The NUFC Blog Live Transfer Window Countdown!

Watch the magic window and keep updated on all the Newcastle United deadline drama.
Ok, Here we go…
Just a few hours to go before we learn of any in and/or outs on the final day of this January’s transfer window.
As we’ve already signed Papiss Demba Rodney Cisse early in the window for a reported £9m, attention has swung violently towards the defensive side of things. I think it’s safe to say that most fans of Newcastle United would like to see some new blood in the centre back and fullback positions. It seems that the scouting team have been checking out many players that play these positions for what seems like years. It could actually be years!
We all know the players targeted (if the press are to be believed), so I won’t bore you with names and further speculation, but you never know with Newcastle these days. They have come up with the odd surprise in recent times, doing a lot of background work and attempting to make a lot of signings out of the usual glare of the press limelight and under the radar of other clubs.
Of course, the media thrive on anything Newcastle United (just look at the recent unpleasantness), and will seemingly leave no stone unturned in their quest to alert Spurs, Liverpool and the like to our supposed potential signings.
What or who do you want in?
Will we get the centre back that we need?
Will we be underwhelmed?
Will we lose anyone?
It’s looking like a relatively chaste transfer window so far, where Newcastle are, as I type this, still the biggest spenders this window, who’d a’thunk it?
So, without further ado, I give you the Toon transfer window watch.
Discuss!

Cut me in half & it'll say Newcastle United F.C. just like a stick of Black 'n' White rock!

I have it on a reliable source (Twitter) that in a bold and unseen move, Alan Pardwho and the Director of All Things Fat and Round, have made an audacious last-minute bid for the entire Les Aigles de Carthage (The Eagles of Carthage).
Yes, NUFC have lashed out umpteen and severally pounds in an attempt to buy the entire Tunisian football squad.
In a brief, and slightly incoherent post-Watneys interview Alan Pardwho was heard to mumble:
“Look, if we buy the lot, one of them has to be half decent. I didn’t come here just for the sun, sea, and sex.
Though that helps.”
Possibly the biggest last-day transfer headline since Andy Carroll confessed to hating the River Mersey, and that bloddy ferry and accompanying song, NUFC have again confounded all expectations by beating the January deadline, and picking up several teenage Tunisian boys for next to nothing.
“Logic tells me”, continued Pardwho, “We’ll never make Europe, but we can take the African Cup of Nations. Mine’s a pint, Ashers.”
Your reporter, on his radar, having heard a whisper, and all that tosh at this point made his excuses and left. And stopped hacking mobile phone calls. And intercepting emails.
Which is what matters.
