*We've said it before---and we'll say it again----The Geordie Times won't print stories of possible new signings, until they are standin' on the SJP pitch in a black n white top, wavin' a Toon scarf above their heeds!---Then we know that it's 'cast in stone'!

In the 1960's London Bridge woz dismantled brick by brick and transported to the USA and reassembled!
Surely this could be done with Leazes Terrace !(reputedly owned by a Saudi company?) and moved to a location nearby!?
The East Stand could then be extended!
Are yoo readin' this PIF!?
And here's another solution!!!⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

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!
*WHITE SMOKE CONFIRMATION!

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!

We will soon find oot and will let yoo naa az soon az possible, just who we get! (Forst game at the end of August) The draw will be live on Sky Sports News at '11:30am bells' on Thorzday!
