Scottish Mag 3 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 From the Mirror - NEWCASTLE have finally agreed a deal for a striker, but it is Spaniard Alberto Luque on his way to St James's, not Michael Owen. Boss Graeme Souness still hopes a deal can be done for Real Madrid's Owen, but will be relieved to have added Luque to his squad. After a week-long chase Deportivo La Coruna announced a £9million deal for their Spain international last night, a figure that also includes a hefty sum to the player as a sweetener. Souness has been desperate to relieve the pressure on veteran Alan Shearer, and hopes Luque, who has yet to undergo his medical, will be just the first of several arrivals before the end of next week. Luque has already played at St James' this season, coming on as a second half sub when Deportivo knocked Newcastle out of the InterToto Cup. Newcastle also plan a £12million move for Dutch hit man Dirk Kuyt of Feyenoord today - if Owen refuses to join them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work away mid-week and was watching that skysports footy thing on Wednesday night and they we're chuntering before the games kicked off and Charlie Nicholas was talking about some team (forget who) who was bidding for Kiut, and he finished his sentence with "I also have information Newcastle are pretty far down that road as well".

nufc4ever 0 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 (edited) Never seen him play, but he seems very highly rated which only sounds promising.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Kezman had a great record in the Dutch league. God I'm depressing myself. Saying that, Van Nistlestroodle had a good record and he's done well. Depression lifted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 (edited) Hate to bring up this up but this is Kezman's record at PSV. I know Kuyt is a different sort of player but it's worth a look. I'm still excited by this signing. 00-01 PSV Eindhoven 24 Goals, 33 Games 01-02 PSV Eindhoven 15 Goals, 27 Games 02-03 PSV Eindhoven 35 Goals, 33 Games 03-04 PSV Eindhoven 31 Goals, 29 Games EDIT: Sorry SLP, I took a couple of minutes searching for the stats so didn't see your post! He seems more in the Van Nistlerooy mould than the Kezman mould anyway. Edited August 26, 2005 by DotBum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 All we need after Kuyt (how do you spell his name? There's been Kuyt, Kujit, and Kiuyt so far ) is a winger! Anyone think Andy Van Der Meyde at 2 million is worth a shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Shearergol was a big fan of Kezman, but I thought he looked complete turd in the UEFA cup against us and then for Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
