A loan offer it is. Wouldn't mind though - looks a player.

Excellent news. Really hope there's an option to buy.

Both of the feckers:

Portuguese press unfortunately: https://www.abola.pt/nnh/Noticias/Ver/739261

Douglas said we weren't interested earlier today: Le 10 Sport understand that Premier League side Newcastle United submitted a loan offer to Lille for midfielder Thiago Maia, but that the offer has been rejected for the Brazilian. The offer included an option to buy, but LOSC have turned it down as they would prefer to sell outright and immediately.

Textbook.

They'll be happy he can't play against them next season.

With Mbemba, Merino and Mitro off we should have almost £40m plus whatever he gets off Jabba. Not that we will spend it like.

Hope this is reliable AND with an option!

Can see this one happening: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/6723188/newcastle-salomon-rondon-rafa-benitez/ Saw Albert Bloody Adomah linked this morning. No thank you.

He'd need to see some serious actions to commit to 5 years: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/rafa-benitez-cancelled-holiday-push-12871952

Whatever happened to Ronaldo?

Disappointed if true.

Ings is probably Rafa's type of player. Think we went for him on loan in January.

Agree with this.

Kenedy and Berisha: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/06/29/newcastle-sign-ki-sung-yueng-continue-pursuit-kenedy/

Decent signing imo.

Aye:

Prepare to be underwhelmed....

Sturaro mentioned quite a lot recently. I'm sure it will go swimmingly until money is mentioned.

Danny Ings?

They will probably need to extend it again as there's not much chance anything apart from outgoings happens by Monday. What did they think would happen?
