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.

£1m-£500mn depending on which incompetent journalist you ask

Downie says we're 'pleased with the conclusion' so persumably we did get a decent fee.

Great month of potential transfers ahead of us then into pre-season. All this will all seem like ancient history by this time next month. By the time the next cycle comes around we will hopefully have learned our lesson, planned well ahead and have a competent DoF in place.

We'll have absolutely no bother getting these through. Apparently Lyon offered more for Minteh and Archie Gray who has never kicked a ball in the PL is about to go for more than Anderson. They'll be absolutely gutted in the PL head office tomorrow morning with how we've played this. Bet they were salivating at the prospect of spending the week putting together a case against us.

And we all know what they invented

People wilfully ignoring the context around the deal so they have something to be mad at. Baffling.

Nice. Hopefully means fee isn't above a few mil

Same level of sources that said we were getting £10m for Anderson

Aye, doubt we'd be that daft like. Forest probably just want him off their wage bill so they might even throw him in for free on the Anderson deal.

If it's a cheeky £5m to Forest for helping us with the Anderson fee and he's replacing Karius then crack on with this.

Forest fans don't seem to rate him but he appears to have been Benfica's starting keeper until last season. Can he really be that bad?

If it is Elanga he might come in as our versatile young forward signing rather than our main RW. Apparently he can play across the front 3.

What a fantastic piece of business Insane that people were gannin mad about £10m when the only person who'd reported that price is a Twitter ITK who also said that AC Milan want Longstaff.

At his age he really needs to be playing regularly, which he wont get the opportunity to do here. Good luck to the lad. Quite pleased we've managed to bridge our shortfall without doing those swap deals like the other clubs. Gives the cartel one less route to come at us from.

I notice Ryder has buried this line at the bottom of his article on Minteh being sold: "Newcastle are also in talks with a Saudi Pro League club to sell Callum Wilson if personal terms can be agreed." https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-set-sell-yankuba-29446303
