https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-target-hungarian-van-dijk-24230721 Newcastle United may have already found their perfect Sven Botman alternative in the shape of Attila Szalai, nicknamed the 'Hungarian van Dijk'. The 24-year-old Fenerbahce man helped the Magyars keep two clean sheets against England during the last 11 days and has attracted attention in the past.

⚫⚪ After signing Bruno Guimarães, Newcastle have their eyes on another Brazilian. This is striker Ângelo, from Santos. ?? The 17-year-old has a contract with Santos until 2024 and is seen as one of Santos' main jewels. ? [ @geglobo ]

Right on cue an alternative LCB gets linked: https://www.claretandhugh.info/aguerd-shock-hits-the-hammers/

I think a decade is fair. Adam looks like he could be your dad.

“He lives in house, he talks like a Scouse, Danny Guthrie; in the middle or the right, in the black and white, Danny Guthrie…” Any excuse to reel off a bit of Blur, although we’ll have to change the lyrics, I can’t get ‘Damac Towers apartment’ to scan into the current version.

I still think they’ll end up with Darlow. Wonder if we’ll do JDT any favours now he’s the gaffer at Blackburn.

Bluddy forrens.

Ah, the joys of strangling your own domestic market like a Bayern-coloured boa constrictor. 11 Bundesligas in a row next season? Edit: Didn’t realise he’s signed for Dortmund not the usual Bayern. Which Bundesliga defenders are Bayern pinching or have they resigned Sule?

The absolute xG deviants.

Mandy and Mehrdad spotted rummaging through Sven’s black bin bags and recycling @ Casa Del Botman.

His rationale is sound, I like the way he describes Lille as slags. Seems confident on Ekitike too.

The Living Daylights knocks the spots off anything that the Tubby Tottenham songstress has done.

Burnsie and Casey flapping about like a pair of haddock on a trawler deck at the lack of fodder for their guesswork.

Makes sense - the likes of Hickey, Tierney, Robertson all showing they’re capable of cutting it in top leagues. Let’s see if the next crop like Ramsey, Wilson, McArthur can do the same.

Southgate’s days were numbered when he appeared on that One Night with Adele shit on ITV. Anyone with music taste that bad shouldn’t be England manager.

When was the last time the Mirror broke a transfer exclusive? Bird basically does pressers and match reports and fuck all else.

Hope and Caulkin have strong links into the club, so tend to have a bit more credibility in my eyes. Douglas has diminished now he’s working the whole Northern football beat. Insightful stuff on deal structure, mechanics etc once the story is out but not the one breaking the story.

Offset against season ticket sales like the Leazes & Milburn L7 extensions.

Graeme Bailey’s latest update on 90mins says the deal “will be FFP friendly” as NUFC have a lot of business to do this summer. No idea whether that is 5 years of instalments or loan to buy with permanent deal guaranteed.
