With the season nearing a close thought we may as well have a new one of these.

When does the window open?

Krul has been linked to Tottenham & Chelsea
Simpson has been linked to Chelsea
Coloccini has been linked to Liverpool
Cabaye has been linked to Man Utd & Arsenal
Tiote has been linked to Man Utd, Man City & Chelsea
Ba has been linked to Tottenham, PSG & Arsenal
Cisse has been linked to Man City & now Real Madrid

Just shows how good our team is that so many of our players get linked with moves to these 'big' clubs!

100% agree. I'm not saying that they are all going; just that it shows there quality to be linked to such clubs even though there is likely to be no foundations to the rumours.

Newcastle are lining up a move for the "exciting" Ajax left-back Nicolai Boilesen, -various

also some things Jan Vertonghen has said

"I might move to the Premier League because they have finally woken up and seen that there is more to football than long balls and two-footed tackles,More and more clubs in England realise that 'good football' can take you a long way."

the clubs now linked with him are Us,the spuds,Arsenal and now Man utd if we qualify for the CL (long shot but not impossible) we might have a chance if we don't it'll never happen imo besides i think his wages might be a huge stumbling block as well

That's Stoke, Sunderland and West Ham (if promoted) out of the equation then.

heskey's free so i'm sure he'll end up at one of them

found this as well

In an interview with NUsport Jan has said “I have a choice. There’s something happening with Tottenham, but there are other clubs interested.”

“In England, there is a growing realisation that you can go far with good football. Arsenal started it and now you also see clubs like Newcastle United, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur playing good football”

“For me, it is important to get regular playing time. I also need a stable club”

In a way I would sort of prefer Douglas over Vertonghen because with either of them my first choice CBs would be Colo and Saylor, and I can't see Vertonghen being happy being backup.

i honestly can't see us getting him besides it's been the press that's linked us with him anyway and who knows the fact carr and pardew have watched Ajax who's to say they weren't watching the left back all along and people have put 2+2 together and got 5 because of the CB issues we've had this season

I'm still happy we passed up the opportunity to sign Marriapa from Watford in January as CB cover. Sure, when Willo was going through a tough spell we all lamented that we hadn't brought in cover but Willo has regained some good form and with the addition of a better CB to challenge the likes of STaylor, Colo and Willo for places next season we could have an even stronger central defence.

Will it be Vertonghen? I couldn't say but if he did arrive I'd be very happy. I'd still be over the moon with the likes of Douglas as well.

It looks as though Newcastle will have a bigger clear-out this summer than we realized.



Leon Best injured his knee against Aston Villa

Lee Ryder is reporting in the Evening Chronicle today, that squad reshaping will begin next week, with a rigorous review of the current first-team roster.

And with the standards having been raised significantly this season, we could see a number of the fringe first team players leave in the summer.

The reports are that Newcastle are now ready to sell both Leon Best and Nile Ranger, and Danny Guthrie may not be retained, and apparently he will learn his future in a couple of weeks.

Danny’s current deal runs out at the end of June, and Leon Best has one year left on his contract, and Newcastle will listen to offers for him in the summer.

Leon did not make the Ireland squad of 23, named by Giovanni Trapattoni yesterday for the Euro 2012 Championships, and the strikers were Robbie Keane, Kevin Doyle, Shane Long, Simon Cox and Jon Walters.

Here is the full Ireland squad for Euro 2012:

Shay Given (Aston Villa), Keiren Westwood (Sunderland), David Forde (Millwall);
John O’Shea (Sunderland), Stephen Kelly (Fulham), Stephen Ward (Wolves), Richard Dunne (Aston Villa), Sean St Ledger (Leicester), Darren O’Dea (Leeds), Kevin Foley (Wolves);
Glenn Whelan (Stoke), Keith Andrews (West Brom), Keith Fahey (Birmingham), Darron Gibson (Everton), Damien Duff (Fulham), Aiden McGeady (Spartak Moscow), Stephen Hunt (Wolves), James McClean (Sunderland);
Robbie Keane (LA Galaxy), Kevin Doyle (Wolves), Shane Long, Simon Cox (both West Brom), Jon Walters (Stoke).

And it’s hardly surprising that Nile Ranger will be moved out, if Newcastle can get a suitable buyer, as he’s had many many chances to shape up at Newcastle, and he hasn’t.

However a potential barrier to him moving on is he’s still on a good deal at Newcastle, which still has four years to run.

The T-shirt he revealed after Sheffield Wednesday were promoted over the weekend said I’m a Changed Man – which was an obvious communication to Newcastle – but it’s probably too late for him at Newcastle

And news that Newcastle will not be signing 19-year-old Melbourne Heart player Curtis Good, and he has returned to Australia.

So it seems that as well as the five players we mentioned yesterday as leaving the club – Alan Smith, Xisco, Peter Lovenkrands, who was in tears on his lap of honor on Sunday, Fraser Forster and Tamas Kadar, it also appears that Nile Ranger, Leon Best and Danny Guthrie could be on their way.

Of those three, we’d like to see Danny Guthrie stay and of course there’s still a big question mark over Danny Simpson, who will also be moved out if he doesn’t sign a new deal in the early summer.

Guthrie wants first team football, and with Newcastle likely to bring in at least two central midfielders in the summer, he may not get many games next season.

But we do have the extra games with European competition, and we suppose that would be up to Danny to see if he wants to stay and fight for his first team place.

So we aren't getting Curtis Good, Leon and Guthrie are leaving

sorry OT i hit edit instead of quote

i'm glad we didn't get him as well

[I Bleed Black & White]

Colo linked with Liverpool? Why would he drop down several places and play for them?
