Now its Newcastle and Fred

[Firestorm]

"And Northern Echo SPORT understands that Newcastle manager Glenn Roeder is considering Southend United's Freddy Eastwood as a cheaper option to compete with Martins and Shola Ameobi for a place."

More b******s or has Roeder overdosed on humble pie and wants to rekindle his aquaintanship with Freddy ?

 

[* ORM *]

Out of all the Freddy rumours this is the one that has most credance as far as I'm concerned. They do have a striker crisis. £3 million anyone ?

 

[EastStandBlue]

The one manager Freddy would not play for most probably...

 

[Technician]

They would certainly pay around £3m, but they wouldn't have someone to send the other way, which means we would be looking for a suitable replacement with only 9 days to go before the window slams shut on us.

I hope it doesn't happen.

 

[Bluesmanager]

Can't we buy outside the window though? I thought it was only the teams in the top league that couldn't buy outside the window?

I'd be very surprised if we haven't tentatitvely lined someone up already just in case.

Wont happen, far too far for Freddy to go

 

[Technician]

That's not Tilson's view according to the Official Site.

He says "with the transfer window about to shut, he does not intend to get any more players in, unless someone pops up that offers something different from what we already have!"

Tilson Target's Round 2

I just hate the fact that if Freddy goes with a couple of days left, it leaves little time to get a replacement in. It's too much like Russian Roulette.

Transfer window applies to everyone.

Cant see Newcastle being interested in Eastwood who is still unproven at this level, let alone Premiership.

He will not be sold in the next couple of days!!!

Bit disappointed Tilly isnt looking for more players. What if Gutts and Maher get injured?
As for Newcastle think its rubbish but £3m would buy us 2 or 3 quality players.

Agreed, We all know how expectant the Newcastle fans are, they will expect big name signings (like Damien Duff) rather than players who only have a few years lower league experience

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

606 Message Board now rumours that the Coventry Evening paper has it on good authority that Billy Sharp will sign for the Sky Blues today, so if there's any weight in the "Eastwood's Off" stories then that's one of our prime replacements already fixed up.

We have Jay Smith, and if we had two injuries, then Bradbury can play in the centre as can Hunt.

Id like to see another midfielder but dont think its a problem if we dont get one.

Haven't Newcastle just signed Obafemi Martins...???

Newcastle and Inter have agreed a £10m fee for Martins, personal terms still to be ironed out.

I see.

Well, if that goes through then i expect they'll settle for what they have.

I reckon we've already got him - Gary Hooper

 

[Stodge]

I can't see a team the size of Newcastle coming in for a player who is unproven in the Championship. However if Freddy scores 15 before Xmas, then it could be a different story in January.

The 1st post said "Freddy Eastwood as a cheaper option to compete with Martins and Shola Ameobi for a place"

So the story is Martins and Fred.

If Newcastle offer would imagine it would be nearer the figure RM has in mind than Derby's offer.
