Newcastle United Transfer News
Newcastle would be considered lucky to start the season with a pair of strikers other than Ameobi and Luque and true to form the transfer beacons at Newcastle are burning bright with moves for Obafemi Martins and Dirk Kuyt still on the cards. With Kuyt it is a matter of matching Feyenoord’s transfer fee demands and competing with Liverpool for his signature. With Martins though, Newcastle have a bigger problem - Martins is saying that he doesn’t want to leave now but his agent is saying that if Inter sign more players it will become impossible for his client to stay.
Since Luca Toni has pledged himself to Fiorentina, Inter are left looking at the Juve strikers. If (and only if) one of those strikers moves to Inter, Martins could be up for sale and then a host of European clubs including Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Liverpool would be competing with Newcastle United for his signature. It’s a situation worth monitoring, and we’ll be updating you on it as more news comes in.
With Faye out of the way, Gravesen could be a new recruit for Newcastle in the next few days. I give him one month before there is a training ground ‘incident’ in which Gravesen is involved.
And then there is this mess with Boumsong. Marseille are interested in the defender but will wait until Ribery is sold before making a move. I feel that maybe Newcastle United could do with another defender, but whether they go for one is another matter.
