After a summer of failed attempts to land a striker, #NUFC have signed 23-year-old German international striker Nick Woltemade (Vol-tuh-mar-duh) from VfB Stuttgart in a club record £69m deal. Let’s look at what the 6’6” striker, nicknamed "Wolte-Messi", will bring to St James’ Park 🧵

Here we go again… #FPL

After 3 years of chasing the young German centreback, Newcastle United #NUFC are about to sign Malick Thiaw (pronounced Mal-ick Tch-ow) for a reported fee of £35m including add-ons. Why has Eddie Howe’s & the club's interest never waned? Let’s break down what the 24-year-old will bring to SJP 🧵🔽

🟢 61k to 33k Transferred out Murphy this week, but brought in Rogers and it allowed for Howe AM, so could have been a lot worse… #FPL

Can’t complain… Isak (c), Livramento and AM Howe still to go #FPL

A few things you need to know about Alexander Isak. 1. You can’t have him, no matter how much you talk about him. 2. He is not for sale. 3. You can’t afford him. 4. Even if he was for sale and you could afford him, you still can’t have him. Etc. #NUFC www.nytimes.com/athletic/625...

Assistant Manager Howe locked in 🔒 Now just need to decide on Salah or Isak captaincy and Rogers or Savinho to bench… #FPL

Here we go… #FPL #GW30

They’re currently testing the Sela drone show over the town moor Including a depiction of Burn’s header #NUFC

In none crappy clipped off screen quality. God I love this image #NUFC

40 minute cup final Match Cam?! Fuck England, this is going straight on #NUFC

Where’s the Match Cam? @newcastleunited.com #NUFC

I've now watched every interview, numerous highlights, behind the scenes clips, read every thread, and social media posts, and I now don't know what to do with myself #NUFC

great article on J7, and his role in pushing Szlobo back, leaving Salah without a supporting RCM, was as critical as Tino and Burn marking him, in keeping him locked out

Absolutely gone at this footage of Howe and Bruno at full time yesterday. What a group of lads we have 🖤🤍🖤🤍

I want a statue of Tonali doing up his laces to waste time #NUFC

Still just feel lucky to have been able to experience that at Wembley with my dad and brother. Won’t get better. #NUFC

Tattoo if we win #NUFC

GW29 🔒 3 FTs: Trent ➡️ Gvardiol Palmer ➡️ Elanga Gakpo ➡️ Haaland Haaland 🧢 #FPL

GW27 🔒 🥶 ©️ 50k 🌍 Konsa ➡️ Ait-Nouri #FPL

🟢⬆️ 50k (89 points) Expected a red. Got a small green. GW26 couldn’t really have gone much better. Will absolutely take that with no chips in play this week. Assistant Manager still in the back pocket too… #FPL

We didn’t make it easy for ourselves but that was a HUGE win. Champions League qualification 6-pointer. #NUFC #NFFC

🌍🎧 GW26 Preview 2️⃣6️⃣ The Differential Show All the weekend games previewed & predicted, Suj may have the luxury of storing transfers, whilst I'm trying to balance either running through BGW29 or Wildcarding in it (IT+) 👇 www.patreon.com/posts/122765...

GW26 🔒 59k 🌍 Expecting another red arrow this week with no chips in play. Hopefully it’s only a small red and I can use my Assistant Manager later in the season to kick on… #FPL

Rogers is leaving the team this week for a second Bournemouth midfielder (already have Kluivert) It’s close between Dango and Semenyo, but I think I’m going to have to go for Semenyo for security of minutes long-term, given that I probably won’t be wildcarding until GW35 #FPL

As expected, a red arrow this week with no chips in play. I’ll absolutely take a small 7 point red though. Assistant Manager chip still in the back pocket ready to make up more ground later down the line… #FPL

GW25 🔒 47k 🌍 Expecting back to back red arrows in 25 and 26, but have decided to save the chips for the back end of the season for a big final push. #FPL

FPL Double and Blank Gameweek update As you can see from "other permutations" taking up 73.5% of the sample space, we are not even close to knowing what is going to happen yet. However, here are our best guesses 🧵

Newcastle United are the only club still on for the domestic treble #NUFC

Sandro Tonali is absolutely class #NUFC

That atmosphere last night really was up there with PSG 90 minutes away now… #NUFC

Bench Rogers or Wood this week? 🤔 #FPL

This is genuinely brilliant by my colleague James Monte. I'll be chewing on this for a few days. One very interesting tidbit here is how frequently #NUFC 's long balls release players into... not just space, but acres of it 🔽 statsbomb.com/articles/soc...

GW24 🔒 #FPL

This is so noticeable when watching our games, too. He’s all-out right up until the final minute. Mad. #NUFC

So that's the end of Miggy Almiron. A player that holds a special place in my heart because I wrote about him for the Clubs website (an article that got wiped when they moved the domain 😭 ) That predicted he was about to have his best #NUFC season before the 'purple patch'. Made me feel smart.

Finally into the top 100k for the first time this season #FPL

I will always remember that first goal against PSG. The start of my favourite NUFC match of recent years. Unfortunately, he just simply wasn’t good enough to keep up with the trajectory of the club’s improvement. We need to get much better at selling players and this is a good start. #NUFC

GW23 🔒 160k Had the exact funds so had to move early before Gakpo rises tonight. Feels wrong to bench Rogers though… #FPL

How we’re currently looking for GW22 #FPL

Is this worthy of a Bench Boost? 🤔 #FPL

God I love Bruno 😅 if he ever leaves it'll hurt. #NUFC

Feels like another mini migration from X to Bluesky is underway again. The owner of that site really is the best marketing manager this place could have. If you’re a #nufc and you’re new here, this starter pack is a quick way to get up and running ⬇️
