The fee is said to be £6.5 million which is less that what previously speculated bids had been for.
Negotiations have been going on between the clubs for weeks now but with no end in sight it had appeared that a deal would be hard to conclude. However, if true, the sign of an agreement will hopefully signal the beginning of the end of this transfer saga, with the end being that Erdinç ends up at St James’ Park for the start of the new season.
There have been many rumours over why the deal has taken so long to get anywhere. From a change of management at the Paris club, to the player not wanting to come, to agent interference, to the alleged presence of a loyalty bonus payable in August placing a spanner in the works, we’ve pretty much heard it all.
I won’t go into too much detail about the player as, quite simply, we’ve all talked about him often enough over the summer, looked at his stats, his videos, and so on, so it seems kind of pointless doing it again.
What I will say is that if we can pull it off then we will have improved our front line with the signing of the 24-year-old as he looks as though he can finish, has a bit of pace, and a trick or two. Plus he seems to be highly rated by Graham Carr, and to be fair he hasn’t really let us down yet has he?
However a word of caution if I may? Remember what day it is? Yes, that’s right – Sunday. Because of that I’ll be taking this with liberal sprinklings of salt and will wait to see if anything concrete develops before getting too excited about it.
If true though, it would be a good move in my opinion.
holy ****…finally got back to the website after countless connection reset. 👿 👿

I’ll show my **** in Fenwicks window if he becomes a Toon player before on of our strikers is shipped out. 🙄

I must admit Toonsy I was a little disapointed with your addicts are losers craic last night. If you ever have addicts in your family I hope you show more compassion and understanding than u did last night, nobody is beyond help m8.. thats all…
Aye, would be a good signing if tru… 🙂
mark(Quote)
I think PSG have accepted a lower fee so we pay his loyalty bonus at the same time keeping his wages low with bonus incentives.
Not sure he is any better than ameobi tho 😕
At least you have had your crack waxed in time for the grand baring of the **** Bobby 😆 😆

Toonsy is not well fella. I think he’s an ex plonky, druggie and Japanese slave. He’s had a disturbed background which distorts his views on those who are suffering.
He hates every single Liverpool fan, anyone who is an addict no matter their circumstance and anyone who gets on his bus., 😆 😆 😆

“nobody is beyond help m8.”
Absolutely, I agree, and it wasn’t that what was my point although in a rather ham-fisted way it sort of was. My point being are that there are those that are addicted who can be helped (which is fair play and I respect them greatly for beating whatever it is), and there are those that can’t be helped, like Winehouse and money others throughout history. I always got the sense that she didn’t want to change which is a shame, but ultimately change starts with yourself kind of thing.

well done m8, if thats your mission to get bites by calling addicts loser..good on yer..
addicts come in all shapes and sizes m8, regardless of talent, money etc..
My wifes sister is an alcoholic, beautiful looking girl, sincere and smart, unfortunately she was sexually abused of her peers from the age of 2 til 13 which has left her totally ****** up…but aye perhaps she was a loser at 2 when she didnt stop the shadowy figure in her bedroom..
shame, you seem quite intelligent, just shows….
enjoy your brownie bite points.. this will be my last post on here..

Erdinc is terrible, its an absolutely awful signing if this is supposed to be Andy Carroll’s replacement! He needs too many touches for the English game, he will be another Guivarch. Gutted!

Woke up at 5 on a Sunday morning to see a very heartless display.Ruined my day and along with that a well deserved break. The only people who seemed like they cared were Colo, Tavernier and Vuckic and Abeid when they came on.Am totally fine with losses in friendlies but its the lack of effort that drives me crazy.
And does anyone think BA’s style of play is almost identical to Amoebi?
And any idea why Marveaux didn’t play yesterday mates?
deepak is an indian toon(Quote)
They were saying last week that the clubs had agreed a fee but his agent wasnt getting the cut he wanted.
Is that likely to still be the same or has the agent met with an untimely accident?
Maybe he was an addict and just didn’t have the willpower to stick with it 😈
Archie Brand(Quote)
No – don’t think Ba’s style of play is identical to Ameobi.
Ba scores goals
Archie Brand(Quote)
Haven’t seen him like, but by all accounts young Abeid seems like a canny player, one for the future. Well done wor lot for wangling him to the toon I say…

SD@11…I share your fears mate, hopefully he will come good, 6,5 million quid is a lot of cash.
Munich Mag(Quote)
Formation 4-2-3-1 Ba and who off? That is the question, will we pay that much for a player that will not start, or will we push Benny out wide maybe. Its a nice problem to have though don’t get me wrong!!

Toonsy,
Think you were a bit unfair with the addicts thing
I have a mate who has twenty odd thousand pounds in gambling debts, cant give up gambling, drugs, smoking or drinking, and blames it all on his “addictive personality”.
He is not weak willed.
He’s a ****!
There’s a difference.

This has got to be b0ll0cks really. Hasn’t he already said he doesn’t want to come to the Toon about fawa times anyway?

I’ve heard that everything was agreed with us but his agent was holding things up. Now we’ve bypassed him and gone to the club to agree a fee. Dunno how true it is though.

sunday express have ran…6 transfer deals…which say are dun deals…1 might be right….pot luck..

…well here’s hoping Toonsy. I know agents can be a proper pain in the **** like. Like most rumours though, it’s usually these fkers who spread them to stoke up bids. Although I know very little about Erding all the media hype has made me think he’s good! Shame we missed out on Gervinho like, looks the real deal. 😡

Mark – I’m sorry if my viewpoint upsets. I hope it doesn’t drive to you drug abuse or something other addictive. I also notice you completely disregarded all of my other posts about it, about people helping themselves, trigger points, etc.
If you can’t at least respect my right to my own opinion then fair enough chap. I’ll not beg for you to continue to post as you’ve already shown you can single out individual areas of posts to try and skew a view.

No, wait, forget Erdinc.
Breaking news.
The toon are in for Gameiro and they’ve agreed a fee.
His agent tried to hold it up by getting him signed to another club, but Newcastle don’t care because they think any news of being linked to striker is enough to fool the sheeple.
They are just waiting to see if he will agree terms or if he is really greedy and wants more than minimum wage.
