Good News coming out of Newcastle

Newcastle are reportably in talks with Deportivo about the possible purchase of their Spanish international striker Albert Luque. The Magpies have been looking all over Europe for a striker and have been knocked back several times. Chairman Freddy Shepherd flew into Spain on Thursday to try and agree a deal with Depor counterpart Augusto Cesar Lendoiro and the Spanish supremo has now disclosed that he is locked in talks with Shepherd. However, he revealed that a deal is still some way off, especially as other clubs are continuing to monitor the striker's situation.


Luque to Magpies?
Other brief news coming out of Newcastle today is that they have sealed the future of their promising young centre back Steven Taylor on a four year deal."I'm relieved to get the contract signed," Talyor told Newcastle's official website. Graeme Souness has predicted that Taylor will become a "real star" at Newcastle and the future looks bright for the England Under-21 international.


Taylor commits future to Magpies
This is very promising news coming out of Newcastle first about Luque and then the other good news that one of their best centre backs has commited his future to the club for another four years. If Newcastle could manage to sign Luque it would be an absouloutely great signing. I have heard that if Deportivo are going to sell they would want at least £10million for their player and I believe that that would be a good deal all round.
