Transfer targets

The window shuts on the Adilson Malanda deal

Newcastle United ran out of time with Middlesbrough. The paperwork was open when the deadline passed, and a transfer that was almost done is now a transfer that never happened.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Odysseas Vlachodimos

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Loan watch

Lukáš Horníček’s loan is measured in nothing happening

18 clean sheets from 34 appearances at Middlesbrough. That is the whole of a goalkeeper’s job done properly, and it is being done a long way from the club that owns him.

The terraces

Newcastle United supporters have found a favourite in Nico Paz

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Nico Paz has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

A bad afternoon for Newcastle United against Sunderland

0‑2 to Sunderland, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Match

Nico Paz the difference as Newcastle United beat West Ham United

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Nico Paz. 2‑0 against West Ham United, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Market

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Samuel Hamilton is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Newcastle United promote Steven Phillips from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Steven Phillips has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
