Parker til Tyneside?

[Asbjørn]

Håper Evening Chronicle har rett. Vi trenger en spiller som Parker på midtbanen. Jose sier at det nesten er håpløst for Parker og spille seg inn på laget siden Makelele spiller utrolig godt.

Toon in Parker hijack bid Jun 3 2005

  Graeme Souness will attempt to hijack Everton's move for Scott Parker on his return from holiday.

Souness is ready to move for the Chelsea midfielder, casting a shadow over Lee Bowyer's faltering Newcastle United career.

Everton are weighing up a £4m bid for Parker, who is ready to leave Stamford Bridge in search of first-team football after making just one Premiership start last season.

But Souness, who has been on holiday in the United States, is keen to bring Parker to Tyneside as he looks to rebuild his team, and he will make contact next week.

Once there are firm bids on the table for the former Charlton Athletic player, who cost the Blues £10m in January 2004, Chelsea would have to decide whether they are prepared to sell, with boss Jose Mourinho having suggested they would consider a loan deal.

Mourinho said: "We have to think about a loan, we have to think about selling, but he's a very, very good player. I want to keep him but I understand players, we understand players.

"He wants to play more. As I was saying to him, he's a great player but in this moment (Claude) Makelele looks unbeatable."

Meanwhile, there has been a cloud over Bowyer since his on-pitch bust-up with Kieron Dyer, for which the 28-year-old was fined four weeks' wages.

And Souness' interest in Parker is a clear indication that Bowyer's future could lie away from Tyneside, although ultimately the Londoner could choose to stay and fight for his place with the midfielder having two years left on his Magpies contract.

Since Bowyer was sent off against Aston Villa, he has only featured in the two UEFA Cup clashes against Sporting Lisbon, with a hamstring injury having kept him out of domestic matches once his seven-game suspension was served.

One midfielder whose St James' Park career is definitely over is Hugo Viana, and the sooner a club can be found for the Portuguese the better for Souness and chairman Freddy Shepherd.

Meget usikker på om Parker holder nivået vi trenger for å komme oss oppover tabellen.. Spilte bra for Charlton, men har slitt med å slå igjennom på Chelsea. £4m var veldig mye for en resvere fra Chelsea!

[Rolfern]

Parker var meget god i Charlton. I Chelsea har han slitt benken for det meste, men når konkurrentene er Makelele og en Lampard som aldri er skadet så sier det seg selv at det blir vanskelig å få plass i startelleveren.

Parker til £ 4M?Ja, takk. Parker er meget god. Chelsea betalte vel sånn omtrentelig £10M for Parker sine tjenester i fjor?

Parker var god under Ranieri, men etter at Jose kom har han slitt men han har jo stort sett vært skadet det siste halvåret.

I Charlton var han som du sier konge. Han er fortsatt ung, så jeg har troen på ungutten.

[Bjørn]

Bring on Parker!

Dersom han kommer til oss vil han få spilletid, som fører til at han finner tilbake til den formen han hadde i Charlton, og den formen var god nok for landslaget, noe han også var god nok for i starten av Chelski-karrieren sin. Helt til Makelele kom å fant seg til rette i PL!

Go for Parker sier jeg, ta han rett foran nesa på de Toffee jævlene...

Bjørn - usympatisk

[geordie-olav]

Parker? Ja takk!

Han må jo være PLs beste talent. Tror nok at han er vår rette mann. Chelsea kommer nok ikke til å forlange så veldig mange pund heller.

Om ikke Parker er god nok, er ingen gode nok.

[Bjørn]

Hør Hør!!

Bjørn - døv

[Mushans]

Parker talent? HAHA

[geordie-olav]

Jaså. Er det noe å le av Mushans. Han er et langt større talent enn det Milner noensinne vil bli!

[Mushans]

Mannen blir 25 år..

[geordie-olav]

Souness slenger inn bud på Parker

[Bjørn]

Parker talent? HAHA

Hva i huleste er det du mener egentlig??

Mener du å si at ikke Parker er en god spiller??
Eller bare fordi han er 25år, at han ikke kan ansees som et talent??
25 år er jo ingen alder for en fotballspiller, man er på en peek når man er 28-29 mener jeg å tro, for de fleste. Og det er 3 år til! 25 er ikke gammel i fotballsammenheng!

Vil du ikke ha Parker du da, blir du sur dersom han kommer??

Bjørn - oppgitt

[Mushans]

Du kan da ikke kalle en mann på 25 år for talent! At han har talent er noe annet.. Jeg vil ikke ha Parker nei, men det hadde ingenting med saken å gjøre..

[Joakim]

Man presterer jo den dag i dag å kalle O'Brien for et talent, og han er like gammel...

PArker blir klar i løpet av uken ifølge lokal avisen The Journal:

New face may spark exodus Jun 6 2005
 
By Stuart Rayner, The Journal
 

The imminent arrival of Scott Parker could kick-start a player clear out at St James's Park.

Graeme Souness is planning a radical overhaul of his squad but Newcastle's poor showing last season has left him with limited funds at his disposal.

So far only Aaron Hughes has been sold, for £1.5m, but the signing of midfielder Parker is set to spell the end for Nicky Butt and Lee Bowyer.

The £6m deal for 25-year-old Parker is expected to be tied up this week and will allow Souness, now back from his holidays, to move the pair on.

Butt was one of the biggest disappointments of last season and with Parker and January signing Amdy Faye both on the club's books, Newcastle will have little cause to keep him. Signed from Manchester United last August, Butt was at the peak of his powers in 2002, when Pele named him his player of the World Cup.

Newcastle hoped a change of scene would help the Manchester-born player rediscover his form but that and the challenge of getting back into the England squad seem to have done little to inspire the much-decorated 30-year-old.

Blackburn Rovers, Wigan Athletic and Birmingham City are all thought to be interested and Souness will be hoping the prospect of moving closer to home again will appeal. Former clubs Charlton Athletic, where he started his career, and West Ham United, who he supported as a boy, are both said to be interested in ending Bowyer's controversial spell on Tyneside.
