Newcastle in process of signing entire French based league players

Aye.

I think one of Ameobi brothers said that he'd need to brush up on his French skills as this is getting ridiculous.

That said, Haidara looks like a very good prospect (I mentioned him in the past) and it seems NUFC paid €4m to get him.

Only 20, very raw and inconsistent but could turn out to be a very good signing for them.

M'Vila has joined Rubin Kazan.

[RichC]

Gouffran has joined Newcastle 4 & half year deal

[Fosterbloke]

£10m for Wanyama? What's the catch?

What do you mean? You think he's worth more?

[Captain Stu]

M'Vila has joined Rubin Kazan.

I love it, he's been sat around crying and waiting for a bid from an English club... any English club... and nobody wants him because he's damaged goods.



Also... ahem... £15M FOR ZAHA?! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

And, in the meantime, Crystal Palace are currently rubbing their hands together and clearing space in the vault for the arseloads of money they'll soon be receiving.

He is going to do very well there Stu. And I bet we have an inquest in a year or so as to why we did not go for him.

My issue is more with the amount of money. From what I've seen he's good... that's it... but he seems to be fast and stupid like a lot of young English wingers.

I'd have Ince or Sterling over him every single day of the week.

Juventus confirm they've signed Fernando Llorente, effective as of the 1st of July:

Juventus can confirm that Spanish international striker Fernando Llorente will join the club on 1 July 2013.

The 27-year-old has agreed terms on a four-year deal and will move to Turin when his Athletic Bilbao contract expires at the end of the current season.

Born in Pamplona on 26 February 1985, Llorente progressed through the Basque outfit’s academy ranks before being loaned out to feeder club Baskonia during the 2003/04 campaign.

Bolstered by a season’s first team experience, the frontman, nicknamed El Rey León (The Lion King), soon became a permanent fixture in Athletic Bilbao’s strikeforce.

In nine seasons at San Mamés, Llorente has made 334 appearances and scored 104 goals in all competitions. The striker’s best return came during the 2011/12 campaign, when his 29 strikes helped Los Leones to the Copa Del Rey and Europa League finals.

A fearsome aerial presence coupled with excellent close control has earned Llorente international recognition with his native Spain. He was included in the triumphant World Cup 2010 and European Championship 2012 squads, and has notched 7 goals in 21 caps.

Excellent business.

Pogba looks quality.
