Newcastle's Mystery Scout Is Off To The Sun!

Yes, it is 'Funny Season' once again, with the tabloids linking every man and his pooch with a transfer to St James' Park.

The Jocks have taken a hammering once Kevin Keegan said he could be looking north of the border for transfers.

I think every Celtic player under 30 years of age has been linked with a move to Tyneside, and Hibs and Rangers have had a few (regardless of age) on KK's shopping list. "Allegedly" of course.
 
But Scotland has been spared the latest rumours, as "the Magpies dispatched one of their scouts to watch Olympiakos in action at the weekend and it is understood Torosidis was their primary target".

That scout is off to the sun, and good luck to him!

"The 22-year-old is an attacking right-back and is rated as one of the best young players in Greece having impressed hugely for Olympiakos this term.

"He is already an established member of the Greek national side with 10 caps to his name."
