Taylor & Owen Contract Talks Finalized

As you guys know that Kevin Keegan is back in town for the past 2 days or so and things have stat to pick up a bit since his back.

The long and and overdue contract talks of skipper Micheal Owen and Steven Taylor has been finalized by Newcastle though reports is still being undisclosed to what package Newcastle is offering.

This is simply good news as both players have said time and time again that they are committed to the Magpies cause.

I simply things will get even better in the upcoming days and targets for the new summer signing are said to be coming in as early as 1 July (which is next Tuesday :D )

This is going to be ecstatic news as the recruitment board, comprising of Dennis Wise, Tony Jimenez and Jeff Vetere, has been keeping a very low profile on the transfer activities surrounding the club.

Let's wait and see who comes .....

Mike Ashley Stepping In On Contract Talks

Contract negotiations between current Newcastle players has been super slow and this has been going even before the previous season ended.

To think about it again, Newcastle has actually did a good move pertaining this contract saga by releasing fringe players which are deemed surplus to our club's requirement.

Now with Kevin Keegan back in town, our big owner has decided to step in expediting the rate of speed in contract negotiations among our current players.

With that also, it is reported that the owner will have more hands on approach on the running of this club and I believe this would suit well with King Kev as the recruitment team has been a no-news thing since its eventual setup back then in February 2008 this year.

I'm not saying our recruitment team are a hopeless bunch of fat pay-checks executives; they did scout for good talent but they fail in finalizing the target players to sign for the Magpies (Luka Modric is one very good example).

Anyway things are looking bright although we are set to miss out on Arda Turan and Andrei Arshavin for that matter :( .

Let's see what is coming and I hope it will be something good.
