Newcastle United are keeping their powder dry in talks for Aston Villa midfielder Stephen Ireland.
The Journal says United are biding their time as they look to add midfield reinforcements.
The club continue to talk to Villa about Ireland, but are not willing to do business at the terms quoted to them last week, believing a better deal may be struck as the deadline draws near.
The Irishman is Toon boss Alan Pardew's No1 target for the month.
