Scottish Mag 3 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 The chairman of Newcastle, Freddy Shepherd, has told his Portsmouth counterpart, Milan Mandaric, to put up the money if he wants to re-sign the Senegal international midfielder Amdy Faye. It has been suggested that the new Pompey manager, Harry Redknapp, has put Faye close to the top of his shopping list as he attempts to rebuild for a Premiership survival campaign in January. However, talk of a loan deal has been scotched by Shepherd, who insisted he would only consider a cash offer for a player who arrived on Tyneside from Fratton Park in January. "If Portsmouth - or anyone else for that matter - want any of our players in January, then they will have to put their money on the table," he said. The 28-year-old's chances of regular first-team football for Newcastle appear slim with summer signings Scott Parker and Emre Belozoglu likely to forge a regular central midfield partnership once the Turkish international returns from injury. Faye will link up with Senegal for the African Cup of Nations next month and will be missing for several weeks. But with speculation mounting that Lee Bowyer could move from Tyneside during the transfer window, the club may be reluctant to offload too many players. Nicky Butt, Laurent Robert, Hugo Viana and James Milner are all out on loan for the season and the Magpies are unlikely to want another of their players away from the club on a temporary basis.

Gemmill 34436 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Glad to hear it. We've been stupid over the last few seasons with the loan deals for the likes of Butt, Robert and Viana. The only one that's made any sense is Milner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckypierre 0 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 definitely both. Milner seems to be coming on well with Villa and I dont think he would have offered less than Solano (no criticism of Solano). We could have done with Vianna as an understudy to Emre this season already. He's no less physical than him and he would certainly give us something we're lacking. All this on the assumption that we'd have a manager who would get the best out of them and the fact that they'd want to come back too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that I don't think Viana was given a fair chance with Newcastle. Anyone know how he's getting on this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
