Re: Newcastle United Official: Welcome to Newcastle James Perch First signing of year, rumored to be ~1m
Re: Newcastle United Official: Welcome to Newcastle James Perch really hate the belt buckle look on the shorts that puma is doing now
Re: Newcastle United Official: Welcome to Newcastle James Perch yea I'm not a fan of the shorts. I was reading one of the boards last night and some were bitching about the crest and the puma logo not being centered in the black stripes. Still gonna kop one of the blue away kits at the end of the month when I get paid
Re: Newcastle United Official: Welcome to Newcastle James Perch i like the white thirds the best i think if the belt buckle was gone and they got rid of that horrible collar it would be excellent
Re: Newcastle United Official: Welcome to Newcastle James Perch What happened to you guys and Boyd? I thought he was a done deal? Just saw on Sky that he is going to Middlebrough on a free transfer.
Re: Newcastle United Official: Welcome to Newcastle James Perch Hughton never seemed to want him I really wanted him as he was a proven goal scorer, but he can go have fun in the Colaship
Re: Newcastle United Official: Welcome to Newcastle James Perch Yeah I thought you guys were the likely destination for him. Strange to see him going to Mid. Oh well. Nothing new on the Vlad front. Camp just opened up today so I would think if something happens; it will be in the next couple of weeks.
Re: Newcastle United Official: Welcome to Newcastle James Perch I was bored last night so I watched a bunch of Alan Shearer highlight vids on Youtube. I feel like a real Newcastle fan now.

Re: On the Tyneside: Welcome James Perch, Tom Cleverly too? It looks like Newcastle are set to capture their second signature of the summer as a loan deal for Manchester United’s 20-year old youngster, Tom Cleverley, looks set to be announced imminently This comes hot on the ‘eels after landing Perch from Nottingham Forest yesterday, and after such a slow start in the market things now appear to be picking up for Newcastle United. Cleverley signed a new three year contract at Old Trafford not so long ago, so the chances of us being able to sign him on a permanent basis after his anticipated 12-month loan deal expires look to be slim, but on the other hand it does point towards the fact that the Manchester United hierachy must rate the kid enough to offer him a new deal, unless it is a new contract put in place purely to ensure that any bidding club will have to pay top dollar for the central midfielder. Now Newcastle could learn a thing or two from that, but that is for a different article entirely. So in this one, let’s look at just what Tom Cleverley could offer Newcastle. Cleverley drew many plaudits from around the country last season for his driving performances and goal-scoring explots from midfield, and that was in a Watford side that ended up having a disappointing campaign. He made 33 appearances last season, scoring 11 goals in the process and would have surely added to that tally had his season not have been prematurely cut short due to a knee ligament injury. Despite the injury though, he still managed to win the Watford Player of the Season award for last season. So the boy knows where the back of the net is, which is a good thing, but he also has a bit of pace, which again is a good thing and something that our midfield is lacking in currently. Another plus point though is the versatitly of the player. There is no doubt in my mind that Cleverley would predominantly be played in midfield, but he can also play in a number of other positions such as left back, left midfield, right back, right midfield and of course his more recognised position of pushing forward from central midfield. At the end of the day I would prefer it we bought players, but I am by no means averse to signing young players on loan from other clubs, particularly if they are as highly rated as Tom Cleverley seems to be. One thing I don’t want to happen is for youngsters from other clubs to hinder the development of our own youth prospects. Let’s spare a thought for Haris Vuckic here, who I fear could be placed on the periphery of the first team squad due to the reported imminent arrival of Cleverley. It may not happen, and Vuckic may well still get the chance that he, and a lot of Newcastle fans, are waiting for. We await official confirmation, but there are a hell of a lot of rumours, even from Manchester United, claiming that the deal is about to be announced. If that is so, then it would two signings in a few days, which I don’t think was expected as it isn’t nearly the end of the transfer window yet.
