Looking at some data for the season and the biggest alarm bell I’ve found is Jacob Murphy has taken 26 shots. The next most is Bruno and Gordon with 14. We won’t go anywhere quick if this trend continues. #nufc

Tino/Hall getting spoken about a lot and for good reason. As much as they do offer more in the final third, the thing we miss most is their ability to carry the ball 5-10 yards in our first phase of play. We’re so stodgy in the first phase without them. #nufc

Not Howe out by a long shot, but I do find it interesting the divisions in opinion. Some think he has enough credit to be given a lot more time, while others want him gone now. How long does that credit buy him? It’s impossible to know the right answer. #nufc

Joelinton discourse from opposition fans is funny to me. Is the bloke a tactical foul master? Yes. Does he walk a fine line sometimes? Yes. Is he dangerous? Never. Can’t recall him ever injuring someone or going studs up. #nufc

I think tonight is the night Will Osula becomes a hero. I’ll take no questions at this time. #nufc

Interested to see the line up tomorrow night. Feels like a good opportunity for us to get a big result at home over a rival, even if it is a cup game. #nufc

Sadly, there’s never been anything as guaranteed as Forest beating us on Sunday in a game that’ll go down as the only win for Ange before getting sacked at the end of October. #nufc

Lots of result/confirmation bias after that one. My read on the game was that it was an even one. Both teams carried out their game plans, and the one that got the first goal won. Think that would have been true if we’d got it. Both teams very good at managing a lead. #nufc

Just saw two Magpies together while on the dog walk, so by the law of Magpies, we will see a Newcastle win today. Don’t worry, I saluted. #nufc

Best thing about this app is Kev’s transfer threads. Another great and unbiased analysis of a new signing. #nufc

Recovered to a 7/10 window for me. Never looked like being a 10/10 window, but looked like a potential 1 or 2 at some points. Club did well to recover. Hopefully lessons learned, both about managing your current players and the agents/transfer journalists too. Looked amateur at times. #nufc

If Isak/Osula/Wissa all get confirmed, I'd call the window 6/10. Raised the floor of the squad, but lost key players too. Isak the quality, while Wilson/Longstaff/Dubravka all good influences to lose. Hopefully we have left something back for January. Fresh impetus then can be important. #nufc

Get ready for the Will Osula PR. Doubt we sign another striker. #nufc

Last season, we played terrible at the start of the season and got more points than we deserved. This year, it’s the opposite so far. Points are king, but it’s probably a better base to build on. #nufc

Wissa and Isak. The Instagram divas. Coming to a stadium near you soon. #nufc

Great thread as ever from Kev. The more I hear/read about Ramsey, the more excited I am about the move. Hopefully this isn’t Kev’s final thread of the summer. #nufc

Why Newcastle have moved for Jacob Ramsey ⚫⚪ 🧩 Where will he fit in? ⚽️ Style of play 📊 Stat breakdown 📉 Weaknesses 🤔 Will he be a good signing? ✍️ Full article from @jakejackman.bsky.social ⬇️ www.nufcblog.co.uk/2025/08/14/w... #NUFC #AVFC

This weekend, the match gets decided by Villa’s left vs our right. If Tripps/Schar get support and play well, we will win. If they get left isolated against Maatsen/Malen/Rogers/Watkins, we lose. It’s that simple for me. #nufc

I struggle to really get the argument Liverpool fans are making about Isak. We are trying to let him go, but surely they understand we can't do that unless we sign some strikers. We're not moaning about Brentford keeping hold of Wissa, as they'd be silly to let him go without a new striker. #nufc

A must read for any #nufc fan. Probably worth reading for any fan to be honest. Kev doing what Kev does.

One reason to be very positive about our season ahead is our wide options. Last season, the four of them combined for 61 goal contributions. I wouldn’t back against them getting a similar haul this campaign. Elanga/Gordon both have room for his growth in their production. #nufc

Malick Thiaw a great signing. Fans won’t even notice his biggest weakness, which is that he can be slow on the turn due to his size. Mainly because Schar and Burn are even slower… #nufc

If Newcastle end up with Jackson because they’ve lost out on Sesko they’ve literally fallen upwards

I’m the driver of the Nicolas Jackson train. Sign him. See him score more than Sesko, Ekitike and Pedro. #nufc

