After, what seems like weeks of complete inactivity, it appears that Newcastle might finally be on the verge of bringing in some additional recruits.

According to the BBC Oguchi Onyewu is currently on Tyneside undergoing a medical, with a view to joining on loan for the rest of the season. Interestingly enough, his was one of the names floated in the comments to our post at the start of the transfer window period.

NUFC.com also suggest that we are looking to bring in striker Frédéric Piquionne on loan from St Etienne, with the player unhappy with his current employer, and unsurprisingly reluctant to go to Charlton.
