Keep up to speed with Deadline Day LIVE on NUFC Blog!

Will Maiga make a deadline day move to Newcastle?
Sky Sports are at least partially responsible for turning transfer deadline day into the circus that it is currently.

They will no doubt have reporters camped outside training grounds around the country and Jim White will no doubt be fizzing about how the transfer window is “marvellous entertainment”.

Ask Newcastle fans about that!

David Craig will be somewhere looking dazed, confused and a little bit like an older version of Tim nice but Dim from the Harry Enfield program. It’s going to be another mad one for sure.

But if you can’t beat them, join them is how the saying goes. That is why we’ll be running a live transfer ‘blog from around 11am to right up until the transfer window slams shut at 11pm tomorrow evening so we can keep you up to speed with the goings on, rumours and any transfer titbits that happen to come to our attention.

Of course there is still a chance that we could see some players arrive at Newcastle on deadline day. It’s more based on hope on my part as the form book suggests that I should be watching the ‘out’ door and not the ‘in’ door, but if you haven’t got a bit of hope then what are you left with? Here’s hoping we manage to keep hold of our key players. Quite simply we’ve lost enough of them recently.

So all you have to do is turn on, tune in to us and let us take the strain out of deadline day. You can even bookmark the page so you can go away and do something (like work, maybe?) and come back a bit later to see what has happened and what has failed to happen. Or both.

We look forward to seeing you here on NUFC Blog

  1. @ Toonsy If you think your servers are bad when the matchday happen, wait till tomorrow’s deluge…

    Fair point on Marveaux, strange one perhaps they hired Llambias as their transfer consultant for the day…

  2. I expect Manchester United striker Federico Macheda to go nufc on loan.

    Maiga deal to nufc most probably off due to this.>>> Leeds United have rejected Sochaux’s bid for Max Gradel. Sochaux chairman Alexander Lacombe has said: “This case is closed now.”

    Then as for LB. Santon to be reveil on deadline transfer day.

    Then that’s it i presume. 😎 Macheda and Santon. Maybe another LB might come in.

    As for Muntari this is what his representative said.>>>>Spurs and Fulham are chasing Inter Milan midfielder Sulley Muntari, according to the player’s European representative. “Tottenham and Fulham are several of the Premier League teams that are interested,” Claudio Mossio said. “But right now his destination is not unclear.” Full story

  3. where the hell has santon gone lol lol????? also, i think not much chance of a striker now from all accounts. i will be happy with a good LB in now i guess.. its the usual ****, last day of window panic stations. jokers..
    It would not be so pathetic but the berths we are trying to fill are long standing obvious ones…this should have been a no brainer and been wrapped up in time for pre season if we are honest.

  4. What’s with the server crashing today. 😕

    Also,i reckon nufc are looking at spurs midfielders.

  5. Oh meant to say I hope sky is right as I think Santon could be better than Jose, just from the little of him I have seen and some of the comments by Top players and Footie people. 😉

  7. Nah, DJG. That’s spurs’ line. 😉

    Very excited to get santon in. Can’t remember who said it, but the idea of having him cover left for now while ferguson gets up to speed and then to take the right side could make for some beautiful attacking football at some point!

    FINALLY

  8. Just waiting for the eternal doom merchants to arrive and start slagging off this deal.

    Just need Sturridge and Van Anholt from Chelsea. Then we would have had a pretty good transfer window.

    It’s easy to just sit and say we won’t do this, we won’t do that, Ashley, Owl Heed Whaa, whaa….

    I don’t think there is one person who wouldn’t jump for joy if the both left, especially owl heed, but to constantly moan about it must be getting tiresome by now.

    Still gutted about Pieters not coming off though.

  9. FSOTC – Very good news. I expect some slimy comment from Lamearse telling us how they are comitted to bringing international class players to the club, how Mike’s ringpiece smells of roses etc etc

  10. Fsotc, the link isn’t working for me, but that would be a beautiful surprise if we brought in cisse!

  11. Does this mean some *** or other is supposed to press his or her *** against the window of some department store or other? I can’t keep track of which commenter is supposed to drop trou.

  12. “Santon is a good looking lad. Not a patch on Dreamboat Cabaye though”

    None of them can hold a light to the one and only Ginola. *swoon*

  13. Not official yet lads. I bet that pesky fatman, owlheed and patsy have paid him to come across and model the training kit just to **** the dreamers off 🙄

  14. Would love to see pappas cisse come in! Quality striker that has made a lot of his goals. Would be quality striker here

  15. I really hoped we could give Smith to Leeds to encourage them to allow Gradel to go Schoux so we could get Maiga spl :mrgreen:

  16. Asim – What you on about? Why should I be thanking Ashley? It’s Liverpool, Swansea and West Ham we should be thanking. 😉

  26. dont think we will be spending any serious money on a top class striker, would have happened by now! free agents, loan signings and youngsters who as soon as they become half decent will be sold to help finance fattys other business ventures and obscene gambling adictions!!! we are going nowhere very very fast. will be relieved if and when we amass another 33 points!!! SOOOO hope im wrong. HWTL.

  27. asim,why should we be thankfull to ashley….
    its not his money we are soending its the clubs…
    ashley has done nowt.
    the jose money has went into buying santon..

    where is the judas money

      (Quote)

  28. Asim, I think all Craig was saying (apart from the insults) was we’ve just replaced what we already had a week ago, so aren’t THAT much better off.

    We do still need a Left Back and Striker, bare minimum. I think that’s easy for all to see.

  29. Probably nothing of note from Lyon:

    PARIS, Aug 30 (Reuters) – Olympique Lyon have signed French defender Mouhamadou Dabo from Sevilla on a four-year deal, the Ligue 1 club said on Tuesday.
    “The transfer fee is one million euros ($1.45 million), with 0.8 million of possible incentives,” Lyon said in a statement.
    Dabo, 24, can play as a left or right fullback.
    Lyon added that his arrival would help the club deal with the possible departure of Lamine Gassama. (Reporting by Julien Pretot, editing by Pritha Sarkar)

  33. Who the hell is Lamine Gassama? Could it make room for us to still bring in cissokho?? Yea, it could. Waiting and waiting…

      (Quote)

  34. stevey C always possible. Can’t expect every prospect to be brill. Looks like Kadar is not good enough apparently. Mind you the source is only Ed.

  35. good…its all the clowns who are pissed with ashley..who is moving the club forward…what crack..they are idiots..

      (Quote)

  36. JiggaJoe, probably still Maiga. If so it will go down to the wire, with Sochaux waiting until Leeds accept their improved bid for Gradel. I can see it still happening. I reckon Macheda on loan will be the backup plan. Probably completely wrong like.

      (Quote)

  37. Cheers Rodzilla,

    In Graham Carr we trust I guess, hope Maiga is up to the standard. Happy with Santon tho.
