Sven Botman To Travel For Newcastle United Medical On Monday (insidefutbol.com)

😂 Edwards trying to piss in everybody's cornflakes, while appearing ITK, as per usual.

We're looking solid at the back, now we just need those attacking targets to start rolling in. Can't say I'm all that convinced by Eden's little brother Thorgan Hazard.

Milan miss out on Botman to Newcastle United - Football Italia (football-italia.net) Seems like another source, but perhaps it's coming from Alfonso Leocádio original tweets.

I saw the the Slinky, Tommy Poprocket, and domestic abuse play in a Sunday league match in 1974.

EXCLUSIVE: Newcastle hold talks with Nice over potential move for £34m midfielder | NUFC blog – Newcastle United blog – NUFC Fixtures, News and Forum. Another name to add to the pile. A defensive mid who's the son of Lillian Thuram. Lillian clearly has strong genes great player that he was. He has another son who plays in the Bundesliga, both are valued at upwards of 20m, and they're under 25.

Fabrizio Romano has said that Leeds value Raphina at 65m. If that's the case I think we should just let somebody like Arsenal waste their budget. He's a very good player, but he's not that good. I think 40m would be more than fair. Or at the very least I think a player who hasn't done it at a bigger club, and with all the extra pressures that entails, shouldn't go for over 50m. Very good players at elite clubs should for between 50 and 70m, and then the elite players at elite clubs should go for more than 70m.

Pope Trippier Botman Burn Targett Guimaraes Eriksen Joelinton Raphina Wilson Ekitike I'd take that😀I do think that Pope is overall a better keeper than Dubravka, and his numbers seem to bear that out, but to have two keeper's of that quality keeping each other on their toes will be great.

Sassuolo have perhaps signed a replacement for Scamacca, so he could be on the move in the near future. What I've read is the he will perhaps want to stay in Serie A, and that Luis Campos, the new PSG director of football who was linked to us at one point in time, is on good terms with the people who run Sassuolo, so who knows. It would seem we could end up being fourth or fifth choice so it seems pretty unlikely.

Gerrard seems to be going the opposite route to Howe in terms of character of player. I will laugh my head off if it all blows up in his face and he ends of bankrupting Villa and getting the sack. Bale and Coutinho are the last people you want on the proverbial cold night at Stoke, and judging by the Sevilla owners comments, if they weren't just sour grapes, Carlos went there for the money and little else. Of course if we end up signing Bale it will be an utter masterstroke by Ashworth and Howe 😀 There might actually be a connection between Ashworth and Bale given his son, iirc correctly, plays for one of the Welsh youth teams.

Newcastle United monitoring Bristol City prospect after Under-23s breakthrough | BristolWorld Supposedly we're interested in a 16 year old attacking mid off Bristol City. Ashworth isn't fucking about in his attempts to overhaul our youth set up if all these links are true, added to the young Irish and Scottish lads we've already brought to or are in the process of bringing to the club.

Ekitike you'll never know. Ekitike I need you so.

Sky Sports release Hugo Ekitike update after worrying claims from France - Good news? | NUFC blog – Newcastle United blog – NUFC Fixtures, News and Forum.

Newcastle can sign player with £103m release clause for almost £70m less (tbrfootball.com) Supposedly we're interested in Darwin Nunez's understudy/former striking partner. His stats on first sight don't look at all impressive, given he only scored seven goals and had one assists in 29 appearances, but 12 of those appearances were fairly short subs on, and he scored those goals once he was starting and had a consistent run in the side. Regardless though if his price really is thirty odd million then it's far too much for someone who's just come on the scene and didn't even play consistently for a full season. Although I suppose the same could be said for Ekitike. It's a risky game the club seem to be playing, as in they're attempting to get players right before they start fulfilling their potential, but I suppose that's the game that sides like Leipzig, Dortmund etc play. There's also the fact that Benfica don't need to sell after getting the fee for Nunez. Newcastle offer for signing could reach €20-25m - Youngster has 'pulverised' records - Sport Witness There's also another story about this Roger Fernandes kid from Braga. That's a lot of money to pay for someone who they'd supposedly have to loan back to Braga given he's still only 16. If it's Ashworth's call he must have extremely high hopes for this kids development.

Most likely the ten million more is in add on's to the transfer fee as opposed to the wages.

Newcastle United interested in Nick Pope; other Burnley players on radar (90min.com) Cornet I'd take for definite. McNeil has potential given he's still only 22, but I'd imagine he'll be more expensive than Cornet, so if it's a choice between the two I'd go for Cornet. If you can score 9 goals for that Burnley side in 26 games you've obviously got something about you.

Newcastle United agree fee and personal terms for Kilmarnock's Charlie McArthur - The Athletic One for the future but a lot of potential by all accounts.

I don't really see the point in bringing in Pope when we're supposedly after someone with superior distribution to what we have in Dubravka.

Thank fuck those "leaked" fixtures were pure bollocks. They had us playing all the top sides in the first month or so. The actual fixtures are much more manageable, with the three match run of Citeh at home and Wolves and Liverpool away the only real ball aching run until November. As for the office software discussion I had no idea there was such a thing as a scrum master 😂 so you learn something new everyday.

Just read that Ward-Prowse is valued at 75m by Southampton. Mind you the original source of that valuation was The Sun, so who knows how accurate it is. If it is true it's just yet another example of the ridiculous over valuation attached to English players. Ward-Prowse is a very decent player, but he's barely worth half that.

“Newcastle are trying to hijack the deal” - Toon launch late bid for £20m man ahead of medical? | NUFC blog – Newcastle United blog – NUFC Fixtures, News and Forum. Possible Botman alternative given he's a left footed centre back. If true it could also be us trying to focus the minds of Lille and Botman's agent.
