acrossthepond 706 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 World thickest player moves to Russia: Oba Martins to Kasan thats quite a title I liked Oba, wish we still had him I wish nothing but the worst for him. Just gotten the move he deserves. I.e. to oblivion. ...why? Because of how utterly unarsed he was when we were going down. Just couldn't be bothered about us. When Harper said he came into the dressing room at Villa Park and found players already on the phone to their agents getting moves, I think Martins will have been first on that list. It was all very well when it was backflips and getting his name sung, but when we ended up in a real scrap he was nowhere to be found. Like most of the squad that year.

TheMoog 0 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 From the Express: Newcastle have won the race to sign former Arsenal and England defender Sol Campbell. Free agent Campbell, 35, who had been offered a two-year deal by Celtic, now lives in the North East and has been persuaded to continue his playing career there with Chris Hughton’s newly promoted side. Campbell got married yesterday and is expected to sign for the Geordies once he returns from honeymoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could be within your budget. agh wait, why should you sign him but, you have Joe Cole, you're going to win the league.

acrossthepond 706 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I'm sure this is from somewhere else, as are all of soccernet's news items, but since I don't see it on the BBC: Newcastle boss Chris Hughton has denied he is looking to sign Raul, Hatem Ben Arfa, Sol Campbell and Benjani this summer. Newcastle, who have already brought in James Perch and Dan Gosling, have been linked with an array of big names since they secured their return to the Premier League. However, Hughton insists links with the likes of Real Madrid legend Raul - who looks set to join Schalke - and Marseille attacker Ben Arfa have no basis in fact. "It's natural that we get linked with players but none of those names are accurate," he told the Journal. "Raul would have to take a huge pay cut to come here - I don't think he's going to do that! "I read about Ben Arfa. He is a cracking player and it's nice to see us linked with him, but there has been absolutely no contact there whatsoever." Links with Campbell and Benjani - both currently free agents - as well as Scunthorpe striker Gary Hooper have also been dismissed. "I think people have picked up on my relationship with Sol and him being available and come up with that one," Hughton said. "He is a good player but at the moment there's nothing to say on it. There hasn't been any progress." He added: "The Benjani rumour is just wrong - he hasn't been training with us - and there is nothing in the Gary Hooper rumour either." http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id...ers&cc=5901 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 World thickest player moves to Russia: Oba Martins to Kasan thats quite a title I liked Oba, wish we still had him I wish nothing but the worst for him. Just gotten the move he deserves. I.e. to oblivion. ...why? Because despite the platitudes some of the fans seemed to lap up he took the fucking piss. Apart from what ATP said he turned up for training when he wanted if he bothered to turn up at all when Kinnear was here. I appreciate the club was a joke then but Owen was far more professional yet he got crucified by many for not giving a shit. He's fucking shite anyway so I think I'll get my wish.

David Kelly 1117 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 They'll all be out of our league unless we managed to get some sort of first refusal deal when we sold them Given (yes I know there's not a chance of our management being so intellegent!).
