"Newcastle in for Rooney..."

Yes, oh yes. Newcastle have joined the chase for Rooney with a £30 million bid. Just heard it on Newcastle World TV. Dyer looks like he could be heading to either Arsenal or Chelsea for a fee of around £15 million which will enable Newcastle with their combined un-spent Champions League money and the sale of Dyer to take Rooney to St. James on a 5 year deal.

Beattie will be signing for us within the next 48 hours but this...

Well, it was on a news flash but I was still completely shocked. I remember when everyone said we couldn't afford Shearer for £15 million but we did and what a pay off he has been over the years. It's a massive shock to me considering that Milner, Miguel, Carrick and Beattie were the only rumoured players headed for Tyne Side, 2 of those are tied up but now with the possibility of Rooney...

Will be a shame to see Dyer go despite not having an amazing season he has still been there counter attacking at pace and basically throwing himself all over the park. The Dyer transfer hasn't been confirmed officially but to top the reports over the last few seasons of a move to Chelsea someone within the club has spoken of a sale.

The Rooney interest however has been confirmed by the board as a confirmed bid...

The tour of the Far East starts on Wednesday for us so who knows what will happen in the next few days.

I think Beattie is the natural Successor to Shearer, as for Rooney, i don't want him, he doesn't play in the league like he does in internationals, Kluivert i've always rated.

If at all possible, they should take Patrick Kluivert on-loan for a whole season first, before agreeing to any of his ludicrous demands.

I know a lot of people will agree, but I've always found him to be a little in the 'over-rated' department; along with people like Michael Owen. A few good games, many goals for his country, and yet, no matter how crap he plays for Barcelona, he's one of the best in the world, still...

They are releasing him on a FREE for a reason, y'know...! :P


£80,000 is rediculous - it's only a figure built on his quick-sinking reputation. If you ask me, he's barely worth £40,000-a-week Newcastle have apparently already offered.

How much money can one man want to have, anyway!?

:P


Oh, and James Beattie's going nowehere.

Yes Miss Gooner....

Good spotting, I should use you as a dictionary. But hearing the latest, Kluiverts agent has given Newcastle a week to complete the signing. With a reputation like Kluivert I guess we have no chance.

Beattie and Kluivert not Beatie and Klivert by the way.

Never mind Rooney its Beatie or Klivert we should go for, prefer Beatie but either should do the job.
Toon to win something next season?

so very true - apparantly evrybody wants rooney - even real madrid - like they would be able to afford him!

This document was writen by a Notorious Mackem Bob Cas, trying to justify getting the money by selling Dyer of all people? Stick to what your good at Bob, talking rubbish.

Where did we get 15 million from for Dyer? And 30 million for Rooney?! Are you kidding, is the magical pixie fairy at work?

The amounts of money being offered for Rooney truly are ludicrous.
40 mil? What the hell?
