Newcastle have been linked with a new name today, one of 62,349 transfer links to date. The Daily Mail seem to believe that Newcastle are close to capturing 20-year old Dutch defensive midfielder, Leroy Fer. I’ve never heard of him to be honest, but apparently Fer, nicknamed ‘the bouncer’ due to his strong physique, is [...]

It looks like the protracted Hatem Ben Arfa saga could finally be reaching a solution that will please most Newcastle fans. The story has been well publiscised, but it hasn’t been Newcastle doing all the shouting. That has been left to Marseille and the player himself, but after a few days of entertaining dialogue between [...]

Newcastle are now just three days away from kicking off their Premier League campaign, but expectations on Tyneside have never been lower. I think most Newcastle fans will be happy to survive this season, although lack of investment in the playing squad means that will be a massive gamble, and it appears that it is [...]

I am just about ready to put my neck on the block and say that I don’t think we will be getting Hatem Ben Arfa anytime soon, anytime at all in fact. It’s my opinion that the protacted transfer saga has gone on for far too long for the move to materialise now. I would [...]

Reports in the Italian press are suggesting that Newcastle have won the race to sign Marseille midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa.

Newcastle have actually bid for Marseille’s Hatem Ben Arfa, and the player is keen on joining us according to reports in the French press. The French publication La Mercato is reporting that Newcastle have had a bid turned down for the player who was once dubbed as the future of French football, but talks will [...]

Newcastle manager Chris Hughton is hopeful of clinching the loan signing of Tom Cleverley this week, and he hasn’t given up hope of signing Hatem Ben Arfa either, according to The Daily Mail. The paper suggests that Cleverley could be next through the door at St James’ Park, and that the deal will be decided [...]

Sol Campbell became signing number three of the summer as he completed his move to St James’ Park earlier on today. Campbell will no doubt beef up our central defensive options and his signature will leave us looking pretty solid in the middle of defence, well in my opinion anyway. With everyone fit we would [...]

It looks like former Midllesbrough player and current Stoke City player, Tncay, could be heading out of the Brittania Stadium over the summer, and Newcastle should try and sign him in my opinon. Rumour has it that the Turkish forward is looking for assurances from Stoke boss Tony Pulis over his role in the team [...]
