It’s clear that Mike Ashley has tightened the purse strings at St James’ Park, and the consequences could be bad as far as the team is concerned. Many fans will have been disappointed to see Newcastle lose James Milner, even if they did get £10 million from Aston Villa for him, and the words of […]

Things change quickly in the world of football. One minute a player is getting rave reviews for helping his team win a Carling Cup match, the next thing he has handed in a transfer request and then he’s gone - just like that. Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan must be pretty annoyed that he’s lost one […]

‘Pack your bags and leave tonight’ is one of the lyrics to Wham’s ‘Club Tropicana’ and it’s a sentiment that will be shared by James Milner after he handed in a request to leave Newcastle this week. The winger is one of the star talents in the Magpies squad, although the PFA claim that United […]

There was Kevin Keegan, telling the press how great a performance he thought this player had delivered on Tuesday night, when the person in question was getting ready to tell his manager and the board that he no longer wanted to be plying his trade at Newcastle!

While Alan Hansen was wrong to claim “you’ll never win anything with kids”, I think it’s fair to say that a team certainly won’t be radically enhanced by Danny Guthrie and Jonas Gutierrez. Yes yes, Newcastle fans, I realise your exciteable manager and hoardes of directors are probably working round the clock to bring new […]

The Guardian reports that Newcastle winger James Milner is surplus to requirements at St James’ Park and this has got three clubs drooling over the prospect of nabbing him:
Liverpool, Villa and Everton are among several clubs monitoring James Milner’s situation at Newcastle United. He will be allowed to leave for about £5m. […]

With rumours of a big squad clearout, it’s not hard to believe that there are going to be some fresh faces arriving at Anfield. Sadly, there aren’t many particularly exciting or high-profile names being thrown around just yet.
Hot on the heels of being linked to Wigan’s Luis Valencia, it seems that the tabloids have got […]
