From the Ronny Gill: "The future of Newcastle United winger Miguel Almiron is set to come under the microscope over the next fortnight amid transfer interest in the Paraguay international. Chronicle Live understands the 30-year-old is in discussions with his agent Daniel Campos over his next steps, amid reported talks with an unnamed Saudi club." https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/key-fortnight-could-hand-newcastle-29488373

If memory serves he also broke the Lewis Hall story last summer. What on earth is going on with goalkeepers this window

Fofana would be great. Seem to remember him being linked to us last summer and we definitely like a contract situation we can take advantage of.

To make these stats even more impressive he was playing out of position for most of the season

Chiesa prioritising move abroad this summer according to Italian press.

Tidy sum that. Especially when the replacement is free

We manifested this I know NUFCBlog sometimes gets good info on youth players - reckon they're reliable on this?

Seems the Cobham builders aren't leaving Chelsea amicably. Imagine Mitchell is well aware of these lads.

I was saying how good it would be to get Rangnick yesterday. Turns out Rangnick was the man who hired him at RB and also was the one trying to bring him to Manure initially. Quite an endorsement to have.

Also quite promising is that he left Monaco of his own accord rather than being sacked. "Mitchell cited the feeling that he had fulfilled his mission at Monaco and the time spent away from his family as reasons for leaving the club." https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/4337105/2023/03/22/paul-mitchell-leaves-monaco/

Presumably got him for free inarl since he hasn't been at Monaco since October last year

Exactly, it's different kinds of sporting director for different points in our development - exactly how we should be approaching things.

His very impressive work history: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/paul-mitchell/profil/trainer/21212

Great appointment. The man who brought Son to Spurs and lobbied everyone to stick with him after a tough first season where many were calling him a flop.

Left of field choice but could be very exciting if it happens. Looks like he's had an expanded role at Chelsea lately beyond the academy.

Would love us to try and get Rangnick for this now that he's out of the Euros with Austria.

Arab News has a website 10x better looking than most news sites so I'm going to choose to believe this.

Would also expect us to have talked about it with him before shopping him around after allegedly not doing so in January (although who knows if that was true), so I'm assuming he has indicated he's willing to go for the right offer.

Got a year left on his contract and just had a good season at the top end of the Championship. Hopefully means we can get a couple of million at least.

Anyone else think we might sell Pope now and try to bring Mamardashvili in? Or am I ingesting too much hopeium

Honestly love this. Fantastic character with huge experience to have around for training and even chipping in with coaching.
