Statement from Zayed group, via the S*n.

"It reads: “In response to numerous reports in the world media this morning, we would like to comment as follows.

“We can confirm the representatives of his Highness Sheikh Khaled Bin Zayed Al Nahyan are in discussions with Mike Ashley and his team about the proposed acquisition of Newcastle United Football Club.

“We view it as an honour to have the opportunity to build on the strong support, history and tradition of the club.

“We have agreed terms and are working hard to complete the transaction at the earliest opportunity"

Can't get over how good some of his transfer business has been like, especially when that was the biggest criticism of his time at Liverpool. Dubravka, Schar and Lejeune have all been extraordinary signings in this market.

 

Roughly £17M for those 3 players is tremendous business like.

 

Add in Lascelles who barely got a game pre-Benitez and was then his captain a few month later.

Technically signed under Pardew...

Absolutely staggering the amount of our fans who actually think it wasn't a foul. Unbelievable.

Way of the world isn't it.

Whatever you think, just as many people think the exact opposite.

Bargain buy for Blackburn. Good luck to the lad. Probably score against us in the FA Cup within in the next 5 years and become the next Graham Fenton. 

Turned out it was within the next 5 months.

Deleted his Instagram account apparently.

 

SOFT CUNT ALERT.

 

 

Defo had teeth girl slide into his DMs. Don't blame the lad.

:lol:

Posted a picture of Newcastle Airport on Instagram.

 

 

He might just be an absolute weirdo who likes airports though.

Reckon the £0.1m will put Mike off buying him permanently like.

 

"You want £19.1m... Let's bid £11.1m... wait... you accept!?!?!?" *frantically searches for the withdraw transfer bid button*

Could be something, could be nothing, but.....

 

A private jet has just landed at Newcastle from France with a single passenger wearing a tracksuit.

Who, if you’ll excuse the generality of it - looks like a footballer.

 

 

 

Was he doing keepie uppies?

Probably signing for Sunderland.

What happened today?

 

Should have had a pen, and Kamara should have been either sent off with a straight red or a subsequent second yellow. Obviously we got neither.

Blatant, aye?

 

I'd say the straight red was contentious, but if that wasn't a straight red then he definitely should have had a second yellow for the over the top shoulder barge on Kenedy.

Grabbed Kennedy by the throat.

Google Ads have a daily budget set usually, so if it were to max out, it should reset the next day.

It's possible (although unlikely) that Google have detected fraud. I work for a gym chain, and we have a number of club staff who (despite our best efforts) click on our paid ads out of laziness when going to sign people up. We've never had any warnings of click fraud at all, so I think it's unlikely click fraud would have detected on this scale.

Given how Ashley works, I'd imagine we're under quite a lot of scrutiny (being on a public forum). It wouldn't surprise me if Keith Bishop has instructed the ads be disabled until this "blows over".

Alternatively, they could just have stopped them in the North East and continued running them elsewhere. You can put exclusion limits in place to a high degree of accuracy, so it could be blocked in Newcastle, Co. Durham etc quite easily.

Would also explain why you're not getting ad results connected via Hong Kong.

N-O

:lol:

I know this type of thing happens a lot, but it's the first time I've actually seen it favour us.

Normally you'll find a passing seagull which interfered with the referee's eyesight, so even though Mitrovic was booked, it gets upgraded to a four match ban. With an extra match for the hassle of having to look at it.

Back walking on a treadmill 6 days post-op.

That's pretty damn good, isn't it?

Atmosphere was fine.  It's only the stayaway arsehole that say otherwise.  I mean ....... how on earth would you know what the atmosphere was like whilst sitting at home or in a pub?

Atmosphere was very subdued. And I was there.

We're a fucking joke.

 

Best one yet.

Agreed.

Rafa's going to war.

Get in.

Worth remembering Newcastle are in the top 20 revenue generating clubs in the world...

Makes an absolute mockery of our transfer policy.

It's utterly pathetic.

Don't understand how anyone watch how we play and think Southgate made a mistake.

 

 

 

Name a player not in the starting 11 who has made an impact at the tournament?! That's why....

 

We are in the semi final

 

I simply don't understand why people think Shelvey would fit into what we have done.

 

We defend on the front foot with a lot of sprinting and recovering, there's no way in hell Shelvey would be any good

In such a setup.

 

It's thinking like this is why we've failed for so many years, we finally have a team and people are trying to think of ways to mess it up.

I think the Tunisia game and spells of the Colombia game they were crying out for him. On top, decent share of possession, needed something different to unlock.

Wouldn't surprise me if a deal was concluded to sign permanently at some point in the season, similar to how they finalised the Merino deal much earlier than they had to. I know there's no clause it seems, I just think they'll go back during the season maybe when some more of the cash has come through.

They'll need to pay of the capitalisation of the drain pipes at the training ground instead, or something.

Definitely, but I'd rather it was an organic process rather than "we aint got enough senior lads"

Totally agree. I think it sometimes makes it more difficult for players coming through who deserve to, if it's tainted with a perception they're there because the club is desperate.

As much as we need new signings, I'd love to see some youth come through. Heard good things about Longstaff.
