“I was called into the manager’s office three or four weeks ago and he said that the club had accepted an offer from Newcastle,” Tozer told as quoted from the official site, “I could not believe it and straight away I said that I could not turn the offer down.”

“Newcastle is a massive club with great fans, it’s a lovely place with nice people and I can’t wait to get started.” He added more, “I’ve spoken with Sam Allardyce, he’s great manager and I’m looking forward to working with him.”

Yeah right, we are lovely and nice supporters Ben, but it is only if you can make us to do so. There’re bunch of Toon new signings who said exactly like you did today, but only little of them who really can win our heart, I hope you are one of those very few players in Black-and-Whites.

By the way, the heritage’s celebrity look-alikes said you are 70% similar to Beckham and I hope they’re right about it, not just in face but your skills too

Tozer, born in Plymouth and began his career as a youth player at his local club Plymouth Argyle. His former coach at Argyle, David Byrne, persuaded his family to allow Ben to join him at Swindon Town.

He is later signed for Swindon in the summer of 2007 alongside fellow Argyle youngster Ben Joyce.

Made a surprise full debut for Swindon on August 14 in the Carling Cup match with Charlton and granted the other seven appearance in Town’s first team before having a trial with Everton.

“It’s been a brilliant experience at Swindon and I thank them for what they’ve done for me but I’m looking forward to the future.”

The Plymouth born left-back Ben Tozer who is just turn 17 this year will signed for Newcastle on additional fees depending on appearance £1,1 milions in January. Big Sam rated him as the future of Newcastle United and will assigned him immediately until the end of the season on loan.

Allardyce reputation on his ability to scout foreign players as well as any youngsters who are available is now on the test at Tyneside. He has brought in the likes of Jay Jay Okocha, Tal Ben Haim into the English Premier League. Under his guidance, young Kevin Nolan made it to the full England squad while Nicky Hunt was Under 21s regular.

On the summer he has signed Brazilian Cacapa from Olympique Lyon and he has been quite good addition to United’s defence. Bobby Moncur hails him as the one that Newcastle United been looking for and believe his ability and experience will bring a new dimension.

In the case of Ben Tozer’s potential to hit big for United, only time will tell as he is still a teenager, although many believe that there were at least three other Premier League clubs also looking to sign him, Portsmouth, Everton and the other one (Newcastle?). He spents couple of weeks with the Blues from Merseyside on trial and David Moyes reported being impressed to come in with a bid.

Sam Allardyce decision to loan him is a good one to make him ready for some “pressure” he never been imagine before when playing for a team like Newcastle. Allardyce hinted a player like Tozer can continue to improve that way. The word from some of Swindon’s supporter saying that there isn’t any doubt that Tozer will make it.

Welcome to the club Tozer! I hope you will become as good as the press told about you. Still plenty of months will come to indicate how far away you will doing good for the Mighty Magpies. There’s not an easy way but if you can handle it, you will have the heaven on earth while playing infront of the Toon Army.

With Everton and Portsmouth reporting to have the same interest for this 17 years-old full back who can play as left and central defender, Tozer being rated as the most talented prospect in this country.

Maybe yes, maybe not. I think the deal so far was only on the paper as a pre-contract not a permanent switch as the transfer windows still not open yet.

Big Sam speaks for the first time about the speculations on Chronicle today and mark him as obviously one for the future.

“And yes, there is a possibility Ben will be allowed to go out on loan. But first we want him to stay here for two or three weeks so that we can look and him and he can look at us.”

Ben Tozer has only played one handful of game for the Swindon Town first-team this season, and will not be considered for first-team action by Sam Allardyce. United gaffer still hopes to land Manchester United Wes Brown on loan deal next month.

Meanwhile, for the Tozer’s bandwagon member here’s the link for his beboo member page.

For the last couple days, maybe this blog is the only one who feels that the speculation about the signing of 17 years-old left back from Swindon Town is actually just a rumour and he is not really having a contract negotiation today. I know that the Official site is always late when reporting something, but the press not.

But, until the fat lady sing I’m still not buy it. Sam Allardyce also said today that he will not be panicked into making any rush buys in the January transfer window, and didn’t see why he must do it today either. He realise about the effects of African Cup will have on his present squad, but he will see any loan players are he most suitable for him next month.

“There is only one focus: the players have to be better than what we have already got,” said Allardyce quoted from the Journal. He also deny any reports to have in touch with Manchester City regarding Owen’s situation yesterday.

“If you sign a player with the purpose of covering for another player that generally means you rarely use them because they are not up to the required Premier League level. You have to be careful.” Allardyce added more.

“This is the most difficult window to deal in and I keep saying this, it is a hugely flawed system. It stops me progressing the club, it stops me being more successful and it stops you at critical times overcoming injury problems in what can be crucial positions.”

As many have known before, Chris Mort insists there will be no more funds for Big Sam in January, and although Mr. Mort will backing Allardyce all the way down, he has give the command that Allardyce should use what he has now at the club before the Newcastle’s board giving him another green light to buy.

“There will be huge speculation on who is coming in or (going) out and another one has popped up which is an utter load of rubbish, which is Michael Owen.”

Big Sam have also mentioned about if he is going to buy any new players when the money finally being released, he will go and find the one in this country who have the Premier League experience so it is not going to be another mistake.

This is interesting because Big Sam is still have not say anything about the speculations, and I was a bit curious why they want to finalised the contract as soon as Monday for the unproven young lad who plays in first division, although for an undisclosed fee at around £1.1million is relatively “cheap”.

Swindon Town is on the way for a takingover business and some of the County Ground’s followers thought that the selling proposal is only matters to their old owner. The most interesting one is a couple of their fans are “delighted” about the transfer speculation.

For them, It seemed obvious why he was off despite being fit and available on yesterday’s fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion, where they lost 0-3. This is what has held up the deal and they hope it all gets sorted tomorrow, means they love to see the “talented” young lad out of their sight.

More of their opinion, the prospect of selling Tozer to Newcastle is a very good bussiness because this lad can’t pass and lost possesion alot. They credited Ben Tozer isn’t talented and they have seen nothing to convince anyone that he is a good player, even at League One he has not been great. His distribution is pretty poor.

So, I don’t think this one is going to happens despite all the news today. I don’t think Sam Allardyce will go after this kind of player, disrespectable by his own club fans, unproven and was just being released by the Championship League team Plymouth Argyle before joining Swindon. Don’t believe everything you read in the papers.
