Keep it up chaps!

He’s in Dubai (skyline image). He’s been offered something seemingly sun dazzlingly wonderful, but he is happy with his Tyneside moonshine (… I was doing so well unless the last phrase).

Oh to be a fly on the wall!

? ?

It would be funny (for everyone else) though!

Jota looks a worthy replacement (lit&fig)

Shteevie classic!

Maybe. But inbetween times we’ve had Tripper, Almiron, Wilson and Lascelles with credible outgoing links. The current silence may be the same as the week before this flurry of speculation, but it seems deafening now.

Well this gives me Les Ferdinand vibes!

Well that was an exciting few days. But now… it has all gone ominously quiet.

Reassuring pic from training ? Worrying pic from training…

Alreet Sandro!

At this rate, might be a case of looking around after the smoke has cleared and seeing who we still have standing!

Bold choice!

Oh! But that glorious one half of football when all our newbies and shadowy sick notes are fit! Think of that ST, think of that.

Big Dan is the obvious leader.

Love the lad, and all his foibles. I’ll miss the joy he evidently plays the game with and his non-stop running. When he puts his head back when accelerating, like he’s dropping a gear, always makes me smile.

Hearing that interview, that he went to City from Blackburn aged 9-10, triggered a memory. There was a lad of about that age joined in with a City academy session when my son was there. Played in joggers and hoodie and normal trainers. Rang rings around everyone. One of the coaches said he was a couple of years older and moving over from Blackburn (I think, had remembered it as Burnley but easy mixed up). Age is right. Wonder if it was him?

I reckon he’ll be training with the first team squad. If so, it’ll be up to him (to some extent) whether we see him in the first team.

Black and white striped throw. ‘Twas a sign, a sign!

Three out? Any juicy new rumours on replacements?

Haaland?

Possibly, but to be fair having a good game against someone probably used to trigger a significant amount of transfers back in the day!
