Basically Luke is banking on a couple of weeks without another signing so he can say "see.....". Of course we are looking to offload players. Captain obvious.

One thing I've noticed, he literally goes everywhere. He's sometimes on the right wing, sometimes edge or his box, sometimes in the middle.

His agent was there so he could sign the contract. There was no other reason for him to be there. It's done from that point of view. It will just be some delay in banking, paperwork, getting the documents agreed r.e percentages, payments, add ons etc. Will take some pouring over and rubber stamping. I'd bet my left bollock that he's already had his photo taken in a toon shirt.

Everything I've seen suggests he's Longstaff but with infinite more vision and swagger. I'm also convinced that he will be 3x the player for us that he was for Milan.

I think he's the player who Caulkin was referring to when he said the club were lying about who their targets are. I'm not entirely sure that Maddison is anything like a key target. After Tonali, I don't think anyone knows who our targets are.

Aye somebody has definitely been having something HOME GROWN.

Yeah I'd say even after Tonali, he'd be a stretch. Raphinha maybe.

2007 Thailand, checking NUFC.com, think those were the Coloccini days. Paying to go on a computer in a cafe. Would have almost certainly been checking in here too. Yeah that's right. 2005 i rocked up on N-O looking for rumours.

Mehrdad might want to think twice about his next "welcome to the family" tweet... that means an entirely different thing in Italy.

Because I can't fucking take it going on any longer.

Was thinking more from a league standpoint. They wouldn't have finished top 4 in the PL but I reckon of you asked your average Milan fan, they'd be convinced they would.

Italy play again on Sunday, so we will want it wrapped up before then.

If his agent is back in Milan, it must just be medicals.

I'm sure he was upset, for like a minute, until he realised he was getting 3 times the wages, to play in the best league in the world and to play alongside the sexiest midfielder known to man. Once he arrives on Tyneside and he gets one of Brunos hugs, he will soon realise he's made the right choice. Then he hears his reception from the Gallowgate and he will say "AC who?".

Italians are so weirdly defensive over the state of their football. When we had MA, at least we understood why players continually moved on to better things. It's seems Milan are still holding onto that hope that things can return to the glory days.

Tell Milan Milan He won't be home for tea He wants to play for Eddieeee Tell Milan Milan....

Romano saying no announcement today. Has to be bullshit. Bound to see him in a toon shirt.

Mind, there's not a fucking chance in hell that Tonali ever thought he would be joining us. I'd love it if we find out that we have been tracking him for 12 months or some shit.

The saying goes, everyone has their price. You think if someone sticks a 25m plus bid in for Miggy we aren't selling?

How nice is the though that a black and white shirt is likely getting a private jet into Romania?

Fuck sake. So tommorow then? I'm an impatient cunt. Makes you wonder if this will be a quick once over.

What time they arriving in Romania? Just want to see him in a Newcastle shirt and I can rest easy.

You know what's naughty.... that I think Chiesa is doable.
