Hope “James Trafford’s proposed move to Newcastle is now expected to be completed without any hitches this summer. The Burnley goalkeeper had agreed to join last August only for the deal not to happen, much to the surprise and disappointment of some of those involved. However, sources have expressed extreme confidence this week of the transfer going through at the end of this season, with Trafford still set on St James’ Park. The 22-year-old is in the midst of an astonishing 11-match run without conceding a goal, moving beyond 1,000 minutes since he was last beaten. That run included a pair of penalty saves during a goalless draw with Sunderland last month, ingratiating himself with Newcastle supporters who are aware of their club’s interest in the Cumbrian. One complicating factor that had been mentioned was Manchester City’s buy-back clause. They sold the player to Burnley for £19million two years ago and it is thought a fee in excess of £40m was included as an option to re-sign him. But sources have played down the possibility of that being an issue and say all roads still lead to Tyneside, regardless of whether Burnley win promotion.” “The fee discussed last summer was £16m and, while it will take more than that this time around, Trafford has only two years to run on his contract. Newcastle scouts have continued to watch the England Under-21 star extensively this season and his ball-playing attributes are seen as key to the team’s long-term evolution.“

Sounds like the deal is done to bring him here in the summer.

No issue at all. Actually wouldn’t mind seeing him get more game time depending on opposition to offer some much needed pace centrally.

Makes sense with Trafford incoming and Pope probably commanding the biggest fee of the two. -
Met him briefly once when i was in Philadelphia pre-season and he was interviewing fans post match and I offered up my cousin and wife for the task in hand. And was very friendly. Seemed a normal bloke to me enjoying a hobby. Obviously that was just a very brief introduction. Also I’m surprisingly tolerant of people in person

Not sure he’s a grifter. He’s retired with probably a triple lock pension from the services Probably classes this as history not football content I’m guessing. So when were NUFC formed I’m confused? Sounds like everyone is in align with 1881 now
