Newcastle United transfer speculation
Does the latest injury to Newcastle United target Erik Pieters scupper any chance of a transfer? 23
year-old PSV left back Erik Pieters has been an alleged target for Newcastle United for quite some
time now. Last summer we reportedly offered PSV €7m for the player and PSV went so far as to say
the [.
Newcastle United look like a team going places well, at least to Europe and they're sure to need to
strengthen the squad to cope with it. Cue a string of rumours about alleged interest in various
players. According to The Daily Mirror, Alan Pardew has made 'discreet enquiries' about the
availability of Gylfi [.
Newcastle United are allegedly interested in Ajax's Jan Vertonghen but is he a realistic target
given the interest of some fairly big clubs? According to The Chronicle the latest player of
interest to Newcastle is Ajax captain Jan Vertonghen but, personally, I reckon he might be a bit
pricey for us. The 6ft 2.
The Dutch press appears to offer further suggestions that FC Twente's Douglas is bound for
Newcastle United this summer, although perhaps the most pertinent question is whether or not we
lose any of our current stars this summer too. Further to an article I posted last week about
Newcastle's interest in FC Twente's Douglas Franco [.
Newcastle United have been linked with two defenders from the Dutch league recently: Douglas and
Erik Pieters. But is there anything to subtantiate the rumours? The Chronicle and other elements of
the press have been linking us with FC Twente's Douglas Franco Teixeira recently. The 6ft 4in
24-year old central defender has apparently [.
According to the Dutch press, FC Groningen's General Director has confirmed Newcastle's interest in
Virgil van Dijk. Following on from the recent gossip linking Newcastle with AZ Alkmaar midfielder
Adam Maher, they are also apparently after a Dutch centre back by the name of Virgil van Dijk. Van
Dijk no relation to Dick [.
Newcastle United are being once again linked with Benjamin Corgnet and if reports about a French
radio station are correct, Pardew is determined to get his man. Rumours are circulating one again
about our interest in Dijon midfielder Benjamin Corgnet. I'm not entirely sure why they've started
up again at this stage of the season [.
Rumours abound about Andy Carroll, Ravel Morrison, Junior Hoilett and Wilfried Zaha but so far
there has been no action from Newcastle United in this transfer window. After yesterday's rumours
about Andy Carroll's potential return to Newcastle, people have been queueing up to dismiss it all
as twaddle.
Newcastle United appear to be interested in a couple of strikers if press reports are to be
believed, one of which could be Andy Carroll. The big news to hit the press today is the rumours
that Newcastle may be trying to strike a deal to bring Andy Carroll back from Liverpool. Our friend
the [...]
Newcastle United are pursuing (at least) two centre-backs according to rumours and Alan Pardew
insists that Taye Taiwo isn't one of them. The rumour-mill has been doing the usual stuff and the
latest has Newcastle interested in a pair of defenders. The first is Douglas Franco Teixeira who is
a 6ft 4in, 23 year old [.
Reflections on Saturday's game and a look ahead at what might and might not be happening in the
January transfer window as far as Newcastle United is concerned. How did we not win that game on
Saturday? Swansea have one of the best defences in the league but luck was certainly on their side
too, [...
Newcastle United midfielder Cheick Tiote is rumoured to be on Chelsea's shopping list for January
with supposedly a £20m bid in the offing. But would Ashley sell him? The latest news from the
rumour-filled world of Toon speculation has Chelsea considering a £20m bid for Cheick Tiote in
January.
Strong rumours are circulating suggesting Newcastle United have an interest in Auxerre midfielder
Alain Traoré. To add to the transfer rumours I posted yesterday, there are additional rumours that
we're in hot pursuit of Auxerre midfielder Alain Traoré. The Daily Mail claims that the 22
year-old has 6 goals in 12 games this season and, [.
Typically, the weekend's press contained many rumours linking Newcastle United to various players,
some of which I provide a summary of in this article. Amidst the rants of Llambias and the
mutterings of discontent or otherwise about the stadium renaming, there was also a healthy serving
of transfer speculation on the weekend.
The international break heralds a mini 'silly season' as Newcastle United are reported to be
interested in no less than 5 new players. With January fast approaching and no Premier League
football for two weeks, it's inevitable that the names of potential targets will be bandied about.
Our impressive start to the season and the [.
Newcastle United are allegedly 'linked' with three players at the moment if various press reports
are to be believed, although it is perhaps our continued interest on Modibo Maiga that is the
strongest rumour. You'd be forgiven for thinking the transfer window is still open judging by the
players the press have Newcastle United linked [.
Newcastle United a reputed to be looking to strengthen things at right-back with Manchester City's
Nedum Onuoha allegedly being in the frame for a January transfer. I'm not entirely sure where the
rumour came from originally, but there's one on a mild simmer about us being in the market for a
new right-back.
Transfer deadline day leaves Newcastle United in desperate need of at least a striker and Papiss
Demba Cisse currently leads the rumours in that respect. It's transfer deadline day and hopefully
we'll have something to look forward to by way of a new striker. Whether we're after anything more
than that remains to be seen [.
Erik Pieters' alleged move to Newcastle United appears to be dead in the water, interest in Aly
Cissokho is cooling, so Davide Santon seems the most likely to be our new left-back. It seems press
reports that Erik Pieters is 'close' to joining Newcastle are wide of the mark if the Dutch press
is anything [.
With talk of Davide Santon to Newcastle seeming ever likely, the obvious question is where will he
fit into the squad? The 20 year old started plying his trade on the wing and gradually moved back
to his current position as full back, or to be more precise, wing back and despite being right
footed, [.
