Bruno Guimaraes (Done Deal)

[Don Sholeone]

Looking like it will be completed before the weekend.

[Tsi]

Will be an excellent signing (unless it goes t*** up) excited about this one and can't wait to see him playing

Hopefully acts as a catalyst in attracting other players too. Could be an exciting weekend ahead.

It's a really good signing I watch a lot the French and I really like him..it really what we need in midfield

[beatski]

think this one will make the big difference to the squad. over the moon. the exact type of player i've wanted us to get in for a few seasons now

[Oval85]

But... Nobody wants to sign for Newcastle?!

-Cabby Agbonlahor

[Don Sholeone]

Bakker, Burn and Nunez next.

[MJ91]

If we get Zapata over Nunez I will be over the moon

Adds to what was already a very good window so far!

[seaside nipper]

I’ll believe it when he’s in the stripes…….

[Captain Obvious]

Have never heard of the bloke myself but French people I know say he's very very good. Like better than Cabaye good.

Bought him once on FM.

Just looking at his stats the past two seasons he has been class. Arsenal and Liverpool have been following him for two seasons, probably some of the other ones as well. Even though the team has been average this season, he's been Lyon's best player so far.
Looks to be settling in the national team as well now, could be having Brazil's CM pair in the future

Eddie Howe says Newcastle are hopeful of "getting closer to completing a transfer for a player."

No names mentioned of course with Howe adding: "We'll try and give you that update as soon as we have it. But fingers crossed that we're close to getting one over the line."

This. Him, Joelinton and Shelvey will be a good midfield trio. Gives us balance in defence and attack. Added to that you got Willock, Almirion, Longstaff and Hayden as back-ups.

Dubra
Trippier Burn Schar Bakker
Guimaraes
Shelvey Joelinton
Nunez Wilson ASM

Bench : Darlow, Dummet, Manquillo, Ritchie, Miggy, Willock, Murphy, Fraser, Wood.

Squad players / back-ups (can rotate on the bench, etc) : Fernandez, Clark, Lascelles, Kraft, Lewis, Hendrick, Longstaff, Hayden, Gayle.

This is of course if we ever get to have a fully fit squad. But you can see what deadwood we need to get rid off in the summer. Either they too old/contract ending/not good enough (Championship standard) or we simply need to upgrade.

Not too shabby eh.. Looks like a potential top-half team (on form) instead of a relegation threatened one.

That scatter plot gets me giddy! I feel like you and I (as well as Sanchino and BB) have been beating the drum for a CM like this for years now.

Feels like forever aye! Can't wait to see the difference it makes at both ends of the pitch.

Reckon we've got enough to stay up as it is if we get him in now, that said, if we don't get a CB on in I won't be happy at all as it's not worth taking the chance

[gola]

yeh me 2 been sayin it year like me probs cabaye last time we had sum1 in that role

[Toondes]

This seems to have gone a bit quiet since yesterday. Is the medical finished ?
