MAJOR DEAL: Fat Freddy Flies to Los Angeles

By Matthew Jones
July 25 2003

Freddy Shepherd has left Malaysia and is now in Los Angeles to secude a "major deal". This means that he, along with Douglas Hall, will miss the final of the Asia Cup, in which Newcastle will play either Chelsea or the Malaysian National Team.

Newcastle United chairman, Freddy Shepherd and Douglas Hall both left Malaysia today, to head off to the States. Manchester United, Celtic, Juventus and Barcelona are all in the US at present, but the fans are still no wiser as to what this deal actually is.

Will Shepherd agree to sell Dyer to Manchester United for £25M? Will he sign Balde of Celtic? Or Kluivert of Barcelona? Will he be forming a "Los Angeles United FC"?
