With the appointment with Kevin Keegan starting to sink in - well at least a little - you can bet there are big meetings planned at St. James’ Park starting tomorrow, concentrating on who’s available in the transfer market.
Richard Dunne - in dispute with Man City over contract
There are only a short 2 weeks left in the January transfer window and we feel certain that Kevin will want to bring at least 3-4 new players in before February comes around.
One player we reported on earlier today is center-back Richard Dunne, who Kevin put on the right tracks at Manchester City. Early in Richard’s career he was a bit of a party-goer and he was told in no uncertain terms by Keegan to buckle down or be shipped out.
To Richard’s credit he’s since become one of the best center-backs in the Premiership. We wonder of it would be possible for Kevin to get him to Newcastle.  
Kevin will probably not ship too many players out until he’s had a chance to look at what he’s inherited. We’re also sure he’ll get a lot of help from Chris Mort on building the youth system and scouting system at the club. The last time he wasn’t too interested (it seemed) in anything but the first team. and even dissolved the Reserve Team at one point.
But we’re sure Kevin understands this is even a bigger job than last time. But he will sleep well tonight knowing the Toon Army, throughout the world, is behind him and willing him onto success.
He can be sure of that.
Comments very welcome.

Richard Dunne would be a great buy…
I just hope we do get a few players just to keep the fans happy, though todays line up looks pretty decent to me.

12 neil09 // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:12
I believe that Christophe Metzelder, Daniel van Buyten and Lukas Podolski are possibly available on loan!
any comments?
13 ToonKing // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:12
yes babyyy, real shame we can’t watch this
14 ObaFan2 // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:12
Dunne would be a great signing btw, knows Keegan, could help teach Taylor more and be great for Given.
15 Warwick Hunt // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:14
Sounds like a proper atmosphere, chants of ‘there’s only one Kevin Keegan’ ringing out of SJP.
Attacking line up as well.
16 Tom_Toon // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:14
I believe Chikhaoui is available for 12 mil, buy buy buy.
17 Steve_48 // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:14
I take it you lads are listening to Radio 5 Live?
I hear words like “confidence”, “swagger” - is this right or are we all drunk on the euphoria of this afternoon’s events.
I know Stoke are different league so don’t shoot me down
FFS I hope we haven’t all jumped forward to April 1st
TK: Shame there’s nowt on P2P…. tonight
Has he been paraded yet - missed the SkySports certainly saw nothing on BBC
18 Obafan // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:14
1-0 howy the TOon!!
- Metzeder: would be a fantastic player
- Van Buyten: gets lots of critics in Belgium and right so, cause every time he plays for the national team he makes silly mistakes
- Podolski: i don’t like the guy, there are a lot of better strikers to bring to St James
BTW: Dunne would be a good player for us, maybe the first King Kev touch
19 James // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:16
LET’S GO AND WIN THIS 6-0!!
Havant are winning 2-0 too, great stuff for the non league boys
20 neil09 // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:17
Maybe Keegans infectious enthusiasm could persuade Klass-Jan Huntelaar to come? the new Ruud van Nistelrooy
21 ObaFan2 // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:17
Typical BBC televise wrong game lmao
22 ObaFan2 // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:18
Anything is possible with KK here
23 nightfall // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:18
hmm…kevin didn’t see a football match in 3 years…how will he even know who’s good?
24 Warwick Hunt // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:18
Nah hes not there yet or at least he hasn’t made an appearance. No swagger or confidence yet early days, pretty even so far.
25 neil09 // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:19
The future is bright, the future is black and white!!
26 Warwick Hunt // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:20
He has just arrived
27 Tom_Toon // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:20
nightfall - he watched football, he just didnt go to stadiums.
28 ObaFan2 // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:20
HE’S BACK
29 James // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:20
Huntaleer would be great, but WE NEED :
Top Class Central Defender
World Class Attacking Midfielder
Top Class Right Winger

