Parker is a Magpie
SCOTT Parker has completed his move from Chelsea to Newcastle United after successfully completing a medical on Tyneside on Wednesday.
Parker, who joined Chelsea from Charlton 18 months ago, becomes Graeme Souness' first signing of the summer and admits he can't wait to kick-start his career at Gallowgate after a frustrating time at Stamford Bridge.
"I'm delighted to be joining Newcastle," Parker told nufc.co.uk.
"As soon as Chelsea made it clear they were prepared to let me leave, I was keen on this move.
"I have played here a few times, and I know how big the club is. I was very impressed with the manager, he was a major factor behind my decision to come here.
"I was also impressed with the chairman, and I just get the right vibes about the whole place. I can't wait to get started now."
He added: "It has been frustrating for me at Chelsea. I was a key figure at Charlton and playing every week, and then all of a sudden at Chelsea I wasn't a regular and had to get used to being on the sidelines.
"But that has made me a stronger person, and I don't leave Chelsea believing that I've failed. I have learned a lot there and developed as a player, and I'm confident you will see that at Newcastle next season.
"I'm not content with just sitting on the bench and playing a bit part. It was hard for me last season when Chelsea were doing so well and I wasn't really part of it
"I want to play, I have a hunger and a desire and maybe that is even stronger now because of what happened to me at Stamford Bridge.
"Chelsea is a club where trophies are part of the make-up. I have a desire to win things, and I feel that at Newcastle I can do that.
"The manager has given me a huge lift, I feel wanted again and I know I can do a good job here at Newcastle United."
Chairman Freddy Shepherd was delighted to tie up the signing of Parker, and says he will be a valuable addition to the squad.
"Scott has been our main target for a while, and we're delighted that he has chosen to join us," said Mr Shepherd.
"He is our first signing of the summer, and will be a valuable addition to our squad. He is still young but has a lot of experience, and we welcome him to Newcastle and look forward to seeing him in a black and white shirt."
TOON ARMY said:Hold on mate, why would we want him? He’s old, lacks pace and his wage demands are stupid. He’s worth 15k a week at best.
Good luck to him in Qatar with all the other has beans.
