James Trafford: NUFC in talks with Burnley over £30m transfer (SkySports)

[Stifler]

It’s 1 of SSN’s breaking but not actually breaking news.

By the sounds of it, they are just going to run this story for a few weeks now.

[Ikon]

Hall, Livramento, Trafford. Not a bad trio age wise. Still not 100% convinced by Trafford but I’m sure he’ll be much more mature now and his potential ceiling is high. Happy with this if it happens.

Stifler, the lads are clamming for a bit of genuine transfer gossip and something to get just remotely excited over. Can you not piss on everyones chips please?

[The Butcher]

Reckon Trafford will be a fantastic signing.

WELCOME TO NEWCASTLE JAMES TRAFFORD

Mildly surprised it's finally happening. I'll expect elanga, guehi and tranquillo barnetta to follow.

Looking forward to quick balls to the fullbacks.

Straight in ahead of pope? 

[JP]

Most important thing for me, sounds like a signing that really wants to be here judging by comments last week.

 

Exciting one!

Eddie will bed him in over the next 42-48 months

Nearly wrote the same 😂

Juicy extra dimensions to our balls out from the back!

Once he does get in ahead of Pope we can expect medical emergencies in the East Stand to drop by at least 50%.

 The 'get rid of it!' quota will be met by mid August man.

You’d suspect if we do sign him the benefit is there is more chance of retaining him for a decade. Other GK’s mentioned probably more at risk to be tempted away/back home etc.

 

Put this lad behind a good back 4/5 and he’ll do a great job IMO. Very good fit all round. 

[Ikon]

“Expect him to compete with Pope”. Nah, he will be number one mainly because of better feet. It’s good to say that though because if anyone’s interested in Pope then pay up what we would want. 

[Pilko]

Be great to get this sorted, we've clearly wanted him for a while and it's another one of those signings where if we've got it right, which I'm confident we will have, he could have that position nailed down for us for the next 5-10 years.

[Yorkie]

Love Popey but we need to upgrade if we're gonna kick on. Assuming Trafford does that I'm very happy.

It's never excited me, but I have a feeling it's one of those where it will look better every game next season. A bit like Pope really.

 

It will be interesting to see how much impact his ability to play the ball out will have on our game. It might be something we don't appreciate until we see it in action.
