This is a nightmare that we just can’t awake from. How many players are going to reject us over teams who finished bottom half of table? If these elite players are rejecting us we need to start shopping one rung down to fill numbers we desperately need. That call needs to be made now! #NUFC

Lucy Bronze: Lioness defender played entire Euro 2025 tournament with fractured tibia England defender Lucy Bronze's middle name is Tough, which perfectly encapsulates her Euro 2025 performances as the defender tells BBC Sport she played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia.

😲 Well suppose that’s why she has “Tough” as a middle name. 👏🏼👏🏼 #England #Lionesses #EuroFinal #ENGSPA

… and the ridiculous #PSR which has forced us into this mess. Ownership should realise that we can’t attract top tier targets yet and focus on tier just below to bolster our numbers, which we desperately need. Hopefully we will see decent reinforcements come in before end of window #NUFC

I don’t know where to start. This has so far been a disastrous transfer window. So much hope, so much promise. Just wasted. If Isak leaves Bruno, Tonali, Joelinton et al will all be seriously questioning the project and thinking about their situation. I’m so disappointed in ownership… #NUFC

It didn’t have great sales because ultimately it was just an ok game. It was fun & good story but didn’t deliver on all its promise of flying around galaxy doing your own thing. It was too linear, space part was pointless and lack of impact from choices meant they were irrelevant. Shame. #StarWars

I know it’s just a friendly. But today against Celtic puts even more into focus our need to desperately strengthen depth in our squad. And yet target after target are being swept up by our rivals as soon as we show interest. Trafford to Man City is another. Things need to change, quickly. #NUFC

Hugo Ekitike: Liverpool close in on Eintracht Frankfurt striker in £70m-plus Liverpool are in advanced talks to sign Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike in a deal worth more than £70m.

Another example of how #PSR is damaging competitiveness of #PremierLeague. If we weren’t constrained we would not be losing promising target to a rival club. The “top 6” have had years of unconstrained investment leading to much larger commercial incomes now. Giving them unfair advantage #NUFC

Newcastle interest in Hugo Ekitike: Can he play with Alexander Isak? Newcastle are exploring a move for Hugo Ekitike - but would the French striker play with Alexander Isak or replace him?

Losing Isak would be a wrong step back even with Ekitike coming in. Plus I wouldn’t think anything less than £150 million for Isak would be acceptable? The hope is we get and keep both. #NUFC

Man City agree Premier League record £1bn kit deal Manchester City extend their kit partnership with Puma for at least 10 years, with the contract understood to be worth a minimum of £1bn, making it the largest deal in the Premier League.

How are we supposed to compete fairly with this? Ridiculous #PSR means it’s impossible for teams to break into and remain in top 6 because they can’t compete against revenue (linked to success which is linked to huge previous investment). Add constant CL and CWC incomes too. System is broke. #NUFC

Hugo Ekitike: Newcastle explore record deal for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Newcastle are exploring a record deal for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike.

We seem to be incapable of keeping our transfer business quiet. I understand there is a huge interest in our transfers but I see other teams like Liverpool go from confirmed interest/bid being made public to signing within a week or so. It’s frustrating. Leak at club? Or by club? 🤷🏼‍♂️ #NUFC

Actually he supported Man Utd and Reims as a boy. But I get your point about Messi. What I don’t get, and what proved true in hindsight, is he was never really going to get that many games at PSG. But he would have been a starter for us. I suspect money talked.

This deal is potentially good as long as we have enough money left over to add to strength in depth in other key areas, especially CB and GK. Not so happy we are going for a player who rejected the project/club only a couple years ago #NUFC

Watching Women’s #Wimbledon final is painful. Really feel for Anisimova. Total blowout. 😬

Amazing first signing of the season. 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼 Looking forward to seeing more coming through door. We need to strengthen quality of depth in squad for upcoming campaign on multiple front. #NUFC ⚫️⚪️

Anthony Elanga: Newcastle complete £55m signing of Nottingham Forest winger Newcastle complete the £55m signing of winger Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest.

All good… 😊 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Haven’t seen that one

Looks like an AI photo to me.

I wasnt worried about how fast we were doing business Ian. It’s just Gibbs-White situation kind of changes things for Forest in terms of Elanga transfer. Until papers are signed and finalised they can pull plug. Unlike Gibbs-White transfer which has minimum release clause and they don’t have choice

Well that’s good news if true. 👍🏼 Where did you hear that? RE: media done etc?

*and Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal, Man Utd. Any team that has managed to develop huge commercial earnings due to their historic buying powers over the years have an unfair advantage. Ridiculous #PSR stops teams break into and stay in “top 6” and is a disaster for newly promoted teams.

Yeah the wonders of PSR. 🤬 You got a gem on the cheap there. Fair play.

Is anyone else worried that Elanga transfer has not been finalised yet while Spurs activate Gibbs-White release clause? Surely Forest can’t afford to lose both. They have no choice on Gibbs-White but they could still pull plug on Elanga transfer… 😬 #NUFC @chrisdhwaugh.bsky.social

… of this must not distract from making sure that the alleged victims are properly cared for and supported through this difficult process. The moral obligation of the club is to make sure they do everything they can to make sure they are supported as well as upholding innocence until proven guilty.

… to uphold the sacrosanct of innocence until proven guilty as well as making sure they are putting in all the necessary safeguards around player until trial? If proven guilty the accused will go to jail which is what our society has determined as punishment once proven guilty of a crime. But all…

… someone has a chance to prove their innocence. By suspending the accused surely the message given out is one of presumed guilt before a trial has taken place? It’s certainly not an easy position for club to be in. But since person has not been convicted yet surely they equally have a moral duty…

Arsenal’s stance over Thomas Partey feels morally indefensible Serious questions are being asked over club's decision not to suspend midfielder after he was accused of rape

Really thought provoking piece by @sarahshephard.bsky.social in @theathletic.bsky.social I completely agree that alleged victims must be the priority here. Innocence until proven guilty must be also be sacrosanct. Otherwise we risk prejudging guilt before… www.nytimes.com/athletic/647...

Absolutely devastating news. 😢 I send my heartfelt condolences to his family and to all associated with #LiverpoolFootballClub. It’s times like these where whole football community rally round. What a tragic loss to the game too. ❤️❤️ RIP Diogo. 🖤🤍 #LFC #Jota #NUFC

This is one of the most one sided #ChamionsLeagueFinal I have watched in years. #PSG have totally destroyed #InterMilan. Makes you wish it would have been a PSG v Barcelona final. Anyway congratulations to my maternal home city. First ever #UEFAChampionsLeague. #PSGINT

Unbelievable to be back in #ChampionsLeague again!! Well done lads 👏🏼👏🏼 But if this season told us one thing… we desperately need to overhaul our second string and increase our strength in depth. HUGE summer ahead. New signings will determine everything for next season. Let’s not get left behind #NUFC
