Friday afternoon and the Journo's are scraping the barrel.

Planet Football are reporting that we are trying to sign Victor Baia again on a free transfer. I reckon they are just dredging up old stories at the minute. Given has looked pretty solid and Harper is proven at Prem level also. Not convinced Baia would be any better than our Goalkeeper twins.

Here's what Baia said about Bobby, obviously looking for a move, which is probably where the story comes from.

"Bobby has been very important to me in my career," Baia said. "He definitely made me a better keeper.

"As a coach and as a person, Bobby Robson is fantastic. I believe that he is the reason I have been successful and won so many caps for my country.

"He is the best coach I have had and you always know that he will help you wherever he is, at every opportunity."

Yeh, Teamsqualk are banging on about an expected bid for Jason Euell again.
Allsport report that Rob Lee has signed a new one-year contract with the Toon - I think that takes him through to the end of next season.

The Lee bit, I can believe. So...when's the testimonial?! :-)
