Twitter gossip…. One winger and one keeper to join?

We all love a bit of gossip, well I know I do anyway, especially when it comes to NUFC!

I’m fully aware that most of it is complete tosh, but I still can’t keep away from it. Like a fat kid in cake shop (I’m ready for the jokes!), I get drawn to it and just have to have a look and a good old chinwag about it. So basically I’ve found a bit of gossip for us all to deliberate over. Many of you will remember the name cwarr07, but if you don’t he is the infamous Twitter chap who gave a lot of people the heads up on certain deals with regard to transfers in and out at NUFC.

Now I’ll be the first to say that I’m always sceptical, but to be fair to whoever it is he called the permanent transfer of Hatem Ben Arfa before it happened as well as the Stephen Ireland loan deal and confirmed the Andy Carroll transfer before it happened. Now I’m not saying he is constantly right, but he has called a few specific deals right.

Anyway, my point is that he has opened up again and has posted this (below) on his Twitter account today. Make of it what you will, but to me there is one name that screams out to me there,
and that is Kieron Westwood from Coventry.

If that is the case then quite what it means for our other goalkeepers will remain to be seen. Forster to Celtic maybe? We’ve been linked with Westwood before so perhaps it’s just me putting two and two together and coming up with five? Westwood is out of contract in the summer and is unlikely to be offered a new deal due to the current troubles at Coventry City.

As for the winger, pass. I’ve no doubt that Seb Larsson will be mentioned as he is out of contract although I was under the impression that no deal could be discussed between two clubs in the same FA until one month before the current deal is due to expire? Mind you, it would be a bit naive to disregard anyone talking to anyone else in a ‘hush hush’ kind of arrangement. Let’s face it, it happens.

So what do you make of it? Just more random gossip or is there something more to it?
