Bunk Moreland

Speaks very well and clearly knows the challenges he faces here and has the know-how to address them. Seems like a fantastic appointment on every front and let's hope we start reaping the benefits quickly.

Apparently he just made a twitter account and it's his first kind of social media account ever. Interesting timing... https://x.com/MarcGuehi13

Newcastle United have added Theo Benjamin to their youth ranks following an impressive trial period, with Charlton talent Lesecond Yeutembip also sealing a move to the North East. Theo is the son of former Leicester, Brighton and Crystal Palace forward Trevor Benjamin and has signed a two-year deal on Tyneside, becoming the latest addition to our U15s alongside Yeutembip; who previously captained youth side Barking & Dagenham. Yeutembip is a 14-year-old centre-back who comes from Charlton’s highly-regarded Academy. The rangy defender has traveled with the U15s to Japan this week and featured in a defeat to a J-League youth side in Tokyo today. https://www.nufcblog.co.uk/2024/08/02/exclusive-newcastle-sign-son-of-former-leicester-striker-after-impressive-trial/

Word is we offered Ryan Fraser to Palace as part of the deal and they increased the price from £65m to £165m

Liverpool not being in the race feels pretty significant as they were potentially the biggest realistic threat

I was honestly expecting them to be quoting £80m+

Always going to be the case when you're trying to punch above your weight and show ambition in the transfer market. Just got to embrace it and enjoy the ride

Brexit Eddie strikes again, going after another English player. Disgusting. Thought Mitchell was meant to stop this malarky

Think it was only the other day

Reckon he's ballpark right about that price, but would be very surprised if we've let them have a sell-on tbh

Yeah, don't know why people rag on Nixon. He broke this, Lewis Hall last summer and was first on Trafford I think? (which obv didn't happen but turned out we did have intent there).

30 goal season by 2026-7. You read it here first.

If Mitchell and our existing scouting structure want him then I'd be very happy with the transfer. Luckily our scouts and sporting director work on a bit more of a sophisticated basis than looking at his goals/games ratio on Wikipedia.

£25m + bonuses sounds cheap for him like

Sir Nicholas of Pope

Aye, same. Not sure there'd be any value in sending him on loan as at his age he shouldn't be playing that many games anyway. Get him working with Eddie and the first team and let him play for the youth teams when he needs minutes, then bring him cautiously into the first team when he's ready.