34 James // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:23
Highlights at half time on BBC 1 during the Man City game, and again after the game
35 ObaFan2 // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:24
Shame Dunne’s cup-tied now but I wonder if he just wants more money from Man City
36 Obafan // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:24
Will there be highlights after City-West Ham on MOTD????
37 Obafan // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:24
James - are u sure about it?
38 Steve_48 // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:25
Thanks James for that one - Keegan in director’s box laughing with Ashley laughing it up
Sounds to me like the commentators at 5 Live are infected by the events of this afternoon too
About time we had something to old onto eh? Late Christmas present for me
39 James // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:25
My mate texted me to say it’s on at half time. Only one way to find out.
40 Number 9 // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:25
Just seen Keegan on Sky Sports with Mort. He’s arrived. Come on.
Emre should have played all season
41 James // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:27
Dear Mike Ashley
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
42 ObaFan2 // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:28
Yeah cheers Mike buddy
I’ll buy ya a pint next time i see ya 
43 Phani Tikkala // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:29
NUFC in control now.
Players are really fires up.
44 graham // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:30
obafan, I think they’ve got highlights at half and full time. Shearer was sitting with a smile as the Tyne on the Motd sofa
45 Phani Tikkala // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:30
Emre red card.
46 ObaFan2 // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:31

F**K SAKE EMRE :@ IDIOT
49 neil09 // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:31
Emre has been sent off. Elbowing John Eustace
50 Number 9 // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:32
Must get 4 back in mid field. Viduka for lua lua
51 ToonKing // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:32
not only is he suspended now but he’s injured too :
Emre takes a hefty whack on his left leg in a challenge with John Eustace and the Turkish star limps from a play with a visible lump on his shin.
We won’t have any players for saturday FFS!!!!
52 James // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:32
Emre has just shown why he is never in the first team, and should never be in the first team.
53 Warwick Hunt // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:33

Missing Butt, Barton, Smith and now Emre at the weekend, i hope Keegan has brought his football boots with him!
68 Ashton // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:37
we need
Top Class Central Defender : bruno alves, garay , barzagli , raul albiol
World Class Attacking Midfielder : jeremy menez , Arshavin , moutinho , chikhaoui
and a decent DM some one like appiah or jonathan de guzman

71 neil09 // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:41
I agree Ashton, Stephen Appiah would be great, also Arshavin. Im sure KK could even convince Leo Messi to rip up his Barca contract, such are his powers of persuasion.
“are you Derren Brown in disguise!”
72 Tom_Toon // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:42
When you see Chikhaoui, no1 can say they wouldnt like him at their club!
73 ToonKing // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:42
“Viduka shapes to hit a dropping ball on the overhead……………..” jesus were on fire aren’t we ?????
Viduka …..overhead ….today is a dream.
74 James // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:44
Missing Butt, Barton, Smith and now Emre - sounds good to me. I’d sell the lot of them anyway
75 roscoe // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:44
that only works in the UK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
76 Warwick Hunt // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:45
N’Zogbia playing a blinder by all accounts through the middle (his preferred position) out on the left then the right all over the place.
Come on, and Keegan hasn’t had a chance to work his magic yet!!!!!!!!!!!!
77 sy // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:46

78 valle // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:46
Yep… to bad only UK residents can hear it
79 MY TOON // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:46
YES YES YES YES YES YES KING KEV, THE MAN WHO I NEVER WANTED TO LEAVE THE TOON!! NOW HE’S BACK AND WE CAN BE SURE HE IS PASSIONATE ABOUT THE TOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOPEFULLY HE CAN INVOLVE SHEARER SOMEHOW (whether it’s his no2 or in there on the coaching staff somewhere!!!)
Howay the lads!!! 2-0 go boys go!!!!!!!!!!!
80 Steve_48 // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:50
I think the team have showed tonight that they [as players] are trying to show KK their true abilities for fear of the chop! About ferkin’ time
Shame they couldn’t show the same commitment to BSA eh?
81 Tom_Toon // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:51
Why would they, sam would probs try and feed them pies to slow them down on the ball, the fat fk.
82 RobNUFC // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:54
roscoe….what i do is go through bbc guernsey! you can get bbc radio from outside uk on that website!!
83 Eve // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:54
Ya Dunne would be a fantastic signing. Him and Given have a great partnership. With a wee bit of luck maybe we’ll sign him. He really would be a fantastic signing. A defender for once who Given can rely on.
2-0. COME ON!!
84 valle // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:55
I really hope big Al get the NO 2 job… He really seems to want, and u wont get a better NO 2 than our very own local hero… Play the tune mark!
85 Brendan // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:55
Impressed with the 1st half. Hopefully we’ll attack this much in other matches also

