There seems to be a real shortage of good right sided forwards available this window, not sure there’s anyone who jumps out at this stage, really needs the scouting network to earn their coin and unearth somebody from the continent we can develop.

There is a danger if we don’t get a new stadium built before the Mancs, can easily see them saying any costs to build a new stadium has to be included for PSR once we announce plans, clearly won’t happen whilst they need huge stadium redevelopment, but wait to long and they’ll pull this drawbridge up.

European trip for these lads today buzzing their tits off.

I think they’ve got a very good manager could be a threat this season.

We could stay at St James while we create the Leazes stadium park and then bulldoze it to create a green area. Already e mailed the club with my renderings expect it to be considered in the feasibility study, game changer was the initial feedback.

Need to realise who there fucking dealing with these days pricks.

Kulusevski would be very underwhelming, injury prone and massively overrated, worst of all putting money in Spurs pockets no thanks.

Just another reason to move to something purpose built and not land locked.

I think anything over 55 is getting a bit daft and better value to be had abroad.

Must be a reason why we don’t rate him but at face value looks a good signing.

Would love to have seen us go for Ederson, or the lad from Celtic definitely lacking quality in depth when we play with 3 in there.

Great signing for the scousers at 50 million if it comes off unfortunately.

It’s sort of the same thing really they’re claiming 40 million in allowances and the PL appear to have ratified it. Didn’t Everton claim huge covid costs but they were deemed to be excessive, the claim here is that nobody has ever been allowed to claim over 1 million which is some gap by any stretch.

Just the scouse media in full throttle to unsettle him, I’d me more worried about Man City offering us stupid money for him.

No other club given close to 40 million and we’ve been forced to sell 2 top prospects to comply, should be an emergency meeting requested from every club to explain this allowance.

Corrupt as fuck other clubs should be up in arms.

We need the right sided player to be a bit different and have a bit guile, all in on this lad we don’t need anymore speed merchants, we need some technically gifted players who can create and look after the ball better.

He also mentioned Gruda which then Will jumped on, though he claims he hasn’t listened to the podcast yet.

Anything to piss off Edwards - Newcastle close to signing Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace in £60m deal Exclusive: Transfer talks have not yet concluded but the move for England international is on course to be confirmed before the weekend Luke Edwards, Northern Football Writer5 August 2024 • 6:09pm Newcastle United are close to finalising a deal to sign England international Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace for a fee well in excess of £60 million. Talks between the two clubs have progressed well over the last few days and there is confidence on both sides that an agreement will be reached. Newcastle have not baulked at the asking price quoted by the London club and personal terms will also not be a problem. The signing would be a huge coup for Newcastle given how high Guehi’s stock has risen following an excellent European Championship campaign. He could well cement his place as one of England’s two first choice centre backs building up to the World Cup in 2026. Newcastle have not signed an established England international since they landed Kieran Trippier back in 2022, but he was entering the twilight of his career when he arrived from Atletico Madrid whereas Guehi’s best years are ahead of him. The 24-year-old had already proven himself to be one of the best centre backs in the Premier League but his game was elevated to another level during the Euros when he was arguably England’s most consistent player. Telegraph Sport understands that while the transfer talks have not yet concluded the move is on course to be confirmed before the weekend. Newcastle had made the signing of another centre back one of their top priorities this summer and to land a player as well regarded as Guehi is further evidence of the club’s growth since the takeover by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund in October 2021. Crucially, Guehi is said to be very keen on the move and has urged his representatives to make the deal happen. Until the contracts are signed there is always a risk of a rival bid coming in but as things stand, it looks like Guehi will be swapping south east London for the north east of England His departure would be a huge blow to Palace but the club are also willing to listen to the player’s wishes and the fee is a large one for a defender in a largely depressed summer market. It remains to be seen whether Newcastle still have the funds to address their other major need in this window which is a right-sided forward. It could be that the Magpies have to wait to see if there are any outgoings before moving for one of their right wing targets later in the window. The Guehi transfer has been the main focus for the last week and it will be a real statement of intent if sporting director Paul Mitchell can complete it.

Flight and a guaranteed ticket for the match twice a month should boost sales, sure DFDS had access to tickets for a while under the fat cunt.

Wouldn’t reflect very well on Staveley and Ashworth if they’ve fucked up with the contract and left us with no option but to sell him at this point.

Possibly would seem a big gap in experience to the like of Guehi though for it to be him.

Good to know where covering all bases as have a feeling Palace will be difficult sellers. Would be very happy with an alternative such as the Leverkusen CB, Diomande, or even take a punt on Silva when his stock has fallen.

Intriguingly, other defensive targets exist. iunderstands there have been talks on another centre-back in the last week and they could be running parallel with the Guehi negotiations. They retain interest in Malick Thiaw of Milan and while Guehi feels like the ultimate prize, don’t rule out a surprise target emerging https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/newcastle-transfers-guehi-gordon-osula-3208669

Far as I’m aware the City Group own it alongside an American music group, the new arena has definitely ground to a halt due to soaring costs, could be a great opportunity for PIF to step in.
