Goodbye Toon

Although I live in Retford mostly, I spend a bit of time in Newcastle with the other half of my family. But today we moved from Toon to Durham which means each match day is going to cost £4.80 more, not that cost matters on such days. The excitement of walking through Kenton to Fawdon Metro station is now a thing of the past.

The Chronicle continued to make us feel warm and fuzzy today by 'revealing' that we aren't going to sign any of our supposed targets:

"Newcastle United have rejected a plea from Sol Campbell, who has made it clear he would love the chance to come to St James' Park.
And on a weekend when United were linked with the likes of PSV midfielder Jefferson Farfan, Jonathan Woodgate, Wayne Bridge, Miroslav Klose, Jermain Defoe and Juventus's Croatian defender Robert Kovac, I can reveal that none of these players will be finding a peg in the St James' Park dressing room."

However not mentioned in our star-studded black-list is Holland striker Dirk Kuyt, who would be a welcome addition. Roeder did reveal today that Farfan is not a target of ours, but hinted that we are talking to clubs and players. Always nice to know, but where are the players?

Quotes from Luque this morning telling of his renewed confidence and fitness. Speaking to other Toon fans, I've come across a lot of 'Maybe Luque is class after all' after his recent fine finishing and Saturday's revelatory performance. All good stuff but lets hope Glenn and Fatpie don't get distracted by his backheels and concentrate more on SIGNING SOME PLAYERS.
