By hook or crook we’ll get him

Who’s this crook?

Howe: There is still time and there is work going on to try and see what we can do in the last few hours of the window. So while there is time there is hope. "No I don't think we will be closed [for business] right until the end. There may be one or two of the younger players going out, there's two or three of those. So let's see what happens in the last few hours. I'm clinging to this.

Freudian slip

Fuck, was he that old Feels like he's been there for a good while. Forget that then

I don't think he's doing what's expected, we don't usually see the very best players at their peak leave for Saudi, Neymar being the exception I guess. He could make more money than he could spend in one of the big leagues.

He's 25 years old and should have his best years just ahead of him

And he'll waste four years in it, at the top of his career. Fuck's sake

First time the Saudi league lands an absolutely top tier player at his peak? A shift?

The transfer window will close at 23:00 BST on Friday for the Premier League, English Football League and in Scotland. Across Europe, the Bundesliga window will close at 19:00, Ligue 1 22:00 and in Serie A and La Liga it is 23:00 BST.

I think it's a case of, deep down, we know what Newcastle United is about; we just know things will go tits up, so we're just waiting for it to happen.

He walked away from Bournemouth didn't he?

Howe is adamant it's them he wants. Mitchell suggested the Headhunters but Howe wouldn't have it

Yeah, I’m puzzled. Summer is when you make sure you can push on, especially after that season we had. We know the owners and leadership are ambitious, so it can’t be that.

Love Tino

We have Kelly too. But yeah, the situation isn't ideal.

75m is a piss take. Just forget him and move on.

West Ham open to offers for Ward-Prowse. Stagnated a bit hasn't he, even though I think he's too slow and only really good at set pieces. EDIT: Still, scores quite a lot for a CM.

Scandalous. The game is rigged and fucked

Not a good performance and slightly worrying but I'll take the win

GET IN

Pope looks tiny compared to their keeper

1990, 34 years ago. So not THAT long ago compared to us tbf

He definitely should
