A 5 year contract haz been mentioned for the 22 year old Dutch International and he iz due to arrive in Geordieland on Munday for a medical!
This brings wor total 'spend' on defenders this year to £71 million with Kieran Trippier, Dan Burn and Matt Targett aalready on board! Add on wor new goalie Nick Pope for £10 million and the total defensive 'wall' comes to £81 million so far! (The same az wot Moan U payed for Harry Maguire!)
More signings are in 'the offing' and a striker remains a top priority!
We will of course bring yoo any news on 'that'! So az per usual, "Watch this space!"

The 30 year old stopper iz wor 2nd pormanent signin of the close season and iz a great edition to 'Steady Eddie's squad and some competition for Martin Dubravka, who we assume will be 2nd choice now!
Toon fans have aalready ordered their rosary beads to welcome him to SJP!

The draw for the Papa Crapa Trophy (EFL Trophy) haz paired NUFC U21s with Barnsley, Donny and Lincoln's forst teams! (Aall away games for wor U21s)
Theeze are groonds that we have been tee before, so it's a bit disappointin', az far az we are concerned!
'The NUFC mad-sad groundhoppers' have been to both Barnsley and Donny for competitive games, but anly for a friendly at Lincoln, where a certain Alan Shearer scored a penalty to win the game, many, many moons ago!
So Lincoln iz 'penciled in' for a definate groundhoppers away trip!
Dates and kick off times to be confirmed!

*Here are the propaa fixtures for next season!
We just knew that the 'leaked' ones on Munday were fake, az reported in The Geordie Times!⇊⇊
Az published on Munday!
*NUFC start off with a home game against the newly promoted 'Friar Tuck Mob' from Nottingham, followed by a lang away trek to 'Ne Where Near' Brightin the followin week!
The 'Friar Tuck' game will take place az advertised on Saturday 6th August at '3:00 bells', az it hazzint been picked for live telly!
Aall othaa fixtures are subject to change and probably 50% to 60% of 'wors' will be moved for live telly or teams playin in Europe!
(Games for the rest of August and September will be picked for live telly on July 5th ---allegedly?)
Wot iz trueleee shockin' however, iz that NEE fixtures will be played between the 'so caalled' 'big six' in the last fixtures before the World Cup break, at the request of Gareth Soothgate and the FA! (Ing-er-land stand nee chance anyway!--- Hungary ranked 40 in the world won 4-0 against wor no hopers!)
In othaa words the Premyaa Leegue admit that we do indeed have a 'big six' and preferential treatment will be given to those clubs, against the 'pleb 14' includin' NUFC!---A cartel in othaa words!The MAGnificent 7?
Posted 'high noon bells' Tuesday 14th Joon 2022
Some Premyaa Leegue fixtures were allegedly leaked yesterday, givin' NUFC a home game v The Liverbirds for wor forst game and then away to Moan United a week later!
This happened last season, but when the fixtures came oot 'officially' they wornt in the same order!---ie: 'Fake news' (Az Donald Trump would say!)
*The 'alledged' fixture dates for August and September
*The NUFC official site haz nowt aboot this, so wait til Thorzday to find oot the truth!
Meeenwhile the club ARE sayin on their website that wor 'next game' will be against Benfica in Lisbon at the 'real' Stadium of Light, on the 26th of July!
WE are tryin to find oot if there are any more games abroad before this on the previous Saturday, but we suspect that Benfica, indeed, will be wor forst friendly game, due to the fixture overload of Nations Leegue games etc, which involves a few of wor players! ie: they need a rest before the 2022-2023 season starts!
Anly 3 friendlies have been arranged so far---mebeez because of this? (Normally there are 5 or 6)
SO!---"Watch this space for any future developments!"
Posted 'high noon 🔔 bells' Friday 10th Joon 2022
Some great news for aall NUFC away supporters!----By a unanimous decision the Premyaa Leegue clubs voted to keep the £30 limit on away tickets for the next 3 years!
*The price cap of £30 woz introduced in the 2016-2017 season, because clubs like Moan U and Chelski were chargin away fans a mooth waaterin £55 plus for cr*p seats in the corner of their groonds!
If it had went on this way, we would be payin' in excess of £90 to watch an away game now!
"AWAY FANS MATTER!" *** "AWAY THE LADS!"

NUFCs new home shirt haz been reveeeled!---It looks 'mint'---Much better than the 'number 4' thick striped top from last season!
Despite rumours that new Saudi sponsors would be on the front of the shirt, 'FUN88' will again be wor sponsors!
SO!---lets have some 'fun' and games next season with a few new signings!
However!!!