Re: On the Tyneside: Welcome James Perch, Tom Cleverly too? TV Schedule up to Christmas So happy our home game against sunderland got picked up
Re: On the Tyneside: Dan Gosling to sign tomorrow? Gosling to sign tomorrow? I frickin hope so, it'd be a great addition
Re: On the Tyneside: Dan Gosling is a Magpie!! Alright, World Cup is over. Time to get into the Magpie mood. What's the scouting report on Gosling? How big of a signing is this? What's the extent of his injury? Also, any books or resources I can read for history and traditions of the club outside of Wiki and the official team site? Thanks
Re: On the Tyneside: Dan Gosling is a Magpie!! Gosling is a youngster that has a high ceiling from what I've read. The only reason he is a FA is because Everton apparently f'd up the negotiations. As of now we're getting him on a free, but his value is ~4mil currently. He's expected to be out til Christmas, which I am ok with as we have plenty of MF and I saw today Hughton came out and said our top youngster, Haris Vuckic, will get first team time(had interest from ManU and one of the Spanish giants) The sites I read for stuff are nufcblog.com, nufc.com, and newsnow.co.uk(maneuver my way to the Newcastle page and it gives you every article relating to Newcastle). I couldn't really help you on how to find the history outside maybe the official site? NUFC.com might have some stuff as well
Re: On the Tyneside: Dan Gosling is a Magpie!! the only thing gayer than magpie is pukka pies. (and newcastle is on my good side)
Re: On the Tyneside: Dan Gosling is a Magpie!! Newcastle opened preseason with a 3-0 win at Carlisle. Our young stud vuckic scored one
Re: On the Tyneside: Dan Gosling is a Magpie!! He's ridiculous in Football Manager. Glad to hear he's getting it done in real life too.
Re: On the Tyneside: Dan Gosling is a Magpie!! well he only had like 1 appearance last year, and it was in the final game where it meant nothing. But I read Hughton said he should get plenty of time this year
Re: On the Tyneside: Sol to sign with Newcastle? can't tell if you're being sarcastic, or you think it'd be a good signing
Re: On the Tyneside: Sol to sign with Newcastle? I like Sol. He is at the end of his career but still a name that will draw attention to your club. I had not heard Newcastle as an option for him.
Re: On the Tyneside: Sol to sign with Newcastle? I saw rumors of it a couple weeks ago, and he really wanted to sign last year, but we didn't have the ability to sign him before last season
Re: On the Tyneside: Sol to sign with Newcastle? He will be good for the young players if you sign him. Still a little bit left in the tank.
Re: On the Tyneside: Sol to sign with Newcastle? I just read that Mamadou(sp?) Diarra might be offered to us. I highly doubt anything comes of it as 1) it's from goal.com and 2) his wages would be way to much for us, since we have a 35k/week limit
Re: On the Tyneside: Sol to sign with Newcastle? Got an equipment internship at the university for a year
Re: On the Tyneside: Sol to sign with Newcastle? well i havent had any, but a kid I know from HS went to JUCO in Mesa, AZ and a teammate of his sells and I might go meet up with him today actually. Only prob is I have to wait til the roomies go to bed n shit to
Re: On the Tyneside: Sol to sign with Newcastle? do you know who you moved in with there or just people from the university you didn't know?
Re: On the Tyneside: Sol to sign with Newcastle? Got our new season off to a good start yesterday, with a 3-0 win over League One side Carlisle. Here's a match write up Stevie T is alright
Re: On the Tyneside: Sol to sign with Newcastle? Where is your expectations for them to finish 10-15 range? hey seem like the promoted team to have a chance to replicate what Birm City did

Re: On the Tyneside: Andy Carroll the new #9 Announced today that Andy Carrol is getting the coveted #9
Re: On the Tyneside: Andy Carroll the new #9 We have money to spend according to Hughton(who was today listed as one of two favorites to be first sacked)
