Please god let this be true hahahaha Taken from SKY Sports website Newcastle United could emerge as shock contenders for Siena striker Tore Andre Flo's signature. The former Sunderland man is open to offers as he looks to leave Serie A and Magpies boss Graeme Souness is said to be considering an approach for the Norwegian target man. Newcastle are woefully short of attacking options at the moment with only Alan Shearer and rookie Michael Chopra available for the InterToto Cup campaign, presuming Craig Bellamy is not considered for selection. Flo has been talking to clubs in England and had been expected to attract attention in the south of England with Queens Park Rangers keen to set up a daring bid for the 32-year-old. Gunnar-Martin Kjenner, the player's representative, has already hinted that a Premiership switch would be high on Flo's agenda. "He still has a house in Ascot [Berkshire] so if any clubs want to sign him, I definitely think it's possible," he stated recently. "I think he would be happy to come back to England and The Premiership is the first choice of course. "He has said to me, if it's possible, he wants to go to a club in England." __________________
Graeme Souness confirmed via the official website on Thursday that our alleged interest in signing former mackem plank Tore Andre Flo was pure fiction. Said Souness: "There is no truth in it whatsover." The story looks have originated on Sky Sports earlier on Thursday, having been filed by someone called Fotis Voinikas. It's the latest in a number of spurious overseas transfer links to have appeared from the same source - only to promptly disappear and never be heard of again. For instance, Sky have alleged this year that we are on the verge of acquiring such luminaries as: Samir Nasri, John Ruddy, Oguchi Onyewu, Jam Kromamp, Juan Riquelme, Yacine Abdessadki, Daniel Majstorovic, Salim Arrache, Ricardo, Anatolii Tymoschuk and Diego Milito.
