Grealish seems like an absolutely top class bloke

Big Joe surely?!

Ha ha I was racking my brains trying to think of someone more recent - how did I forget him!

You having a giraffe?!

Agree - it's absolutely mental!

Having followed his career intensely since his debut, I am very pleased about this.........! He looks to have great potential and under Eddie's tuition, he will only get better and better! Very astute business! Mind, let's hope he turns out better than our last Danish forward (albeit he was played in the wrong position and didn't do too badly after he left!)!

He looked a superstar when we were in the Championship - I'm sure he tore us to shreds up here? Didn't they get a pen and he had already scored two and didn't take it?!

I did indeed - and with them wanting £80m for him and Gordon valued at roughly the same and with us having Harvey Barnes for left wing - I put 2 + 2 together and hopefully I've got 41!

Aye, my good mate's son is playing!

Yeah - it was not long after he was binned and Shepherd didn't dispute it - mental that - those two would have been about £25 m cheaper as well FFS

Was that not because Shepherd preferred Luque over than Boa Morte as well as Owen over Anelka?!

There is no way in the world that he's on 150K a week! Surely?!

Hebburn vs Sunderland XI tonight - they're bringing a mix of under 23s and first teamers apparently - booked a room out for them to have their own post-match bait by their chef - Hebburn's majestic sausages and chips clearly not good enough

If your employer tried to get rid of you to a bigger company where you’d be on more money and it’s a company you grew up loving (!) - what would your reaction be?! He’s a Liverpool fan and only has two years left on his contract. Hopefully his head hasn’t been turned though and he’s over it! I’d hate him to go to but especially to those wankers!

I'd be gutted if he goes but especially to these lot FFS. Who on earth thought that swap deal was a good idea too? Dear me https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/anthony-gordon-transfer-could-now-29649767

Bastards!

Monaco revisited!

From the Athletic - another Keeper?! I'm certain Dubs will go but we still have four if he does go! What positions/players are they looking at? A centre-back and a right-winger are Howe’s priorities while recruiting another goalkeeper is under consideration. Callum Wilson’s back injury increases the need for another forward, given Alexander Isak is the only fit front man — though any striker being brought in may first depend on the England international leaving. Howe, Mitchell and Eales are unified in their desire to prioritise quality over quantity, with most additions intended to improve the first XI. Newcastle want a right-sided centre-back and Milan’s Thiaw, a 22-year-old Germany international, and Nice’s Jean-Clair Todibo are among those tracked. Howe has been keen to bolster Newcastle’s right wing for several windows, with a significant portion of their budget expected to be spent on that position. Having missed out on top target Michael Olise to Bayern Munich, despite meeting his Crystal Palace release clause, Newcastle retain an interest in Nottingham Forest’s Anthony Elanga, while Noni Madueke of Chelsea has been discussed and Fiorentina’s Gonzalez has been watched. Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin had been a striker target but, after a deal with Everton collapsed last month, Newcastle turned their attention to others. Lille’s Jonathan David has been watched for a long time. Which players could be leaving? Despite managing to comply with PSR by June 30, Mitchell is still looking to reduce their wage bill and the average age of their squad, so further senior players are expected to depart. Kieran Trippier, who is into the final year of his contract, has fielded interest from the Saudi Pro League but no firm offer has arrived. The 33-year-old was photographed at Newcastle Airport on Friday, fuelling rumours of an imminent exit, but he was heading away to Dubai as he has been afforded an extended break after reaching the Euro 2024 final with England. Trippier posted a photo on Instagram over the weekend alongside Tom Spring, Al Ettifaq’s chief scout, with the caption “good meeting”, which has sparked further speculation. Advertisement Miguel Almiron and Martin Dubravka have rejoined the squad, but both can leave for the right price, while Emil Krafth is into the final year of his deal and an exit has been explored. Wilson’s injury complicates any potential exit, but the 32-year-old has less than 12 months remaining on his contract. Newcastle hope to offload Jamal Lewis and Ryan Fraser, with the latter having agreed a deal with Southampton, though the details must be finalised with his club. While Lewis played in Newcastle’s friendlies against SpVgg Unterhaching and Hull City, Fraser remains banished from first-team training and Southampton manager Russell Martin has indicated that the deal needs to progress soon, otherwise they will move on to other targets. Isaac Hayden is also available for transfer. Bruno Guimaraes’ £100million release clause expired in June and Newcastle are keen to keep hold of the Brazil midfielder, although Manchester City have tracked him, while they have no intention of selling Alexander Isak. Howe is hopeful Anthony Gordon will stay, despite internal fears that his head was turned by an awareness of Liverpool’s interest.

Oh dear
