Toon to sign Guthrie

[Pablo]

Havent seen a fee mentioned yet, but I'm guessing it will be around £3m

[Sean_LFC_1892]

I think our summer budget is a big fat zero.

Concur.

All our dealings seem to have a net spend of a couple of million (tops) and in selling Pennant we might break even or even make a profit and have a potentially better squad with a better chance of challenging for No.19...

Rafa is the daddy of transfer dealings..!

[Fagan]

He has signed according to the newcastle web site undisclosed fee.

[Pablo]

The very best of luck to him .

Hopefully this is the start of Keegan making the barcodes our new feeder club for unwanted talent

[Dhav]

Good luck to him and a bit more in the coffers for Rafa.

£2.5m according to this article from the Times.

Edit - And this one from the Mail too.

Reckon that's about a fair price really.

Seems a reasonable price. I hope that's not including future payments based on appearances or anything.

Also we should put in sell on clauses etc on all young players we sell

Your'e forgetting the Parry factor

That appears to put this summers spendings around 7-8million in the black, if we do offload Carson, Pennant, Itandje, that will be around the 20 mil we supposedly need for Keane. Then the Barry deal probably depends on Xabi going, no big loss if it doesn't go through imo and it would also be funny to see o'neil left with an unhappy player after he ****ed up his move

Guthrie joins Magpies

DANNY Guthrie, a big hit with Bolton fans last season, has joined Newcastle United on a four-year contract.

The Shrewsbury-born, Liverpool midfielder spent 2007-2008 on loan at the Reebok Stadium.

And he soon caught the eye with his all action displays.

Manager Gary Megson hinted at trying to bring him back to Wanderers from Anfield.

But Kevin Keegan has stepped in with the long-term deal and a reported £4m transfer fee.

"Kevin is a legend and it is going to be very exciting for me to see what I can learn from him," said the popular Guthrie.

"I learned a lot playing in the Premier League for Bolton last season and I expect more from myself next season.

"I cannot wait to get started. I just want to do well for Newcastle."

Keegan said: "Danny proved himself in the Premier League last season so we know he can play at that level.

"He's at the right age and is a good signing for us."

Slight detour here but am I the only who thinks Keegan will be gone sooner rather than later?

Where was this from? Don't believe the transfer fee seeing as everywhere else has said 2.5mil
