Exactly. These owners aren’t chancers, they’re some of the most successful people around. They know how to run a business to maximise its potential, and the bit they don’t know how to run (football) they’ve brought in some of the best in the field to do it for them. We’re in safe hands.

I recorded that on my phone, was more than a clip, it was a full on thwack. Video ended up on Look North

The high intensity, high pressing game suits him to a tee. It’s his spot in the team to lose now.

Unlucky Murphy

Not gonna make kick off is he

If you subscribe then cancel straight away it’s just a one off cost of £14.99 and you get a months worth so I may just do that. Or get a Big River alternative

Probably because they’re making him take part in training.

Pope, Dubravka, Gillespie Trippier, Krafu, Schar, Lascelles, Burn, Botman, Targett, Dummett, Lewis Bruno, Joelinton, Shelvey, S Longstaff, Willock, New CM, Anderson (U21) ASM, Wilson, Wood, Almiron, Fraser, New Striker, New RW Leave out Murphy, Manquillo, Fernandez, Ritchie, Darlow and anyone else I’ve forgotten. Bring one of these back in if we don’t fill the full squad with 3 more signings (I expect 2 so bring Murphy back in)

Well deserved after last season. Decent backup on a minimal wage. Probably means the end for Manquillo mind.

I read the quote just as we’ve probably only got a limited amount left to spend on attacking reinforcements, and it’s important because he’s got a few different options which we could pursue so he wants to go for the right one. I wouldn’t read too much in to it.

Lyon have said they need to trim their squad and they’ll consider offers for all of their players

Went in the club shop yesterday at SJP. There’s literally fuck all in there. No new training kit, no away kit for the kids, no new keeper kits.

None without my 7 and 5 year olds pulling daft faces in

Yeah they have, they looked much smarter.

Leicester wanted Rafa when he was with us. I think he’ll be there before the season is out.

Just did the stadium tour. Apparently the renovations in the concourses cost £9m in total. Also the rail seats were being installed when I was there.

The Highbury screamer passed away today.

Darlow, Fernandez, Ritchie, Manquillo, Murphy. Leaves squad of Pope, Dubravka, Gillespie Krafth, Trippier, Lascelles, Burn, Botman, Schar, Dummett, Targett, Lewis Shelvey, Bruno, Joelinton, Willock, Longstaff ASM, Wood, Wilson, Almiron, Fraser Leaves room for up to 3 signings and a tbc around Anderson who doesn’t count in the 25 anyway.

There’s no need for more than 60k really, 65k at an absolute maximum. If we can extend the Gallowgate then that’s more than sufficient.

Been saying this all summer. Get another 8k on to get us up to 60k and that would be more than sufficient.

Lee Marshall getting the boot then? Or moving to a different role?

"Matty's own personal situation … he will have his own thoughts,” said Howe. “Mine’s to try and keep him, but it's well documented that Matty has been a way from his family for a long period of time. He loves playing for Newcastle – and is very passionate about the club – but, I think, it’s unclear what direction we’ll take this year. But, from both sides, there’s a lot of respect."

Sounds like he’s off based on Howe’s comments today.
