Joan García, heading to Newcastle?: "Everything is very well organised," warns Ángel García Ángel García points to Newcastle as Joan García's destination: the Premier League, closer and closer for the Espanyol goalkeeper. This Friday, La Grada Ràdio has had a weighty voice to address one of the issues that most worry Spanishism: the future of Joan García. The journalist Ángel García, known on networks as Cazurreando, a national reference in market information and known for his very high level of accuracy, has intervened in the program to talk about Newcastle's interest in the blue-and-white goalkeeper, advanced by himself yesterday. According to the information he has shared, the English club would be willing to pay Joan's full termination clause, set at 25 million euros. A decisive step that would place Newcastle as the main candidate to get the services of the Catalan goalkeeper, despite the fact that his name has also been linked to other great European clubs, such as FC Barcelona or Arsenal. The relevant thing in this case is the source. Ángel García is not just any journalist. Its history of advancing market operations, both in First and lower categories, is broad and contrasted. It is usually one step ahead of the rest, and its information is based on direct contacts with environments very close to the movements that end up being materialised. Joan García, who has been one of the pillars of Espanyol this season, accumulates high-level performances and has shown that he is ready to make the leap to a context of maximum demand. The Premier, by style of play and physical demand, would fit perfectly with his qualities: safety under sticks, personality, good handling with the feet and leadership capacity in key moments. "The information that comes to me is quite reliable by the source, if not, I wouldn't get so wet," he made it clear in La Grada Ràdio, aware of the impact of talking about a Primera player and not about his usual habitat. "I don't know if it's signed or pending signature, but everything is very well organised," he added. Ángel explained that he has been in contact with people who manage direct information from the Premier League, and "no matter how much they talked about Arsenal and the Top 6, they told me that there he was not going to sign as a starter." And with a clear phrase he positioned himself: "You go to Newcastle on an equal footing with other goalkeepers, not like in other Top 6 clubs where you started with the vitola of being a substitute." Among the options that have sounded was also the Aston Villa, "if he let out the Dibu," but it was Newcastle who took advantage. Even with PSG peeking at the last moment, according to the journalist: "I have asked people close to Joan himself and they told me that, despite PSG's intrusion, I was going to go to England. And after consulting it I got wet with that authority.” Ángel García also made clear the reason for his prudence before launching the exclusive: "Schetting up in lower categories, where I consider myself a specialist, does not have as much impact as talking about Primera. That's why I went crazy by contrasting before." About the Espanyol market, it was just as clear. He believes that Fran Garagarza is preparing two scenarios, in case the team achieves permanence or if relegation is consummated: "They have looked for players who can adapt to both contexts. Yesterday César Gelabert left, but he is not going to go in a First Division context." In his analysis, he also left brushstrokes of what he is seeing in the market: "Salinas seems to me a total cucumber." And he added a reflection that is already a classic of modern football: "The economic situation mediatizes the market a lot." About the names that the club handles, he also got wet: "I took out the name of Raba a few weeks ago because they like it, but after the season he has done he will demand a fairly majete contract." In summary: Joan García is very close to leaving, and according to Ángel García, he would go to Newcastle and for a significant amount. And in the meantime, Espanyol silently works a market conditioned by its sporting destination and economic limitations.

So glad we’ve beat them

Dyche is becoming very Allardyce “I could manage Real or Inter and would win the double every year” like

Has to be some kind of other realm god. His powers unimaginable to mere mortals like us.

Goal for Charlton

Well, that’s the first name of the summer not a single one of our illustrious journalists had a clue about

Why are they all bent over forwards?

Yeah either of these come up and they’re getting wrecked. Not a single piece of footballing iq between them, the game’s just utter pinball.

Chertle

Is away goals rule in play?

Just burst out laughing

Played 45 mins v a Celtic B team today

Yeah sorry but every top six side would have Pope

Just the Italian press thirsting for Tonali and using Vlahovic as bait, thinking we’re not worthy of such a player and that “he’s Italian so must hate Newcastle and dream of returning home asap because he was forced here against his will”. They’re like the ex who thinks you still want them back and you never actually even think about them. Their world is one where Botman and Sandro wouldn't even spit on us but in reality Sandy’s agent said he imagines Sandro’s future being “far away from Serie A” and Botman wanting to sign a new deal here.

Pope Krafth / Botman (nee idea) Schar Burn Murphy Tonali Bruno Livramento Barnes Gordon Isak 2-0 win - Arsenal haven’t scored v us in three games and honestly barely had a shot. They’re without Merino and potentially Rice and Trossard too. They find it almost impossible to break us down and can’t handle us on the transition. Added to this that their season has imploded in the last 10 days and them questioning the Arteta project. A routine 2-0 win.

People just haven’t got used to having/needing a squad because we’ve never been so competitive and on so many fronts. They think that the second someone isn’t first team every week then they’re not good enough and need to be sold.

Wonder if we can get Amad here.

Was just thinking that if we win our next two and Liverpool lost their next two, we’d only finish 12 points off the title. Getting closer.
