Roz Off To Lazio

Lazio have confirmed that they have taken up the option to sign Rozenhal on a permanent deal. It was looking likely that they weren’t going to as he didn’t exactly pull up any trees in his time so far there.
The deal is believed to have allowed Newcastle to recover all the money paid out to […]

Now Your Talking!?

According to the papers today (not that we believe one word of them) Rafa’s Little Goatee is interested in signing James Milner for £10 million after he decided £15 million was too much for Bentley.
Now I’ve had my say on Milner many a time on this blog now in that I don’t think his decision […]

Zog Sticks Rather Than Bust

Modric Spuds

So we lose out to the Spuds in the bid to land Modric. Sources are saying we lost out due to the £25 million asking price not being met by some £5 million. It is believed that Spuds will eventually pay that in the long term having paid less than we would upfront.

Get Yaself Away!

Well looks like the thoughts of many on this blog are correct when it comes to a Mr. Charles N’Zogbia.
A fine player on his day but a brat in general…

Oooot For The Summer

So as the summer draws nearer and we starting thinking about sun, sea, sand and egg and chips for some we also start thinking about the revolving door at St.James Park and quite naturally so.
