Newcastle Transfer Policy

Sky news have just reported that Freddie Shepherd gave a
> statement to the stock exchange this morning at 9.18 am regarding Newcastle
> UTD PLC nearly signing David Beckham, Dirk Kuyt, Tevez and Mark Viduka.
> >
> > The statement was greeted with astonishment and then a
> deathly hush descended on the floor as the fat Geordie Chairman proudly
> announced the shock transfers who he nearly signed for the club. Newcastle
> UTD shares rocketed to £1.81 on hearing the news of these near signings.
> Jose Mourinho was quick to respond on Sky Sports News about the statement.
> >
> > He said "How can Chelsea complete with Newcastle on these
> terms, they are nearly buying all the top players, I see reports on TV that
> they nearly signed David Beckham and then only 24 hours later Fat Freddy
> tells the stock exchange that they nearly bought Dirk Kuyt in the summer, It
> is just spoiling the game".
> >
> > Sir Alex Ferguson was also quick to comment "This is
> ridiculous, Newcastle are once again nearly signing all the top players
> available, they nearly signed Wayne Rooney and they nearly signed Ronaldo.
> The whole thing needs sorting out or else Newcastle Utd's nearly signing
> players policy will ruin our beautiful game".
> >
> > A spokesman from Newcastle UTD PLC said these words in
> retaliation. "I have heard Jose Mourinhos and Alex Fergusons comments, and
> just because we are actively nearly signing the top players in the world
> does not mean that we are spoiling the game, we are just raising the
> standards of nearly signing players; players of the calibre of Rooney,
> Ronaldinho, Zidane and Ronaldo were also nearly signed".
> >
> > Outside St James park a crowd of 4 gathered on hearing the
> shock news, one fan called Keegan Beardsley who had just paid £33 for a
> shirt worth £2.50, and had the words "Nearly Beckham" proudly displayed on
> the back, had this to say via an interpreter (no one could understand him)
> "Arl reet, dee yee smurk tarbs? Wor gannin pleeces this cloob like...wor
> neeerly gannin fer Christiano Ronaldo next week an arl like!" Fat Freddy has
> since stated that, "This clubs policy for nearly signing players will
> continue for the foreseeable future. We see no reason to bow to the demands
> of other clubs and will scour the earth for players who will come close to
> joining us". "We must keep our fans happy, and what better way than for them
> to see world class players almost joining Newcastle Utd, it keeps them all
> coming back in their droves, and shirt sales are continuing to rocket due
> mainly to the talent we nearly succeeded in getting in".
> >
> > On a similar note, with the 'Cash for Honours' scandal
> rumbling on, Mr. Shepherd was heard to express his concerns that he may
> shortly be questioned under a 'cash for NO honours scandal'.
