“Since coming to work at Newcastle United I have quickly begun to appreciate the passion people have for the Football Club.” Mr. Llambias said.

“I firmly believe we have the right people with the right expertise, with Kevin Keegan back as manager and being fully supported by Mike Ashley and the directors, to take the Club forward again.”

Nice to read that Keegan is being fully supported by Mike Ashley. New players to signed very soon? I hope so. Keegan has been reported to broke off his holiday in New York today and will start the talk to potential transfer targets as soon as posible.

Keegan’s first deputy Terry McDermott said that although KK’s been away, he’s standby on his phone and trying his best to bring new players to Newcastle.

“Now we’ll be coming back in this week and we’re looking forward to the start of pre-season. Both myself and Kevin are great believers in a hard pre-season so that the lads are flying when it all kicks off.” Terry added more in the Journal.

The news of Keegan’s return home this week has emerged couple old and new speculations today that United is renewing their interest to bring Glasgow Rangers defender Carlos Cuellar. Daily Mail said that the Gers’ boss Walter Smith is keen to raise funds and if he can sold Carlos to United, he’s hopping to swoop Burnley’s Kyle Lafferty.

James Milner’s proposed move to Liverpool has become clear with an exchange deal involving the Reds youngster Danny Guthrie. While other news saying we have mackems in between for the signature of Celtic winger Aiden McGeady.

Kevin Keegan Was Never Afraid to Sell Anyone

May 31st, 2008 by shearyadi

Various stories for the last couple days have re-emerged regarding some of Toon players future at St. James’s Park. The likes of James Milner, Damien Duff and Emre have been on the tabloids headline as the potential players to leave United next season.

These series of rumours have been connected by the fact that Newcastle will do a heavy cut of player wages and make reinforcement to build younger and fresher team squad. The sale of Milner has been suggested for ca. £5m - and both Liverpool and Everton are interested.

Our friends at Newcastle said, the propose to sell one of our younger, promising, and presumably lower paid members of the squad, if it’s true, will makes little sense to most of the Toon Army. If KK is thinking of parting with the lad, the only comfort we can draw from it is that KK sold Andy Cole - and was never afraid to sell anyone, no matter their stature in the squad, if he could see a way of improving things.

About our Turkey international midfielder Emre Belozoglu, currently under contract with until 2011 after joined Newcastle from Inter Milan for 3.8 million pounds in 2005, the AFP news today has made a report that Fenerbahce have agreed a deal with Newcastle.

Emre will sign a three-year contract with Fenerbahce worth 10.5 million euros (16.3 million dollars) next week. Other news is reporting Duff as one of mackems target.

Meanwhile, our skipper has new opinions about Kevin Keegan impact at Newcastle. From his latest interview with a media yesterday, Owen fancies KK to hit the ground running at the start of next season.

“It was never going to happen straight away. Not only did we have some tough games, but when he came we had a lot of players low on confidence. But if you could ever ask for a man to pick people up and get the best out of them, it’s Kevin Keegan.”

Owen think the more improvement to come from is that the Toon players are all enjoy training and playing alongside each other. Kevin has brought a real feelgood factor into the club. He is also backed Keegan to make four or five quality additions to the current Toon squad.

“He obviously knows his stuff. He can see a player, and he can see things that need tweaking. Tactically he is very good.” Owen added more, “And I think he has been a fantastic appointment for us, and we’ve all enjoyed his time so far.”

The 25-year-old midfielder is under contract until 2011, but his agent said he wants to looking for a new challenge after Toulouse’s league campaign end with disappointment only a year after tasting the Champions League. The Press Association is understood that we have opened the first initial talks with Emana.

“Achille is ready to play in the Premier League and Newcastle is a team he would relish playing for.” his advisor Sebastien Thiery said “He is strong and is a box-to-box midfielder who also possesses a lot of pace.”

Steve Coppell Cries For Help from Madejski Stadium

May 24th, 2008 by shearyadi

After being painly relegated from the top flight in the final day despite won their last match, Reading will have to ballance the funds by releasing some of their star players who has high pay rates.

One player that is the most possible to leave is the England left-back Nicky Shorey. Coppell needs to adapt their finances to the Coca-Cola Championship, and will have to cut almost £500,000 from their weekly pay-outs and Nicky Shorey, who has served the club for seven years, is the main target from the likes of West Ham United, Aston Villa and Newcastle United.

“Nicky Shorey and a few others will be looked at as potential people to leave,” Nigel Howe, club’s chief executive said. “Nicky has made it clear for a long time that he hasn’t been too happy at the club. Well, let’s hope that somebody comes in with a good offer.”

Shorey has been linked with us when the previous manager is preparing his January transfers, but the Royals side is rejecting any offers from other Premier League club for their star player. Nicky was also said have signed new contract with them at that time, but now the table is turn and they have to release him to survive in the Championships league.

I wouldn’t mind if Keegan make a move for 27 years-old Shorey, who is still in the range of our “young players” policy, while one of today’s news already said that West Ham are ready to make £5m bid to take him move to Upton Park.

Meanwhile, Sam Vokes who is one of other player that has been linked for a move to St. James’s Park couple months ago, has completed his move from Bournemouth to Wolves in an undisclosed fees.

We Are Not Testing the Water or Anything Else

May 24th, 2008 by shearyadi

If anyone would take this utterly nonsense and completely self-deluded journalism as real then they must test their brain. I also would like to send a warning to that scum journalist who wrote the article to go to the doctor immediately.

image

No wonder Keegan has ban all Newcastle United players to talk to any press after the Everton match, as those journalists would love to write them as a Toon insider. The Scum has made a report today that Oba’s future in Newcastle is uncertain just because the new club policy to limited the player highest weekly wages only at £80,000 per-week.

They also write that new policy would be bad news for Michael Owen who has a £110,000 per-week deal with Toon. As Toon supporter, I don’t buy that news or anything else regarding to current players wage cut. It was exhibiting a lack of wisdom if we sell two of our best players at the moment because of that.

Although the soon-be-gone United chairman Chris Mort, on his statement recently, said that Newcastle would not pay players ridiculous wages, that doesn’t mean he will allowing any players who has done good to leave the club. I don’t think Keegan would agree, and I do believe KK will fight to keep his players.

Both Oba and his advisors have recently rejecting any news about him leaving United. Martins said he like being a Toon player and would want to be involve in Keegan’s next revolution this summer. Michael Owen, who will miss the chance to play for England because of illnes, is also like to start negotiation for the new contract with Newcastle.
