West Ham central defender Anton Ferdinand has pulled out of negotiations with Newcastle United, reports The Independent. According to the same report, West Ham are desperate to offload Ferdinand who they think is being paid too much.
Newcastle would have been able to sign the defender for about £6 million, claims The Independent, but Ferdinand is in no rush to leave West Ham.
Kevin Keegan would have hoped to completely rebuild his squad this summer, but so far he is failing to attract players to St. James’ Park. Luka Modric shunned them in favour of Tottenham while prime target Richard Dunne opted to stay at Manchester City.
Now Newcastle will focus on convincing a defender that their club is not as bad as it seems after they have lost three defenders but failed to bring in any.

Thank you so much Anton : ) …. Now you can maintain your G-G-G-G-G-G- Unit, Gangsta, Wana be thug, Blinged out, Hyped up, Ali G’d persona Daan your manner innit bruv! KEEP FLOSSIN DEM ‘AMMERS BLAD. Nuff respek, you is off da hook.
Can anybody detect some slight sarcasm? Im over the moon talks were ended and Anton is NOT moving to Newcastle United. We have been down the road of signing these “bling boys” ie, Dyer, Bellamy, Bramble, Jenas …
We now have a pool of very promising, young talent at the club, we dont need them corrupted, having there heads turned by the over payed antics of players like this.
judge kevin at the end of the season ,anyway newcastle arnt in for ferdinand and that comes from someone who is close to him .
try to convince a defender newcastle is not a bad club…its a great club probably
the best outside the top four dont want mug lips ferdinand hes another bling boy like jenas and dyer he should think himself lucky a club as good as nufc has come in for him. the club suffers because of cr@p (southern) media coverage
