Newcastle to outsmart Spurs for Raul?

You mean you're not THE Raul?

You mean you're not THE Raul?

Yes I know, the headline is as subtle as a brick but it may as well be the Raul, because the latest rumour is that we’re after Espanyol hotshot Raul Tamudo, capped by his country, all-time top goalscorer for his club and generally the sort of fella that a) we’ve been told we’ll not be going after and b) would extremely unlikely to get, if we were.

It might explain things better if I mention that the story comes from the Daily Mail. And to add interest to the speculation, he has been close to ripping up his contract with Espanyol, but has now turned to the board to plead that he be loaned out for the remainder of the season. That being with a view to a permanent move in the summer. Contract issues and a season long loan? Seems like an unnerving combination of the hassles we had with Gutierrez and Gonzalez.

If that wasn’t enough spice, our old foes (by this I mean the baffling ill-feeling that seemed to exist between the two clubs over the last few years), Tottenham Hotspur, are apparently after him as well. The insinuation being though that Redknapp’s desire to sign a centre-forward may be determined by his ability to offload Pavlyuchenko. Apparently Wigan were also after him back in the summer but are no longer thought to be in the reckoning.

While Spurs have one over on us, with the whole being a division above thing, our Spanish-speaking players could play a factor in making a move to Tyneside attractive, as would first team football. But here I am giving the story the time of day after I mocked the source and yes of course many tiny little sachets of salt should be kept at hand for all eventualities. The way the press report things about us, it’s difficult not to be cynical, but he’s thirty-two and desperate for a move, so hey maybe I’m wrong? But until I see something updated on Wikipedia I’ll not believe a word of it…….

    I wonder if mentioning the spuds will bring that loon who pretended to be a mag on eds blog, but was really a spuds fan.
    Anyway I would have thought that there would be a few pl clubs that would be interested in a loan. Basically he’s not coming.

    File it under paper talk.
    The tabloids have to fill space with the usual nonsense and if we sign any of the jillions of players we will be associated with between now and the jan. window, I will be surprised.
    Past practice at this club, will again define our plans, nothing but loanee`s or free agents are to be expected, unless MA makes a big score at the casino that is.
    The main difference is the quality of those we were once associated with has declined considerably.

    toonsy,  if you mean Mike Ashley, he’s never been a Spurs supporter. He used to be a Stamford Bridge man. The ‘Spurs thing was just a wind up inspired by his close friendship with then ‘Spurs director, Paul Kelmsley.

    N o offence, but if Tottenham ever went for Tamudo (although I doubt we would, and wouldn’t think he’d be interested in warming our bench) then he’s definitely pick us over you. Moreover, he’d rather stay at Espanyol than join you. He gets to play for his boyhood club, get paid well, and play against the likes of Barca and Real Madrid.

    Bowburn, one thing you didn’t mention, he is thirty two. If they did persuade him to come here, they’d probably have to offer him a decent contract which lasted three years plus, which would make him a thirty five year old striker. But it’s probably all rubbish anyway.

    worky - I have mentioned it on the third last line, which is why I haven’t completely discounted the idea! Yeah, you could see someone that age perhaps generally doing a job to help get us up and then maybe a season in the Premiership but then he might struggle. Guess it depends on what shape he’s in? Admittedly, I’ve not seen much Spanish footy lately so I wouldn’t know.

    well worky, there were more than one thing he didnt mention. What about what he ate for his dinner yesterday? The cost of his football boots? What is his mother called? I could go on and think of thousands of things bowburn didnt mention.
    Youre definitely right about your poor concentration at the moment.

    I agree mostly with the youngsters part, we’ve got a fresh start, through bad management & poor circumstances but we have a chance to re-build, there’s experience in the squad from the likes of Nolan, Colo, Harper & Butt, but we have a lot of youth coming through who are mostly showing themselves to be big future prospects, currently, we need to bolster the squad but lets not blow what cash we do have on a couple of seasons worth

    This guy is clearly a nobody who wouldnt get on the bench at Spurs, he would probably be paraded round newcastle on an open top bus if they signed him. Newcastle should be looking at signing players from there own league or lower because thats all they can attract. FACT.  Enjoy being in that division because thats all your good for.

