Because, I remember being 'ower the moon' when we signed one Sylvio Maprick:

BOBBY ROBSON'S first signing in what is expected to be a busy summer in the transfer market for the Newcastle manager was due to be completed today with the #3 million purchase of Argentina international Christian Bassedas.

Bassedas, 27, was due to arrive in the North-East this morning for his medical after Newcastle, who first expressed an interest in the midfielder before Christmas, finally agreed a fee with Velez Sarsfeld.