That was a red card challenge on Emre by Usless or whatver his name is
88 roscoe // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:57
are they covering the game on bbc guernsey?
89 Ashton // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:58
Fabio Coentrao is a great attacking midfielder too imo he is better than Arshavin
90 Callum // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:59
I told you they’ll show the highlights
91 ObaFan2 // Jan 16, 2008 at 20:59
Ha ha ha happy faces @ the Toon

RobNUFC… Could u link it?… I can only find yesterdays coverage
93 Tom_Toon // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:00
Ye but Coentrao is more of a left winger and not good enough at the moment for week is week out.
94 KevinHann // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:01
Rob can you tell me how to listen to it step by step please? for a complete moron, go here click there and voila?
95 toonfan1 // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:03
shearer is talking about newcastle!!! he said he will talk about becoming a number 2 for newcastle. he will talk if keegan wants him at the club!!! bring him keegan!!! wat a partnership that will be
96 roscoe // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:05

98 KevinHann // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:08
roscoe please explain how you got it please!!!!
99 Warwick Hunt // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:09
Just watched MOTD at half time and Shearer has clearly stated that he would talk to Keegan if asked to be No2.
He’s excited as me well almost, even Hanson thinks that the neutrals will be swayed by us. Christ we might even get Lawrenson to say we are good, nah that’s just stupidity that.
100 roscoe // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:10

Download real player if you dont have it.
go here:

might ask to install activex at the top of screen, right click and say yes!
should work otherwise…
101 Phani Tikkala // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:11
We had more shots at goal in that first half, than we have had all season.
102 roscoe // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:11
let me know if you need more help
103 Ashton // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:13
yeah but he is younger than Arshavin
i think he is just 19 so he will be one for the future that for sure !
Zapater will be a great sign too imo he is better than barton , emre , and he is more creative i think he will add some flair to our shiti midfield
104 Tom_Toon // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:14
Ye dunno if we can get him (Zapater) arsenal want him.
Chikhaoui for me.
105 roscoe // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:16
milner you beaut!!!
106 Jeremy // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:18
if emre’s challenege was a red, then thats guys challenge on emre was def a red. both in front of ref, but not even a free kick against eustace, but a straight red against emre. but what should we expect, we have rennie ‘refereeing’.
107 Ashton // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:19
jeremy menez is better than Chikhaoui imo
108 roscoe // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:19
KevinHann : You got it?
109 KevinHann // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:20

tom toon what is it with u and this Chikhaoui guy ive never heard of him
113 Phani Tikkala // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:23
ToonKing.
Good Football and KK hasn’t worked with them yet.
114 chuck // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:24
Sissoko,Bent and Dunne Would be a good start in the transfer market, plus acouple of decent fullbacks. Eh!
115 Warwick Hunt // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:24
scott9
Youtube him then you will see!!!!!!!!!!
116 neil09 // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:25
Tom_Toon - Chikhaoui looks a top prospect, lets nab him! sharpish!
i know that this is a bit of a moot point now, but does anybody reckon that is Deschamps had come he could have brought Zidane in as a coach?
117 Warwick Hunt // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:27
3-0 Milner
118 ToonKing // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:28
Milner you beauty of a boy !!!!!!!!
3-0 !!!!!!!!!!!!!
119 roscoe // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:28
MILNER!!!!!!!!!!!
120 Ashton // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:28
Milner is shite
121 Tom_Toon // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:30
WOOP!
Chikhaoui v Menez is a hard one.
Chikhaoui is the better passer but Menez can also play on the wing while Chikhaoui isnt very good on the wing.

Sounds great. And we’ll never get Butt and Smith in midfield again..
125 valle // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:32
Agree with Ashton… He needs to be replaced asap… Lf to what KK will do for us in the market atm
126 ToonKing // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:32
@Ashton , yes he is, but right now he scored so i love him.
127 Warwick Hunt // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:32
Andy Carrol on.
128 Phani Tikkala // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:34
Milner is not shite, he has been playing under poor management. Under Keegan he will Blossom.
129 neil09 // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:34
wtf - Radio 5 live have buggered off to the Havant and Swansea game!
130 roscoe // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:35

131 Phani Tikkala // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:35
4-0 Duff
132 Frankieboy // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:35
Seen Shearer on MOTD and he was like a dog with two dicks and he would” love it just love it” if KK give him a call. Many in Shearers position then it would of been sour grapes but not him he is as excited as the rest of us cos he whats going to happen at HIS club, a true GEORDIE.
For Zog read Ginola …..deje vu or wot!!!
Keegan/Shearer Dream Team.

