Most of the Alan Partridge content is incredible, but Mid Morning Matters is numero one.

Yeah, I thought the same tbh. Is the club ok with them teasing the fans and potentially letting info slip? No idea but I do think they’re genuine.

It’s good to see them involved though, appreciate all their efforts and they’ve only helped and improved matters such as the atmosphere at VP. Think they had a hard time in the past and weren’t made to feel very welcome (rejected or sidelined by the club in the past), still get unnecessary and unwarranted criticism and jibes from a few dumbass “fans” but glad to see them ignore that shite. That video was exceptional  

I find these teases annoying though I’d prefer some more clarity

I’m guessing the owl one was OW11 - Watkins new contract.

And yeah, this line of poetry in reference to Kudus.

Could be way off though

 

Maybe it was 'compensation' for the kit launch video going to shit?

If you go to the original tweet, it doesn’t specifically say that we’re paying the release clause, just says that we’re interested, and then mentions the release clause in the next bullet point. 
 

Informs @pedro_morata 

He @AVFCOfficial goes all out for @pauttorres to reinforce his defense

He has a termination clause of 65 million euros and his contract ends next season

Straight outta Jerusalem this one…

€40m plus the guarantee of a testimonial. 

Along with this ‘cryptic’ tweet from Project B6. Weird they’ve now started being ITK. They obviously know people at the club, but it’s odd that they’re being allowed to leak some information, if it’s genuine! It would be weird for them to be making stuff up though, it’s not your usual attention seeking account. 

It’d be great if only for the Ghana Villans. 

Assuming he means us. Anyway, interesting link. 
 

Osasuna banned, Bilbao will now come in. This doesn’t affect our seeding. 

Yeah, Juventus don’t want to be in this competition (similar to Spurs), and this would be a ‘fair’ compromise all round. They were looking likely to get a 3 year ban, but promising to leave the Super League and accepting missing out on just this 1 year seems to be a good result for UEFA, as it just leaves Barca and Real Madrid left.

Fiorentina would be below us then?

I'm not sure I follow the logic of it being a hint anyway. They are there, they're just in the wrong place, showing in QR2 page. 

Our helpful friend explains all. 

I rate Adams, he’s a good player, and by far Leeds’ best, and for £20m I think it would be a good signing. 
 

An interesting aspect to it is that he can also play as a right back, so could be used as an alternative option for the 3-box-3 formation, whereby he’d go in to the midfield, a left back would become a left sided centre back (either Mings or maybe Torres), and we’d play with a more orthodox left winger. 
 

Or he could just be backup to Kamara. Either way, I’ve seen us linked with far worse.

Would expect a decision on this one way or the other very soon. Original talk was 2-3 years ban, however Juventus recently agreed to leave the Super League, so I’ve a feeling they did that and negotiated a one year ban. If this happens, we would be seeded. 

I’m undecided about whether we should keep him or not, last season was disappointing. 
 

However, the issue about selling him is obviously this 50% sell on fee to Barcelona. So, would anything stop us loaning him out for a two year deal for a total of £8.5m loan fee, with an obligation to buy for a smaller fee? The 50% only relates to transfer fees and not loan fees I think. It’s completely not in the spirit of things, but could be an option. 
 

He was really good in the loan for us, so I am still hopeful he can recapture that form for us, however just doing some creative accounting.

Just place a big accumulator on it. Make some money

That’s a great idea. I’d happily put £10 on an accumulator for that. Win win. 

A player that seems to be available for around £20m, in a position we desperately need, has scored 58 and assisted 38 in his previous four league campaigns. Has won the Euros, too. I give you Domenico Berardi. He also has the benefit of turning 29 this summer, so he’s the right age too.

There have been no links to this guy, this is merely a suggestion of who I think would be a good signing!
 

Apologies for linking this newspaper, but needs must: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-11085283/Newcastles-Saudi-owners-major-investors-Chelseas-new-majority-shareholder.html

And we wonder why Saudi Arabian clubs suddenly have a big interest in buying Chelsea players?

Not this Brennan Johnson chat again. Christ, I wouldn’t pay £15m for him. Absolutely bang average, but has scored a few so people claim he’s decent. We need to be, and will be aiming much higher this summer.

Romano says it’s done.

All done as per this guy.

Surely a lot depends on Tyrone’s contract situation.  

He signed a new contract a few months ago. 

As it’s a release clause it’ll be have to be paid in full at point of transfer. 

I will be absolutely gobsmacked if Barella a) leaves Inter (he’s seen as “untouchable” and has three years left in his deal b) would go for just £50m (less than the asking price for Onana) and c) would go to Newcastle if he did leave. 
 

I really hope it doesn’t happen. That Luke Edwards for the Telegraph is far more of a speculator than the other journalists for the Telegraph. 

The Dybala clause is low as it was the only way they could get him to sign last summer. It's €12m for foreign clubs and €20m for Serie A clubs. If he doesn't move, his wage goes up dramatically.

He'd be an excellent signing, obviously. Has injury problems, and is probably only fit for about 75% of a season, but he's top quality.

Beaten to it! Purslow gone!