    Never had any problem with mags in the past and have been to and around the Newcastle area many a time visiting friends and football obviously. But! The amount of shiite that we had to put up with in our time of trouble, ie, management turmoil, Jol, Ramos etc from an invasion of barcodes giving the big one. You`re going down, you`re shiiter than shiiite and deserve all that comes to you etc, etc.
     
    Funny when the boot actually fitted the other foot, you closed your footy boards and started to ban anyone and everyone with a negative post. So sorry if there is no sympathy on my part, you actually did deserve all you got.
     
    Good luck with the promotion race, what ever way you look at it, clubs like ours need each other.

    I think you should keep should of that torch since the we’re closer to getting out of the shadow of ar*enal than you are of Sunderland (division above and all that!!).

    Egnor “Get over yourselves, you blame everyone else for your predicament you are in at the moment and refuse to look in the mirror for the real reason.”

    I campaigned last year that the fans were as equally ( or moreso) to blame as any other failing in the club-so not everyone can not see what they have become. But your sentiments are correct – many of my friends around the UK have the same view as you – only the insular self absorbed blamecaster element of our fans think that they are blameless.

    bowburnmag bowburnmag says:

    EngNor – tit-for-tat? I have plenty of mates who are Spurs’ fans and even though some of them actually are tools when it comes to footy, I wouldn’t tar everyone with the same brush. I would imagine you’d have to be pretty offensive to get refused your say on here. Personally, I wouldn’t celebrate anyone’s downfall (OK maybe the Mancs….) but I realise not everyone is like-minded.

    Dr John - to be fair it was about time they stepped out of our’s. I see our relegation as sort of charity work, kind of like a little donation you’d make. A chance for them to shine brightly for a short whi;le. That is until the universe is righted and we climb above them again.

    Every club in every corner of the world have the same fans, there is no difference in how you support or barrack the team. Spurs are no different, there are very negative fans that stand on the terraces at the Lane, the same goes for St. James`. Until they realise that it is very counter productive and can have a dire affect on the club, their clubs will struggle. We have c@nty fans as do you.

    really?
    well maybe before coming to another teams blog and starting to sling insults around you ought to look a little further, you get more respect with a formed opinion
    I’ve nothing against any other teams fans unless they choose to shoot their mouth here, I don’t do it because I don’t feel strongly enough to bother them on their own doorstep, if that makes me stroppy then I’ll accept that, personally I just think it’s todays form of hooliganism for the lazy

    On what do you deluded Geordies base newcastle have more supporters than Spurs? Bigger ground? Which you cant fill!! What about the 22 thousand spurs have on the waiting list for a season ticket?? Spurs are a far bigger club than newcastle FACT. It made my year when you idiots were relegated, its all you deserve for thinking you are something your not. Even Keegan tried to shite on you in court. Ashley should be knighted for his work at the sportsdirect.com@stjamespark . FACT. I personally called it the 50thoushanddeludedpricks@stjamespark.com. FACT

    Micky Toon Micky Toon says:

    Dr John, your not making sense.  Are you deriding us for having a bigger ground than you?  That is warped logic if I’ve ever seen it, but I think I understand what you are saying.
    I’ll keep the numbers nice and simple for you.
    Say we had a 100,000 seater ground and could only get 80,000 people through the door, that would only be 80% full.
    You, hypothetically, have a 50,000 seater ground (you wish) and you get 50,000 through the door.  You are 100% full, but still have less supporters in the ground than us.
    I really can’t make it any clearer for you, can I?
    You are having the best season you’ve had in recent times.  We are having the worst and yet we still get more bums on seats. That must really smart.
