Apparently the Emre deal could be off. The player claims he is coming to Newcastle but his agent says there is a disagreement between the clubs, possibly over the fee.
I wouldn't be surprised if another Premiership club uses this opportunity to jump in and try to seal a deal with Inter. |

Nobody really likes diving.. but you guys take it to the extreme, seeming to prefer a bad player who doesn't dive than a good player who dives. Diving doesn't win games by itself (good teamwork does), and i have no doubts that it wasn't what won us the games against Celtic and Man Utd the last 3 seasons ;) |

Prepare to be flamed. LMAO
On other news, John Aloisi going from Osasuna to Panathaikos. He's had a good spell in Premier League before, and in recent Confederation Cup he has 4 goals in group stage. Would have been good pick up for any mid level team. |

Unfortunately not. Freddy Shepherd loves the attention and Souness is just.... Souness.
I think we'll get Emre in the end as he's already declared himself a Newcastle player. It seems that either Inter want more money or the agent is trying to hike up the transfer fee so he can get a bigger cut. He's come out and said that Newcastle, Everton and "two other clubs" have made an offer for Emre but I question whether these two other clubs exist to be honest. Hopefully it's just the agent pissing about. |

It's bloody irritating to play a team of cheats though. Espescially when they are getting away with it. I have to wonder if some of these southern European countries train their players to dive, because they are much better at it. It slows the game right down and they know it winds us up. Espescially when the game is being played in roasting heat and emotions are running high, there's just no need to try and wind up the opposition players and fans like that, it's really petty. |

It was a massive reason you beat CEltic. YOu greasey cheating s where diving left right and centre.
PErsonnally if a player dives, he should be crunched in the next tackle so hard that its makes up for him getting a free previously. |

I'd say it was one of the main reasons you beat celtic. Our team then played a very physical game, and where other teams would try to match us, porto decided the best way to win would be to fall over anytime a celtic player came near them. It meant winning challenges became near impossible due to fear of being booked becasue to their abismal play acting/time wasting.
On the transfer side of things
bellamy could be about to agree a deal with celtic. 5 million from newcastle
Allidiere (sp) could be on a load move for on season to the hoops.
Zurawski looks to be completing a move to parkhead too.
That's the stikeforce taken care of gordon, now how about a keeper, 3 new defenders and 4 new midfielders. |

| Striker John Carew to Lyon. I guess Houllier wants a good back up in case Govou leaves. |
