Considering we don't have a manager; the owner is hiding under the bed; Tony Jimenez has ran out of Spanish options; and Dennis Wise is avoiding watching Newcastle to such an extent he's taken up watching WATFORD(!) ... who the hell is making bids for players?
But that doesn't stop the London press from 'speculating'.
Apparently Leeds United have slapped a £6million price-tag on striker Jermaine Beckford in a bid to stop Newcastle signing him.
They can "slap" a price of 6p on him ... it doesn't change the position.
The transfer window is four months away, and let's hope Kevin Keegan is back in the manager's seat by then ... picking the players HE wants ... rather than Dennis Wise.
