Newcastle have made significant progress in their pursuit of Lukas Hornicek. Player very keen & deal could be completed quickly to release clause. Newcastle had also looked into Lucas Chevalier but preference has been Hornicek, Howe wants player before trip to Spain.

Aladji Bamba, 20, travelling to Newcastle ahead of 5 year deal from Monaco for £32m + bonuses.
Player has predominantly featured as a 6 but can play more advanced too. Seen as more of Tonali replacement though is raw and will require time to adapt.

Fabian Schar has been in discussions for a 1yr extension on reduced terms. Newcastle have large summer recruitment plans with SCR budgets to consider, and see retaining Schar gives room for larger rebuild, before replacing next summer. #nufc

It’s really time to call out @tfNUFC . @tfalex1892 never joined in with one song, spent most of the first half messaging on his phone. Waiting on that mistake to criticise on his P’cast. Disappeared before Barnes scored the third.These people aren’t fans, all about an audience

If this manager were available, the Howe Out folks would be dying to bring him in…
- Spent 4 1/2 years at last club
- Qualified for the CL twice - 1st time in 20 years
- First ever knockout stages of CL for club
- Two cup finals - First in 25 years
- Ended 56-year trophy drought
- 4th highest in league points since taking over
- Club went numerous windows without improving the team
- 49% win percentage
- Finished 11th, 4th (highest in 20 years), 7th, and 5th
- Took over club in relegation place and helped them become the first club in history to avoid relegation after not winning any of their first 14 games (previous manager’s run)
- Finished 14th and was sacked
But this is Eddie Howe’s time at Newcastle, so they desperately want him sacked.

Really good from @TheAthleticFC PL goals conceded from mistakes.
Take 1. If De Zerbi fixes this, #Spurs will be fine.
Take 2. Mistakes have hurt Newcastle more than anything Howe has or hasn’t done. Even with just 13 mistakes ( league average) they’d be pushing for top 5.

Successful teams always have stability. We need that above Eddie, then we can do things properly. He was doing 3 people's jobs on top of everything else going on in the summer. He needs backed 100% he is the man that fits perfectly, has from day one.

Eddie Howe is doing a remarkable job at Newcastle United, given injuries (seven regulars atm), new players settling in (some with no pre-season), the distracting Isak saga, more games, PSR, wage restrictions, turnover of executives and losing the support of the popular Amanda Staveley, such an important link between dressing-room and boardroom.
Howe doesn’t complain. He just gets on with overcoming difficulties and adversities. He needs - and deserves - more support from upstairs.
Newcastle fans understandably have raised expectations because of wealthy owners. Expectations also raised by Howe himself with 2x CL qualification and a first domestic trophy in 70 years. Newcastle are in the knock-out stage of the CL, fourth round of the FA Cup, three points off seventh in the Premier League. Newcastle’s many clear-eyed fans have seen worse. #NUFC

Newcastle have open dialogue with Club Brugge over potential deal, #nufc like Seys versatility, player also keen, but there are other options being explored too deal must be right.
Newcastle scouting a number of Club Brugge players but it’s Joaquin Seys who they are most likely to follow up on, highly capable at both RB & LB, the 20 yo Belgian international could offer the additional competition at full back. #nufc

Same bloke playing a different tune though for his own club! Hypocritical or what!? 🤔🤣

Dialogue has re-opened between Palace and #nufc for Guehi. Liverpool & Man Utd’s interest has waned and Palace have instigated discussions, plausible deal at £35-40m. Player keen, nufc don’t want bidding war so set aggressive deadlines or move on. Palace to revert…
Guehi deal likely to be resurrected later in window, #nufc & player already agreed & player had heart set on move last summer. Newcastle not advancing due to price Palace want £45m despite a year left. Nufc believe £30-35m will be enough but don’t want to start bidding war early.

RBL are very close to finalising a €30m agreement for Brazilian 6ft 4 Striker Rômulo Cardoso from Göztepe. A player with an extremely similar profile to a certain Benjamin Šeško 👀 #nufc
