East Stander 0 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 "Glenn Roeder finally landed his No.1 target last night in an audacious swoop for Frenchman Antoine Sibierski. Rumours that the manager was after a defender or striker are wide of the mark the club are well stocked in those positions with the emergence of young homegrown talents such as Taylor and Ramage and the £10million capture of Nigerian sensation Obafemi Martins who achieved his dream move to Newcastle recently." 190035[/snapback] House in the bar (continuing the Anal bingo theme!)

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Odds on we'll have a 'but it's my understanding...etc.' Also, I can guarantee he'll have an interview with either Clark/Taylor/Ramage where these hard working Geordie Legends will tell us the squad have never been so together and are delighted with the new signings. When the club are under pressure, they ALWAYS get a popular local player to spin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34444 Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 Aye I forgot about that. They'll be wheeling out the local boys for a spot of spin. Let's have a no-holds-barred interview with Damien Duff about the promises he was made when he signed. I bet he's about as disappointed as the rest of us. Shay Given an'all.

Gemmill 34444 Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 Here we go! Newcastle United made a late beat-the-deadline bid to bring international defenders Lucas Neill and Zat Knight to St James' Park - but both failed. And United's £2m bid for Middlesbrough striker and Aussie colleague of Neill's, Mark Viduka, was also rejected, leaving United's only deadline acquisition as Manchester City's French midfielder Antoine Sibierski. And on a day when some of the happenings in football were nothing short of amazing, United stopped James Milner from signing for Aston Villa for £5m after their young striker had been given permission to travel to the Midlands yesterday morning. Glenn Roeder had to face Milner at the club's training ground this morning and I just do not know what the Newcastle United boss could say to his England Under-21 international, who must be feeling lower than the proverbial snake's belly. On Wednesday morning Roeder was confident that he would sign Robert Huth, Viduka and the versatile Blackburn Rovers defender Neill. But Huth, his No 1 defensive target from the moment he took over in May, was allowed to agree a £6m deal with Middlesbrough instead of coming to St James' Park. However, in the end Huth stayed at Chelsea because Jose Mourinho felt he was short of a central defender following a switch between William Gallas and Ashley Cole. The Cole-Gallas deal was only done with minutes to spare and far too late for United to get Wayne Bridge to St James' Park. This will probably happen in January but that is a million miles away as far as United supporters are concerned. And in Viduka, Milner, Huth and Bridge I would say there are four very unhappy footballers today. Roeder himself would have been a lot happier had he been able to pull off either the Neill or the Knight deals but time was always going to be against him. And after receiving a `no' from Mark Hughes in response to his £2.5m bid for Neill, Roeder was rejected again by Chris Coleman at Fulham when he asked about Knight. Knight, who actually has two England caps and played in New Jersey when Michael Owen grabbed his hat-trick, would have given United some much-needed height. Now they will have to look to the 32-year-old Sibierski to do that. Roeder said: "Sibierski is a versatile player as he can play in several positions and his best asset is that he is good in the air." Meanwhile, Espanyol came in with a late bid for Albert Luque but it was so low United could not take it seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally 0 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Huth has signed for Boro hasn't he? Fucking idiot. If he was the top target since May why did we not make an approach when he very nearly signed for Boro during the World Cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34444 Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 Aye, Huth has gone to Boro. Utter spastic. I love the way Huth has been our key transfer target since April, but the first Huth heard of it is when we tried to hijack his medical at Boro. His SECOND medical at Boro, after they already tried to sign him a month or two ago. Way to get your man, Glenn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Quite restrained that article. Didn't Blackburn say the other day they weren't budging on Neil for less than £4m? So we offer £2.5m. Bet that had them on the ropes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 0 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 We should be pleased we failed then. Zat Knight is absolutely woeful. We all had concerns over Roeder's player spotting and transfer policies and this window has really shown we've not been targeting the right players. Should anyone take over the club, it won't be long before there is a management roeder-re-shuffle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
