Bolton interested in Nile Ranger for £1m?

Posted June 18th, 2011 by Hugh de Payen | 11 Comments

Whilst the number 9 shirt remains unfilled at Newcastle United, it certainly won’t ever be Nile Ranger’s as was once speculated. The player is well and truly transfer-listed and beginning to attract suitors. It’s all go at Newcastle isn’t it? Between the rumours and the actual transfers that have taken place it’s turning out to [...]

Cabaye, Gameiro, Gervinho etc. – just what’s the situation?

Posted June 6th, 2011 by Hugh de Payen | 154 Comments

A summary of the current transfer targets at Newcastle United, not a single one of which has actually been confirmed by the club! As another week gets underway, we can no doubt expect a load more transfer speculation relating to our club because it is after all silly season. So I thought I’d kick off [...]

Nile up the swanny?

Posted June 5th, 2011 by Hugh de Payen | 47 Comments

It seems that Nile Ranger is surplus to requirements at Newcastle United. According to a fistful of press reports, Nile Ranger is being shown the exit at St James’ Park as he does not figure in Alan Pardew’s future plans. To be honest, he never really got properly started at Newcastle. He was used mainly [...]

Nile Ranger: Gangster Extraordinaire

Posted May 16th, 2011 by Thump | 64 Comments

As a striker, young Nile Ranger hasn’t been the best at hitting the target so on that logic I think this is a story that has been blown way out of proportion. When he shoots, he often misses, gaining him the appropriately affectionate nickname of “Nil Ranger”. Jokes aside, the above is a new picture [...]

Can Kuqi come good for the Toon?

Posted April 21st, 2011 by Thump | 22 Comments

The 34 year old Yugoslavian has barely had a sniff of a football, but can he do a job for us? I’m probably in the minority when I say that Shefki should get more than 3 minute cameos here and there, but I was also in the minority when I backed Leon Best and look [...]

Pardew re Nile: “He’s always on the cusp of being late”

Posted March 7th, 2011 by Hugh de Payen | 17 Comments

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew’s comments about Nile Range don’t make very good reading. There is very little news about Newcastle today beyond our dismal defeat at the hands of Everton. However, I did pick up on some comments about Nile Ranger from Pardew: “We see him day-in and day-out, and I said from day [...]

Toon titbits: King Kev, Nolan, Nile and a glamour model

Posted March 1st, 2011 by Hugh de Payen | 18 Comments

Ex Newcastle United manager Kevin Keegan has been doubting Pardew will see much of the £35m we got from Carroll, Nolan tried to drink his way to international stardom and Nile Ranger nails a glamour model. Wor Kev has been talking to Radio 5 and doesn’t fancy Alan Pardew’s chances of seeing much of the [...]

Ranger nearly loaned out this season – future unknown

Posted February 19th, 2011 by Hugh de Payen | 24 Comments

Newcastle striker Nile Ranger might have been loaned out if not for the Carroll departure and the Ameobi injury. Whilst Chris Hughton thought Nile Ranger would progress better at Newcastle, Alan Pardew originally had different ideas and was prepared to loan Ranger out until Carroll’s departure to Liverpool and Ameobi’s face ache made him reconsider. [...]

Nile Ranger narrowly avoids FA ban

Posted February 12th, 2011 by Hugh de Payen | 4 Comments

Newcastle United’s Nile Ranger narrowly avoids an FA ban thanks – allegedly – to Manchester United. It seems that Nile Ranger was nearly banned from today’s game by the FA. This is all due to the fact that he was ‘injured’ for the midweek international friendly but did not get assessed by an England team [...]

Have Newcastle’s squad players improved?

Posted January 27th, 2011 by CLiNT FLiCK | 16 Comments

Over the last few games Newcastle have had to operate without a few of their regular first team players. Namely: Andy Carroll, Cheick Tiote and Steven Taylor – either because of injury or suspension – and there have also been scares about losing Kevin Nolan and Shola Ameobi. In the meantime, the squad players that [...]