sign TAYLOR PLS KK
138 roscoe // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:39
THE ENTERTAINERS ARE BACK!!!
139 Phani Tikkala // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:39
Lua Lua on for N’Zogbia. Man of the match according to radio.
140 Frankieboy // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:39
4-0 wi ten men dont forget against a team that played us off the park under Allardyce.
Keegan has effect already.
141 valle // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:41
Phani Tikkala… Yes he is… Sry but thats the way it is… He is one of the players who can actually drible himself out of posession, and he has no eye for his teammates runs
142 Phani Tikkala // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:41
frankieboy.
We where only 1-0 up when we went down to 10 men as well.
The entertainers are back in town. Carnival time.
143 arlyz1 // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:41
Looks like N’Zogbia is making the position as attacking midfielder is own. We need to find somebody to support, him. Butt hasnt got the legs, Smith hasnt got a clue and Barton hasnt got a brain.
144 Warwick Hunt // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:42
Valle.
There have been times when he has been our best player on the pitch.
145 Marc Kobrin // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:43
what can we do with barton - swop him for a broom or a pint ?
146 Warwick Hunt // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:44
Duff has really came into the game now. N’Zogbia through the middle for me.
147 arlyz1 // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:44
His misuse of N’Zogbia just underlines how useless Big Sam was. Let the good times roll.
148 Ashton // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:45
Thats what we want its very simple
” attacking football ”
howay the lads
p.s f%&k fat sam
149 valle // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:46
There have been times where Bramble where one of our best players on the pitch… At times he scores some crackers, but thats just not nearly enough from a winger… He isnt good enough
150 Frankieboy // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:46
Surely KK first job will be to kick barton into touch
151 Warwick Hunt // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:47
Before todays sensational news I really thought that this was going to be a tough game.
152 paul // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:48

156 Marc Kobrin // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:49

mayve just covcer for LB?
157 neil09 // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:50
4-1 - so close to the perfect game!
158 arlyz1 // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:51
A clean sheet would be little too much lol
159 valle // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:51
Well we are still NUFC after all
160 Phani Tikkala // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:52
N’Zogbia man or the Match from match sponsors.
Tells you something I nthink.
161 ToonKing // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:53
it over 4-1 great win!!!!!!!!
now lets smash the gooners next week !!!!!!!!!!
162 neil09 // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:54
we’ve scored 4, thankful that they didn’t score 3. the WOULD be typical Toon. Maybe KK has had a word. “look lads, i’m back, bang in a few goals, let them score 1, lets not take the p*ss and let in any more than that”
163 ToonKing // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:54
do i hear Local Hero in the stadium ???
164 arlyz1 // Jan 16, 2008 at 21:55
What a happy day. Anyone remember Big Sam?
165 Phani Tikkala // Jan 16, 2008 at 22:24
Just watched MOTD interactive the last two goals where excellent. the Messiah is back.
166 valle // Jan 16, 2008 at 23:27
Phani Tikkala … Could u link the goals pls?
167 matt w // Jan 16, 2008 at 23:34
great performance tonight, truelly thought we would struggle but the man is in the house boys!!
sounds like by far the best newc performance for a few years.
hope shearer or les ferdinand becom no.2 to KK.
i think Dunne would be a great, great GREAT signing if we can nip in and offer him wot he wants, he has shown that he is one o the best CBs in the prem and may improve Shay’s performances. (also help out Taylor)
in need of a DM as Butt has not got any legs.
need a right winger as i feel Milner can be inconsistent and isnt very quick for a youngster.((although great finish tonight)
also need a striker, as Owen isnt up to it (his goal tonight was lucky).
need to strengthen midfield in general, butt shoulnt be near the starting 11, and smith shouldnt be near our CLUB!
anyway, nest 2 weeks will hopefully bring a few new faces that will improve our starting line up, starting with Dunne would be great!
com on the toon and com on SHEARER!

