🔁 Well done to former Newcastle United midfielder Elliot Anderson, aka the Geordie Maradona, on scoring his first ever Premier League goal at the weekend.

Yankuba Minteh, who departed the club at the same time as Elliot, also scored for Brighton as they beat Manchester Reds at Old Trashford.

Well done boys!

On this day in NUFC history back in 1997, Alan Shearer, Ronaldo and George Weah won their FIFA World Player of the Year awards.

What would these be worth in todays market? 🤔

I've seen a few comments today writing Lloyd Kelly off after an iffy start on Tyneside. Look I get it, he's not set the world on fire and has been bullied out of it in the minutes he's played. However, it's worth remembering sometimes it takes time to 'come good.'

Look at the recent example of Lewis Hall - and he came good once he was fully integrated into the Newcastle United way and got his fitness right for the demands on our team.

£25m is a lot and I get the 'business case' but Lloyd has all the raw ingredients to be a great, young player and Eddie likes him. Should we not give him longer? 🤔

Lloyd Kelly has grown frustrated under Eddie Howe – and is now ready to leave Newcastle United, according to TBR Football.

He is supposedly unhappy that he has only made four Premier League starts this season following his arrival free transfer arrival a few months ago.

Graeme Bailey believes a deal is possible, with the Magpies understood to be open to bids no less than £25m

⛔ Newcastle United are NOT likely to sign anyone this month, regardless of what happens with Lloyd Kelly and Miggy Almiron, according to Luke Edwards.

Surely a huge risk by the management with us in the race for European qualification but with others breathing down our neck?

We're not exactly splashing any cash these days and it feels a little deflating.

The maths is strange too. We had budget spare last summer to chase big signings and have since reported a £23m profit as a club. So if we sell Miggy and Kelly say for approximately £25/35m in total surely we could bring in a signing? Heck even a loan!?

Paul Mitchell was appointed as the sporting director of Newcastle United on July 4, 2024 and it feels a little flat on recruitment since his arrival and involvement.

The optics of this all just doesn't look good!

🇮🇹 Newcastle United have rejected a verbal 'loan to buy' offer from Juventus for defender Lloyd Kelly, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Juventus remain interested and hope to advance the deal for fee around €15m.

I think we'd sell at that considering his game time as it's 'good business'

Took a little bit of time to reflect on yesterday. I think we've just got to forget about it and move on to the next one in all honesty! It was just one of them games.

Our December form has put us back in the European contention. Yesterday we come up against a brilliant Bournemouth side. And sometimes you just have to say the better team won on the day. So credit to them.

I think they're in European contention also! Best away side I've seen this season at St James Park by some margin.

We've still a lot to play for, but we must bounce back from what was a really shocking performance from us. Onwards!

HWTL! ⚫⚪⚫⚪
