Wouldn't sell Mbemba at all, we need the cover and I doubt we'd get a better player in.

Rafa's talk in on Thursday of this week, could be interesting!

Went for 14th as it stands squad wise.

Not sure if a loan move would be a good move from our point of view really. Loan with an option to buy perhaps, but I'm not a great fan of improving other teams players and sending them back, which is all Liverpool seem interested in.

Always wanted a spandex Newcastle top.

Well. That proves me wrong then. ?

Not convinced that all black kit is legit tbh, we're wearing all black socks and shorts with the home kit, can't see how this would give us an alternative in terms of a colour clash.

Nothing more on this Samaris bid reported by the Portuguese media over the weekend then.

All feeling a little familiar at the moment, ill hang fire about being p*ssed off until the season starts, then when the window slams shut, they've p*ssed about again all summer, lead Rafa and the fans along. Until then I'll sit back and watch. I'm the same and will remain patient, but there's really no excuses this summer seeing as they spent zip in January. It's been a year since any significant investment in the squad. (Apart from the Lejeune signing ofc).

Yup, starting to get moderately concerned. Rafa's clearly had a list of targets and so far we've only brought in one of those, Lejeune. Clubs around us and even in the championship are spending some big money, we appear to be treading water. Something has to change.

Dabizas has been on saying we should go out and get him (Samaris). Can't say I know too much about him.

Lol - they won't be trolling their own fans by announcing Gouffran, most likely Lejeune at a guess.

Done well to get him, but I can't help but think he could have done better than Palace. No PL experience so it's always a bit of a gamble, though would have loved to have had him here when we were linked with him the last time, rather than McClaren.

*crickets*

That video from Acquah. Sounds to me like he's trying to talk himself into a move whilst at the same time trying to keep Torino sweet.

Remember a program about Hong Kong people being unhappy at the hordes of Chinese shoppers, calling them locusts etc. There's definitely no love lost there.

Not stressing over this, could be a number of reasons for it. a) The HMRC situation b) If the talk of interested parties looking to buy the club is correct it could be to do with that. An early signing would ease the worries, and hopefully we're not far off that.

The puma logo's on the new kit are stick on apparently and not the usual embroidered ones.

Very little detail in this story, I wonder where they've got this from.

As if he's worth £20m.

That's exactly what's happened. https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/latest-news/magpies-submit-retained-list

Gouffran to be retained.

Personally think Darlow had a great season, would be a bit harsh on him if we got rid. Rafa definitely does seem to prefer Elliot though. Can see this one happening, with Darlow being the fall guy.
