Nikos Dabizas
	IN ALL LIKELINESS Coming In? Ronaldinho: He isn't likely to come to St James' Park. Manchester United or somehwere in Spain is much more likely. James Beattie: Many think he may be the new Alan Shearer. His background as well as style of play is very similar to Alan Shearer's and he's often been linked with a move to Newcastle in the past 12 months but a move looks unlikely at this stage. Neither Southampton or Beattie seem to want to see a move happen with the club's future looking good. Lee Bowyer: SIGNED! Bowyer has agreed personal terms with Newcastle United and should complete the move when he has a medical in the coming weeks, after he fully recovers from a niggling injury. Michael Carrick: Although a Geordie, and a player we've tried to sign in the past, it is unlikely we'll be signing Carrick. He's now available to buy with West Ham's relegation from the Premier League last season, but with the recent addition of Lee Bowyer it's hard to see Sir Bobby bringing him in as well. Brett Emerton: Likely, but more likely next summer or possibly next January than this summer. Wayne Bridge: Unlikely as Southampton's asking price is a bit too high, and with Southampton's future looking bright Bridge is in no hurry to leave Southampton. Morten Gamst Pedersen: Norweigen midfielder with great potential, tipped as Norway's answer to David Beckham. We've had scouts watch him recently and could make a bid this summer but his team is apparently asking a big price for him, a price tag we are likely to refuse to pay for a young player with only potential. Going Out? Nikos Dabizas: The Greek international is on the way out, where is the only question surely. He wants to stay in England, but not for a club outside of the Premier League but is willing to go to Spain, Holland etc... if offered a good deal. A good chance we may swap him for Leeds United's Geordie born striker Michael Bridges who's been plauged with injuries the last couple of seasons so available cheap. Nolberto Solano: Unlikely at this stage as the club's said they don't want to sell him and nobodies put in a serious offer but if/when Brett Emerton completes a move to Newcastle, Nobby is expected out soon after that. Hugo Viana: Not a chance, not this summer anyway. Juventus are rumoured to be interested, even if only for a loan deal for the season but Sir Bobby doesn't want to let the midfielder go and rightfully so. If however in the next 12 to 18 months Hugo doesn't get a more regular place in the team he may want out as he's a player who should be starting more games with his talent. Craig Bellamy: Not a chance, not any time soon anyway. His off field problems have lead to the odd rumour he's on the way out but he's a strong part of the team, the fans love him, Sir Bobby loves him and he's trying to cut out the nonsence off the pitch so is very unlikely to be on the way out unless we're offered crazy money. Carl Cort: A question of when, not if. He's not in the plans for the future, his injury problems have been the reason for this, he's been bitterly unlucky with injuries and they may keep us from selling him. Which would mean somebody would maybe pick him up when his contract expires. Hopefully we'll sell him soon to get back some of what we paid for him. Laurent Robert: Not likely to be sold. If we can agree a part exchange with P.S.G for Ronaldinho he could be going but we wont likely get him to come here and Robert is happy on Tyneside so Robert is likely to still be here come the opening game kick off.
