I'vs corrected it bleeding spell checker

Arrangements being made by "The Magpie Group" "To protest in numbers outside SD on Northumberland St before the Spurs game"

This from N.O. Chris Hughton - widely loved by the fans, gave us hope and raised expectations - sacked Keegan - universally loved, gave us hope and raised expectations - undermined and forced out Rafa - universally loved, gives us hope and raised expectations - being undermined and forced out Pardew - snivelling failure, hated by most of the fans - given an 8 year contract

Wouldn't be surprised to see us & Rafa getting a kicking the bollocks off Ashley by selling Lascelles on the last day of the window

It's not bad is it 7 days until the window shuts & 9 days until our 1st prem game & we have... Rafa pissed off The players pissed off The fans pissed off Ashley not giving a flying fuck This season's going to be horrendous & has relegation almost nailed on before a ball's been kicked

Aye I think so we can probably expect Ashley on Sky over these next few days

Suggestions now from West Brom that Rondon’s release clause has now expired.

No truth in this apparently

Another post match snippet from last night... NUFCTV: You got a good draw against Porto and defended really well. Now it just didnt quite seem to be the case. Rafa: No we were poor in both games. The other day we were lucky to draw. NUFCTV: Any positives to take? Rafa: No.

Tonight's post match comments from Rafa he's very pissed off... Rafa: “Things aren’t going well off the pitch.” When asked what, he said: “Everything.” When asked about money to spend: “I have no idea.” Things are not going well off the pitch... I’m worried. Fans are concerned - they have to be. We are concerned. Rafa: “Our fans are very clever. They know what is going on. Keith Downie... Rafa, are you close to any new signings?” Rafa Benitez: “I have no idea.” Rafa on how much needs to be done before the transfer deadline: “A lot. For me, I said before, three or four players.” Rafa speaking to @bbcnewcastle: “Am I optimistic, thinking that in ten days, we can do what we didn’t do in two months? I don’t think so. But, still, I think it’s obvious we need people, we need bodies.” Rafa asked by @bbcnewcastle for the latest on transfers: “I don’t know. We have been working for months - sometimes we can sign players, sometimes we cannot. At the moment, I don’t know Rafa: “We have been talking for a while about players. I think it’s the time to act, more than talk.” A frustrated Rafa Benitez on transfers: “I said two months ago what we needed, and 10 days before the start of season we still are where we are. There’s 4/5 players we thought we could bring but we haven’t.” Rafa: "I can't say too much about players coming because in the end it depends on so many things and we don't finish the deals." The players opted against doing any post-game interviews tonight. Rafa stated: "As I say things aren't going well off the pitch and you can see a reflection." The players said it was "nothing personal" to journalists Even the players who normally speak after every game win, lose or draw said they couldn't tonight. They stated it was agreed in the dressing room after the game.

https://themagpiegroup.co.uk We all know Ashley will just bin the letter without reading it. But the bigger picture is all the separate groups are uniting together. This feels like the start of something far bigger than we'vs seen before

2nd class postage stamp

Stolen from N.O.

The Premier League's summer transfer window will close at 17:00 BST on Thursday, 9 August.

This from the Chronicle... Rafa Benitez still wants to add FOUR new players to his squad before deadline day. It is understood that the Newcastle United boss has made his concerns crystal clear to managing director Lee Charnley after handing a wanted list to the hierarchy in the last few days. Benitez immediately flagged up that a new centre-back was needed following the injury to Florian Lejeunewhile his wish-list also contained left-back targets - including Ajax’s Nicolas Tagliafico - and both a striker and a new number 10. However, Benitez has been told he must continue to cut his cloth accordingly and that only a limited spending pot is available during the rest of the window.

It's much less than 3 weeks mate the window closes next Thursday August 9th. I'm fairly certain Rafa would have a good case given Ashley's past history regarding Keegan, were he was proved to be a liar in court.

£42 million sales so far Chancel Mbemba (£6m) Mikel Merino (£10m) Jack Colback loan (free transfer) Aleksandar Mitrovic (£22m) Matz Sels (£4m) £7m buys (so far…) Fabian Schar (£3m) Kenedy (loan) Ki Sung-yueng (free transfer) Martin Dubravka ( £4m ) £35 m Net

House Of Fraser have asked Ashley for an emergency £50 million loan to stop them collapsing.

Sky confirming Mitrovic to Fulham for £22 million rising to £27 million with add-ons

Yeah

Noelle the fee that's being quoted is £22 million it could possibly be £27 million with add ons

So how much are we looking at in incoming & outgoings this window so far ?

I hope your right i guess we'll soon see less than a fortnight to the Spurs games

Rondon's stats are very similar to Gayle's last season Gayle 35 appearances for 6 goals Rondon 36 appearances for 7 goals
