Newcastle United and Feyenoord have different opinions on this transfer. Newcastle are claiming to be ready to sign the Aussie midfielder, but Feyenoord are saying that no contact has been made since last August. Newcastle United have made no fresh offer for Brett Emerton. Recent reports suggested that the Magpies were going for a knockdown deal, but there has been no contact between Newcastle United and Feyenoord.

United are confident of signing the Australian midfielder, but a spokesman for the Dutch club said: "Newcastle have not contacted Feyenoord on this matter for some time"

A United spokesman added: "It looks like they still want £4m but the chairman reckons he won't end up paying even half that, because Feyenoord will be so desperate to cash in, whether it's this summer or in the New Year."
