Rangers have reached an agreement with Juve for Ramsey 🤣 Something tells me this won't go through when Rangers see his wage demands. But maybe Juve will agree to pay a percentage to just get rid of him.

Phillips has gone to Bournemouth according to Romano. Seems an odd one. Maybe we didn't want him, or perhaps more likely the bin dippers didn't want to do us any favours.

As far as Hope's tweet on this, I thought it was reported ages ago that Ekitike was keen? So either that was bollocks then, Hope is full of shite, or the lad has changed his mind.

I think he was speaking fairly generally in fairness, as opposed to in regard to his clubs specifically. And I'd Imagine at Nancy, Monaco at the time, and the Japanese team he managed there was plenty to do. At Arsenal of course he has a pretty solid spine to work with. In any case as I'm sure you picked up on I'm mostly joking. It's champagne problems.

I think I read that he was like second or third in Europe for scoring after coming on off the bench. So he could be a very useful supersub.

I reckon we could still end up with a Phillips or a Diop, along with Lingard come the end of the window to add to the six mentioned above. They'll be the cherry's on top, although it could be argued that two centre backs were essential. Of course, and not to piss in any cornflakes, there is the received wisdom that it's very hard to integrate more than three players into a squad per window. It was Wenger who said it iirc. I think he was of the opinion that having more than three come in at one time can destabilise the other players in the squad, among other concerns. So yeah, we've signed too many players, sack the board 😂

Newcastle United Could Put Offer In Tonight For West Ham Target (insidefutbol.com) West Ham target? He was our target before theirs the cunts 😡😀

It would be nice to get Burn and Targett confirmed early tomorrow, and then we can enjoy the madness over what potential attacking talent we go for.

Is he much of any improvement over Dummett? Probably not, but then again he's not as injury prone as Dummett. With Targett we at least always have a solid defence minded LB on hand, and then perhaps we can play Lewis in games where we look to be more expansive.

Newcastle close to signing Matt Targett on loan (90min.com) Targett on his way to have a medical tomorrow according to 90 minutes. Solid is about as much as I can rise to in terms of compliments. I did hear that he was the players player of the year at Villa last season, so he must at the very least put a graft in every game.

West Ham Agree Fee For Newcastle Target But Deal Difficult Logistically (insidefutbol.com) 😐 Annoying if the 'ammers manage to get Nunez. Mind you if they've only agreed a fee we only have to match it, and then see if he'd rather play for pornographers' and the dourest Scotsman alive, or ahem, our owners, and Super Ed 😁

According to the French publication Foot Mercato PSG have reached a verbal agreement to take Dembele off Barca, and they're trying to get it all sorted before the window shuts.

IIRC there were quotes from either him or his club that he hadn't been seduced by us, and that he was waiting for the summer at the very least before deciding his future.

NUFC: Magpies eyeing Ligue 1 attacker | FootballFanCast.com The French football correspondent for BBC is saying that we're after a young French born Guinean striker called Mohammed Bayo. He has 9 in 15 starts this season and two assists. He's supposedly strong in the air and a good finisher. So this is likely the 20 million euro striker that we are after that Jones was talking about.

Bruno & Fraser.

Lads, this is just the January window. Can you imagine what the summer window will be like if we stay up 😀

Dieng and Plea are the closest in terms of transfer value off the top of my head.

Yeah maybe it's complete nonsense. It's a tip they say they got from Dean Jones who's described as a transfer expert. I've no idea how reliable Jones is on transfer news though either.

Newcastle transfer news: Magpies 'on verge of agreeing £16.6m striker deal' | GiveMeSport We've supposedly agreed a €20 million fee for an as yet unnamed striker from a club not from the UK.

The link I have above is Bailey's article that's to be updated, but in it he states that both clubs are confident of getting a deal done.
