Well its not been a good day for my home team as well sadly.

Sedyou Doumbia on Tyneside to complete move to Newcastle as Atletico LB fails to turn up for Medical in favour of a move to Valencia.

Claims in the past 30 minutes suggest Newcastle have made a bid of £21 million for Saido Berahino. This will go all the way to deadline day.

Florian Thauvin returns to OM on loan with movement for Tiote also expected as Newcastle try to reduce the 13 first team midfielders they have.

Unconfirmed but expected reports that the £21 million bid for Berahino has been rejected and Newcastle are expected to rise to £25 million and trigger his release clause.

£25 million for the player who really is not fit to lace the boots of Shearer and Gullit.

Out of interest, does anyone actually rate Berahino highly?

denphone · 31-01-2016, 17:49

Personally l think he is vastly over-rated for what he has done so far and l would not pay more then £7 million for him at the very most as you get very good players from the continent for not much more then that.

All the premiership's Lancashire sides drawn away, except for Palace and West Ham all the London ones at home.

Well its seems you have got a nice and easy tie yet again.

Gullit never played for Newcastle...

He did do a pretty awful job of managing them though. Placing a certain Alan Shearer on the bench in a derby he then lost proved too much with a player revolt the next day spearheaded by Duncan Ferguson.

Apparently Sedyou Doumbia has already signed for Newcastle. Newcastle still need a left back. Appear to still be heading for another striker though which would bring Newcastle to 6 first team strikers, 13 midfielders but only 4 defenders, 3 of which are actually fit.

Yes l know but l was talking about them in the context of them as legendary football players which Berahino certainly is not.

Pep Guardiola to become Man City manager from the summer....

This was a foregone conclusion a month ago, merely tabloids linking him elsewhere in the meantime. It makes sense. Go to the club with unlimited spending power. However if he thinks that will save him he's wrong. Pep is joining a team for the first time that isn't guaranteed anything, a team he'll actually have to manage.

This will solidify him or it'll leave him crushed like Villas-Boas

denphone · 01-02-2016, 13:50

And meanwhile their bitter city rivals fall further and further behind.

adzii_nufc · 01-02-2016, 14:57

Newcastle launch £24 million bid for Berahino apparently.

Forget that though, Ayoze Perez just signed a new 5 year contract. That's the best news I've had this window

Probably insurance that he won't be leaving for pennies. At the same time it's refreshing to see a lad that genuinely loves Newcastle.

I can see why Newcastle want Berahino though where others are asking questions. Something I can answer later.

Again though we're not bothered if it fails and we have to go hunting into the summer window, the more pressing issue is the ridiculous size of the squad and particularly the massively inflated midfield.
