Chris Hughton put the record straight last night on Sky Sports. The £20m pledged by Mike Ashley will NOT go on transfers. Hughton seemed a little perplexed when asked about the £20m Ashley said he was "putting into the club". The new Toon boss explained the money would go into "the day to day maintenance of the club, not on transfers". Asked if he would be delving into the transfer market in January he replied: "We will sit down and talk about it. "I have been given the go-head to bring in some loan signings." http://www.newcastleunited-mad.co.uk/news/...W&id=470386

Former Newcastle striker Mark Viduka is weighing up offers from two Premier League clubs, according to his agent. Viduka is looking for a new club following the expiration of his contract at St James' Park last week. The Australian international is believed to be keen to stay in England in preparation for next summer's World Cup finals in South Africa. Fulham have been linked with the 33-year-old and Viduka's representative, Steve Kutner, admits two Premier League sides have expressed an interest in the forward. "Mark is mulling over two offers from two very good sides," Kutner told the Sunday Sun. "His reason in continuing to play on at the top level in England is to make sure he is there in South Africa. He's feeling fit again and he's hungry." http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_5415636,00.html

there reports that newcastle have shown interest in jermaine beckford from leeds united for £2million.

We’ve already had some disappointing news on the injury front this morning, and we were surprised and disappointed that Andy Carroll is out of Sunday’s game, but maybe that will give a chance to our wonder kid Nile Ranger. Nile Ranger - will be a substitute for Sunday With Carroll and maybe Owen missing the game on Sunday, fit again Shola Ameobi and 18 year-old England Under-19 youngster, Nile Ranger, will probably compete for a spot on the bench, but we would hope Nile makes the bench. Maybe both these lads will be subs, and certainly both are more than committed to the Newcastle club. As well as Owen and Enrique being doubtful, and Carroll being out, and Habib Beye being very doubtful, we also have two players, Bassong and Barton, who will miss the game through suspension due to red cards. There’s nothing like shooting yourself between the eyes is there? So we will hardly have our best team out on Sunday in a critical game for this club, but Iain Dowie still believes the players who come in will do a good job. Iain Dowie talked to the Newcastle Journal this morning and clarified the injury situation: “Michael’s scan results are positive, so we’re hopeful,” he said. “But he’s yet to train and he’s not 100 per cent. It will go down to the wire, definitely.” “We want him – he’s the club captain and he’s a born goalscorer. If we don’t have him, so be it. We can go in with Oba and Mark, who would have had a goal a piece on another day on Saturday.” “Jose Enrique’s now back to full training but he’s still a little bit stiff. He gives us a different option but I think Damien Duff has been excellent there.” If were to have a fairly tale ending to the season, it would be Nile Ranger coming on in the second half as a sub, and getting the goal that saves Newcastle from relegation. link is here: http://www.nufcblog.com/2009/05/20/nile-ra...ance-on-sunday/
