Is there life after Gianluigi Buffon for Juve?
Oh I'm sure they will survive ... but it won't be with Tim Krul.
Tim's man-of-the-match display in Newcastle’s 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur (before the international break) has apparently reached Italy.
The Holland international is understood to be on the Serie A club’s shortlist of potential successors to Italy legend Buffon.
Krul – who is also interesting AC Milan – is under contract at St James’s Park until 2017 and that's the way it will stay.
The 25-year-old is settled on Tyneside, and has been since he joined the Magpies from Den Haag in 2005, and Italy does not interest him.
Tim Krul: “I feel like a Geordie now and feel at home.
“You know you feel at home when you can understand a proper Geordie in a conversation.”
The report in the newspapers is utter bollox - Gianluigi Buffon still has TWO AND A HALF YEARS left on his contract.
IDEAL FOR CHRISTMAS
MAGPIES IN EUROPE -
HARVEY TO PARDEW
Although NUFC are not talking to the Chronicle or Sunday Sun ... we are!
And the full story is expected to be in newspapers within the next two weeks.
The official new title is "Magpies In Europe - Harvey To Pardew" and is an up-dated version of "From Antwerp To Zurich" - which includes the 14 Europa League fixtures we played last season.
The 280-page book features match reports from the 134 European matches Newcastle United have played, starting with the memorable 4-0 win over Feyenoord in 1968 on our European debut.
Included are stats and the figures you would expect, but also each away fixture has the remarkable experiences of individuals who travelled to watch the matches.
Introduction by "Big Bad" John McNamee, part of the Fairs Cup winning team of 1969.
It is a fascinating history that every Newcastle United fan will enjoy.
And with a limited print-run, make sure you order a copy.