We need to take the narrative back on the Isak deal. If he goes, fine, but make sure we're controlling the terms and the timing. Feels like Liverpool have bullied us for weeks now. If we don't sign a striker this week, I'd completely end any possibility of a sale. Can't let it drag on. #nufc

Wonder how DCL is feeling. The fact he hasn’t signed for anyone suggests to me he could be holding out for us to become desperate enough. Becomes more likely by the day… #nufc

Benjamin Sesko feels a bit like Isak when we signed him. Hugely talented, but none of the big clubs fancied him enough to make him their guy. Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City all signed strikers when we signed Isak and he was left on the market for us. Similar thing now with Sesko. #nufc

If Isak is pushing to leave, I'd be happy to sell him. On the provision that we sign at least a centre back, centre midfielder and two strikers, all of good standard. I have no faith the club would deliver that though, so better off gambling on keeping Isak. #nufc

Not worried about Spurs with Wissa. They have Richarlison, Solanke and Tel. We have a hostage and a social media star. We’re definitely in greater need. #nufc

Preface this by saying I know betting markets are volatile and it doesn’t take much to move a ‘next club’ market. This is why it’s interesting to me that Isak is still 5/1 to go to Saudi or 6/1 to go to Liverpool. Considering the noise, I’d have thought he’d be much shorter. #nufc

This last week has been genuinely awful for the club, but that’s through the view of social media. I’m sure behind the scenes it’s been frustrating rather than a catastrophe. Minds need to be focused though. We need to strengthen the squad this summer - action is needed quickly. #nufc

Need to put the Ekitike stuff to one side and focus on the rest of the squad. Ideally, we need a GK, LB, CB, CM and ST to get us ready for the Champions League. Definitely won't get all of those, but we need at least three before the window closes. #nufc

The other place is an absolute cesspit over the Isak stuff. It’s only a football transfer but some of the abuse from both fan bases is pathetic.

Great analysis from Kev as always. A nice exclusive on this platform. Elanga can contribute straight away, but feels like we won’t see the best from him for a while.

I keep reading that Elanga has never been injured before. Excited for his hammy to ping in Asia. #nufc

Was slightly concerned by CL squad restrictions if Longstaff leaves, but turns out, we don’t have 25 players worth registering anyway. Will probably see Krafth/Targett/Lascelles miss out if we make the signings we need. A couple of those may leave anyway. #nufc

Murphy 🔵 will get plenty of time off the bench. He's been one of the EPL's best creators for around 18 months now. However, Elanga 🔴 delivered 11 assists in Nuno's attack (4th worst xG in the EPL) last season, there's a step for him to take in a more attacking #NUFC team

Isak/Liverpool stuff getting tiresome, but I’d be lying if I wasn’t worried about it. Could become a major hindrance to our window if it’s allowed to develop into a saga - even if he ends up staying. #nufc

Joao Pedro is a weird link to me. I just don’t understand where he would play. 60m is a lot for an attacker with less non penalty goals over the last two seasons than Bruno Guimaraes. #nufc

I love Tino Livramento, but the bloke is being gassed up to new levels in the national press. Saw one piece call him the new Gareth Bale. #nufc

Newcastle’s next striker – Summer 2025 scout report ⚫️⚪️ ✍️ @jakejackman.bsky.social www.nufcblog.co.uk/2025/06/14/n... #NUFC

When Darwin Nunez does leave Liverpool, I’ll start to worry about Isak leaving. They feel like the only team that might put silly money down this summer. Slightly concerning… #nufc

Lewis Miley linked to Palace? Belongs to the same agency as Marc Guehi. Interesting to note. #nufc

If we’re going to buy our RW from a PL club (I hope we don’t restrict the market but we know Eddie) - then my order of preference of linked players would be Madueke > Elanga > Semenyo. If Chelsea are really going to let Madueke go, he’d be the one who can explode under Howe. #nufc

Tino being linked with a move away. That’s what happens when you have good players. As ever, the buyers need to pay the price we want and no team has managed to do that for a player we want to keep since the takeover. #nufc

Excellent work from Kev as per and it’s nice for this to be a blue sky exclusive. Hopefully a few of these turn up over the summer. #nufc

Window isn’t even open yet and already seen a few comments saying we need to ‘hurry up’. Really is the most tedious part of the football season. Vibe much nicer here than the other site though… #nufc

Bryan Mbuemo and Marc Guehi are the types of player we should be targeting. Unfortunately they also scream long protracted transfer sagas and I’m not sure I can deal with more of those this summer. #nufc
