Won't happen BUT... James Trafford to #nufc on loan may suit all parties short term

✅Trafford gets full season as No 1
✅NUFC get GK they want for a season w/o £45m+ spend
✅ Trafford at NUFC could take vital pts off #MCFC title rivals in big games but can't hurt City directly

[NUFCFans @nufcfans]

If this is true... can anyone explain why we spent £20m+ on a young lad who may only be backup goalkeeper next season?

If we have no money like reports suggest, even after selling Anthony Gordon for what we did... you have to question the logic from #NUFC

Eddie Howe is working with the smallest summer transfer kitty he's had at his disposal since taking over as manager - unless the club sells more of its stars.

[@lee_ryder] #NUFC

[NUFCFans @nufcfans]

Of course…

“Top 6” all smelling blood here. #NUFC need to be sending Bruno that big bumper new contract ASAP

[The Chronicle @ChronicleNUFC]

Liverpool hold talks with Bruno's representatives as fresh bid for NUFC star set to land

[NUFCFans @nufcfans]

Craig Hope saying Arsenal will soon go back in with an improved offer for Bruno Guimares.

He insists #NUFC stance is NOT FOR SALE.

One thing that feels important is Bruno's only got 2 years left on his contract. We must present him a generous deal soon to secure his future.

[NUFCFans @nufcfans]

Both Keith Downie and Craig Hope reporting this at the same time. Presumably fed by same club source to deflect from the Tonali/Bruno exit talk.

The line about Eddie Howe wanting him in 2023 is interesting though. Maybe Howe pushes him as Tonali's replacement if he leaves #NUFC

[Keith Downie @SkySports_Keith]

🚨 Newcastle are considering a move for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha.
🟡 Eddie Howe is a big fan of the German international, and came close to signing him in the summer of 2023 — but instead opted for Sandro Tonali.
💴 Nmecha has a €85m (£73.5m) buy-out in his Dortmund contract, that runs
til 2030.
🤨 Newcastle would be looking to pay less than that given their model, so unless Dortmund renegotiate the clause, it would be a difficult deal to do.
⚫️ The 25-year-old’s first Dortmund goal was a winner against Newcastle in The Champions League in 2023.

#NUFC rejected £55m approach from Arsenal for Bruno Guimaraes @FabrizioRomano

More than any other window, Bruno feels priceless right now. We won't accept his departure.

Isak sale set us back as a club 2 years... Bruno sale would see us relegated.

NOT FOR SALE AT ANY PRICE

[NUFCFans @nufcfans]

How many times did Anthony Elanga get in that position for #NUFC last season and either trip over his own feet, run the ball out of play or fire a cross to absolutely nowhere?

The 2026 World Cup version of Anthony Elanga actually looks like he has something about him!

[ITV Football @itvfootball]

Look at THAT curl

Anthony Elanga put Sweden back on terms in a crucial final group stage match against Japan and what a way to do it 😲

[NUFCFans @nufcfans]

Just can't see #MCFC spending £90m+ on Sandro Tonali now they have sealed Elliot Anderson. Maybe I'm wrong... but do they really spend £220m on them both?

#NUFC

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🔵 BREAKING: Elliot Anderson to Manchester City, here we go! Deal in place between the clubs, fee up to £130m.

#MCFC sources confirm agreement now done after talks at final stages as reported last week.

Anderson asked Forest today to go and leave the club. Medical in the US.

[NUFCFans @nufcfans]

@LukeEdwardsTele tonight - "I also don’t think Tonali really wants to go to Spurs. I’m told he would prefer Manchester City or Arsenal"

Meanwhile at Sky Sports...

These leaks outside of the local journos are so obviously agent driven. Just a reminder they net 10% of the sale

[Sky Sports News @SkySportsNews]

Sandro Tonali is believed to be ready to sign for Tottenham if they can agree a deal with Newcastle ⚪️

Sky Sports News has been told the midfielder is keen to play for Roberto de Zerbi and a contract worth more than £275,000 per week would be ready and waiting for him to sign.

[Keith Downie @SkySports_Keith]

Understand Newcastle have had no contact over their captain & they’re aware of the importance of keeping him & how it would look if he left.
That doesn’t mean there’s no interest him (I’d be surprised if there wasn’t) but that’s where we are from #NUFC perspective.

[NUFCFans @nufcfans]

You’d put the asking price up a further 5% just out of principal for doing this wouldn’t you?!

💰 Spurs did NOT improve on initial offer, but asked NUFC to reconsider. Swiftly knocked back

[NUFCFans @nufcfans]

Easy story to write... Bruno impresses for Brazil... next day he's linked to Arsenal.

That's all this is. Right?

Or are we heading into a summer where our prized assets believe they are on the Titanic and it's time to jump ship before the whole thing sinks?

[Connor @ConnorLinsdell9]

One of the only reasons #NUFC weren’t in a relegation dogfight last season was because of Bruno Guimaraes.

He showed why last night, what a player.

World class. Offer him whatever he wants. #NUFC

[NUFCFans @nufcfans]

@FabrizioRomano has obviously just forgotten that Martin Dubravka played for #NUFC over 170 times in 7 years.

Definitely not something he's done on purpose...

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨 Martin Dubravka to Tottenham, here we go! Deal agreed for former Burnley and Man United goalkeeper to join #THFC.

Move completed today with Dubravka set to be backup GK at Spurs behind Kinski. 🔃🇸🇰

Guglielmo Vicario to leave this summer.

[NUFCFans @nufcfans]

@MikeJNUFC surely you can just have a 4th official do the job of the other end?

they blow the whistle and then for the most part anything that happens that needs judging after that is VAR handled

[NUFCFans @nufcfans]

I have never understood why both teams can't take their penalties towards their respective fans?

They have two goals... plenty of officials... two goalkeepers obviously and the distance from centre is the same.

Doesn't everyone benefit and no loses?

Fifa wants to change the rules on penalty shoot-outs before the knockout rounds start at this World Cup so that a team either choose to take the first spot kick or to do it in front of their own fans

Absolute eyesore of a kit... no improvement with the sponsor.

Looks like a shirt made to light up during a night time five-a-side or baller league style tournament

[Luke Edwards @LukeEdwardsTele]

@FabrizioRomano You don’t speak to anyone at #nufc because they know what you do. If you did speak to anyone you would have avoided this. Must have missed his unveiling, think he went to Brighton! You do you. I’ll stay in my lane big man x

[NUFCFans @nufcfans]

✅Lewis Miley to start 80%+ of our Premier League games. His time to become the next Steven Gerrard is now
✅ Bring back the shithousery. Play smarter. Don't let teams walk over us
✅No more dressing room victory photos. We expect to win as routine
✅DO NOT LOSE THE DERBY

[NUFCFans @nufcfans]

Rewatching The Bear ahead of Season 4 got me thinking about what should be Eddie Howe’s nonnegotiables next season

A rigid set of principles #NUFC must live by in 26/27…

✅Play players in natural positions
✅Evolve tactics from intensity/chaos to controlling games (1/3)..

[NUFCFans @nufcfans]

✅Have Plan B, C, D... don’t wait until we concede to change
✅Improve quality of squad depth. We need to be more than a few outstanding players & runners
✅BE READY. Imagine transfer window ends before 1st game vs Liverpool
✅Do not start with Osula as our main striker
(2/3)..