Newcastle United are still hunting for a new left-back with either Erik Pieters or Aly Cissokho
looking as if they're the most likely targets. There are confusing and contradictory reports flying
around about Erik Pieters and his potential transfer to Newcastle. Some of the British press seems
to be hinting that it's almost a 'done [.
It seems that despite a lot of excitement centred around Newcastle United's alleged interest in
Nolan Roux, no contact has been made with either his current club or his agent. Whatever you think
about some of Joey Barton's previous behaviour and some of it was atrocious it's hard to deny that
he was [.
Could it be that Newcastle United are indeed closing in on a 'double swoop' for a left-back and a
striker? And will Joey Barton leave or not? Rumours abound that we're close to finalising deals for
both Erik Pieters and Nolan Roux, although I think it's always worth waiting to see them at an SJP
[...

Reports from across The Channel suggest that Newcastle United is 'cooling' on Modibo Maiga and is
instead looking at a couple of other French strikers. The rumour-mill in the French press is
alleging that our interest in Modibo Maiga is cooling but that we're chasing other players in
France's Ligue 1.
Newcastle United's pursuit of Mobida Maiga continues despite threats of UEFA involvement and an
alleged £10m price tag on the player. There have been many twists and turns with this Mobida Maiga
debacle and there'll probably be few more before it has finished. Yesterday it was reported that
the striker may have 'faked' a knee [.
Newcastle United still appear to be pursuing Modiba Maiga, who missed out on his weekend league
game again, and Erik Pieters, who Alan Pardew allegedly went to watch on Sunday. It seems that
Newcastle think striking striker Modibo Maiga is still a plausible target despite his club Sochaux
insisting last week that he [.
Alan Pardew intends to use yesterday's victory over the mackems as a springboard to entice more
action from the Newcastle United board in terms of transfers. Yesterday's result was extremely
satisfying as any win over the hapless mackems is but I think we'd all like to see a new left-back
and a new [.
How many players do you think Newcastle United will recruit before the transfer window closes?
There seems to be a fair bit of 'NUFC depression' around this week, mainly due to the lack of
transfer activity I suppose. Having said that, it seems that we're still pursuing Modibo Maiga
despite Sochaux's Chairman apparently rejecting out [.
Newcastle United sign a new goalkeeper after loaning Forster out to Celtic. It appears we have
actually signed a new goalkeeper. Or are about to, depending upon which newspaper you read. There
isn't yet any official confirmation from Newcastle United but I get the impression this is a done
deal. The keeper in question comes [.
Celtic reach an agreement to take Newcastle United keeper Fraser Forster and Toon wannabe Maiga
speaks up about his omission from Sochaux's European squad. Celtic claim to have reached an
agreement to take Fraser Forster off our hands. Apparently it's along the lines of a season-long
loan with some sort of option to buy the [.
Newcastle United are allegedly considering a move to take Wayne Bridge on loan if they fail in
their attempts to sign Erik Pieters. This is one from the Daily Mail. They claim we'd consider
paying £80k/week to bring Wayne Bridge to Newcastle on a season long loan if we don't manage to
sign Erik Pieters.
Newcastle United target Modibo Maiga is punished by Sochaux for refusing to play in last weekend's
match. As I mentioned yesterday, Sochaux were looking to punish Modibo Maiga for refusing to play
against Caen last weekend in an attempt to force a move to Newcastle. Well they have punished him
by leaving him out of [.
Newcastle United striker target Modibo Maiga faces punishment from Sochaux. As reported yesterday,
Sochaux's want-away Malian striker Modibo Maiga has been trying to force a move to Newcastle by
refusing to play for his current club. It seems he didn't turn up to the training session that took
place after that either.
Newcastle United have allegedly made a bid for Sochaux striker Modibo Maiga. According to Sky
Sports we've put in an €8m (£7m) bid for Modibo Maiga who is reported to be 'unsettled' at
French outfit Sochaux. Part of the reason he's unsettled is, it seems, because he wants a transfer
to Newcastle but his club [.
Newcastle United have allegedly increased their bid for Erik Pieters and still have Nicklas
Bendtner in their sights, and Derek Llambias confirms the need to add further players to the squad.
Good morning. The Toon headlines are still pretty much dominated by the Joey Barton/Gervinho
'Slappergate' incident, which is beginning to make my Earl Grey [.
Erik Pieters is looking all the more likely to join Newcastle United after his recent comments but
the hunt for a new striker is looking a bit glum just now. It looks like PSV's Erik Pieters is one
step closer to becoming our new left-back as PSV boss Fred Rutten is almost conceding defeat in
[...]
Newcastle United allegedly consider a Swiss striker to fill the gap left by Andy Carroll while
there are rumblings of interest by other clubs in Fabricio Coloccini and Jonas Gutierrez. Well,
Alan Pardew only has two and a bit days left if he wants to achieve his aim of signing a new
striker before the [.
Alan Pardew remains determined to bring in "two or three" players before the transfer window closes
with an Inter Milan fullback being the latest alleged target. It's going to be a tense few days as
the transfer window heads to a close and, personally, I'll be glad when it does. At least we'll
know where [.
The most unexpected transfer of pre-season is finally close to conclusion, with Jose Enrique
getting his wish granted to strut his stuff in the UEFA Champions League next season by joining
Liverpool. Wait a second...Are Liverpool competing in Europe next season? Anyway, Mr Pardew has
given a rare interview with the 'Chronicle' in regards to [.
