Signed by Schteve McClaren. Seems like a lifetime ago.

Puke's article FWIW: Nottingham Forest are on the verge of signing Newcastle United midfielder Jonjo Shelvey before the transfer window closes on Tuesday. Newcastle are currently making a series of checks with both foreign and Premier League clubs to ascertain whether they are able to sign a central midfielder on loan before the window closes. Telegraph Sport understands that Shelvey is keen to make the switch and is close to a return to full fitness after a calf injury. The 30-year-old is one of Newcastle’s longest serving players having signed from Swansea City back in back in 2016, but he is no longer first-choice and will be used as cover for Bruno Guimaraes if he remains on Tyneside. Shelvey also missed a large chunk of the campaign with a hamstring injury, limiting him to just five appearances and a solitary start against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup. But Forest have identified the former Liverpool star as the midfield playmaker to help them stay in the Premier League. More to follow . . .

Forest clearly have a thing for our reserve players.

Dylan Stephenson scores for Hamilton Accies.

Agree. If Bruno gets injured at the moment, it's a struggle to see where the creativity comes from. If we had Maddison it wouldn't be such an issue. Even better both of them playing.

Hope the trip to Riyadh is connected to this.

Presumably bollocks? https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2023/01/28/newcastle-transfer-news-eddie-howe-readies-bid-for-lille-star-tiago-djalo/

Can never understand the Scouse accent. Tried to watch a Paddy the Baddy interview recently but quickly gave up. Could only figure out he ended every sentence with "lad".

25 year contract?

He may be in the Manchester area at around 8 p.m. tomorrow (if selected).

He's back.

Ah Pamela and his Alice band. Saw him score at Anfield if I recall correctly. It was all downhill from there.

£40m plus £5m in add-ons?

Nail on head.

Not a bad article for the Daily Fail: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11681317/DOMINIC-KING-Anthony-Gordon-knows-city-club-no-Everton-bewildering.html

Can't see Dunc going Vegan. He probably eats raw meat.

Loan(s) with an obligation would work if the selling side(s) would be willing.

He'll have to sign his cheques before the game. Looks promising our lot going to Riyadh.

A tad late?

My adrenaline runneth over.

They'll be fewming:

Vague as ever. Clearly hasn't got a scooby.

Aye, that would be a bit mad.
