I can confirm as a Newcastle supporter that Martins is on the verge of completing deal with Newcastle he was left out of Inter Milans Traing Sesion and is roumoured to be on Tyneside thrashing out a Deal...

In other Newcastle News it looks like the Club may soon be taken over by a corporation with 2 bids for the clubs lodged... (This follows the trend of premiership clubs being being sold recently)

As for Boumsong he seems to be connected with anything that moves at the moment so I can't comment on the further speculation that his transfer is receiving... It's no secret that Newcastle want to get rid of the Defenders large wage bill...

Some good moves in your team drunken ninja ! howay the lads !

with the upcoming takeover as well, you should be well in there !

Your teams first Premeirship game was good, with new captain Scott Parker looking like a very good chocie by Glen Roeder, and also Scott soring a *****ing goal ! I also think Ameobi will prove valuable for you this season and of course good old Nobby Solano, who is a northern rock for u ! (sorry for the bad joke)

I think you will do better than liverpool this season, i think liverpool at the moment are all talk and Benitez looks scared after his 1 all draw with the blades. But we will see in tonights Champions League with Maccabi Haifa how they fare.

Thanks Doughboy... I don't need to buy the paper anymore

You never know what Newcastle will do, they are a strange club in many ways but always put there money where their mouth is...

By the way it looks like Boumsong to Juventus could be a goer since the last I heard was he was in Italy undergoing a Medical...

Please please please go to Juventus...
