Market

Newcastle United spend $18.0M to raise the standard

This is not cover and nobody is pretending it is. $18.0M has been paid because Petar Musa is straightforwardly better than what was already here, and the club has decided to stop waiting.

Player ratings

Both of them Petar Musa's — 8.30

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.30, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Matthew Targett puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Newcastle United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Petar Musa gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Petar Musa has just signed for Newcastle United, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Tempers go at Newcastle United

Nick Woltemade was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Words at Newcastle United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Bruno Guimarães is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

Milton Keynes Dons watching William Osula

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Newcastle United have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Joelinton

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Newcastle United and Burnley take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Market

Nick Woltemade wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Newcastle United hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad

A move Jemiah Umolu would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Jemiah Umolu is living that version at Newcastle United, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Joelinton signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Joelinton commits to Newcastle United for another 5 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Newcastle United

Joelinton was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Bruno Guimarães falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

The clock runs on Jacob Murphy's contract

36 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Market

Joelinton raises the bar for Newcastle United

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Newcastle United heard it as anything else.

Squad

Nick Pope signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Nick Pope commits to Newcastle United for another 2 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Newcastle United

Nick Woltemade was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Words at Newcastle United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Bruno Guimarães is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

24 months and counting on Nick Pope

Still no offer on the table, and Nick Pope’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Market

Matthew Targett told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Matthew Targett has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Newcastle United.