toon king, i was at the game and you said about the song local hero, there was so many old classic geordie pre match tracks on on the tanoy, was a joy to wait the extra 15minutes for the fans to decide they want to go to the match after all… im not buying ma sports bar tickets next season, gonna stump up the extra for 1892 because im sure that place brings us luck, may not be great atmos but when i sat their we were good, haha….
169 Lawman // Jan 17, 2008 at 1:04
Shunsuke Nakamura of Celtic, Daniel van Buyten of Bayern and Lukas Pidolski would all do nicely. A defender, midfielder and a striker.
170 Lawman // Jan 17, 2008 at 1:09
Shearer as KK’s apprentice. Groom him to one day take over! That would really be dream come true
171 dragoner // Jan 17, 2008 at 2:40
We need one trully great centreback, one trully great, young, creative midfielder and we will be ok for the rest of the season.
——————Given——————–
Beye—-Taylor—-Dunne—-Enrique
—————–N’zogbia——————
Mil/Lua————————Lua/Duff
——————-Kroos——————–
——-Vidu/Smit—–Mart/Owen——-
Obviously we wont get Kroos or Dunne, but those are just my example players
172 John Boater // Jan 17, 2008 at 12:45
We need a right winger- Farfan/ Obgonlahor
Striker- has to be Huntellar.
Left back - Bridge available?
Centre half - Dunne……
173 deano // Jan 17, 2008 at 13:22
break the bank and buy Berbatov. Toon fan and the new Ginola
174 Jack Moy // Jan 17, 2008 at 14:50
I’m seriously excited about how Keegan is gonna spend the war chest he’s been given…
Hope he makes a REALLY big name signing , and that’ll lift that Roof even further!
175 stk // Jan 17, 2008 at 15:35
“I believe that Christophe Metzelder, Daniel van Buyten and Lukas Podolski are possibly available on loan!”
if thats true, then yes, those are the sorts of players we want, along with dunne, laursen, diego, riise, coz even though the squads good, we’re definately lacking in the creative department.
mixed reactions, fascinating appointment, thank god i’m going to the bolton game! hope defence gets sorted, and coleman for assistant!
176 Guinea Mag // Jan 17, 2008 at 17:06
Need to sign up young Steven Taylor to a contract that will keep him on Tyneside for the next 5 years minimum.
KK will need to select a club captain and I would go for Given with Taylor as his deputy…….
177 al // Jan 17, 2008 at 18:03
No midfield for saturday.If we lose this one we will be under great pressure with the games coming up ! Need to get someone in quick ie friday. I am sure we must have been looking to stengthen any way in january !!!!

woo ooo ooo king kevin
king kevin ooo ooo ooo
is a legent hope to get dunne would be a brilliant buy especially with taylor there as well perhaps he can get a coach in to help with the defensive side though everyone knows his main priority is to attack
kevin is a legend
watch the good times roll
i would loveit if we beat htem(bolton)
p.s for everyone who goes to stjames please make a brilliant atmosphere

I heard on tribalfootball.com that Shaun Wright-Phillips is keen to quit Chelsea and make a move to Newcastle… I almost heard that Newcastle is ahead of Pompey and Villa for Spurs Defoe… I think Defoe and Wright-Phillips would be good signings.. Wright-Phillips and Milner on the wings.. With the rotation of Duff.. Newcastle needs someone like Dunne… Keegan needs to Center backs of high quality.. plus a new center mid… We seem to be weak there… We only really have like 3 mids.. We just rotate players into that position… Faye has played midfield, Smith plays midfield, N’zogbia played as a center mid against Man Utd, and Geremi has played in the mid.. There are some other players who are possibilities but most are unlikely… Players like Wes Brown.. Podolski is not available on loan… Not until end of Bayern Munich’s season.. James Milner is good, he can cross and is good with passing.. He can keep the ball… Not to mention when he scored the equalizer against Sunderland! He is better then Geremi, and Duff and N’Zogbia!! We need a player with the quality of Ludovic Giuly.. Of whom Allardyce failed to sign.. Kazenga LuaLua is not a winger.. and he is not that good, yet.. Shunsuke Nakamura would be great on the wing.. having a left mid as left back means that when N’Zogbia goes forward with the ball he is capable of crossing it or shooting.. Unlike many other left/right backs who do not have the potential to score goals from range… Emre is good, he can hold the ball… Nicky Butt is to aggressive and fouls to much just like Alan Smith.. They are not starting XI players.. Newcastle should sign Yasser Al-Qahtani.. That would be funny.. They should sign Sergio Ramos from Real Madrid! and Royston Drenthe… heh
