Rubbish Newcastle transfer news: 71 targets – 70 days to go

Welcome to our daily rubbish Newcastle transfer news service, featuring all the players NUFC are ‘buying’ (including proposed loan deals) this summer.

We will update you each day and try to keep you abreast of all these exciting transfers that aren’t going to happen (as well as the handful that hopefully will…).

With 70 days until the transfer window closes, we have two more names to add to the running total, making a new total of 71 Newcastle have been linked with. A bit of a tipping point as the ‘targets’ outnumber the total of shopping days left before the transfer window slams shut.

The two added to the growing list today’s offerings are both strikers.

Robin Knoche has been linked with a Newcastle move, the Wolfsburg centre-half playing 27 Bundesliga matches last season as the German club finished second and qualified for the Champions League. So you wouldn’t imagine the 23 year old German Under 21 international being desperate to get away, unless his club are using CL qualification to try and upgrade.

First up we have Rickie Lambert, made his name at Southampton and then was a surprise signing for Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool.

The Winner Sports website claim that Newcastle could look to take Lambert on either a loan or permanent move. The striker appears a ‘little’ too old at 33 for Mike Ashley’s tastes but with only 7 Premier League starts (plus 18 as a sub) last season, Rickie Lambert may well be looking for more regular football….though unlikely to be getting it at St James Park.

Secondly, we have 22 year old Uruguayan striker Diego Rolan, a name that the Chronicle have come up with.

Rolan signed for Bordeaux in the same transfer window (January 2013) when we were landed with Yoan Gouffran from the French club. For just over £2m, Diego Rolan was brought over from Uruguay as a 19 year old and after finally finding his feet, last season the striker scored 15 Ligue 1 goals in only 28 starts (plus another 8 as a sub).

To try and keep some kind of order, the players are listed in alphabetical order by surname, then first/other names, the club they are/were at when Newcastle were linked with them, then finally the club they have ended up signing for (if any).

Please let us know of any that we have missed out as we go along and especially if you notice if any on the list actually sign for a club and we haven’t added that information.
