Well, Andy, Steve and the gang clocked off early for the Champions League draw and are having a cheeky Nando's so that's us done for the day. Obvs Saudi's don't work Friday's (arguably neither do Newcastle) and both sides definitely don't work weekends so it's an early start Monday for the 'transfer team'. And by 'early' I mean they may need to be working from 10, 11am tops. Good luck Andy, and great job so far. Uncle Eddie must be delighted the nepotism has paid off so well.
Craig hope Newcastle is closing in on the 23-year-old Stuttgart striker and Germany international, previously linked to Bayern Munich, a potential major coup.
Florian Plettenberg just tweeted that Nick Woltemade to Newcastle is a done deal for €85m fee plus €5 million in add-ons. Goes as far as to say that the player is now travelling to Newcastle and has already said goodbye to his teammates. Romano saying terms agreed with the player and close to agreement with club. Says 'here we go' will be soon.
Wow, that's a signing. If you asked me, of all the players we tried to get, Woltemade would have been above Sesko and Ekitike. That's the Isak replacement - assume we're still after JSL or similar?
