Is this what you remember?

“You have got the money factor, which is always there, loan fees and all those sort of things, and we just can't compete with a lot of the teams that have got the finance,” he said.

“There are loads of factors that I don't think people understand when you go for a loan, especially with a goalkeeper.

If anything happens to Newcastle's first two goalkeepers they call your goalkeeper in and you are left with two younger ones - and that could happen on the first day of the season. Whoever ends up getting him has got a really top goalkeeper.”

You see, either by accident or by design, the second & third paras seem more relevant to me.

Like I say, no-one has confirmed anything.
