FINALLY! Been clamming for a Ramos link all summer

Tino the Disney villain there

Fantastic stuff from Hall straight away

Classic Harvey goal! Love him

Gwan Popey!

Did the stadium announcer just say Schar's name after the shot followed by the crowd clapping? I love South Korea

I saw a couple of Norwegian manure customers had said he was a bullshitter when reading the Sesko thread on the manure forum fwiw

I think so too. If Hope is reporting this then it's likely he's getting briefed from someone on our end. If we're briefing about softening our stance on Isak then it must mean we have some confidence about getting his replacement in. Timing is just too coincidental for me to think otherwise.

If the bid was there a week ago why did he play in their friendly a week ago but miss this one

Simon Stone - Manure mouthpiece at the BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cx27pkd7074o "uncertainty hangs over the club's pursuit of RB Leipzig frontman Benjamin Sesko United sources had said on Friday their attempts to sign Sesko were continuing. However, subsequently, reports have emerged in the forward's native Slovenia stating the forward had chosen to join Newcastle. Neither club has commented officially on the latest reports. Yet, it is accepted even if Sesko did arrive in a move that would take the club's overall spend to about £200m, there will still be issues for Amorim to address, chief among them the goalkeeper." Sounds more pessimistic than yesterday, but probably just hedging his bets

And if that was "always the plan", why wait until Keith Downie has reported a bid to tell us?

The timing seems too coincidental for there not to be something those Slovenian reports, especially as the bid could have gone in yesterday (Ornstein said "last 24 hours").

He only knows about Newcastle-related stuff when it's being briefed by the cartel

Worth noting Leipzig have a friendly at 2 this afternoon. I'm assuming he misses it if this latest article is true (saying we've agreed a fee)

Would be quite funny and almost heart-warming if a Slovenian paper got the jump on all the big transfer "journalists" who've been milking the story

No doubt more of Mitchell's doing before he walked out
