First Toon signing of the summer - we've only gone and bought Spiderman! :D

Quote:
Newcastle sign Argentina winger Gutierrez

LONDON, July 2 (Reuters) - Newcastle United said on Wednesday they have signed Argentina midfielder Jonas Gutierrez on a five-year deal, a day after his Spanish club Real Mallorca said they were suing him for walking out on them.

Nicknamed "Spiderman" after donning the comic book superhero's webbed mask during goal celebrations, Gutierrez said: "The Premier League is a great place to play and I cannot wait to meet my new team mates and prove myself to the Newcastle fans."


Worth at least 7 million, and we've picked him up for nowt. Surprisingly he's not a goalkeeper - that web would come in well handy!

I hope we did get this guy for free as from what I've read about him, he aint that good :shock:

96 appearences for his team & only 5 goals :roll: :roll:

If we've paid £9m as is suggested in some papers, then we have been robbed again like we were with Luque :shock:

He's bought out his contract apparently so there's no official fee, although we may well "recompense his expenses" which is against the rules of course, but I'm sure happens all the time.

His goal record doesn't look brilliant, but you don't get games in midfield for the current Argentina side unless you can play a bit.

So he's a midfeilder, I thought they said he was a striker :shock: Well I just hope he's better than what we already have & 5 from 96 doesn't sound to bad now, better than Smith, 0 from 150 & he's suppose to be a striker :lol:

a) Mallorca are taking us to court for 15m in compo :shock:
b) FFS is in the process of buying that club
c) We're suppose to be playing them in a pre-season tournament

Should be interesting :lol:
