I think Figo would be a massive signing. He started 33 of Real's 38 league games, only missing the other 5 because of an argument with the manager (hence why he is now leaving), he also started all 10 of Real Madrid's Champions League games, scoring 4 goals. If it wasn't for his fallout with Vanderlei Luxemburgo he'd still be a regular in the Real team now. If he's good enough for Real Madrid, he's good enough for us!
Sky Sports were reporting this evening that Figo has been in talks with Newcastle and says he would like to go there but I get the feeling someone else is going to come in and scupper the deal at the last minute. |
Saw that, still secptical though. GOing on how how he wants to join newcastle, yet no qoutes.
I still think he could end up anywhere, wouldnt really put newcastle as strong favourites. |

Me neither, but it's certainly a possibility. We will have to persuade him to take a wage cut though.
The Emre deal is pretty certain though. |

Is that 4 million euros? If so, that's a bargain! Ok, he's not world class, but he's pretty good. |

Turkey international Emre Belozoglu has confirmed he has signed a deal with Newcastle United.
Emre revealed earlier in the week that he had reached an agreement with a Premiership club but refused to name the team in question.
Newcastle have moved to the forefront of the chase for the Internazionale winger in recent weeks, after Arsenal, Everton, Liverpool and Manchester United all held an interest in the past.
Magpies boss Graeme Souness flew to Istanbul on Thursday for talks with the 24-year-old and has persuaded the midfielder to move to St James' Park.
Fenerbahce had been keen to lure Emre back to Turkey but he is relishing the chance to play for Newcastle, citing Souness as a major factor in his decision.
"I'm a player of Newcastle now and I believe that I will be very successful there," said Emre.
"Newcastle United are one of the biggest teams in Britain and their offer was very attractive - that's why I chose to be with them.
"I'm going to a well-established and large club. I'm very happy for it.
"Of course, having Galatasaray's ex-manager at Newcastle was another strong factor in my decision."
Emre acknowledged Fenerbahce's offer but conceded it is too early in his career to play in his homeland again.
He added: "Many teams, including Turkey's Fenerbahce, approached me but I have always said that I wanted to play in Europe for many years to come.
"I am still very young, I do not want to go back to Turkey so soon as I have a lot to do yet."
Newcastle have still to announce the deal is completed as it is believed they are haggling over a £4 million fee with Inter. |
