie down - more new lies and misinformation here as they are dreamed up

I don't know what's going on anymore, I just wish we'd hurry up and get a defender in and for the transfer window to close.

kinaldo · 31-08-2006 04:23PM

It's official now, Milner won't be joining Villa

I hate the way the club have used him as a pawn over the last few weeks. Totally unprofessional. Hopefully Roeder will make him feel a bit more wanted now.

Limerick Dude · 31-08-2006 04:54PM

Yeah the guy is class and id rather have him on the pitch than solano. solano is good but hes pushing it a bit now.

We must get in a defender!

Watch this space!

snickerpuss · 31-08-2006 04:59PM

I'm pleased with getting Rossi and glad Milner is staying, wonder what'll happen by tonight...

Salmon · 31-08-2006 06:59PM

Not sure if anything will. We are looking at going into our third successive season with a very light squad! I'm just fed up of NUFC at the moment, I can just feel other teams getting stronger and us falling away. I wonder if glenn is up to saving our ass again and pulling us out of a relegation dogfight next season!

Limerick Dude · 31-08-2006 07:27PM

We have one of the best midfields in the premiership imo and we can creat goals, hopefully wih martins and rossi we can score.

My main concern is our back 4, which is always looking suspect.

NEWCASTLE United have signed Antoine Sibierski from Manchester City on a one-year contract.

The Frenchman, who can play in attack or midfield, arrives at St. James' Park for an undisclosed fee.

Sibierski, aged 32, started his career with Lille, and went on to score 17 goals in 97 appearances.

He then had a two-year spell at Auxerre, netting eight times in 42 games, and then moved to Nantes in 1998 where he made 50 appearances and scored 17.

Sibierski's next port of call was Lens, and in a three-year stint there he bagged 23 goals in 89 games before Kevin Keegan brought him to the Premiership when he swooped to sign him for Manchester City.

Sibierski made 92 appearances and scored 11 times in his time in Manchester.

The Frenchman has played on three occasions against the Magpies, his first appearance coming in the 4-3 win for United at Gallowgate in October 2004, and he also played in Newcastle's 1-0 win against City in August 2005 as well as the 3-0 win for Manchester City in what turned out to be Graeme Souness' last game in charge in February this year.

Has someone at Newcastle confused this guy with a defender???

Salmon · 31-08-2006 09:48PM

Ah Come on this cant be serious! Is this what I have waited for all day??

kinaldo · 31-08-2006 10:24PM

I refuse to believe we won't be signing a single defender especially after our defence has been weakened further by the departure of Boumsong. If Gallas has time for a medical at Arsenal then there's still hope for Bridge yet!

Limerick Dude · 31-08-2006 10:41PM

This is such bull****, hes only scored 11 in 90- something apperances, desperate buy imo.

Im still expecting a big signing in the next 1 hour and twenty minutes.
