Toon Fail To Attract Pardew's Wishlist
Bryan Ruiz had already made his mind up to join Fulham before Newcastle United made a move. The Chronicle understands that Ruiz was annoyed that his move to the Cottagers was slightly delayed after Newcastle’s interest. United tabled a late bid of £11m for the Costa Rica star yesterday but Ruiz preferred to go to Fulham from FC Twente. The 26-year-old was the man that United turned to after late window bids for £8m Mobido Maiga were turned down by Sochaux and SC Freiburg’s £15m hotshot Papiss Cisse was another target that they failed to land. Newcastle also attempted to bolster their squad with the addition of Birmingham City’s Liam Ridgewell with Nile Ranger meant to be heading the other direction. However, on a day of frustration, Newcastle fans were left under-whelmed once again.
