Much of the news today appears to be centred around Robbie Keane and his alleged preferance of joining Newcastle in the January transfer window. Of course, it is all speculation until proven otherwise, and the closest that any of these reports can muster with regard to a quote is from the proverbial inside source from [...]

The good news today, even though I personally expected it, is that the rumours linking Joey Barton with a move away form Newcastle appear to be false. Alan Pardew has today reiterated that no players are for sale in January, and that includes the likes of Joey Barton and Andy Carroll – both of whom [...]

The inevitable transfer speculation has begun, which is perhaps unsurprising as the January transfer window is just around the corner. A lot of the speculation seems to be regarding our players, which you could put down to a number of reasons. Perhaps it seems that way because it is what most of us look for? [...]

Not much to report today. Just the frustrating fact that this miserable December day has hindered football across the country. Not that I particularly care that the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal are no longer playing their fixtures.

Initial indications suggest that the reason for this is indeed that contract talks have broken down, but who is to blame for it? I would suggest that his agent isn’t too far away from being the cause [...]

Day 52, and still there is no conclusion to the series of dramatic events that have unfolded regarding the transfer/loan/whatever of Hatem Ben Arfa. It appeared that Werder Bremen were close to sealing a deal for the Frenchman yesterday, which has been denied by them today. Just another rumour then. At the end of the [...]

It’s been nearly four months since promotion back to the Premier League was guaranteed. The mood was optimistic and getting promoted so early would surely mean we could steal a march on the competition in the transfer market, right? Wrong, or so it seems. Here we are with only 13 days of the transfer window [...]

The match at Manchester United last night had some positive and negative points, but one thing that was blatantly obvious is that the squad needs bolstering. No matter which way you look at it, there is a desperate need for new faces to help out the squad. One look at the substitutes bench last night [...]
