Shearer Testimonial?
An interesting snippet from this morning's Guardian newspaper:
Alan Shearer is to be awarded a testimonial by Newcastle
United at the end of next season to mark his 10 years at the club.
No official announcement has been made but sources at St. James' Park
have let it be known that Shearer has been informed already.
And another interesting snippet:
Yesterday also brought
enhanced speculation that Newcastle have edged ahead of Everton in
the race to sign Chelsea's Scott Parker. Parker missed much
of last season through injury but even when fit struggled to dislodge
Frank Lampard or Claude Makelele from Chelsea's midfield.
Potentially available for as little as £4m 16 months after he left
Charlton for £10m, Parker would represent a major coup for the Newcastle
manager Graeme Souness. A deal may be completed next week.
Souness has returned from holiday and is expected to be at Lansdowne
Road this afternoon to see the Republic of Ireland play Israel. The
Israeli midfielder Yossi Benayoun of Racing Santander is on
Souness's list of possible purchases and the Scot may also take the
opportunity to speak to Shay Given, Newcastle's goalkeeper, who remains
unsettled. But Souness could be stymied in his recruitment aims by
the failure as yet to offload Craig Bellamy or Laurent Robert.
