Newcastle United are ready to push through a deal for Sheffield United defender Matthew Kilgallon.

The People says Toon are set to follow up their interest in Sheffield United central-defender Kilgallon by slapping in a £2m bid.

Defender Danny Simpson's loan move from Manchester United has been caretaker boss Chris Hughton's only move in the transfer market so far.


I do hope this is bulls***

quite a lot of rumours that they want Killa to replace Taylor. If Killa goes to a non premiership team, one that is in turmoil with no manager, that shows the limit of our ambition

Or simply that he wants to go somewhere he will get more money

If he goes there then the above reason will be why!

Taylor vows to stay at Newcastle

Newcastle defender Steven Taylor has committed himself to the Championship club and vowed to lead them back into the Premier League.

I hope this means they will call off going after Killa.

Also Everton have tied up a £5mil deal for Heitinga.

So the transfer chain we expected happen looks like it wont.

I cant see us selling to a rival team unless they throw alot of cash at us to take him away.

Bladesman we shouldn't sell him to a rival whatever the money (within reason of course!!) for these reasons. Firstly its a position we are already short in, secondly it weakens us whilst strengthening them, thirdly however much money we get we don't seem to either be able to spend it or attract the right player and finally it sends completely the wrong message out to the rest of the squad and the fans.
